Hello again, homeys! Sorry for being silly on my last thread, but this one is serious. As you can see below, I have have built a hyper offensive team around Mega Heracross, and, coincidentally, the colors of the Pokemon happen to form a RGB pattern (for those living under a rock, RGB means red-green-blue, dangit!).
So let's get started!
Teambuilding process:
=Mega Heracross is a total badass. Just look at its attack stat. With that 185 attack stat, Mega Heracross can break through lots of walls. It can nearly 2HKO a Skarmory with Close Combat! I choose him, because it is not so popular; thus, many teams would not prepare for it.
=Thundurus is an excellent offensive partner to Mega Heracross, since it can check Gliscor and defensive Landorus-t, which are the few walls that can take Mega Heracross's attacks. More importantly though, the genie can check flying-types that are also problematic to Mega Heracross, such as Talonflame and Mega Pinsir.
=Here is the marine pony! Scarfed Landorus-t was still a problem, until I added Keldeo to my team. Keldeo, like Thundurus, can apply huge amounts of offensive pressure on the opposing team. Mega Heracross and Thundurus can cover Keldeo's checks pretty well. For example, Keldeo lures in Slowbro and Mega Venusaur, which are taken down by Thundurus and Mega Heracross, respectively.
=Is this a specially defensive Heatran? No. It is a scarfed Heatran. I needed a revenge killer, so I chose this Pokemon. It may be an odd choice for a revenge killer, but it isn't. Not only Heatran covers up my huge Fairy-type weakness (becasue of Mega Heracross and Keldeo), but it is an unpredictable threat. This is because that scarfed Heatrans are very unpopular. It can outspeed and obliterate many unsuspecting threats that would have outsped Heatran without a Choice Scarf. With Overheat, Heatran can deal heavy damage to Pokemon that even resist it, leaving an easier chance for teammates to break through those Pokemon. So in conclusion, this Heatran is a hit-and-run revenge killer with lots of firepower behind it.
=Latios is the common offensive Defogger, and it does well at its job. It can severely dent or OHKO several Pokemon that can be a problem for my team. It is especially threatening for unprepared teams, which makes beating the opponent easier for my teammates. Latios also has Defog, since Thundurus is weak against Stealth Rock.
=I really wanted a setup sweeper, so i chose Bisharp. I made sure that all of Bisharp's checks are covered by the rest of the team, and they are. With one boost, this metallic knight can be a nightmare when its checks are removed. With Sucker Punch, Bisharp can also revenge kill problematic Pokemon like Starmie, which can harass my team.

Set Details:
Hitman (Bisharp) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Swords Dance
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
===BlackGlasses are preferred over Life Orbs, because it has no recoil, leaving Bisharp less suspectible to revenge killing. Also, Bisharp usually uses Dark-type attacks, so I do not mind when Iron Head does not get boosted by the BlackGlasses. Sucker Punch helps Bisharp to revenge kill, and Swords Dance enables it to sweep. It has Jolly nature to outspeed Adamant Mega Altaria, Gyarados, Diggersby, and many more relatively slow Pokmeon with Adamant nature.
tactical nuke (Heatran) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Flash Fire
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 24 HP / 252 SpA / 232 Spe
Timid Nature
- Overheat
- Flash Cannon
- Earth Power
- Stone Edge
===Choice Scarf boosts Heatran's speed. The given EV spreads and the nature enable Heatran to outspeed Mega Lopunny and opposing Scarfed Heatrans. Overheat..I'm not going to need to say anything about that. Flash Cannon destroys Fairy-types; Earth Power takes down opposing Heatrans; and Stone Edge takes care of Mega Charizard-Y and Talonflame.
MLP 2 Confirmed (Keldeo-Resolute) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Hydro Pump
- Icy Wind
===Choice Specs is the item I prefer for Keldeo, since it makes the pony pack a lot of power in its attacks. But why have Hydro Pump and Scald together? Scald has a decent 30% chance of burning Pokemon, and Hydro Pump has more power. Secret Sword is also a strong STAB move. Icy Wind can wreck Latioses and Latiases on the switch and lower their speed, enabling Keldeo to finish them off.
Airstrike (Latios) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Defog
===Life Orb is for more power. Draco Meteor and Psyshock are Latios's dual STABs. This flying dragon lures in Bisharp and Scizor, so Hidden Power Fire is used to obliterate them. Defog is to remove entry hazards...that's the whole purpose of this set!
Lance Armstrong (Heracross) (M) @ Heracronite
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Pin Missile
- Rock Blast
- Substitute
===Mega Heracross needs that Heracronite (you don't say), and his nickname is a self-explanatory steroids reference. With Jolly nature, Mega Heracross can outspeed many more threats than him having an Adamant nature. Close Combat and Pin Missile are its STAB attacks, and Rock Blast is needed for Pokemon that resist its STABs. Substitute is important, because Mega Heracross can block status like burn and paralysis, and it can break through extra Pokemon.
Aladdin (Thundurus) @ Life Orb
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Focus Blast
===Thundurus has Life Orb for extra damage. With Prankster and Thunder Wave, Thundurus can act as a "team saver;" it can paralyze setup sweepers to severely cripple them, making it easy for its teammates to finish it off. Thundurus needs Timid Nature to outspeed base 110-speed Pokemon. Thunderbolt, HP Ice, and Focus Blast have great coverage together; HP Ice can destroy Gliscors and Landorus-ts, and Focus Blast can wreck Heatrans and Tyranitars.
Hope you enjoy this team, guys, and don't forget to mention whatever weaknesses my team has. Thank you! <3
