645-therian.gif

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
- Rock Polish

The cat is landorus-therain XD.Double boosting set is rare,i'm not sure why but this shouldn't be happening.Double boosting landorus is absolutely threatening that can threaten anything bar the bulkiest physical walls.Earthquake and stone edge for the EdgeQuake Combo while SD+Rock Polish for the double boosting combo.QUite a shame that landorus lacks a good flying STAB move like brave bird but oh well.Landorus is absolutely threatening with intimidate too allowing to set up on most physical attackers with ease.
keldeo-resolute.gif

Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SAtk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Timid Nature
- Secret Sword
- Hydro Pump
- Scald
- Hidden Power [Flying]

The pony was absoluetly threatening with a specs or scarf last gen as rain is around everywhere.This gen with rain's nerf,the pony becomes slightly less good but that's by no mean keldeo is mediocre!Secret Sword is threatening and hurts chansey and stuff really hard.Hydro Pump for a STAB Move as it has an OP 120 power.Scald can burn the foe which is amazing when keldeo can't handle the foe and a burn is needed to defeat it.HP Flying for venusaur switch ins severly damaging it.It also resists water and ice making a nice partner fo the cat.

Aegislash @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Stance Change
EVs: 4 SDef / 252 Atk / 252 SAtk
Quiet Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Shadow Sneak
- King's Shield
- Sacred Sword

Handles psychics,fairies(not really sure)and flying mons that is not talonflame and lando twins/gliscor for keldeo(keldeo threatens the latter three)while keldeo threatens grounds and fires that aegislash hates.I really love aegislash's WP set,it is OP.Shadow Ball is the STAB attack here and with sacred sword nothing resists it.Shadow Sneak for picking weakened foes.Thinking to replace sacred sword for iron head to make sure it can handle fairies but it will leave helpless to bisharp which is not quite a prob as both lando and keldeo can counter it well.

dragonite.gif


Dragonite @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
- Outrage
- Dragon Dance
The Dragon of the team turns out to be dragonite and it is pretty good.WP Multsicale dragonite+DD is quite deadly especially when weilding a +2 priorty with 80 power,perfect coverage with outrage+EQ that only misses out on skarm,toge and bron(toge doesn't resist ES).Not my favoruite dragon but this dragon is one of the strongest dragons in the tier for sure.Also have good synergy with the team.
zapdos.gif

Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 Spd
Bold Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
The defogging special attacker of the team.Defog clears hazards and roost for recovery while thunderbolt for STAB and heat wave for steels.Specially offensive beacause i feel that i need a special attacker on the team and zapdos fits it.The lighning bird also can deal with birds and stuff like bisharp.
mawile-mega.gif

Mawile @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch
- Stealth Rock
- Iron Head
The mega of the team turns to a fairy.This fairy has real deal sheer power,amazing physical bulk and a typing that rocks.Iron head+play rough for STABS while dealing quite easily with fairies and dragons.Sucker Punch for priorty and to break down most pokemons.Stealth Rock might seem crazy but it is unpredictable and mawile really forces switches(anyone,like to take a huge power play rough?)

One problem.Should i run SR landorus-t or double boosting one?

Hi there! Great team (it's so great I can barely say anything about it... XD )! There is good coverage and a counter for each of your pokemon's weaknesses. I once used this same landorus set and throughly enjoyed it. So anyways, here are a few minor issues I'll just let you know about.

I suggest changing Zapdos's nature for Bold<modest since with modest you lack any type of wall and that moveset is better benefitted by a defensive Zapdos. Also with Landorus's Intimidate it can further lower the attacks of Stone Edge. You may also want to give it 4 IV's in speed (I think you just missed that in your team preview). Finally, just be aware of rock type pokemon and moves since you have 3 pokemon weak to them. You have 2 steel pokemon that resist rock but rock pokemon usually come with Earthquake as well so just be careful. I think I would wreck your team by suggesting another pokemon.

Overall great team! I hope this helped!
 
Yo. Solid team here with a pretty long title lol. Anyway, here are a few suggestions that may help this team (I hope lol). I'd run Fire Fang > Iron Head and a spread of 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spd on Mawile. Play Rough already does a good number against Fairies (who are pretty frail on the physical side too) while the EVs allow you to outpace min speed Scizor and TTar. The 252 HP / 252 Atk spread is probably better for the SubPunch set. I'd also run Air Balloon > Weakness Policy on Aegislash. With the way it's setup (no HP EVs), it has a high chance of falling to Earthquakes, especially with SR on (but you have Defog for that anyway). That concludes this brief rate. I hope my suggestions help and good luck with your team!
 
I don't know if this is a great suggestion, but I have tested this out and found more consistency with using Dragon Claw over Outrage. I also prefer this on other Pokes such as Charizard Mega X or Salamence.
Also be wary of the fact that Stone Edge can miss anytime, and similarly with Outrage I like to use Rock Slide more, but this is all on personal preference.
Air Balloon instead of Policy can seem good at a glance but I still prefer the policy, since if Aegi is switched in to an EQ, it will be in Defense form therefore giving it a high chance to survive. Plus, Dnite can switch into a predicted EQ and not get hit by it, plus if the opponent doesn't have rocks up or any other great coverage against Dragonite, you get to set up a Dragon Dance with an extremely high chance of surviving, and potentially sweep (This is why I suggested Dragon Claw over Outrage - therefore giving it more potential to sweep and also have move consistency, since the common Fairy-Type, which has indeed dazzled lots of Pokemon fans, not only for the fact that it's a new type, can easily switch into Outrage, ending your rampage of attacks, but if it were not such a bulky one defensive-wise such as a support Florges, you can 0HKO it with EQ).

Gonna agree with this spread - I have tested it out myself several times and it works wonders, it can take a lot of special hits and retaliate back well.

For Aegi and Zapdos' EVs - for Aegi that spread seems too focused on pure attacking, making Aegislash's great ability do it less good, so if you still want to keep those attacking EVs the same then try this out - 176 Atk/176 SpA/156 HP. More bulk, and doesn't lose much attacking power. As for Zapdos, you should also shift some SpD EVs to HP, such as 176 SpD/252 SpA/76 HP. This way Zapdos can take some nice hits physically, and Bold makes it even better,

as said by Thundershock.
Overall, great team.
 
Hey, just a couple of quick suggestions.

Zapdos's EV spread is terribly inefficient. It doesn't need all of the Special Attack EVs, as its main duty on your team is to make sure that hazards are clear in order to keep Dragonite's Multiscale intact. You're better off running a defensive spread of 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe (or a bit less HP for some more Speed creep, if you so choose), with a Bold nature in order to help it do its job.

I'd also recommend using Knock Off instead of Iron Head on Mega Mawile. I know that people have suggested using Fire Fang instead, but you honestly don't really need it. You have Zapdos, Aegislash(/Tyranitar if you make the following change), and Keldeo to an extent to help handle Ferrothorn and Skarmory. Knock Off is a much better move for that slot because 1. Dark has amazing neutral coverage, particularly alongside Fairy which handles both opposing Dark-types and Fighting-types really well, and 2. you're much better off with same way of hitting Heatran that isn't the shaky Sucker Punch than hitting random Pokemon for neutral damage with Iron Head. It's a really powerful move, and the redundancy of using it alongside Sucker Punch isn't so bad when you consider that pretty much just Klefki and opposing Mawile can resist Dark/Fairy coverage.

You are also using an offensive team that lacks any sort of hazards. With all of Weakness Policy Aegislash, Dragon Dance Weakness Policy Dragonite, Swords Dance Mega Mawile, and Dual Dance Landorus-T on your team, you're pretty well stacked for wallbreakers and cleaners. You can easily cut one of these in order to fit on another defensive pivot that can also set up Stealth Rock. The best option for your team would probably be to run Tyranitar instead of Aegislash. If you actually look at your team, Aegislash doesn't really do much. You mention that it takes on Flying-types, but it's a risky switch into both Talonflame and Mega Pinsir. Tyranitar can easily switch into Talonflame, and Zapdos handles Mega Pinsir exceedingly well. Tyranitar can also go toe-to-toe with Latios and Latias, which is one of the things that Aegislash actually did contribute to the team. You're not missing out on much, and in Aegislash's place, you're getting an extra defensive pivot, one less setup sweeper (which is a very good thing for this team), a better answer to Flying-types, and most importantly a Stealth Rock setter. The best Tyranitar set for your team would be:

Tyranitar @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Crunch
- Fire Blast
- Stone Edge / Pursuit

Fire Blast is really nice to help take care of Ferrothorn and Skarmory, which your sweepers don't really enjoy dealing with. It also gives you a move to click against Aegislash without fearing the potential King's Shield drop. Stone Edge gives you coverage to maul Talonflame, but Pursuit can be nice to trap Latios and Latias in order to give more room for Keldeo to spam its STABs.

Good luck with the team!
 
@Thundershock:I guess i should run defensive zapdos,i just feel i need a special attacker.

@NotBruceWayne:Not really sure about the EVS spread of mega mawile and and fire fang.Kinda interested in air ballon.

@Worldpet:I just love outrage's sheer power as dragon claw is not just strong enough.Yeah,thanks i'll try out that EV spread for aegislash.

@Treecko:OK,i guess i should run some sort of stealth rock attackers and zapdos should be defensive.For tyranitar,there are problems.A large fairy weakness.Mawile has to run iron head to make sure that the team doesn't struggle with them.Zapdos is enough to deal with flying types i think.
 
I was going to mention that your team had a big ice weakness, but it was balanced out a bit by the fact that there is also three resistances. For Zapdos I'm not so sure about running SpD on it without HP investment. And as already mentioned, this team lacks a dedicated wall. But all in all this is surprisingly a somewhat balanced offensive team.
 
@Sharpedo:I have changed the EVS to be more defensive.

I found out that mega mawile can learn stealth rock and i can't really set up SD on anything.Thinking to test it as it is not predictable.

Stealth Rock Landorus-T's main problem is it's predictable.
 
Do you really need HP flying for mega venu,i use icy wind and it's arguably better.You can only really nail venu with HP flying on switch ins.

Replace landorus-t for landorus.The set is pretty bad as i tested the team,landorus is much better.

Icy Wind doesn't do super effective damage against Mega Saur though, unless it's switching in and didn't mega yet.
