Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Volcanion is a great partner for MegaBee. MegaBee invites in a lot of bulky Pokemon it can't break being: Hippowdon, Steelix, Aggron, Gligar, Doublade etc. All of which Volcanion appreciates the free switch into to nuke them. Focus Blast allows it to 2OHKO Alo and pressures Suicune a lot especially if Bee knocks the Lefties off for example. Volcanion also provides a soft check to Scizor which is one of the biggest nuisances for MegaBee due to priority BP. Volcanion in return appreciates MegaBee pressuring Latias, Non-Scarf Hydra, Celebi, Mega Altaria etc.
Moltres @ Choice Specs
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Fire Blast
- Flamethrower
- Sleep Talk
Mega Beedrill's U-Turn lets Moltres come in for free on bulky Steel- and Ground-types that tries to switch on Mega Beedril, letting Moltres make holes in the opposing team while also weaken Rock type Pokémons, making cleaning in late game with Mega Beedrill much easier. Thanks to Sleep Talk it can switch on Rocky Helmet Amoonguss' Spore which otherwise would chip-damage Mega Beedrill a lot.
Zeraora @ Life Orb
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Plasma Fists
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot
- Volt Switch
Basic Voltturn core with 2 fast mons. Beedrill can use Knock to removes eviolites from gligar and lefties from hippos, etc. That helps Zerora break as well as Zera helping wear down said grounds with grass knot and bulky waters for Beedrill.
So beedrill loves pivoting around and gligar is a nice mon to let it do that. Most notably it can switch into Mega-Aerodactyl pretty safely as well as opposing electric-types.
Legit I only ever use Mega Beedrill for Toxic Spikes+Speed control. Mega Beedrill naturally threatens out Pokemon through its attempts to revenge kill which can give it various opportunities to set up Toxic Spikes. Kyurem abuses the shit out of Toxic Spikes as it can pose a massive threat against Stall if it can keep it up. Mega Beedrill's and Kyurem's Ground coverage together can allow them to muscle through Steel-types through smart plays.
Slowbro @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 76 Def / 180 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Calm Mind
- Slack Off
- Psyshock / Ice Beam
CM Mega Bro basically beats every ground that can threaten Muk including Krookodile as you taking nothing from Knock in regular and even less upon evolution. It also beats the fighting types in the tier which can use Muk as a set-up opportunity especially if it lacks Focus Punch. Even with Focus Punch Muk can't do much to MegaLix and Aggron, but Slowbro is capable of beating them. Muk traps stuff like Celebi, Latias, Starmie and Chand which force Slowbro out if it can't afford to take the super effective coverage. Muk also acts as a Toxic absorber which is appreciated for CM Bro. Muk is able to punish Pokemon like Hydreigon and Manectric thanks to its bulk and remove items from the former and poison both with Poison Touch potentially.
