  • This is my WiFi Battle Team. I mostly play 3v3, rarely in game do I get to do 6v6 battles with friends. Also consider the following: in 3v3 Battle Spot Scolipede rarely has a chance to set up because the strategy is a bit obvious and because Talonflame exists. So recommend a replacement.

    Some of my biggest problem Pokemon to deal with are Rotom-W, Quagsire, and Gliscor.

  • Hawlucha is honestly seriously mediocre without Flying Gem. SubLiechi is the most reliable way of activating Unburden at the moment. Sky Attack takes up a much-needed moveslot:
    -Substitute
    -Swords Dance
    -High Jump Kick
    -Acrobatics
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Liechi Berry
    Ability: Unburden

    Iron Defense isn't worth it outside of Baton Pass teams. Here are much better ways to use Mega Aggron:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Iron Head/Heavy Slam
    -Thunder Wave/Ice Punch
    -Earthquake/Rock Slide
    Nature: Relaxed
    EVs: 252 HP/16 Def/240 SDef
    Item: Aggronite (that's Aggron's Mega Stone; always use the specific names of each Mega Pokemon's Mega Stone)
    Ability: Sturdy

    or
    -Rest
    -Sleep Talk
    -Iron Head/Heavy Slam
    -Earthquake/Ice Punch
    Nature: Relaxed
    EVs: 252 HP/16 Def/240 SDef
    Item: Aggronite
    Ability: Sturdy

    There are better Wish Passers out there, like Vaporeon and Sylveon, who can do dedicated Wish passing better:

    Vaporeon:
    -Wish
    -Protect
    -Scald
    -Ice Beam/Roar/Toxic
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 248 HP/252 Def/8 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb

    Sylveon:
    -Wish
    -Protect
    -Hyper Voice
    -Heal Bell
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Pixilate

    It's better for Scolipede to have a Jolly nature to make it fast pre-Speed Boost, as the lack of Speed investment with your current spread could be detrimental at this point:
    -Megahorn
    -Spikes/Toxic Spikes
    -Swords Dance/Toxic Spikes
    -Earthquake/Rock Slide/Baton Pass
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 Def/252 Spe
    Item: Focus Sash/Mental Herb
    Ability: Speed Boost

    Even though Doublade's Defense is huge with Eviolite, it's not worth it because its Special Defense is still low, even with Eviolite. Always use Aegislash, and if you're strapped for items, you can use either of these sets, neither of which need Life Orb or Leftovers:
    -Shadow Ball
    -Shadow Sneak
    -Iron Head
    -Sacred Sword
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 252 Atk/252 SAtk/4 SDef
    Item: Spooky Plate/Spell Tag

    or
    -Autotomize
    -Shadow Ball
    -Hidden Power (Ice)
    -Sacred Sword/Iron Head/Flash Cannon
    Nature: Rash/Modest
    EVs: 88 Atk/252 SAtk/168 Spe
    Item: Weakness Policy

    Assault Vest Goodra needs all the power it can get:
    -Draco Meteor
    -Fire Blast
    -Thunderbolt/Sludge Bomb
    -Dragon Tail
    Nature: Quiet
    EVs: 248 HP/252 SAtk/8 SDef
    Item: Assault Vest
    Ability: Gooey/Sap Sipper

  • Hawlucha
    -Substitute
    -Swords Dance
    -High Jump Kick
    -Acrobatics
    Nature: Adamant/Jolly
    EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe
    Item: Liechi Berry
    Ability: Unburden

    Could you explain the SubLeichi idea. Clearly, I don't understant how this set works, because I tried it in-game and it didn't seem good at all. I was fighting a Lapras, Normally I would just OHKO it with HJK. With the SubLeichi set I Sub, Sub gets broken, rinse, repeat.

    With the Sky Attack set I can activate unburden at 100% health and begin a sweep. With SubLeichi I have to wait till I activate a berry to Sweep, at which point I'm Priority Bait. You say Sky Attack wastes a more slot, but Sub-Leichi doesn't offer any extra coverage moves.

    Clearly I don't understand the SubLeichi set in the first place.

    You come in on something that Hawlucha can force out, then set up a Substitute on the switch (or set up a Substitute on a predicted status move). Swords Dance as the opponent breaks the Substitute, then you use Sub until Liechi Berry activates, and you sweep from there. Eliminate any priority users beforehand to make the most out of this strategy.

    You don't use Sub + pinch berry Pokemon when their counters are around, which is why you have to eliminate those counters before bringing those Pokemon in.

  • Sylveon:
    -Wish
    -Protect
    -Hyper Voice
    -Heal Bell
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers
    Ability: Pixilate
    I can use this as my wish passer. The defensive stats are just better than Clefable... Although, I still think Magic Guard is a cool ability.

    But Hyper Voice means I have to breed in Gen 5 AND wait for Bank. I have a flawless 5IV Togekiss right now.

    If I split the EVs 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 S.Def then Togekiss will have
    -At Lv. 50 ______-At Lv. 100
    -192 Hp _______ -374 Hp
    -145 Def ______ -286 Def
    -150 S.Def ____ -297 S.Def

    Does that look good? The defenses are equal and might be able to take a Stone Edge to the face.

    Togekiss @Leftovers
    Serene Grace
    Calm
    252 Hp / 240 Def / 16 SDef
    -T-wave
    -Roost/ Wish
    -Air Slash
    -Aura Sphere / Dazzling Gleam

    248 HP/8 Def/252 SDef is better. Stick with Roost.
