Finally beat Pokemon League on default minimal grinding mode after failing with several different teams. Ended up tryharding a bit with this team after trying out with weaker teams I used throughout the game.
Charizard-Mega-Y @ Charizardite Y
Charizard-Mega-Y has huge upfront special power attacks and very good coverage. Lorelei's rain team was destroyed by Charizard-Mega-Y (except for Primal Kyogre).
Ability: Drought
Timid Nature
- Solar Beam
- Focus Blast
- Flamethrower
- Roost
Chandelure @ Choice Specs
Chandelure can trap enemies and force them out via U-Turn and hit the switch-in stupidly hard with Choice Spec'ed Flamethrowers. Ghost typing is very useful for switching into Close Combat's which are numerous in the Pokemon League.
Ability: Shadow Tag
Modest Nature
- Flamethrower
- Will-O-Wisp
- Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind
Chansey @ Eviolite
Chansey is an unbreakable special wall used for tanking and setting up Stealth Rock and Toxic. Seismic Toss is used for additional chipping damage. Natural Cure is mandatory if Chansey is hit by Toxic.
Ability: Natural Cure
Bold Nature
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Dragonite was used as the only setup sweeper in the team. Dragon Dance + Multiscale is a deadly and beefy combo.
Ability: Multiscale
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Dual Wingbeat
- Earthquake
Wailord @ Leftovers
Wailord is the MVP of the team and has been on every iteration of the team. It is one tanky motherpsyducker able to deal with many different threats. It tanks special attacks for days with Amnesia, and physical attacks are tanked with help from Multiscale. As an example, Zacian-C at +3 attack Close Combat only damages down to 1/2 HP if at full health. Bouncy Bubble and Leftovers let's you abuse Multiscale. Get one of these if you are struggling on anything.
Ability: Multiscale
Calm Nature
- Water Spout
- BouncyBubble
- Ice Beam
- Amnesia
Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Skarmory sets up Spikes and tanks physical hits using Sturdy, Rocky Helmet and Roost.
Ability: Sturdy
Impish Nature
- Whirlwind
- Body Press
- Roost
- Spikes

Primeape with Gorilla Tactics and Choice Band/Scarf.
Ampharos/Mega Ampharos.
Mega Venusaur.
Shiftry with better stats than vanilla.
