Need Help making Team
So, I've been trying to make a team based around Mega-Gardevoir, and despite having some success, I generally lose most of the time. So can you guys help me out? Here's the Pokémon I'd like to keep.
Gardevoir @/ Gardevoirite Ability: Trace Nature: Modest EVs: 24Def/ 232 SpA/ 252 Spd Moves: Psyshock, Will-o-Wisp, Hypervoice, Focus Blast Conkledurr @/ Assault Vest Ability: Guts Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 SpD/ 4 Def Moves: Mach Punch, Drain Punch, Ice Punch, Stone Edge Landarous-Therian @/ Focus Sash Ability: Intimidate Nature: Jolly EVs: 252 Spd/ 252 Atk/ 4 Hp Moves: Stealth Rocks, Earthquake, Stone Edge, Knock Off Manaphy @ Leftovers Ability: Hydration Nature: Modest EVs: 252 SpA/ 252 Spd/ 4 Spd Moves: Ice Beam, Scald, Tail Glow, Energy Ball Scolipede @ Leftovers Ability: Speed Boost Nature: Timid EVs: 252 Spe/ 252 Hp/ 4 Def Moves: Swords Dance, Protect, Substitute, Baton Pass Bisharp @/ Life Orb Ability: Defiant Nature: Adamant EVs: 252 Atk/ 252 Def/ 4 Hp Moves: Sucker Punch, Brick Break, Night Slash, Iron Head Any and all help is appreciated. (And thank you for all the other times for helping me out.) |
It'd be nice if you posted the other 4 team members too to have more helpful advice coming from others. Just saying.

It is done. I hope this helps.

Therian Landorus doesn't really need Focus Sash. It can run defensive sets or bulky offensive sets equally well:
-Stealth Rock -Earthquake -U-turn -Stone Edge/Rock Slide/Knock Off Nature: Impish EVs: 252 HP/240 Def/8 SDef/8 Spe Item: Leftovers or -Stealth Rock -Earthquake -U-turn/Explosion -Stone Edge/Smack Down/Knock Off Nature: Adamant/Jolly EVs: 72 HP/252 Atk/184 Spe Item: Soft Sand/Earth Plate/Normal Gem Knock Off > Night Slash on Bisharp. Its utility of removing non-Mega Stone items outweighs the +5 BP that Night Slash has over it. Bisharp also doesn't need Brick Break, as its STABs have good coverage together: -Sucker Punch -Iron Head -Knock Off -Pursuit/Swords Dance Nature: Adamant/Jolly EVs: 4 HP/252 Atk/252 Spe Item: Black Glasses/Dread Plate/Life Orb/Lum Berry Ability: Defiant or -Sucker Punch -Iron Head -Knock Off -Pursuit Nature: Adamant EVs: 192 HP/220 Atk/96 Spe Item: Assault Vest Ability: Defiant Scolipede's EV spread should look like this: 248 HP/20 Def/240 Spe. Its HP has to be odd so that it can switch in to Stealth Rock 4 times and still survive, assuming it doesn't get hit by other attacks. Also, Mental Herb > Black Sludge/Leftovers, as Baton Pass Scolipede is very vulnerable to Taunt. Manaphy doesn't need all that Speed. 160 Speed + Timid allows it to outspeed all neutral-natured base 100s, while 160 Speed + Modest allows it to outspeed Adamant Excadrill. As Manaphy lacks Rain Dance to cure itself of status, Lum Berry or Wacan Berry should be the item to use. |
You may wanna give Scolipede a Mental Herb, so Taunt doesn't completely shut it down.
Alternatively you could give it an attack like Poison Jab or Megahorn, so if you are Taunted and can't baton pass, you can always use those speed and attack boosts yourself. Hope I helped! |
