Thanks a lot, Platinum Dude. You really helped me out.
I've used this team quite a bit. It's alright but definitely not my best team. It works quite well to stall until I have a clean sweep, which suits my play style.
Here is the team now:
Manectric @ Manectite
Ability: Lightningrod
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Overheat
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch
Nothing has changed.
Mandibuzz @ Leftovers
Ability: Overcoat
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 108 SpD / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
- Foul Play
- Roost
- Defog
- Toxic
The spread you suggested definitely helps. Mandibuzz kinda does loose it's footing against Steel and Poison type Pokemon, for me anyway. If anything Mandibuzz is a dead weight that's only here to use Defog. Foul Play doesn't really help since most hard hitting things can outspeed and OHKO/2HKO Mandi. I don't know if I want to keep Mandi here or not.
Dragonite @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 216 HP / 64 Atk / 228 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Claw
- Iron Head
- Extreme Speed
- Roost
This is an interesting spread that I had to get used to, but it works. I needed Iron Head to help counter Fairies, which Dragonite is pretty good at with Multiscale and good bulk. Flinch hax is great too.
Gengar @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 28 Def / 148 SpA / 80 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Taunt
- Sludge Wave
- Will-O-Wisp
Substitues don't fit into my play style at all, at least not with Gengar's role in this team. Gengar counters fairies and generally trolls my opponent, which I like. I need a poison=type move though. I really do.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Heal Bell
- Protect
- Wish
Pretty good stalling, though is very lacking. I would like to see Toxic or something on this set to force a switch of give more value to Clefable here. I guess I could ditch Protect since it's predicted and I don't absolutely need it.
A question though, what would be better for a Wish support set, Magic Guard or Unaware?
Gyarados @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 88 HP / 192 Atk / 4 Def / 224 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Bounce
- Ice Fang
Relying on Dragon Dance is tough but it pays off and really helps. I might replace Bounce with Earthquake, for coverage. Bounce doesn't really work with me either.
I definitely think this team is better, though like I said it's not my best team and OU is not my forte. It works in creating fun, and that's what counts.
Don't use Iron Head on Dragonite. Without it, Dragonite is currently walled by Steel Pokemon. Earthquake is always the better option and Gengar handles Fairies fine anyways.
