Battle Tree team options

[Headphonix]

So I've done quite a few runs into the Battle Tree now...

My best team reached 37th battle and the members were:

Kommo-o @ Life Orb
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Claw
- Sky Uppercut
- Earthquake

Toxapex @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Merciless (Trying to have one with Regenerator, but I'm procrastinating a lot >.>)
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Recover
- Baneful Bunker
- Toxic

Metagross @ Metagrossite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Zen Headbutt
- Meteor Mash
- Hammer Arm

My second best reached 19th (yeah, not so good compared to my best team but still...) and the members were:

Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 HP/ 4 Def/ 252 SpD
Calm Nature
- Moonlight
- Wish
- Payback
- Toxic

Yeah, I know Umbreon is not that OP, but it's my favorite Pokemon so I tried to fit it somewhere. x)

Swords Dance
Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Shadow Claw
- Facade

It was a nice help to Umbreon. Switching when there was a fighting type or just finishing Umbreons job by using facade on a poisoned target.

Lucario @ Lucarionite
Ability: Inner Focus (Don't have a justified one)
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

Any team you recommend with this Pokemon? Or if you guys think I should get more competitive Pokemon please let me know which ones, I'm really out of ideas here. x.x

Thanks in advance and sorry the long post!

 

[tenchi]

for starters u want aqua jet on golisopod. Crobat's setup doesnt appeal to me either.

 

[Headphonix]

Aqua Jet instead of Liquidation?
Yeah for Crobat I'll breed one with Brave Bird but even so I think Crobat its not an option for battle tree

 

[SirBoglor]

From what I've researched about battle tree teams, there are certain Pokemmon that especially shine.

Tapu Koko/Tapu Lele- due to high speed and one-shot potential.
Komala- since comatose ignores most stall bs that the AI likes to use.
Toxapex- for obvious tanking reasons.
Garchomp- high speed and one shots many pokemon (Just like Tapu Koko)
Weavile- great at tankbusting and super-effective KOs
Mega-Salamence/Mega Metagross (Need a lot of BP first, so not the best when you first start grinding)
Mimikyu-Disguise swords sance setup is wonderful.
Aegislash-Swords Dance+Shadow Sneak is A+

So just think OU hard meta, and you'll do fine.

P.S. Sylveon can't get Hyper Voice unless it's from 6th gen, so you'll have to wait until Poke-Bank updates for that.

 

[Headphonix]

yeah I have almost every Pokemon on that list, but my record is still on 37th battle.
I'll try to get Weaville now, now that you've mentioned it, it seems like a pretty good option, I have one on my ORAS and he was a nice lead Pokemon.
Thank you!

Sure, I actually just finished getting a moon ball competitive Weaville yesterday. The only downside with using one right now is that Knock Off on Weaville is ORAS exclusive, so you'll have to wait until Pokebank updates or use throat chop instead (like what I did.)

Anyways, want me to breed you down one? It has EMs Fake Out, Icicle Crash, and Throat Chop. Plus, passing the IVs down would be super easy for me.

Oh! I'm close to have a competitive Sneasel now, but thanks for the offer. Didn't know about the Knock Off part... Really those guys shouldn't downgrade from one game to another... Unfortunatly money run this type of things. I'll use your sugestion until Bank updates, thank you!

Sure, that's fine. One last thing to note: getting a razor claw for evolving Sneasel is as painful as it could possibly get in this game. You have to get a Jangmo-o to spawn, (5% Chance in Vast Poni Canyon) Then start an S.O.S. battle and spam Thief on each Hakamo-o that spawns (5% chance to be holding one.) If you get a Kommo-o to spawn, the chance is 50% (but the odds of one spawning are really low.) If that's not annoying enough, the razor claw required to evolve Sneasel is consumed once you evolve one. Extremely annoying.

God that seems boring! I will use my Butterfree with Compound Eyes to help on that. Thanks for warning me.
