    • First of all, I want to say that my English is a bit broken, so I'm sorry if I don't express correctly.

    One of my favorite pokémon has always been Mismagius and I've been using it for years at OU and it's the Tier I've played most.
    But I was thinking about how my favorite pokemon works in his tier, so I made a team that I just improvised on the fly for this tier and I would like the people who play in the NU to give me advice to improve the team. I'm willing to change the team, even if are drastic changes, except for Mismagius, she can't go under any circumstances, but maybe I can change the moveset.
    At the moment I have a 5W1L streak with this team and unfortunately I just kept this replay, maybe as I play I'll save a couple more if I remember.

    Here is a pokepaste link of the team.

    And here is the link to one replay. (when I play more I'll edit the post and put them here)

    I'd say you're doing pretty well; keep it up!

    Venefy (Mismagius) (F) @ Ghostium Z

    - Dazzling Gleam
    - Energy Ball

    You could consider substituting Dazzling Gleam for Power Gem for more super effective coverage.

    Druddigon (M) @ Assault Vest
    Ability: Rough Skin
    EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Def / 84 SpD
    Adamant Nature
    - Outrage
    - Gunk Shot
    - Sucker Punch

    I'm guessing you're investing EVs in DEF to help utilize Rough Skin?

    Whimsicott (F) @ Choice Specs
    Ability: Infiltrator
    EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
    Timid Nature
    - Moonblast
    - Energy Ball
    - Psychic
    - U-turn

    You're sure you don't want to run Prankster support, considering you have plenty of attackers. Tailwind, for example, can support Mismagius' (assuming she's your core Pokemon) & overall team sweeping capability.

    Klinklang @ Iron Plate
    Ability: Clear Body
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD

    Are the HP & SpD EVs there to help deal with super effective Fire attacks whilst using Magnet Rise?

    Vaporeon (F) @ Leftovers
    Ability: Water Absorb
    EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
    Bold Nature
    IVs: 0 Atk

    Looks good to me!

    Vikavolt (M) @ Life Orb
    Ability: Levitate

    IVs: 0 Atk
    - Thunderbolt
    - Bug Buzz

    Why the EVs in SpD?

    I am going to guess you're using 0 ATK IVs to minimize Foul Play damage?

    tbh, I only took the remaining 256 EVs and divided them between HP, Def and SpD lol

    exactly, or to use Shift Gear, whichever is more convenient


    Looks good to me!

    the evs are an error that I forgot to correct, the correct thing is 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
    and the IVs is for Foul Play, yes

    Thank you very much for your comment and suggestions, really <3

    In my opinion if you are going for life orb Vikavolt, you might want a faster spread and agility. Otherwise, I'd suggest a choice specs set (assuming you won't use specs Whimsicott as the previous poster suggested). Here's a set that's found on smogon:

    Vikavolt @ Choice Specs
    Ability: Levitate
    EVs: 176 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 76 Spe
    Modest Nature
    - Thunderbolt
    - Bug Buzz
    - Volt Switch
    - Energy Ball

    Additionally, I think Mismagius could utilize Dazzling Gleam, but I agree that Power Gem might be a better option. I'd also replace Energy Ball with a supporting move such as Taunt, Will-o-Wisp, or Substitute. Energy Ball currently doesn't add much for Mismagius's set.

    Finally, I love bulky Druddigon, but I find Assault Vest restricts Druddigon's extensive capabilities. It's a great fire-type check, but I think it could be that without Assault Vest. Utilizing leftovers and Stealth Rock with Mold Breaker would help with hazards to aid your Mismagius in its Nasty Plot sweep. Another set I use that is from smogon:

    Druddigon @ Leftovers
    Ability: Mold Breaker
    EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
    Impish Nature
    - Stealth Rock
    - Glare
    - Dragon Tail
    - Earthquake

    Mold Breaker is nice to set up rocks against Xatu, as well as hit any Levitate Pokemon with EQ.

    Hopefully, this was helpful! I do like your team!
