Moltres @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 88 HP / 168 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Flamethrower
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Roost
Moltres can easily handle Exca with flamethrower but even if it cant flame body can burn leaving exca useless at that point.
Ferrothorn makes a great partner as it resists all that torn may struggle with while providing hazard support and torn can pivot causing ferro to come out and seed and eat hits for it.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Def / 152 SpD
Careful Nature
- Leech...
Aegislash, Blissey, Ferro
All these can completely counter xerneas. Ferro using gyro ball OHKO's if not hit by focus blast. Blissey stalls it with toxic and softboil. Aegislash OHKO's with flash cannon or iron head.

This core is great for def but also attacking. Porygon is amazing for defense while blissey is as well. They will wear down everything else allowing lop to come in and sweep.

Just a quick beginner team I made, did a few battles with it in the 1600-1700s. So if u would like to try it out here ya go.
Main threat to watch for would be magnezone because corv is needed to continue and handle kyurem's better and read them better as well.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 108 Def / 152 Spe
Impish Nature
- U-turn
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
I enjoy using this lando spread. It allows me to outspeed normal landos using the smogon set, while also still allowing me eat hits...
This core for a sun team is by far my favorite and one of if not the best core. Excadrill handles Rock, and Electric which Char-Y struggles with while also allowing rocks to go up for char-y to be able to sweep better due to the chip damage. But not only that Exca has rapid spin which gets rids...
