Reserving M-Sharpedo + Keldeo + Volcanion

Volcanion @ Choice Specs
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
- Steam Eruption
- Fire Blast
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power

Sharpedo @ Sharpedonite
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature / Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Crunch
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang

Keldeo-Resolute @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Icy Wind
- Scald
- Secret Sword


This is a solid offensive Water core, but it definitely need a hasard remover to work well.

It's simple : Scarfed Keldeo outspeed and OKHO anything with Secret Sword or Hydro Pump, only Staraptor don't get OKHO by Secret Sword if rocks aren't setup. Volcanion Specs has no safe switch and can deal with Staraptor or Lopunny if Keldeo is down, he also check Ditto with Earth Power but needs some predicts. Finally M-Pedo(shark) is the cleaner of the core, adamant is better but you can play jolly if you want outspeed Staraptor Scarf at +1 mega evolved.

Being as this is simply put a Sticky Web HO Normal team, what better way to abuse the circumstances than to use a Trick Room team? With Sticky Web only helping our cause in the end? With such a strategy, and no walls to eat up the nasty hits Mono Fairy Pokemon can dish out, it is quite easy to win the match up. Mono Fairy is used over Mono Psychic because fuck Psychic Fairy deserves some love, and is cooler than Psychic :P The mons are presented below:


Diancie @ Mental Herb
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Trick Room
- Diamond Storm
- Explosion


Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
- Superpower
- Aqua Jet


Gardevoir @ Gardevoirite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Hyper Voice
- Focus Blast
- Trick Room
- Psyshock/Healing Wish

These three Pokemon(along with Aromatisse) are all that's needed to do some major damage to this HO Normal team. Not only does the wallbreaking potential of Mega Gardevoir and Azumarill decimate the Normal Team by OHKOing pretty much every member bar Ditto, who is slower in Trick Room due to Choice Scarf, but Diancie doesn't have much issues when paired with Aromatisse to set up Trick Room, as Dark Void be easily wasted on a sleep fodder Pokemon, allowing TR to be inevitably set up. Relying on priority from Mega Lopunny and Diggersby to even damage these mons, the sacks the opponent will have to make to even KO one of these wallbreakers will end up leaving Azumarill to clean up what MGardevoir couldn't finish. The only potential threats this core will have against the opposing HO Normal is flawless plays with Smeargle and MLopunny. That's it. If TR can be prevented (Which is almost impossible to prevent), then Diggersby, ScarfRaptor and Specs Porygon-Z can put in massive work. Otherwise, MGardevoir will show its wrath. Calcs will be presented below, view at your own risk:

Mega Gardevoir:

252+SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Staraptor: 379-447 (121.8 - 143.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Diggersby: 312-367 (100.3 - 118%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Porygon-Z: 316-373 (101.6 - 119.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Pixilate Mega Gardevoir Hyper Voice vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Mega Gardevoir: 195-229 (65 - 76.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Ditto)
252 Atk Life Orb Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Mega Gardevoir: 142-168 (41.8 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 Atk Mega Lopunny Fake Out vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Mega Gardevoir: 96-114 (28.3 - 33.6%) -- 0.2% chance to 3HKO
Azumarill:

252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Staraptor: 318-375 (102.2 - 120.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Diggersby: 331-390 (106.4 - 125.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Waterfall vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Porygon-Z: 319-376 (102.5 - 120.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Huge Power Azumarill Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Azumarill: 322-381 (107.3 - 127%) -- guaranteed OHKO (Ditto)
252 Atk Life Orb Huge Power Diggersby Quick Attack vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Azumarill: 121-142 (30 - 35.2%) -- 17.6% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Mega Lopunny Fake Out vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Azumarill: 81-96 (20 - 23.8%) -- guaranteed 5HKO
Diancie:

252 SpA Choice Specs Porygon-Z Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Diancie: 107-126 (35.3 - 41.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252 Atk Staraptor Close Combat vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Diancie: 87-103 (28.7 - 33.9%) -- 0.9% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Mega Lopunny High Jump Kick vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Diancie: 153-181 (50.4 - 59.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Everything is OHKOd by Explosion bar Ditto's version of Diancie and Diggersby (93.8% chance to be OHKOd)
I don't think anything else can be said, rather than this style of play will be the bane of this team' existence.

Banned deucer.

Diancie-Mega @ Diancite
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Protect
- Diamond Storm
- Moonblast
- Hidden Power [Fire]


Togekiss @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Air Slash
- Aura Sphere
- Fire Blast
- Trick / Heal Bell / Defog


Klefki @ Light Clay
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Thunder Wave
- Spikes / Foul Play

These three work really well in beating the team as Mega Diancie shuts down Smeargle and is faster than 4 out of the 6 Pokemon on the team. Paired with Klefki's screen support, hazard stacking and Thunder Wave it can easily put itself in a position to sweep. Togekiss behind screens can also sweep with Air Slash as it 2HKOs everything (it's a favorable roll on Diggersby) and has a high chance to flinch.

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD

- Toxic

Chansey @ Eviolite

Ditto @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Transform

Ditto pretty much just sweeps once it copies lop, since the speed drop is negated by Imposter, but if you really need to, Chansey and P2 wall everything except lop.

sorry its not a big description, on phone but here goes nothing:

Espeon is basically to not allow smeargle to put hazards on the field, taunt, or give it any status. Gallade is basically to sweep his team once staraptor is gone, which leaves Jirachi to help out with staraptor since it basically eats brave bird + close combat, aswell gives gallade healing wish support. Btw nice team Wanka
