Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Lum Berry
Ability: Prism Armor
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 140 Def / 116 Spe
Impish Nature
- Rock Slide
- Psychic Fangs
- Sunsteel Strike
- Dragon Dance
Necrozma was put in because it's the best legend to go w/ Xerneas(who is weak to Zacian.) I forget why I felt I needed Xerneas itself, except that it is about the strongest Yveltal answer(Centiskorch is weak to birds,) Speaking of birds, Necrozma has Rock Slide over EQ for them. Psychic Fangs helps me beat Eternatus, and break possible screens that go w/ that. Otherwise regular DD, w/ physical bulk not offense or much Spe. That's for Zacian per a suggestion. Changed the EVs to max HP and 140 Def, for presumably optimal bulk. This and Centiskorch tend to make me strong vs, Zacian. Lum for sleep shenanigans mainly. Burns and para too-I find WP predictable.
Gastrodon @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Recover
- Mirror Coat
- Earth Power
Leftovers for a fat mon, I don't really like Sitrus unless the Lefties are taken or it's Drifblim. I mostly need this for Ogre. Usual moves and EVs. I did breed for Mirror Coat but forgot to do so for Yawn. Replaced Memento to hit Heatran and be even stronger vs, Zacian. This has 3-0d at least 1 person. Main consideration is does it need Counter, and if so where do I put ground coverage?
Centiskorch-Gmax @ Custap Berry
Ability: Flame Body
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Power Whip
- Mystical Fire
- Endure
- Will-O-Wisp
This is good vs. Zacian, especially w/ the EVs. Power Whip is the only move kept from the old set, I need to hit 4x weaks like Swampert. Mystical Fire is chosen as STAB to complement burns and utilize G-max. Centiskorch's SpA is fine. Endure+Custap is common enough on a variety of things, here it is to stall for burn, stall Dynamax a bit, or to get off a last Wisp/Mystical Fire. Considering Scorching Sands over Wisp(though Wisp is much better for Rilla.) I have a good chance to burn just through an attack w/ 30%, and 30% contact ability. May not need Wisp itself, and I'd be able to hit Heatran. My best mon by far for Quagsire. This has done quite well, I really like Custap, though I forget how it works sometimes(in a pinch, not specifically at 1 HP.)
Zapdos @ Kee Berry
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Heat Wave
- Eerie Impulse
- Hurricane
- Roost
Went back to Eerie Impulse. Reshiram is always trouble, this helps w/ that. It's also my favorite Zapdos set. Usual EVs for it, I think, Kee gives a chance on the physical side, though I'd just as soon go Maranga if anyone vouched for it. Pressure is more useful on the defensive set, plus I lack an Ability Patch. Heat Wave over Discharge is new, to hit Ferro. Ferro is very bad for my legends and was only being hit by Centiskorch before.
Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
- Moonblast
- Draining Kiss
- Thunderbolt
- Geomancy
Finally got this in a trade, I don't think the needless 31 Atk IV is too big of a deal. EVs for Scarf Darm-g boosted, qmax SpA, and the rest in bulk w/ better odds vs. offensive Eternatus Sludge Wave than 244 HP/0 SpD. Draining Kiss was suggested to me over Focus Blast. There is a downside, but it can be a better way to break subs like w/ SubSeed Whimsicott. T-bolt for some coverage and Ho-oh in particular. I feel strong vs. Zacian so this mon seems to fit well.
Mimikyu @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Disguise
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Shadow Claw
- Will-O-Wisp
- Trick
- Wood Hammer
Kinda a weird set, but it was suggested to me as well, mainly for Caly-S. They aren't nice to my legend pair either. This can cripple Zacian as well as walls, and hits 4x grass weaks very hard. Doesn't need to be bulky for what I'm using it for, and it needs the Spe for Caly-S. Unsure why I was told Shadow Claw not Phantom Force, but I'm sure it's fine either way.
So far doing well(#3,213.) Thinking I'll stick w/ this team for a while. As I posted in the Team Bazaar thread, I'm not really looking for ideas for big changes. Just input on items/moves.
EDIT: Changed my team lol. Probably will again soon. Using Seismitoad over Gastrodon and Mimikyu's slot is variable.
