Bronzong @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Body Press
- Gyro Ball
- Hypnosis
- Iron Defense
I've been using this for a while, and I haven't been disappointed, though there's struggle w/ darks, ghosts, and fire(apparently Diggersby gets Max Flare...) Bronzong is pretty good vs. Necrozma Dusk-Mane, P2, some zacian, Calyrex-I,, defensive Seismitoad, and Landorus-T, to name a few. It is the most likely mon to shut down a whole team itself, though this is rare for any 1 thing ofc. Hypnosis is often good, prevents special mons from always switching in for free...Gyro Ball mainly hurts Xerneas. Lefties are free, so they are of course the item. While it misses a lot, I have had a somewhat positive experience w/ Hypnosis(also bad is 1 turn sleeps, but overall.) There just isn't always a better move to use, like vs. Hippo. Walls non-dark move Grimm(or just Sucker Punch. I don't think they run Darkest Lariat for the def boost bypass.)
Ho-Oh @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Careful Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Giga Drain
- Brave Bird
- Earthquake
EVs live Adamant Wild Chage from Zacian, and avoid the 2hko from LO Caly-S Psyshock, w/ an even(and very high) SpD number. This took 40 damage from Kyruem-W Max Phantasm(no idea why they did that though, w/o max Rockfall.) Usual moves for AV I think, hitting waters is crucial(esp. 4x weak ones.) This has been one of the better mons generally. I really like the bulk more than an offensive Ho-oh.
Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
- Focus Blast
- Thunderbolt
- Geomancy
- Moonblast
Focus Blast is good for P2, blobs, and Ferro. Aslo Heatran and Dialga. T-bolt hits Ho-oh mainly. This is partly chosen for Zygarde, also I used to be a lot higher w/ a team w/ this on it.
Regieleki @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Transistor
Level: 50
EVs: 172 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 12 SpD / 68 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Electro Ball
- Volt Switch
- Thunder Wave
My favorite for this gen, on here as usual. I've spent a bit of time on EV spreads, max SpA EVs for sure, and an extra point in SpD for p2. Spe for up to +2 Ace. Electro Ball is ok for P2, and good for a few other slow mons like Ferro(major, even through resist,) Magnezone(kod max from low HP, T-bolt would likely have failed to do so,) Slowking-g, Slowbro, some Eeveelutions, Scizor, Pyukumuku(you win anyway, but it won't live to Toxic, same w/ Pex,) Stakataka, Lapras(maybe the biggest target, even literally,) Corsola-g, TTar, Snorlax, Grimmsnarl, Caly-I, the odd Pincchurchin, and heaps of paralyzed stuff. Even tern has to be wary if it's parad and unboosted iirc. Torkoal is rare to negligible, but that too. Electro Ball has been very fun and Regieleki is great for Pex, though I'm a bit prepared for that besides(I can't remember the last time I faced a Pex w/ Leki.) My 1st act in picking a team is to check what's weak to this. The bulk is really great, though it isn't for anything particular that I recall. Does live cb DNitr E-speed. T-Wave is mainly there for Tern and Dialga. Max Guard has been great to have, mainly to end their max. Fairly useful for Necrozma-Dusk Mane. Using T-bolt again because I went scarf(this has real merit even w/ the best base Spe stat, for Airstreamers such as Zapdos or Ace, and Scarf Caly-S.) Locking into another move isn't always strong enough. Volt Switch into a sacrifice, then coming back to t-bolt, can ko some Zacian.
Klefki @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 52 SpA / 204 SpD
Bold Nature
- Metal Sound
- Thunder Wave
- Draining Kiss
- Spikes
I put this on recently, but I forget why. Pretty disruptive just w/ T-Wave, Metal Sound can help a special attacker, or even this itself. 52 SPA to break no bulk Whimsicott's sub, while healing to offset the leech. Spikes seemed ok at the time, I think I tend to worry more over grounded things, and sometimes you get free set-up opportunities. I'm still trying to figure it out, open to suggestions.

- Recover
- Mirror Coat

- Ice Beam
Put this back for Ogre, over Mamoswine who was for Zygarde partially. Ice Beam to still be relevant vs. Zygarde, at the expense of Earth Power. Only experience w/ this died cause I had wrong berry and caused confusion lol. It's hard to remember which berries are ok.
