Regieleki @ Life Orb
Ability: Transistor
Level: 50
EVs: 172 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 12 SpD / 68 Spe
Timid Nature
- Explosion
- Thunder Wave
- Volt Switch
- Electro Ball
Back and forth between this and Zapdos, though this is highly preferred. I've spent a bit of time on EV spreads. I took 1 point from Spe because it was only tying boosted Scolipede, not beating it. This outspeeds positive +1 100s, which is to me all it needs. Max SpA EVs for sure, and an extra point in SpD for p2. 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, Grimmsnarl, the odd Pincchurchin, and heaps of paralyzed stuff. Torkoal hasn't been brought the times I brought Lieki, but I've seen it a bit. 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. But I did outspeed and ko a +1 Zapdos.) LO per a suggestion that I need the power in max, and sometimes to change moves. The HP loss is somewhat trivial on a frail mon, though it does run some bulk(So should it be Magnet? I'm already missing some kos.)) My favorite for sure, my 1st act in picking a team is to check what's weak to this. Also 2hkos non-max TTar and Blissey maxed itself, if terrain is already up. The bulk is really great, I took airstream into overgrowth from Kartana(maxed ofc,) and 2 hits of LO, w/ 1 HP left. Lives max Resonance, idk if it was max SpA though. Survived +1 Max Flare from Volcarona after 1 LO recoil. Lived Blade after LO. Could run more bulk, seeing as I lost the max war to a mirror(Strike into boosted Lightning,) and didn't take Blade into Quick Attack from Zacian. Still pretty much my favorite,. Thunder Wave was suggested, and I put it over T-bolt. Often I have to switch out w/ Volt Switch to 2hko while not fearing an ohko, and Electro Ball has the same max power. Also Electro ball is potentially even more useful w/ T-Wave. T-Wave is mainly there so Dracovish can be faster than more opponent's than normal. Max Guard has been great to have, mainly on +2 Spe Zapdos. Faqirly useful for Necrozma-Dusk Mane. Trying Explosion over Assurance to sacrifice Leki on grounds for a free switch. Open to other suggestions. Also considering scarf w/ 1 more Spe point, this outspeeds stuff like +2 Ace, 100s, and Caly-S scarfed. As well as most everything.
Dialga @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Ice Beam
- Roar of Time
I like Body Press Dialga the best of its sets. This handles P2, and most anything physical after boost(s.) Also not weak to Blissey's moves like Zong, so it can clean it. Regular EVs, Lefties here over Zong cause it's bulkier. Ice Beam for Landog mainly, Roar of Time was suggested over Draco Meteor and I agree so far. I actually won one where Dialga was tricked a Scarf, cause I had free time for the recharge turn. Pretty good mon, I worry about Landog and more to the point Groudon.
Ho-Oh @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Careful Nature
- Sacred Fire
- Giga Drain
- Brave Bird
- Earthquake
Luckily found someone to trade me an Ability Patch. 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, though I haven't used Regenerator that often.
Bronzong @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Body Press
- Iron Defense
- Hypnosis
- Gyro Ball
I wanted to try this and I haven't exactly been disappointed, though there's struggle w/ darks, ghosts, and fire(apparently Diggersby gets Max Flare...) Bronzong is pretty good vs. Necrozma Dusk-Mane, Zacian, Calyrex-I, and Landorus-T, to name a few. Block is odd, so I finally replaced it w/ Hypnosis. Gyro Ball mainly hurts Xerneas. This can also be helpful vs. Zekrom, which I do not like. Sitrus cause lefties are taken, would a pinch berry be best in this case? Zong often gets chipped only slowly, so it should reach that range if they're physical. And if they're special it will likely not get a benefit from any healing.
Dracovish @ Choice Band
Ability: Strong Jaw
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fishious Rend
- Outrage
- Crunch
- Psychic Fangs
I put this in cause of a suggestion, and moreover the Seismitaod match up. I like CB a lot, I do have t-wave. Usual 1st 2 moves and EVs, Crunch is for Caly-S(Zong hates it,) and idk Psychic Fangs. But the 4th move on my least used mon hardly matters. I'm not sure I've even brought this yet, but I do have it.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 116 HP / 60 Atk / 4 Def / 76 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Fly
- Stone Edge
- Swords Dance
My old Landog. This used to be WP for an item, but Lum should be OK for Hippo. This lives a bunch of stuff I list in some of my earlier RMT(s.) Max Spe for base 90s, I forget what specifically but I remember it's important. Normal enough moves, Stone Edge over Rock Tomb to sometimes do enough to Zapdos. Ho-oh too, Stone Edge will do a lot even if burn happens. Main consideration is should it be a little more SpD for the P2 Download boost to be wrong? It's close to that, but what should I take from? Swords Dance is fairly commonly used, for example on a mirror switch-in, which is common. Intimidate is very helpful, sometimes that's all this is for.
So there's that. I lose a lot. I remember losing to an Entei recently. Um, mostly I forget pretty quick what I'm weak to tbh. But I know there's lots of improvement, and that I can keep Zong and still do good.
EDIT: Made Leki scarf, this also buffs electro ball
