This team is a Balance team which aims to set up hazards as quickly as possible, then start sweeping as soon as possible.
Deoxys-D (FOXDIE)
-Spikes
-Stealth Rocks
-Thunder Wave
-Psycho Boost
Item Attached: Red Card
Ability: Presure
EVs and Nature:
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Serious Nature
FOXDIE is my suicide setter. Its goal is to paralyze the opponent and set up hazards. Spikes and Stealth Rocks for hazard damage, Thunder wave to slow down opposing pokemon, and Taunt to prevent being taunted. Red Card can force out a threatening sweeper and paralyze multiple pokemon. EVs in HP to give it enough bulk to take some hits and EVs in Speed to paralyze slower pokemon before they get forced out by Red Card. Serious Nature because I couldn't control the nature.
Excadrill M (Hoteye)
-Rapid Spin
-Rock Slide
-Earthquake
-Iron Head
Item Attached: Assault Vest
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs and Nature:
EVs: 120 HP / 136 Atk / 252 Sp.Def
Adamant Nature
Hoteye is my Rapid Spinner. Rapid Spin is the main focus of this set, removing any hazards, most notably Stealth Rocks, as would remove 50% of Kagutsuchi's HP and break PsychoMantis' Focus Sash. Rock Slide serves as coverage and to hit Charizard, Iron Head is used to hit Fairies. Earthquake functions as Hoteye's main STAB. With Assault Vest, he can take Special Attacks surprisingly well. The EVs in HP and Sp.Def increase his Special bulk and let Hoteye work as a Special wall of sorts. The rest of the EVs go into Attack to allow to hit with some actual force behind his attacks. Adamant Nature to reduce the amount of EVs needed to boost Attack.
Talonflame F (Kagutsuchi)
-Swords Dance
-Roost
-Brave Bird
-Flare Blitz
Item Attached: Sky Plate
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs and Nature:
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
Kagutsuchi is the first half of my Swords Dance core and cover Wrath's type disadvantages. Swords Dance to Boost Attack. Roost to heal off Stealth Rocks and recoil damage. Brave Bird and Flare Blitz for STAB. EVs to give her some bulk and work off of Gale Wings.
Gengar M (PsychoMantis)
-Destiny Bond
-Thunderbolt
-Sludge Bomb
-Shadow Ball
Item Attached: Focus Sash
Ability: Levitate
EVs and Nature:
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
Psycho Mantis is my Aegislash counter and overall disruptive pokemon. Destiny Bond is the main focus of this set. It takes down opposing threats and can take out one more pokemon before he is KO'ed. Thunderbolt for coverage, Sludge Wave to take out Fairies and Shadow Ball for STAB. Focus Sash is to take Aegislash's Shadow Sneak and KO it with Shadow Ball. Focus Sash also helps set up Destiny Bond. Typical EVs to maximize offensive power.
Greninja M (Shinso)
-U-Turn
-Ice Beam
-Dark Pulse
-Surf
Item Attached: Life Orb
Ability: Protean
EVs and Nature:
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 Sp.Atk / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
Shinso serves as the revenge killer and scout. U-turn is invaluable, allowing Shinso to pivot to a wall or create an opening for a sweeper. Ice Beam, Dark Pulse, and Surf are all for coverage and each get STAB from Protean. Life Orb to boost damage output. EVs to maximize offensive pressure.
Mawile F (Wrath)
-Swords Dance
-Ice Punch
-Sucker Punch
-Iron Head
Item Attached: Mawilite
Ability: Sheer Force --> Huge Power
EVs and Nature:
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
Wrath is the main focus of my team and as my Mega. Swords Dance, on top of Huge Power, quadtruples her Attack. Ice Punch allows Wrath to take down Landorus and Gliscor. Sucker Punch gives Wrath some form of priority. Iron Head is Wrath's STAB and takes out opposing Fairies. Mawilite is used to Mega Evolve Wrath. EVs in HP to take advantage of Wrath's bulk and EVs in Attack to boost Wrath's already ridiculous Attack. Sheer Force is there because this pokemon was transferred from PokeBank and because I'm too lazy to IV breed another one for the ability.
That's it! This is my first RMT so any constructive criticism would be helpful.
