Hi guys today I am back with a blog post and really sorry
for the long delay as I was in middle of my final exams, basically the most
important exams of my entire life, but anyways now back with some really fun
teams (that work, just to assure) that I made during these and played w/ in my
fun time this team is based around a lot of things that you see in the title
like foul play, fairy mon, steel types; and most probably you saw the yveltal
and mawile coming without further ado, let’s start this report:
Teambuilding process:
So for the start of my team I needed something new to play,
yveltal is a pokemon that I used earlier this season however to my own
playstyle it didn’t suite very well I required a more bulkier spread, now that’s
to stumbling upon Kyle Cole’s Youtube channel one day I got a assault vest set
that survives xern attacks so bingo why wouldn’t I keep it, a lot of people
were using kyogre + yveltal which I added and then the team building went on a
natural flow from their.
The Team:
Yveltal @ Assault Vest
Ability: Dark Aura
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 4 Def / 44 SpA / 36 SpD / 188 Spe
Modest Nature
- Foul Play
- Dark Pulse
- Oblivion Wing
- Heat Wave
First up the ‘deadly’ yveltal. This is my arch nemesis this
whole season because of it’s ability to overpower a lot of pokemons and also
getting OHKO’d by very little mons in the format, what troubles this pokemon?
Xerneas you say? Lol it can be built to live it’s attacks as well. And also the
ability of aura abilities to stack gets very threatening. Yvetal’s main job is
to threat really both the primal and every other physical attacker. The spread
i chose for this pokemon is the most fundamental one I could have personally
used in the past I had problems with this pokemon’s bulk but with this spread
it’s just fine tuned. The purposes this spread has is to be a special attacker
with abusing foul play, even after modest nature the foul play does a lot of
damage because of the STAB as well as the dark aura boost and the opposing high
powered mons, not to forget my own swagger + foul play tactic. Next benchmarks
that it reaches are also interesting one would be able to outspeed max speed
invested neutral natured base 90’s i.e primal as well as ho-oh which I felt
like was a very solid benchmark; next up the benchmark of bulk which I
absolutely love. It can live a 252 +2 xerneas’ dazzling gleam as a spread
attack which came in handy while facing those primal groudons aside xerneases.
Heat wave was very resourceful and probably one of my only answers to pesky
steel types like ferrothron and scizor even mawile from times to time.
Kyogre-Primal @ Blue Orb
Ability: Primordial Sea
Level: 50
EVs: 244 HP / 52 Def / 180 SpA / 28 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Origin Pulse
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Protect
Next up on the team is primal kyogre, and probably have to
the the primal I like better out of the two because of it’s defense that the
weather provides. Primordial sea is always good to have considering how big is
primal groudon in this format but for this specific crazy team it’s very very
important to have the weather present on the team because it can very well
protect my three steel type pokemons from the wrath of primal groudon. Now for
the moves, water spout is really fun but having water spout it often gets very
invariable to even use that move, especially if kyogre takes any damage I feel
reluctant to use water spout, as the team developed I had gravity on the team
and changed my move back to origin pulse for consistent damage the spread is
simple trick room kyogre spread, however the modest nature would explain if I
was ever to use this pokemon behind a tailwind set-up which I will explain why
I needed.
Mawile-Mega @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 68 Atk / 164 Def / 12 SpD / 12 Spe
Careful Nature
- Play Rough
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
- Protect
Maw Mawile is da best. Mawile from the start of the season
has been my favorite mega pokemon considering how much potential it has in this
format. Beating up yveltal, mega kangaskhan, mega salamence; seriously what’s
more threatening. Now combine that with dark aura and do it with sucker punch
the damage is unforgiving and brutal. Mawile also fitted in with the first two
so well as from one it gets an offensive boost and the other provides it a
defensive boost in a game. There is nothing questionable about my mawile except
for what is this spread for? Honestly this spread can do enough damage to KO
the mons that it already can with 252+ investment, the bulk lets it survive a
water spout from a kyogre after a sucker punch from max health, which is kinda
good since I don’t happen to run groudon to negate the weather here. The rest
was dumped into physical defense for the purpose of using this pokemon better
in a 1v1 against physical attackers. It’s ability was also very essential to
help the yveltal + kyogre combination in terms of bulk.
Bronzong @ Lum Berry
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
EVs: 244 HP / 28 Atk / 116 Def / 116 SpD / 4 Spe
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Gyro Ball
- Trick Room
- Skill Swap
- Gravity
Bronzong is also having one of the coolest spreads in this
team, bronzing was really one my first thoughts for an effective trick room
user in this format but I doubted my own approach to see this pokemon having
potential, now it was popularized to fair mounts by some veterans of this
community, what’s a better time to use it? My favorite fact about bronzing has
to be how well it can do around smeargle + xerneas combination with the help of
lum berry which is the reason that us my item of choice. I feel like with this
investment it can live attacks from a primal groudon as well as live kyogre
full powered attacks, the offensive investment allows this pokemon to 2HKO max
speed xerneas after a geomancy set-up. Other things bronzing can do are pretty
cool too. Gravity allows bronzing to raise accuracy of attacks like origin
pulse and play rough which lets be honest miss whenever you want them to hit
the opponents. Skill swap is generally very good for resetting my own primal
weather. Bronzing is simple but amazing for sure.
Klefki @ Focus Sash
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Crafty Shield
- Thunder Wave
- Swagger
- Safeguard
Klefki should be explained here as a substitution for
thundurus’ doings. All I required from thundurus was the swagger and thunder
wave speed control form which goes really well alongside trick room as seen
before in the form of cresselia + thundurus, but I found my team quite troubled
by encore, taunt and well you know it dark void; what’s the potentially easiest
and best strategy to pull it off/ use klefli the only second pokemon. Swagger
was sort of essential to the team’s strategy in terms of boosting up yveltal’s
foul play power, when I ran protect on it instead of safeguard; adding
safeguard to this pokemon’s moveset, which opens up a whole new chapter,
interesting to this guy and my team’s arsenal which is the safeguard + swagger
combination we have seen from a meowstic = groudon team going around. Klefki
really added the element to the team which I required. My choice of focus sash
felt the best to me as if they are taunting me I can just use crafty shield
with a pokemon like klefki, focus sash makes it hang around much longer in
battles which helps greatly.
Salamence-Mega @ Salamencite
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 44 Atk / 212 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Double-Edge
- Tailwind
- Protect
Last up on this team is the standard deadly mega, salamence;
how could I not go for this clutch mega. The pairing of mega mawile and mega
salience on one team is quite dynamic especially because you can switch between
a lot of different playstyle and team options. One thing more I love about
these to is that you get to have one intimidate user even when not bringing
your other mega. Salamence is very standard here but I should explain tailwind
being essential to the teams’ strategy. During practice I thought that I was
really loosing a lot of mons because my speed was slower than them outside of
trick room there was only one way to fix it and a really awesome way; keeping
tailwind on salamence; it greatly helped out in the matches I was reluctant to
bring klefki.
Conclusion:
So guys this was it for this team of mine hope that you guys
really liked it and are willing to practice with it, bye for now.
