Hey guys, I am entering a tournament with this team on Saturday and I was hoping if I could get some feedback before I do. Please bare in mind that Mega Blaziken and Gengar are legal as well.
Florges (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flower Veil
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SDef / 4 Spd
Calm Nature
- Moonblast
- Toxic ( Replaced Hidden Power [Ground] as toxic works better)
- Wish
- Protect
My special wall on my team. Moonblast is great STAB and could get a special drop for more walling. Toxic is great for damage and Wish and Protect work well together for healing itself and its teamates and stalling for Toxic.
Trevenant @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Harvest
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Horn Leech
- Leech Seed
- Will-O-Wisp
- Protect
Trevenant is a very good leech seed staller and a great wall. It can take a hit, will-o-wisp the target, sitrus berry all the time and leech seed for more health. Horn Leech is just there for a nice attacking move that heals him up when he has the chance to.
Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Parental Bond
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake/Shadow Claw
- Sucker Punch
- Power-Up Punch
- Fake Out
One of the most overpowered megas out there, Kangaskhan wreaks havoc everywhere. Fake Out is there to deal some extra damage and break subs on frail Pokemon. Power-Up Punch grants him a swords dance + damage. Sucker Punch is great priority that hits Aegislash hard and Shadow Claw is good for coverage, but so is Earthquake.
Azumarill @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Play Rough
- Belly Drum (Replaced Waterfall due to space for Bell Drum, still the same coverage)
- Superpower
- Aqua Jet
Now like I said before, Blaziken is legal so it is going to be a problem. Azumarill is the perfect counter for it as Blaziken cannot get ThunderPunch yet. Play Rough and Waterfall are nice STAB moves, Aqua Jet is a great priority move to kill Blaziken and Superpower is there for extra coverage. The Sitrus Berry is there to make Azumarill go to 75% HP after a Belly Drum so it is substantially healthy. 248 HP means an even number so Sitrus Berry will always work
Arcanine @ Life Orb
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Wild Charge
- Extreme Speed
Arcanine is a great asset to my team and does very well. It has nice bulk so it can take a hit and if the opponent switches, Arcanine can put a large dent in almost anything. Flare Blitz is great STAB while Extreme Speed is a great priority +2 move. Close Combat and Wild Charge are good coverage.
Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Sp.A/ 4 Sp.D/ 252 Spd
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Dark Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Flash Cannon
Hydreigon is so underated this generation due to its x4 fairy weakness, but it still does extremely well. Draco Meteor is an amazing STAB attack that dents anything, but can leave you open for set up fodder while you switch. Dark Pulse is a nice STAB too while Fire Blast hits Steels hard and Flash Cannons hit Fairies when I know I can beat them *looks at a Carbink with some damage*.
So that's my team! Feedback plus suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
ALSO: I managed to go X-0 in the rounds of Swiss with this exact build and I was in the top 4 cut. I managed to get to the finals and beat the current champion, so I am now champion at my locals and I got first prize! This team is so good!

PAST POKEMON:
Talonflame @ Life Orb
Ability: Gale Wings
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SDef / 252 Spd
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- U-turn
- Swords Dance
TalonFlame is a very decent Pokemon, but I am not too sure what to make of it. It has great Priority and ok power, but it can be knocked out by itself so easily, with both STAB moves dishing out recoil (but decent damage nonetheless) and the Life Orb taking away 10% HP. U-Turn is there for scouting and Swords Dance is nice to have but I rarely use it.
Replaced due to the fact that I had no spinner and I could not find a space for one
Goodra @ Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SAtk / 4 Spd
Modest Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam
- Sludge Bomb
My special tank of the team. Goodra takes special moves like a boss and wipes them out with its great special attack! Dragon Pulse is a great STAB move and Fire Blast is great for coverage. Ice Beam is there for more coverage and Sludge Bomb can dish out damage to fairies when they switch.
Replaced due to the fact that it was not doing well at all and I did not need Florges and Goodra, Florges is doing better.
