Team details:​

[3D='gallade']​

Gallade (M) @ Galladite​

Ability: Steadfast​

EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe​

Jolly Nature​

- Swords Dance​

- Drain Punch​

- Zen Headbutt​

- Knock Off​

​

I recently got a shiny male Ralts, so I wanted to make use of it; though, while it's the center of this team, Heatran seems to do most of the work. The point of this set is to cause as much damage and chaos as possible. With a 110 base speed after Mega Evolution paired with a Swords Dance boost, this thing can rip apart teams. I'm open to changing the set, so feel free to make any suggestions.​

​

[3D='scizor']​

Scizor @ Choice Band​

Ability: Technician
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Superpower

Replacing Porygon-Z is Scizor. I needed priority, so a Choice Band Scizor was a perfect choice. Not only does it give my team priority, but it 2HKOs Slowbro-M, which would otherwise give my team problems. There's not too much to be said about this one.​

​

​

[3D='greninja']​

Greninja @ Life Orb​

Ability: Protean​

EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe​

Naive Nature​

- Gunk Shot​

- Hydro Pump​

- Ice Beam​

- U-turn​

Greninja is here to apply heavy offensive pressure on the opposing team. With Gunk Shot missing all the damn time OHKOing many of the fairy types that oppose it, Greninja has become very useful at breaking down opponents. Hydro Pump is there as a solid damage dealer, Ice Beam is for dragons and grass types, and U-Turn is to provide my team some much appreciated momentum.​

​

[3D='clefable']​

Clefable (F) @ Leftovers​

Ability: Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonlight
- Calm Mind
- Moonblast
- Flamethrower

My team had an enormous weakness to Charizard-X, which, while uncommon, would absolutely demolish my team if used by a good player. Clefable has always been a solid staple on all of my teams, so I threw it on to stop Charizard-X. It also helps protect me from being swept due to unaware.

​

[3D='heatran']​

Heatran @ Leftovers​

Ability: Flash Fire​

EVs: 244 HP / 36 SpA / 12 SpD / 216 Spe​

Calm Nature​

- Torment​

- Substitute​

- Protect​

- Lava Plume​

Heatran is this team's MVP. Bringing back this marvelous set from 4th gen was one of my best decisions. Due to many players who aren't used to mind games, this set has wreaked havoc. It provides me with many openings for switching, countless scouting opportunities, puts stress on the opponent, and gives this team some very nice stability.​

​

[3D='rotom-wash']​

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers​

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
Rotom-Wash greatly benefits this team, opening up a volt-turn combo with Scizor and providing Gallade and Clefable many set up opportunities through Will-O-Wisp. Pain Split gives it more staying power, while Hydro Pump provides coverage and raw power.

Weaknesses:​

This team is particularly weak to special electric attackers and other Greninja. Opposing Mega Gallades can be a bit troublesome.​

 

Updated my team. I'm looking for something to add on that will alleviate the electric weakness.
