Now please clarify me if what I state maybe incorrect. My point of having Greninja as lead is the because of his amazing speed + taunt, most leads I see are supports but in the event that the opponent's lead is not a support, I'd U-turn to a pokemon that can take a hit (Gengar or Tyranitar are examples) and then I'd either keep him for late game or sweep most of the opponent's pokemon early. Tyranitar has a mixed set, with the EV spread + Jolly I can atleast out speed a couple of pokemons (I'm not sure on this); I also want to keep Tyranitar alive as much as possible for switch's or U-turns for his Sand stream. Gengar, I just picked him because he's pretty strong atm, and can delay for awhile for that sandstorm. Scizor has this EV spread because I primarily focused on the use of those priority moves (I could change this to 252 Spd EV and add different moves). Klefki, a wall support. Finally Gliscor, my strategy with this guy is to delay and to toxic most of the opponents team while switching-out the opponent's pokemon and receiving hazard damage.

Answer 1

You have a good team going on here. I would run impish on gliscor personally but i think your ok. As for klefki, klefki isn't remarkably speedy to begin with so other pokemon with prankster and low attack like sabelye and whimsicott will walk all over you, so put at least some speed on it. I also think your not planning for something that can easily sweep your team if your not very careful. One of the most OU pokemon of all time, magic bounce espeon. With so much depending on the set up of your staturs moves, you don't really have much that can stop an espeon if it comes out. Gengar: Nope. Sorry but since most espeons run psyshock and outspeed gengar, your done. Klefki: maybe. You would defeinetley need to set up dual screens and spam foul play but you could potentially handle one, despite klefki's average attack stat. T-tar: No. Some espeons have fairy type moves (dazzling gleam) . Maybe i'm thinking of it too much of it but i say, if you gave your gliscor just one move that isn't status this team could be a huge threat. Good job coming up with this, happy battling! =)
