This team was designed on PO, and I want suggestions before I start making it on Black and White. I will use it for the Double and Super Double Trains.
Alakazam (M) @ Psychic Gem
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Psychic
- Charge Beam
- Focus Blast
- Skill Swap
Psychic Gem is because I don't know what else to give it :D. EVs make it beast. Psychic is STAB and kills Fighting types threatening Slaking. Charge Beam kills Flying types messing with Infernape, and kills bulky Waters too. Focus Blast covers his Dark weakness, and Cofagrigus' Dark weakness. Skill Swap takes Truant away from Slaking and gives it to the foe.
Slaking (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Truant
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Return
- Brick Break
- Shadow Claw
- Rock Slide
Return is STAB. Brick Break destroys everything, including Screens, and covers Alakazam's Dark weakness. Shadow Claw kills Ghosts trying to kill Cofagrigus and Alakazam. Rock Slide kills Flying types messing with Infernape, and Bugs threatening Alakazam. Life Orb makes this Pokemon hit incredibly hard.
Alakazam and Slaking together are beastly. Alakazam can give Truant to the foe, and Slaking can attack freely.
Cofagrigus (M) @ Kasib Berry
Ability: Mummy
EVs: 204 HP / 52 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Will-O-Wisp
- Night Shade
- Power Split
- Heal Block
Kasib Berry is so that, alternatively, Slaking can use Shadow Claw and get Mummy. Will-O-Wisp effectively halves the foe’s Attack, making Alakazam a beast. Night Shade is in case of Taunt, which isn’t used too much in the Double Train, but you never know. Power Split kills Sweepers, and Heal Block prevents the foe from using Recover, Roost, and other annoying healing moves.
Infernape (M)
Ability: Blaze
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Mach Punch
- Flame Charge
- Swords Dance
Now for my favorite Pokemon of all time: Infernape!! (Applause) Acrobatics covers Bug types messing with Alakazam, and deals with Fighting types trying to kill Slaking. Mach Punch is STAB, and covers Cofagrigus’ and Alakazam’s Dark weakness. Flame Charge is Fire STAB, and kills Bug trying to kill Alakazam. I am making it a requirement to give a replacement for Flame Charge. Swords Dance makes this awesome Pokemon DEATH.
These two are incredibe alone, but are even more powerful in Double Battles.
Spent some time polishing this one up. All answers are appreciated!
