Knuckles (Chesnaught) @ Salac Berry
Ability: Overgrow
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 12 HP / 244 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Belly Drum
- Substitute
- Drain Punch
- Seed Bomb
Knuckles can really sweep when fully set up. He has powered through more teams than I can count! However, he is highly situational. If the substitute breaks on the first turn, he doesn't do a great deal, but can still score a KO or two! Substitute & Belly Drum with this EV spread takes him to exactly 25% HP, activating the salac berry for a speed boost - outspeeding unboosted 'mons that have a base speed of 95 (which is most of the tier).
Professor X. (Xatu) @ Light Clay
Ability: Magic Bounce
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Careful Nature
- Light Screen
- Reflect
- U-turn
- Night Shade
The Professor gives much needed screens support to my 2 setup sweepers. There isn't much to say here, but very few people know that Xatu gets Magic Bounce - which usually gets me some free entry hazards and a turn of setup!
Sackboy (Banette) @ Banettite
Ability: Frisk
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Atk
Impish Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Taunt
- Knock Off
- Destiny Bond
Taunt + Destiny Bond is a great way to get rid of a sweeper once. Sackboy can actually take a hit from most Pokémon in this tier, and serves as a good spinblocker (after stealing some entry hazards with Prof. X. this is amazing) and also makes use of the dual screens support to do some nasty damage with Knock Off.
Bloat (Qwilfish) @ King's Rock
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Impish Nature
- Poison Jab
- Waterfall
- Taunt
- Thunder Wave
Bloat serves to soak up Toxic Spikes and slow down the opposing team with Thunder Wave. He is a surprisingly good wall with intimidate, especially with paraflinch!
Aragog (Galvantula) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Compound Eyes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
- Bug Buzz
- Sticky Web
- Volt Switch
- Thunder
I'm really struggling with this slot. It used to be Porygon-Z, but Galvantula seems to do a bit better, and isn't weak to fighting.
TANK.EXE (Porygon2) @ Eviolite
Ability: Download
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
- Tri Attack
- Ice Beam
- Discharge
- Recover
Discharge's chance to paralyse helps the rest of the team - as none of them are quite fast enough to outspeed everything on their own. Special attacks bounce off TANK.EXE, giving the program ample chance to deal devastating blows of its own.
