FLYGON - Flygon has a mediocre 100 speed, which desperately needs boosting of you’re going to run a sweeper set. You have 2 options for this: Choice Scarf or Dragon Dance, but I’ll chose Dragon Dance because Choice Scarf is more of a hit and run option rather than a sweeper. Here’s a set I stole from smogon:
Flygon @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
- Dragon Dance (Really enhances your sweeping ability)
- Earthquake (STAB, and 100 BP)
- Dragon Claw (STAB, and without the annoyingly drawbacks of Outrage)
- Fire Punch (For Scizor and other steel types)
I get that yours was a troll set, but if you run troll sets in competitive, you lose.
The smogon suggested set suggested Outrage and Dragonium Z instead of Dragon Claw and Life Orb, but you already have a good Z-Move user on your team. (Lucario). I also just want to say that Flygon is outclassed as a Ground sweeper that’s 4x weak to Ice that’s immune to Ground and is a physical sweeper by Gliscor, who is all of the above, and more, but if you want to run Flygon, I’ll respect that.
BEEDRILL-MEGA (AERODACTYL-MEGA) - Mega Beedrill is a much better mega physical sweeper than Mega Aerodactyl as it has:
- A better offensive typing
- Access to Fell Stinger
- Better STAB moves (Mega Aerodactyl only gets Aerial Ace as its flying STAB)
- (Debatable) better ability. I know Adaptability is much Moreno situational than Tough Claws, but the only non-STAB move Mega Beedrilll runs is Drill Run anyways. I actually didn’t steal this particular set from smogon (wow, shocker) but it’s pretty similar to smogon’s set anyways.
Beedrill-Mega @ Beedrillite
Ability: Sniper—->Adaptability
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Spe/252 Atk/4 Def
- Fell Stinger (Enhances sweeping capability greatly)
- X-Scissor (Powerfull STAB)
- Poison Jab (STAB)
- Drill Run (Coverage against Steel Types)
DARMANITAN - Your Darmanitan is VERY gimmicky. Zen Mode Darmanitan is so rare in competitive that you’d find more Corsola than Zen Mode Darmanitan, and the metagame is like that for a reason. Darmanitan’s trash defenses makes is really hard to get Zen Mode to kick in without Substititute or Belly Drum, with the ladder being so gimmicky and dumb that the king of cringe himself, Verlisify, would tell you that it’s a bad idea. Here’s a better set stolen from smogon:
Darmanitan @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Sheer Force
Jolly Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/252 Spe/4 Def
- Flare Blitz (Works with Sheer Force really well)
- Rock Slide (Also works with Sheer Force really well)
- U-Turn (Great scouting move)
- Earthquake (Coverage for rock types)
If you HAVE to use a Zen Mode set, use
Darmanitan @ Petaya Berry
Ability: Zen Mode
Modest Nature
EVs: 80 Spe/176 HP/252 SpA
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Psychic
- Fire Blast
- Calm Mind
SCIZOR (VIKAVOLT) - Scizor is a much better bulky sweeper bug type than Vikavolt, because it has slightly less awful speed, a better ability than Vikavolt, a much better offensive typing, and access to priority. Here’s a standard Scizor set stolen from smogon (again)
Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk/84 Spe/172 HP
- Bullet Punch (Stacks with STAB and Technician, and covers for Sciz’s speed)
- Pursuit (Traps fleeing opponents)
- Bug Bite (STAB and Technician, but no priority sadly)
- Superpower (Basically just a filler; people never use it)
ALOMOMOLA - So your Alomomola is mostly fine, the only real problems I have with it is that you should replace Refresh and Waterfall for Scald and Calm Mind. Then, change it’s nature to Bold, and invest 4 special defense EVs instead of 4 attack.
