Btw Mega Sableye > Sharpedo?

by
Based on my limited knowledge of Monotype, I think Sableye is better than Sharpedo.
They fulfil very different roles, so its based more on either which role is more important to your team or which Pokemon on your team can be easily replaced without much consequence (i.e can you find another Pokemon that works as well as Mega Sharpedo?).
That Pokemon is called Greninja. He/she/it's already using it.
Mega Sableye is often the "staple" of Mono Dark teams :P

Your team looks like a balance team, so Mega Sableye's utility is probably more beneficial than Mega Sharpedo's late-game cleaning capabilities.

Sableye @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
- Foul Play

Knock Off is a good option that allows it to take away crucial items such as Chansey's Eviolite. Will-o-Wisp can burn opposing physical attackers, which is really helpful with specially defensive Tyranitar as a teammate. Recover is for regaining HP, and Foul Play punishes Pokémon that set up on Sableye.


Replace Greninja's Extrasensory with Hydro Pump. Hydro Pump has a higher base power, and it makes sense to use it if you decide to replace Sharpedo.


I think you should give Hydreigon Choice Specs instead of Expert Belt. You already have a Choice Scarf user, but giving Hydreigon a choice item isn't too big a deal considering you have multiple Pokémon that you can switch in to if you're locked into a bad move. With Expert Belt, Hydreigon misses out on a few KOs. Darkinium-Z or Dragonium-Z is also probably better than Expert Belt, as you don’t have any other Z-move users, and it provides a reliable way to KO someone.

I think Darkinium Z is better than both choice specs and expert belt because it can reliably power up an attack and not lock choices.
Didn’t think of that. I suppose it could work since there aren’t any Z-crystal holders on the team.
