Now Alakazam and Mawile deal with most of the same threats, but, Mawile has a better typing and doesn’t fold to priority, and against Trick Room teams, Mawile isn’t useless like Alakazam. But Alakazam can deal with lots of threats and base 80 pokemon at +1 speed not to mention, not scared of status thanks to Magic Bounce and Mawile is deathly afraid of Will-O-Wisp, but Mawile also has priority and at +2, only a very few percent of pokemon survive it.
Also, should I ditch a pokemon for a Stealth Rocker? I mean it hasn’t ever been a big enough problem but maybe?
Milotic is the only bulky water who isn’t scared of Choice Specs Tapu Lele unlike Slowbro who takes a big chunk with Shadow Ball, Toxapex is garbage against it, and Empoleon is scared of Focus Blast as well as boosting its defense when statused and having Haze to remove set up sweepers and Baton Pass teams. Gliscor is basically a physically bulky monster and my Toxic Setter + Defogger, Weavile is there to put priority against Dragons and Flyings who have set up and just a fast go to pokemon that can hurt most Fairy types with Poison Jab and Knock Off is just too good to pass up and I only put 248 in Attack since it does the same damage as 252, Volcarona is Volcarona, and the spread allows me to survive hits which would have OHKOed me, Haxorus has Mold Breaker, and has saved me too many times as it breaks, Disguise, Multiscale, Sturdy and Levitate among other things, so the only threats are Scizor, Pinsir, Ferrothorn, Lopunny, Kartana and Keldeo which both Alakazam and Mawile can both deal with, I just want to know which is better since I’m currently done with breeding my whole team (I even got a shiny 5 IV Axew) except these 2 megas.
