Hi everybody! Welcome to yet another RMT named "The Rebellion of Souls" that I've made. This team is mainly centred around a FerroPex core, with Mega Charizard X as the win condition after all the opponent's Pokemon have been whittled down. Let me explain...

================================

PEX (Toxapex) (M) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Haze
- Recover
- Toxic

The Pex has arrived. With Ferro it not only forms a dangerous defensive core, I made it fully physically defensive to tank physical attacks better, whereas Ferro is more of a specially defensive wall. The moveset is standard, Scald/Haze/Recover/Toxic. Scald for STAB and burns, Haze stops stuff like Serperior from setting up all over my face, Recover is for healing, and Toxic is for poisoning things.


free hugs (Ferrothorn) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Power Whip
- Gyro Ball

Ferro is the specially defensive wall of the team, along with Toxapex being the physical wall. He sits there and slowly breaks down the opposing team. Leech Seed and Protect are self-explanatory, while Power Whip and Gyro Ball are for a strong STAB Attack. Max Health, Max SpD for taking special attacks better.


Tapu Cocoa (Tapu Koko) @ Fairium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Tapu Koko is the Z-Move user of the team, and the aim is to come in, set up on something like Skarmory, and proceed to Nuke with Twinkle Tackle or at least remove some big threats on the opponent's team. Calm Mind is for setting up, Thunderbolt is for STAB, Dazzling Gleam is also STAB, and HP Ice is for Landorus-T, who is a huge threat to the team. It's max Special Attack and Max Speed to hit as hard and fast as possible.


Landorusaurus (Landorus-Therian) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 4 Atk / 132 Def / 124 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Defog
- U-turn

Landorusaurus is the defensive Stealth Rocker and Defogger on the team. Even uninvested, Earthquake does a significant amount to Pokemon such as Toxapex, and U-Turn is for pivoting around. The EV spread gives me maximum HP, then evens out my defences at 249 each, letting me take hits better. Rocky Helmet is for slowly weakening physical attackers.


Mega Klingklang (Magearna) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Aura Sphere
- Ice Beam

Next I decided to use Assault Vest Magearna to form a VoltTurn core with Landorusaurus. She has been incredibly useful, switching in, dealing damage, then switching out again. Flash Cannon is for STAB, Aura Sphere and Ice Beam are coverage. The only problem is that Magearna has no reliable recovery, so I need to be careful when using it. However, the positives far outweigh the negatives.


Shōkyaku (Charizard-Mega-X) (M) @ Charizardite X
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Roost
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake

Finally, we come to the win condition of the team: Mega Charizard X. The aim is to come in after the opponent has been severely weakened, get to +2, and then sweep. Dragon Dance and Roost are for setup and healing, while Flare Blitz is a legendary STAB and Earthquake is more coverage. Flare Blitz's recoil is covered by Roost, so I can spam it more. Max Attack and Speed to hit hard. I'm not using Jolly Nature, because Dragon Dance boosts speed too.

================================

Thank you for reading about "The Rebellion of Souls!" Please take the time to try it out, and suggest what I could do better! Thank you, and have a great day!

Tschüs!

I think your team can improve by using hawlucha instead of charizard. Tapu Koko is very helpful and you could have a sweeper in only about 1 turn instead of 2. You could get 2 +2 Hawlucha with a powerful high jump kick, and an op acrobatics. It does the same thing, except with a fighting type instead.
Ex set:
Hawlucha @ Electric Seed
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 36 SpD / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Roost

I think Charizard is more appreciated than Hawlucha since it completes the Fire-Water-Grass core (or Dragon Fairy Steel core) and can be reusable, whereas if you switch out Hawlucha, you lose the Speed and Defense Boosts and Hawlucha then becomes closer to a Dead Weight than Charizard is. :P

Hawlucha isn't a bad pick, but I think Charizard Fits better here. :P
What does the EV spread do?
@sumwun I think it's the standard Hawlucha set on Smogon

@bulbasaurbaby thank you, but as stated, I chose charizard as the win con. If Hawlucha switches, it loses all its boosts which is why I didn't use it.
