Let’s start from the start.
Pheromosa: Why are you using Assault Vest? It already got such low defences, base 37 is not screaming an AV. It’s so frail even with AV (252 SpA Latios Draco Meteor vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Pheromosa: 304-358 (107.4 - 126.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO). You may expect it to survive a few not-very-effective hits, but HO Special Attackers just... kill it. I’d say, go for Life Orb. Life Orb hits so hard, the oppo will be :O before you know it.
This move set fares very much good:
Pheromosa @ Choice Band / Life Orb
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat / High Jump Kick
- U-turn
- Drill Run
- Triple Axel / Throat Chop / Rapid Spin
This is a sample one, choose either a Choice Band or Life Orb for this. High Kick got higher power than Close Combat, but if it misses, the Poke is a goner. Last move is also a choice, but I prefer Triple Axel, as it KO’s many things that are weak to it, which may be a threat to your team (252 Atk Life Orb Pheromosa Triple Axel (40 BP) (3 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Zygarde: 453-546 (107.8 - 130%) -- guaranteed OHKO) Nobody does 252 HP / 252+ Def, but I just gave it as a sample. So all’s good in Phero after this. (PS: You can also do a mixed set with Ice Beam instead of Triple Axel, but Axel is a bit more powerful)
Zygarde: Vey OP mon, also in my team. Everything’s goood in this, but I’d say to change the nature to Adamant, and then it will have more firepower. The set I use is Dragon Dance / Thousand Arrows / Coil / Extreme Speed. Extreme Speed provides good priority, so exchanging it with Outrage or Substitute maybe a choice, but it’s upon you.
Cinderace: A no-item Cinderace? No, no, no. Go for this set, much better than a no-item with Acrobatics:
Cinderace @ Heavy Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- High Jump Kick
- U-Turn
- Zen Headbutt / Sucker Punch
Last move is your choice, Zen for Toxapex’s, Sucker is prio. This set also tricks people into thinking that you are running Band, as that is a more popular item, so you can use High Jump Kick on a Tyranitar, and then just Sucker Punch a Spectrier. Element of surprise!
Polteageist: Yes, it CAN be a potential sweepers once it has Shell Smash’d (and it’s checks are either weakened or fainted). The move set is good, everything is good, but to outspeed a Modest Venusaur in Sun, you’ll have to go with a Timid Nature. The main problem is Priority, as Sucker Punch from a Urshifu destroys it. Even a Shadow Sneak from a Adamant Aegislash-Blade kills it after Rocks damage. So, make sure that these Pokemon’s have been fainted by Polteageist’s teammates, do it can sweep cheerfully.
Dracozolt: Sand Rush? Well, it’s my first time seeing a SR Dracozolt. Hustle is unarguably a better ability, and along with Choice Band, it sweeps pretty great. Choice Scarf can also be considered, as then Bolt Beak may get a power increase, to sweep even more comfortable. When you set up Sandstorm, that is the only time when it is powerful, because without Sand, it got no Ability!! So, I’d suggest Hustle with Scarf and the same move set (or Fire Fang instead of Iron Tail).
Ferrothorn: Oof. Pretty.. rare moves on this. Rest is not a reliable mode of recovery. You want recovery, go for Leftovers or Leech Seed. This moveset should be good enough:
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Gyro Ball / Body Press
- Protect
- Leech Seed
The same set, Physically Defensive to punish Physical Attackers more, more, more.. Body Press can also be kept, but then go for Impish Nature. Leech Seed is for recovery along with Protect that gives an extra turn for Recovery.
Hope it helped!!
Thanks for reading!!
