• Regieleki has powerful Electric type moves and can lower the speed of both targets and deal good damage with Electroweb. I tend to pair it with Dracovish to deter Ground types.

• Dracovish is probably the most powerful Pokemon on this team. Choice Band Strong Jaw STAB Fishious Rend is extremely powerful, but then factor in the Electroweb chip and the speed drop... It also has a great matchup against most Intimidators.

• Incineroar has a great matchup against Amoonguss and Tapu Lele, the most common redirectors. It also has access to other great tools in Parting Shot, Fake Out, STAB Knock Off, and most importantly Intimidate. The EVs guarantee a OHKO on Dragapult with Knock Off while surviving some strong Water type moves like Volcanion's Steam Eruption (yes this is the Smogon set)

• Dragapult is there because it has high Speed, high SpA, and STAB Draco Meteor. Shadow Ball is also a great move since its almost unresisted by the metagame, and the Pokemon that resist or are immune to it get destroyed by Draco Meteor.

• Kartana has base 181 Attack, high Speed, and Tailwind, so this one was pretty much a no-brainer.

• Zygarde has great bulk, a nice Attack stat, and a Ground type move (tied for best offensive type in the game) that hits Flying types and Air Balloon users, does spread damage, and gets a STAB boost on top of that. Its issue is that it gets outsped by a lot, but with Tailwind and Electroweb that all changes.

So, what do you guys think? Any way I can improve?

Comments

Miracle seed for Kartana? There would be a better item for it.

I believe Kartana is too frail to set up both tailwind and use one of its moves with a Life Orb boost. It really wouldn't last long, unlike in Singles, where it is probably more doable thanks to the high amount of switching in singles formats. Besides, Leaf Blade is the move I'm going to be spamming the most in a game. Smart Strike is mainly used for Fairies and Amoonguss. I feel like Kartana is already strong enough.
