Yep, I've started grinding on Champions Singles now too.
Pelipper @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Drizzle
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 32 HP / 32 Def / 2 SpA
Sassy Nature
- Weather Ball
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Roost
The rain setter, and a nice endgame closer too, thanks to its bulk and Sitrus letting it survive almost any hit, and fire back with 225 power Water Weather Ball after all the multipliers. U-Turn gives a slow Sash-breaking pivot, and manual switching gives a fast pivot.
Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Torrent
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 23 HP / 32 Atk / 11 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Wave Crash
- Flip Turn
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
The Mega sweeper, basic set.
Edit: Sps changed to outspeed max Spe Mega Raichu Y in rain: its STAB and coverage OHKO all 3 of my core (with Zap Cannon, Grass Knot, and Focus Blast respectively).
Archaludon @ Leftovers
Ability: Stamina
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 2 Def / 32 SpD
Calm Nature
- Electro Shot
- Flash Cannon
- Dragon Pulse
- Draco Meteor
Even without Body Press now, Electro Shot makes this still worth having on the team, along with Stamina making it unkillable, especially lower on the ladder when not every player uses Close Combat or Earthquake on it ASAP, unless it's with a... non-mega mixed attacking Charizard? (True story.) EVs make it as likely as possible to stay alive, as it can't improve its matchup to Special moves with no Assault Vest, and when you get to +2 or +3, dealing 220% (without SpA investment) and 260% (with) both KO.
Kleavor @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sharpness
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 Atk / 32 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Axe
- Night Slash
- X-Scissor
- U-turn
My counter to Char Y: if Charizard's led, survive on Sash, then OHKO with Stone Axe, if not, it can only come in once thanks to rocks, and I can just bring Pelipper back in. Night Slash gives needed Psychic and Ghost coverage, U-Turn to heavily chip a predicted switch-in.
These 4 Pokemon have literally single handedly brought me to Ultra Ball 3 (each time I've brought the other 2 on my team, they have been KOed before doing anything), a record high, especially since I've played maybe only 10-15 matches with it. I need help identifying weaknesses, and Pokemon that could patch them.
