I'm not replying to this thread. Just a heads up No #1 screenshot sorry, never thought I'd rmt this . (alt used was sopan ) This team was initially based on Blimlax's XY team of similar nature but has since then incorporated more broken elements and lessened creativity to allow it to be an efficient team for speed laddering. Deoxys-Speed @ Light Clay Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Taunt - Reflect - Light Screen The most important mon in my team THIS DEOXYS IS NOT A SUICIDE LEAD . Never let deoxys die early game ever . deoxys is an efficient pivot while double switching to taunt opposing pokemons or absorb a draco for groudon from latis allowing xern to come in or setting up screens again after defoggers have been dealt with etc etc . Never let this mon die in vain. Gengar (M) @ Gengarite Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Destiny Bond - Shadow Ball - Sludge Wave - Taunt Standard Set. Shadow ball over Focus to damage Latis in a pinch and overall usefulness as lugia is a pain to handle otherwise .Also my wincon against most stall builds(absorbs Tspikes as a bonus); even sabelye ones ( although stall is unreliable atm). DO NOT MEGA EVOLVE RECKLESSLY , THIS IS THE TEAM'S ONLY GROUND IMMUNITY. Xerneas @ Power Herb Ability: Fairy Aura EVs: 200 Def / 252 SpA / 56 Spe Modest Nature - Geomancy - Focus Blast - Moonblast - Psyshock Standard broken sweeper .Ev's are to outspeed genesect and live Boosted Ekiller And Mega Mence in a pinch. Eliminate Xern check and click Geomancy.Win . Also is the teams' only Yveltal check so use it wisely . Arceus @ Lum Berry Ability: Multitype EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Spe Adamant Nature - Brick Break - Swords Dance - Extreme Speed - Shadow Claw Lum is crucial on this bulky arc set as it is the only reliable status absorber in the entire team . Brick Break for other dual screen teams as this pretty much destroys dual screen ho singlehandedly if gengar has not mega evolved yet. Ekiller is still a top tier sweeper despite the massive power creep in ORAS Ditto @ Choice Scarf Ability: Imposter EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD Bold Nature - Transform Lazy check to all sweepers , prevents them from setting up early game and has enough bulk to live boosted hits under screens . Ditto still does it's job fairly well and can end up as the team's cleric (LOL) against stall in the event gengar doesn't pull through. Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb Ability: Desolate Land EVs: 124 HP / 252 Atk / 132 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Rock Polish - Earthquake - Stone Edge Primal Groudon is the sole Primal Ogre check , softchecks Xern and Salamence (Lives a eq and does massive damage) and overall the most reliable member in the event screens aren't up ( Bulky Ekiller is unreliable at best even though it's bulk still does put in work against the ever increasing power creep) HO is still what it always was ; An inconsistent and HEAVILY prediction reliant playstyle (I'm willing to argue this)but incredibly fun to use and the epitome of creating nail biting games and overall just crazy fun. Importable Deoxys-Speed @ Light Clay Ability: Pressure EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Stealth Rock - Taunt - Reflect - Light Screen Gengar (M) @ Gengarite Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe Timid Nature - Destiny Bond - Shadow Ball - Sludge Wave - Taunt Xerneas @ Power Herb Ability: Fairy Aura EVs: 200 Def / 252 SpA / 56 Spe Modest Nature - Geomancy - Focus Blast - Moonblast - Psyshock Arceus @ Lum Berry Ability: Multitype EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Spe Adamant Nature - Earthquake - Swords Dance - Extreme Speed - Shadow Claw Ditto @ Choice Scarf Ability: Imposter EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD Bold Nature - Transform Groudon-Primal @ Red Orb Ability: Desolate Land EVs: 124 HP / 252 Atk / 132 Spe Adamant Nature - Swords Dance - Rock Polish - Earthquake - Stone Edge Changes I was thinking of - DEFOG ON SD EKILLER Threats- outpredict everything imo ---> Jolly Brick Break Ekiller halp /Latis are a pain / Yveltal/Sub DD Mence is cancer/Sub in general is cancer/gen 5 CM ghostceus (needs to be taken down by gengar which is unreliable as STag doesnt work) Special thanks to @Draciel for being an Idiot and @Ramiel for being Ramiel and @Fixed for being the team's first credible victim Thanks for reading etc
