Focus Band?
Just run double megas at this point
Did not know what else to put
The gengarite?
Yeah we can’t use that item it’s % chance just isn’t good enough
Also thats a rly odf mega dnite set
And I don't really like when people do 252-252 on anything that isn't sash, since its better to try to ev things to actually live stuff- and I'd remove Screech from Corvid
Its the one you get from getting the game I'm guessing
Oh ok
Yea that’s the base move set I just put it on my shiny
I'll give you my set, replace the tailwinr with extreme speed
Dragonite-Mega @ Dragoninite
Ability: Inner Focus
Level: 50
EVs: 10 HP / 26 SpA / 30 Spe
Modest Nature
- Dragon Pulse
- Flamethrower
- Tailwind
- Protect
Well actually
If you are gonna run extreme speed on mega dnite you should probably run a bulky dnite with a speed lowering nature
I have tailwind on whims

Any ideas on the last 2 for the team?
Incin, farig, sinistcha, and mamoswine are pokemon that come to mind
I would say garchomp but having 2 quadruple weaknesses to ice isn't great so mamoswine is better here
I'd go Brave Bird, Bulk Up, Body Press and Roost on Corvi here - I wondered about Iron Head instead of Body Press for protecting Dnite form the fairies, you might actually just bring Mega Gengar instead of Dnite if you see Floette in the Team Preview
Incineroar for sure in one of the 2 remaining slots, brings you Intimidate and decent dark/fire coverage
Maybe running Thunderbolt on Dnite is a good idea against the Charizards and water types
For the final spot I second Mamoswine, been using it a lot and it's great, devours Garchomps.
Big fan of Tsareena to disrupt opponent's priority moves and ohko Blastoises, Rotom-W and I guess anyone week to grass with Power Whip + she has great coverage all around (Triple Axel, Low Kick, Knock Off, Zen Headbutt)
There is also Hisuian Samurott as good sweeper/coverage for your team with Sacred Sword, Aqua Cutter and Night Slash/Ceaseless Edge
Probably you'll need to run Choice Scarf on this final sweeper slot as Whimsy is holding Sash
Mamoswine is sooooo good at sweeping man
Its typing is insane
Truly he's been a hero in my sand team (which is my main team in the ladder)
Ice Shard goes brrrrr
And in this team here he could easily run Earthquake as there's two flying types and the other mons has Protect
(I've been running High Horsepower myself)
Ik like, everything will survive in like 2 hp and ice shard ko's it
These guys have like
Crazy opinions
lol
I mean he could also just add the top 10 pokemon and make his team, but not sure he would be asking on discord if he'd be willing to do that
