I am really enjoying mega sceptile and think it has potential if piloted correct. Need suggestions for different mons or items used to run mega metagross but wanted to bring a steel type with sceptile and it felt bad when I didnt mega evolve metagross

Dwb talon
Dwb?
Dual wingbeat
Ah ok
Taunt no fake out damnnnn
For trick room
The guy I was coaching is using willow + dual wingbeat wide lense talon
Also idt rock slide is good on Mamo idt it picks up yard
I think it runs tomb doesn't iy
Just to get yard
You need beak form some kills with dwb
Why not just run eq, ice shard, icical crash/spear mamo?
Idr what but I have done the calcs in the past
Just like the reg set
Not saying that sceptile isn't good but it wouldn't hurt to have a secondary mega
I want to use earth move next to sneasler and gholdengo sometimes dont wanna have to protect or switch every time
You can argue for EQ because two flying but you want something to kill yard with sash, always tect on sash and spear is good
Not spear
Shard
Mamo is the anti garchomp and sand team mon rotom obviously to boost sceptile and gholdengo for fairy and archaludon talon for quick guard and tailwind and then sneasler for taunt farig and overqwill
Mamoswine = priority + spread spammer
Talon = tailwind setter
Sneasler = fake out support
Sceptile and rotom are part of that gimmick which I get but they should Idealy have their own roles to fill aside from that
Sneasler feels the most out of place but I have no trick room answer and I have tried imprison sinistchia and imprison farig but it didnt feel good
Wait its not even fake out sneasler???!
That's what I saidddd
Nope
Im trying alot of shit out
I can't even suggest roar giraffe because you have gholdengo
So it doesn't make sense
Had roar gyardos once upon a time to
I think rotom should either be non scarf with screens/willow or have electroweb tbh so that it has some role to play aside from just supporting sceptile
Sceptile is fine cuz its a mega so I can turn a blind eye
Wellllll
What if he just ran taunt talon
With reg farig
The cumalative dark weaknesses aren't great true but like its better than having sneasler without fake out imo
I dont love taunt talon because of the gengar incen lead for parish song cause they are just gonna fake out sceptile or mamo then I lose lol
6-0d by gambit
What rank are you
Or showdown elo
Masterball 2
Oh that's high enough cool
Hmm thats pretty decent
I was about to complain about ppl running perish in low ranks
Yeah it's a nice team it's just Sneasler and Mamo not being actually able to kill yard
And dwb talon ig
Does sneasler need protect more than fake out?
Imo I don't rly think so
Mamo lead plus quick guard eats up perish lead
I'll give it a shot i like the idea
Sceptile can get quick guard to but it kinda needs protect i think
It seems rock slide is more common than rock tomb interesting
I do not agree
Tried rock tomb but didnt love it
And usually its rock slide then shard and the yard is dead but I was thinking lycanrock aswell
Welp obv this is a terrible suggestion and you should just ignore me
Lyccy is the goat
???
But I am compelled to say this for every team_building forum I help in
https://klipy.com/gifs/pokemon-dragonite-7
O hell no lmao
So use dnite with sceptile fr fr
I just lost to life orb dnite so can't go against that
That's 2 4times ice weak im good
Fuck it I'll give it a try but if I go back to masterball 4 im gonna yell
Well I mean multiscale reg dnite can survive max spa spa+ frosslass
But ye no I meant it as a joke
Until it gets faked out
What is a good set for Lycan or should I just test stuff out
But then I fake out inner focus life orb dnite and I lose
Damn
Sash acc slide cc tect
I've seen people use earthquake dnite
It was espeed claw spinner tect
And at that point I was wondering why they didn't just use garchomp
Ah ok
Espeed is such a nuke it's actually funny
Not even band tera normal
With lycanrock would my team be weaker to meag starraptor??
And I still damn lose to it
It's already dead to it it's fine
You have ghold you will survive
Trust
Ok cool
You should not be using lycaroc against staraptor to begin with imo
Just gonna be cc fodder
Rotom and mamo are good into it tho so you'll prob be fine
Thank you for input guys im gonna do some testing and see what works better I appreciate your help
If I become a dnite enjoyed after this I have u to blame lol
Don't know if this was said but rotom heat is better than wash here
Heat + aero might go hard
