Mega Sceptile/Mawile team

smartinbox-23 OP

Was testing Sceptile with Bellibolt first, but it's important to have a faster duo and I had Rotom-Heat sitting in my box pretty much since I downloaded the game a month ago so better make use of it

The duo works really well and Mawile is another powerful mega option.

Aero provides Tailwind and Wide Guard support + very needed Rock and Flying coverage

Basc and Sneasler are just great powerful coverage + fake out support

Very straightforward, but should have room for improvement.

I'm thinking replacing Coaching for Protect would make more sense in this team and also Mystic Water instead of Sitrus on Basc is probably a stronger option.

Open for any kinds of suggestions!

let's go

EV'd Basc to survive non-Black Glasses Kingambit's Sucker Punch but that's it for now, surely there more to do with the spreads

Max attack on basc

Protect over coaching
More beneficial for you

Trick over discharge unless discharge has a clear purpose

Consider taunt on aero if tr is a issue

smartinbox-23 OP

Discharge is there to combo with Mega Sceptile, buffing their Special Attack

smartinbox-23 OP

Taunt sounds amazing! Have been struggling against TR in the ladder

Mega Sceptile, Choice Scarf Rotom-Heat, Sitrus Basculegion, Sashed Aero, Life Orb Chomp, and Mega floette was the team he posted. I'm sure Sylveon can be put in place of the Floette tho

Sceptile for Swampert, Sneasler for Archaludon and Rotom for Pelipper

Earth Power on Sceptile also does surprisingly good damage

I happen to have a Mega Floette but I really like Mawile and like how she is a good counter to opponent Floettes that Sceptile would not like to face

In my experience, Light of Ruin is a pretty good counter to Light of Ruin lol

Nuke kills nuke

smartinbox-23 OP

Light of Ruin truly an absurd move

smartinbox-23 OP

Nukes anything

smartinbox-23 OP

I'm afraid if I add Floette to the team I'll never play Sceptile lol

"Oh but you take all that recoil!"
Yeah the opposing dude took a little bit more damage, though.
