Whimsicott @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe

Emboar @ Expert Belt
Ability: Reckless
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Wild Charge
- Superpower
- Sucker Punch

This team has no fairy resists which means Whimsicott is great against it. The only mon to naturally outspeed Whimsi is scarf Houndoom, which is why Emboar is the second mon. Emboar also has no switchins other than Seismitoad, who gives Whimsicott an almost free switchin. Emboar also resists Vanilluxe`s Blizzard and Vikavolt`s bug buzz, which means it can somewhat switchin to them since Whimsi does not KO them in one hit.

Specs Vikavolt has a chance to OHKO every mon on the team with at least one of its moves leaving the opponent with no useful switchins. Bug Buzz in particular 2HKOs everything and can be spammed without many drawbacks. Emboar serves as the cores late game cleaner who can pick up after vikavolt once everything is weakened. It is also able to outspeed everything except houndoom, which is unable to do any significant damage to it.

I promise you this gallade set is good. I've used it on other teams it jsut reqiures differnet evs for whatever you're scared of. This spread is specifically for being able to outpseed scarf emboar at +2 with z snatch. Whims+spikes weakens pilo+garb and nothing else takes a hit. Whenever you want to setup you meme and go gallade. Garbodor also makes emboar kill itself so lol.

Also hootie treat ur pkmn right they hate you

Delphox calcs:
252+ SpA Delphox Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Eviolite Thick Fat Piloswine: 182-216 (45 - 53.4%) -- 32.8% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Emboar Sucker Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Delphox: 192-228 (65.9 - 78.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO


Pyukumuku calcs:
252 Atk Barbaracle Continental Crush (180 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 153-180 (48.7 - 57.3%) -- 47.3% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Barbaracle Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Pyukumuku: 84-100 (26.7 - 31.8%) -- 37.7% chance to 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

If delphox gets to come in, it picks up a kill or forces 50/50s that lie heavily in favor of the delphox. The team has no reliable switch-ins and nothing that outspeeds it, so phox can pressure v well vs basically everything and pick up ohkos/2hkos even without using coverage moves.

Pyuku invalidates barbaracle and prevents it from setting up while also switching into pilo for free, + it doesn't really care about emboar much. If baton pass without boosts wasn't still banned, it would give phox free pivots, but zmemento functions in a similar way while providing a bit of extra sustain for phox. It is only threatened by sigil/whimsi, which give phox a completely free switch upon killing pyuku.
