So when I decided to create this team I knew what core I wanted to use from the beginning. This being Genesect/Heatran. The #1 reason being is the great synergy.
With Genesect being a steel/bug type its only weakness is fire, and because of this Heatran becomes and amazing switch in for it. Not only does Heatran take no damage from fire type attacks, but its own fire type attack power is boosted.
SadicalbutRadical (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 180 HP / 252 SpA / 76 Spe
Modest Nature
- Substitute
- Heat Wave
- Earth Power
- Protect
So on every team I like to have at least one mon to put up a substitute, and Heatran is arguably one of the best pokemon to use substitute with in the doubles format. I opted for leftovers over Shuca Berry because I feel that if Subtran is played well Shuca Berry makes little difference in how long it will survive, and getting back to max health with leftovers is a lovely thing. :]
Stain (Genesect) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Download
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- U-turn
- ExtremeSpeed or Thunder Bolt
- Ice Beam
- Iron Head
Next up is the commonly slept on Genesect.
Genesect's ice beam covers the obvious Landorus weakness to Heatran, and because of how commonly use it is, it is well needed.
Most people who use Genesect don't normally use Extreme Speed with Choice Scarf, but that makes me feel as though they are forgetting the difference between the two.
Choice Scarf is used to go fast, and Extreme Speed is used to go first, when necessary. Choice Scarf helps to outspeed scarf Landorus-Therian, and make quick work of it. While Extreme speed is mainly used to hit other mons with priority +1 attacks, even taking out low health pranksters before they can start with their shenanigans.
I suppose Genesect's extreme speed could be swapped out for thunderbolt if Gyarados, or Talonflame appear to pose a threat to the team that makes you uncomfortable.
Sopha (Keldeo) @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
EVs: 24 HP / 232 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Secret Sword
- Scald
- Quick Guard
- Protect
In the words of the ever-random finally "add Keldeo to your team, it will make it better," I decided to do just that. Heatran resists 4/5 of Keldeo's weaknesses, and Genesect resists 3/5, while Keldeo resists Genesect's only weakness, and helps out Heatran with a water resist.
With Keldeo's fantastic damage output, and coverage that helps out any team in so many areas it fits greatly.
Quick Guard is a fantastic first turn move against fake outers as Keldeo will outspeed most of them (Including Mega-Kangaskhan), and an even stop a Talonflame from using Brave Bird if necessary.
Shaian's Mom (Kangaskhan) (F) @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 142 HP / 252 Atk / 114 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Seismic Toss or Power up Punch
- Double-Edge or Return
- Sucker Punch
Mega-Kangaskhan does not need much explanation, as it is an undeniably solid mon.
The Seismic Toss Double-Edge set is meant to be funtional after burns/intimidates/reflect, 2hko'ing pretty much everything I believe.
The Power up Punch/Return set is meant to allow Kangaskhan to rampage through all things, mainly with Amoonguss at its side.
Kangaskhan's EVs outspeed 252 Spe Jolly Breloom(as well as mons that outspeed it by 1), and will keep it alive a tad bit longer. :]
Edit: My Kang has around a 50% chance of surviving a Keldeo 232 SpA Life Orb Secret Sword
And a 100% chance to survive a 252 Keldeo Secret Sword without a life orb
Stonewall Jackson (Amoonguss) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 182 Def / 74 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Spore
- Rage Powder
- Giga Drain
- Protect
Amoonguss is one of my favorite pokemon viable in the metagame, and one of the easiest to use.
With rage powder's ability to redirect attacks (mainly away from Kangaskhan, or Heatran), It helps an incredible amount. Amoonguss resists 1/1 of Kangaskhan's weaknesses 3/5 of Keldeo's, and 2/3 of Heatran's. With such a fitting typing Amoonguss is definitely a corner stone of the team.
Rocky helmet has gotten more ko's than I ever expected it to, and I'll definitely be using it on future teams.
Stuntin' (Thundurus) (M) @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 212 HP / 128 Def / 52 SpA / 96 SpD / 20 Spe
Modest Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Taunt
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
Thundurus has become one of my favorite members of the team. It being one of the fastest pranksters it can taunt other pranksters before they can the chance to do anything. It also helps out a lot against other support pokemon such as Amoonguss, or stat boosting mans. Even providing assistance against Mega-Kangaskhan by slowing it down(and hopefully stopping it completely on occasion) leaving it open for hits.
(Yes their nicknames all start with "S," and no I don't have any legitimate reason for it, just wanted to do it like that)
\(^0^)/ Yay for my first RMT
