I've decided to try the Fini - Zapdos - Lando core. I feel that VGC 2018 is returning to the 2015 days, and consequently I feel my choices are limited. Nether the less, I'm trying to optimise this core.
If you have any suggestions on replacements or detail changes, please let me know!
Zapdos @ Misty Seed
Ability: Pressure
Level: 50
EVs: 244 HP / 136 Def / 80 SpD / 48 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tailwind
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Firstly, this is apart of the core. Tailwind is amazing; and has decent bulk.
Tapu Fini @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Misty Surge
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 108 Def / 132 SpA / 28 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Muddy Water
- Moonblast
- Protect
The third part of this core. Good Coverage. The calm mind set seems to fit with this team, tell me your opinion.
Landorus-Therian @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
- Knock Off
It. Is. Landorus. I find assault vest has the best usage, taking hits for my partner Pokemon to move or to retaliate against Trick Room Cresselia etc.
Kangaskhan @ Kangaskhanite
Ability: Scrappy
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Double-Edge
- Low Kick
- Protect
This mega is just so good; love it or hate it. Moveset is somewhat flexible. E.g. Double-Edge -> Return, Low Kick -> Power-Up Punch. Any suggestions?
Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 236 HP / 28 Atk / 12 Def / 228 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Protect
A BIG WALL. Can clutch 3v1s in some situations. It's Celesteela, its amazing but not sure about synergy with the core.
Tapu Koko @ Electrium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Dazzling Gleam
- Protect
This was a filler that has switch potential, good attacking capabilities and has good use of a Z-Move. Unsure about keeping it or replacing.
