Some other ideas for team synergy/support:
Levitate/Flying type to absorb Earthquake (which in turn might require a spinner, if your team becomes vulnerable to Stealth Rocks that is.)
A pokemon that can induce T-Wave (this can make up for Mawile's speed.)
Sticky Web (once again this can make up for Mawile's speed.)
Stealth Rocks/Spikes (Mawile will have a HUGE problem with Sturdy-mons and/or Focus Sash. This can alleviate that problem.)
If I think of any other ideas i'll edit it in. I'm not the best in the competitive scene but I hope my explanations help?
[COLOR="#008080"]I was gonna say if spin blockers are needed but after what corn suggest:
Corn Wrote:Mawile + Salamence is a fearsome combination. They both have Intimidate, not to mention they cover each other's weaknesses.
I think that answer is yes. xD It also change my mind on the whole Blaziken support thing. I could do a baton pass set but it's most likely*better for blaziken to have the old B/W set I've heard about.*
I'm going to guess that a spin blocker like Gengar/Aegislash or a spinner like Blastoise/Starmie would be best for the team.
And thanks! Any answer (as long as it has some benefit in the long run) is helpful. :b [/COLOR]
Corn Wrote:I'd run either HP/ATK or Speed/ATK, depending on your needs. Sucker Punch does a lot to alleviate her speed, though, you have to keep that in mind.
My best bet is to probably go speed/attack just in case I face fairy types, fighting types, or pokemon that can resist dark or bulky enough to resist a +1 sucker punch and need to use a stab iron head/play rough but I'll see how the end result of my team looks like. Thanks a bunches for the advice! :b
