Mawile

[COLOR="#008080"]I'm surprised this thread was "bumped" o.o. Well, I went to the team building thread and got my answers there. This is what I'm currently making if you didn't get a chance to look:

 Lead

 Spoiler

Nature: Timid
Ability: Compoundeyes
Item: Focus Sash/Red Card (If people aren't picky with duplicate items, Life Orb)
EV: 252 SpA/Spe, 4 SpD
Moves: Thunder, Bug Buzz, Sticky Web, Thunder Wave(Most likely)/Volt Switch (2nd Choice)/Giga Drain

This little Thunder Spider is my suicide leader who will set up Sticky Web. I don't think I will need Stealth Rocks or other hazards since Mawile/Salamence/others seems to do fine w/o them but their stats look good on paper so idk how it will be in battles~

 Sweeper

 Spoiler

Nature: Adamant
Ability: Intimidate/Pure Power
Item: Mawilite
EV: 252 Atk, 200 Def, 56 Spe
Moves: Play Rough, Sucker Punch, Sword Dance, Iron Head

Kinda self-explanatory since this thread is about Mawile. xD

Despite all that, her weakness is probably going to be common (Fire/Ground). ESPECIALLY with this pokemon running in the game once we are allowed to trade pokemon from other games in about a month:

Which leads to my next pokemon to cover her weakness…

 MixAttacker

 Spoiler

Nature: Naive
Ability: Intimidate
Item: Life Orb
EV: 68 Atk, 188 SpA, 252 Spe
Moves: Draco Meteor, Outrage/Dragon Claw, Fire Blast, Earthquake

The best set for me to run Salamence is probably a MixAttacker because this will help against any pesky enemies of Mawile along with his own. I took some time to think about it and I'll probably stick to Outrage yet if the enemy switches to a more physically defensive pokemon, this seems to be a problem. Then again, I'll probably won't use Outrage until the Mid to Late-game.

Since Salamence is a flying type, his weakness is probably going to be Stealth Rock and Fairies. The former means I will need a Rapid Spin user and the latter is already covered. :x

 Rapid Spinner

 Spoiler

Nature: Timid
Ability: Natural Cure
Item: Leftovers
EV: 248 Hp, 32 Def, 4 SpA, 224 Spe

Moves: Rapid Spin, Scald, Psyshock, Recover

Threw in some SpA because Starmie's attacks are more focused on there. Nevertheless, a bulky Starmie means that a few Rapid Spins will be used during the battle.

 3rd Attacker(?)

 Spoiler

Nature: Jolly
Ability: Infiltrator
Item: Black Sludge
EV: 252 Hp/Spd, 4 Def
Moves: Taunt, Roost, Brave Bird, Defog

*shrugs* I thought of Crobat to be a "Defog" user but after some advice from others, having another attacker is pretty great. Problem is, I don't know if Crobat fits that criteria for the 3rd attacker. I mean, yes Crobat can kill fairies easily but having another pokemon prone to stealth rock is kinda risky (despite having a bulky Starmie. I may switch her to either Aegislash/Gengar or Malamar....The former because of a potential Spinblocker and the latter for an "Anti-Aegislash"/"Anti-booster".

 Wish

 Spoiler

Nature: Bold
Ability: Cute Charm
Item: Sitrus Berry/Leftovers
EV: 252 Hp/Def 4 SpA
Moves: Wish, Protect, Moon Blast, Baton Pass

I just finished breeding/training Sylveon and so far, it's alright. Haven't gotten him to online battles yet but baton/wish did wonders in some battles. Moon Blast is a decent attack I guess.
