Another team built from 1v1 Team-Building Workshop:
There was a germ of an idea in the 1v1 room to get an actual team built around either Mega Tyranitar or Naganadel. So, we held a team-building workshop, and this is what panned out of the team-building process:
First, a poll was made to choose the Pokemon around which the team was to be built. In the poll that happened, Mega Tyranitar was chosen by the majority, so we started off with it. A set was made for Mega Tyranitar, taking into account the stats and the moveset available, and this set was accepted by consensus:
Pokemon 1
The EVs here help in tanking a Choice Specs Bug Buzz from Download boosted Timid Genesect and a couple of Outrage from Kyurem-B.
After arriving at the Mega Tyranitar, a list of common threats were drawn up and the list consisted of:
This led us to believe that Mew would pair up well with Mega Tyranitar and so, keeping in mind the threats it had to overcome, the Mew set was agreed to be the following one:
The EVs here let Mew tank a Z-Fleur Cannon from Magearna, and a Rock Tomb+Z-StoneEdge/Z-EarthQuake from Golem with a chance in your favour. This is needed because Sturdy Pokemon can have Protect to not get wrecked by Fake Out.
After these two Pokemon were decided, the weakness list was drawn up again, and found to be as follows:
The EVs help Koko in tanking Mega Metagross Meteor Mash and a +1 max Attack Flare Blitz from Mega Charizard X after Reflect is used.
So, after much discussion, some varied opinions, and much changing of usual sets to fit the required niche, the final team looks like this:
That's it for now, until next post,Imma listen to Eminem Revival yayypeace fellas, and have fun using this team on the ladder...

Pokemon 1
Tyranitar-Mega @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 72 Atk / 84 Def / 100 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rock Tomb
- Fire Punch
- Low Kick
- Earthquake
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 72 Atk / 84 Def / 100 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rock Tomb
- Fire Punch
- Low Kick
- Earthquake
The EVs here help in tanking a Choice Specs Bug Buzz from Download boosted Timid Genesect and a couple of Outrage from Kyurem-B.
- Rock Tomb helps in KOing Mega Charizards, Kyurem-B, Dragonite, and also for speed control against Pokemon like Heatran, Magnezone.
- Fire Punch helps in KOing some Steel-type Pokemon like Aegislash, Genesect and Celesteela.
- Low Kick can KO Pokemon like Mega Gyarados, Stakataka, and Mega Tyranitar.
- Earthquake can KO some Pokemon like Tapu Koko, Magnezone, and Heatran.
After arriving at the Mega Tyranitar, a list of common threats were drawn up and the list consisted of:
- Tapu Lele
- Mega Venusaur
- Tapu Fini
- Donphan
- Golem
- Crustle
- Magearna
- Curse Mimikyu
- Mega Gyarados
- Mega Slowbro, amongst others........
This led us to believe that Mew would pair up well with Mega Tyranitar and so, keeping in mind the threats it had to overcome, the Mew set was agreed to be the following one:
Mew @ Mewnium Z
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 200 HP / 128 Def / 120 SpA / 60 SpD
Modest Nature
- Fake Out
- Nasty Plot
- Psychic
- Overheat
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 200 HP / 128 Def / 120 SpA / 60 SpD
Modest Nature
- Fake Out
- Nasty Plot
- Psychic
- Overheat
The EVs here let Mew tank a Z-Fleur Cannon from Magearna, and a Rock Tomb+Z-StoneEdge/Z-EarthQuake from Golem with a chance in your favour. This is needed because Sturdy Pokemon can have Protect to not get wrecked by Fake Out.
- Fake Out is essentially to take of Sturdy Pokemon like Donphan, Golem, Crustle, Magnezone, etc. It could also be used for chip damage for one turn.
- Nasty Plot helps in setting up against match-ups which aren't KO'd by Genesis Supernova or Overheat, like Magearna or Primarina.
- Psychic is turned into a 185 Base Power Genesis Supernova by Mewnium Z, which after a Nasty Plot setup, can KO mons like Mega Venusaur, Tapu Fini, Tapu Lele. In addition to this, Genesis Supernova also summons Psychic Terrain, which shields it from Priority moves like Ice Shard from Donphan, Sucker Punch from Golem.
- Overheat in this set helps in KOing Magearna after a Nasty Plot setup, Magnezone after a Fake Out, and some other Steel-type Pokemon as well.
After these two Pokemon were decided, the weakness list was drawn up again, and found to be as follows:
- Mega Gyarados
- Curse Mimikyu
- Mega Metagross
- Mega Slowbro
Tapu Koko @ Electrium Z
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 152 Def / 12 SpD / 96 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Charge
- Reflect
- Wild Charge / Thunder
- Taunt
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 152 Def / 12 SpD / 96 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Charge
- Reflect
- Wild Charge / Thunder
- Taunt
The EVs help Koko in tanking Mega Metagross Meteor Mash and a +1 max Attack Flare Blitz from Mega Charizard X after Reflect is used.
- Charge increases Special Defense of the user, helping it in tanking Choice Specs Psychic Tapu Lele and some other Pokemon too. It also increases the power of the Electric-type move used in the next turn.
- Reflect helps in tanking Mega Metagross Meteor Mash and Mega Charizard X Flare Blitz. It also helps in tanking Let's Snuggle Forever from Mimikyu.
- Either Wild Charge or Thunder can be used in this set as the main Electric-type STAB move, though Wild Charge is the preferable one. Electrium Z powers it into a 175 Base Power(Z-Wild Charge) or 185 Base Power(Z-Thunder) Electric Z Move which can KO the required target. Here,Wild Charge is preferable because it can help in KOing Snorlax, which is a very recent, annoying threat in the 1v1 metagame.
- Taunt helps in shutting stall Pokemon like Jumpluff and Whimsicott down. It can also be used to prevent setting up of Pokemon like Mega Charizard X, Crustle against Koko.
So, after much discussion, some varied opinions, and much changing of usual sets to fit the required niche, the final team looks like this:
Mew @ Mewnium Z
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 200 HP / 128 Def / 120 SpA / 60 SpD

- Fake Out
- Nasty Plot
