Xerneas @ Power Herb
Ability: Fairy Aura
EVs: 168 Def / 252 SpA / 88 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Geomancy
- Moonblast
- Thunder
- Focus Blast
This is the heart of my team. Considering how well Power Herb Xerneas has done in 2016 and how well it would do in Sun Series I decided to base my team around him.
Incineroar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Atk / 60 SpD
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Snarl
He makes a great partner for Xerneas my scaring off one of his biggest checks: Ferrothorn. He can also intimidate + fake out on switch in and use knock off to predict switch ins.
Landorus-Therian @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Rock Slide
- U-turn
- Superpower
Being a scarf holder with only attacking moves he beats out Taunt users like Tornadus. He can also stack his intimidate with Incineroar's and use Rock Slide to read switch ins and protect. Other than that he also provides some more type coverage.
Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
- Sunsteel Strike
- Photon Geyser
- Trick Room
- Morning Sun
The other restricted legendary on my team. Weakness policy counters Knock Off and the steel typing with physical attacks checks Xerneas and the Tapus. Photon Geyser can also be a Special Attack if he gets Intimidate stacked.
Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Atk / 76 Def / 140 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip
- Leech Seed
- Protect
He's the check to my team's biggest threat being Kyogre. He can also combo with Necrozma's Trick Room and use Leech Seed as a late game stall move.
Amoonguss @ Red Card
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 244 HP / 76 Def / 188 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Rage Powder
- Spore
- Clear Smog
- Protect
Rage powder does what it's meant to do when paired with Xerneas but I can't find myself using him well.
