Mega Absol is my favorite Pokemon and I thought it would be really cool to build a team around it. This is mostly a balanced team and can really be useful against all play styles as I have gone through testing it. If anyone has any suggestions or feedback on how to make this team better, it would be greatly appreciated.
Absol-Mega @ Absolite
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Knock Off
- Play Rough
- Superpower
The main focus of the team, it hits a lot of the meta game really hard. It packs Protect, so you don't have to rely on Sucker Punch when Mega Evolving, Knock Off as primary move with play rough and superpower to hit threats that it can't hit with Knock Off suck as Tyranitar and Keldeo.
Landorus-Therian (M) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 8 SpD / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
This is the standard Landorus-T that can allow Mega Absol to actually take a hit from a physical attacker and also is able to make sweeps easier for the rest of the team with Stealth Rocks, provides initiative with slower U-Turns, provides great STAB with Earthquake, and is able to handle Talonflame, who is an issue for this team.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 176 Def / 80 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Soft-Boiled
- Thunder Wave
- Moonblast
Clefable is the best sweeper in the game, this moveset allows it to be pretty much every mon in the metagame. Plus Thunder Wave helps the hard hitters such as Keldeo and Mega Absol have a much easier time beating up frailer, faster teams.
Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def / 30 SpD
- Hydro Pump
- Scald
- Secret Sword
- Hidden Power [Bug]
Choice Specs Keldeo has very limited switch ins and pairs very well with Mega Absol because it can handle the Latis. It is a pokemon that can basically get a kill every time you switch it in after its counters are taken out because it just hits that hard.
Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 168 Def / 92 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA / 30 Spe
- Spore
- Giga Drain
- Clear Smog
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Amoongus is a great pivot because it can take hits that most other mons on the team can and recover it all off with giga drain or a switch. Clear Smog also eliminates many set up sweepers and hidden power fire is for scizor that it can't really do to much against as far as eliminating set ups.
Latios (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Psyshock
- Roost
- Defog
Latios is able to remove hazards that can bug this team, meaning that Mega Absol's Magic Bounce doesn't have to be relied upon for hazard control. It also switches in on Mega Zard Y, which is another problem for this team. Life Orb Draco and Psyshock are also very hard hitting moves.
