[GUILD] Elemental Elites
Noah_Road:
Unluckily for the Fairy Types, Scizor is a huge threat against them. Heatran comes in second and gives my simulator teams a ton of trouble if Azumarill is KO'd. Crobat is also amazing with Infiltrator but luckily can't do anything to my in-game/simulator Mawile since Crobat can't get Heat Wave until the Pokebank opens.
I've noticed that as long as I keep my Azumarrill (now gets both Belly Drum and Aqua Jet) and Mawile core alive, I can hard check Scizor, physical Lucario, Heatran, Crobat, and Machamp. The combination of Azumarrill's Water typing and Mawile's Intimidate softens the physical weakness. Filter Mime also kinda helps me check Scoliopede but I have to play super carefully if it packs Poison Jab....which its not running much on in-game battles for some reason. Theoretically, I could counter Crobat with Gardevoir if I ran a scarf on her instead of Gardevoirite, but its a shaky counter at best.
After playing and testing a bit more today, I've found that defensive Togekiss can tank a Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor and CB Scizor and still KO with Fire Blast. Assault Vest Scizor on the other hand can potentially survive a Fire Blast and 2HKO me.
Nidoking, Aggron, and Metagross are all thankfully way too slow to be too threatening. The Steel Type nerf was also much appreciated as my Gardevoir can now hit Metagross for SE damage with Shadow Ball and doesn't have to rely on the now 60 BP Hidden Power Fire to take on Steel Types.
My updated biggest threats would now be:
Assault Vest Scizor
Crobat
Goodra (if it carries Sludge Wave. It tanks a lot of my team's moves)
Physically based mixed Mega Lucario
I'll keep testing and see what else I can find about fairies.

Fox, you may definitely want to look in to mega heracross.
Skill Link + PinMissle/ArmThrust/FuryAttack/BulletSeed + 185 base attack + great bulk makes it quite a monster.
I've been using a bulky build with bulk up on the sims and it has been destroying things.
Although this build does good on it's own. I have been able to baton pass speed to it 6 times now and every time it was simply...game over.
With it's bulk it is rather easy to pass speed to.
Pin Missle is it's greatest attack, being base 125 power + stab. Breaks subs/sashes/sturdy
Chad29:
Heracross with skill link sounds beastly.
Has anyone tried out the water types yet? I've been having some trouble getting the simulator to work, and I\m curious about the pistol shrimp one, as well as the new water/rock type. It's weird looking, but if it's a good pokemon I will overlook its appearance.
Roloc:
Sadly, skrelp evolves into dragalge which is poison/dragon. It loses it's water type. On the bright side though it's the first poison/dragon type.
Clawizter however is a beast. It has base 125 special attack and the mega launcher ability which makes pules and aura moves 1.5 power.
So as you can imagine, it hits hella hard with water pulse, dragon pulse, dark pulse and aura sphere. Having mega launcher basically means it gets stab boost on dragon/dark pulse and aura sphere. Plus you get to use water pulse over surf since they are the same power thanks to its ability.
As far as the water/rock poke, I'm not sure. It's stats seems like it could be an okay poke to use but other then that I don't know. I haven't looked into its move pool.
Chad29:
Thanks. At first I was wondering how Skrelp would compare to Tentacruel, but I noticed it evolves into a dragon type. I'm afraid I don't get why they decided to make the seahorses dragon types. They also made mega Gyarados a dark type instead of dragon. WHY?
Anyway, I'm glad Clawizter is a good one.
