Scythear
Holy fuck. I actually thought he was my weakest link heading into the E4, boy was I wrong. He ended up solo sweeping multiple battles on the back half. If you're able to set up with just 1 or ideally 2 sword dances, everything it faces is in big trouble. Add to that a self-healing STAB attack, useful type coverage, great speed, and only 1 weakness (albeit a 4x weakness). The thing is an absolute monster.

Certainly could be a frustrating Pokemon to have in the main squad rotation at times. It can feel so fragile that you start mentally putting a tank in its place. Don't. Even if it could only utilize 2 move slots it is still worth it for its Dark and Fairy STAB crit shots alone. I tossed in Surf and Energy Ball for ideal coverage. Ended up coming in HUGE in prime time for the champ, sweeping the back half of her team with crit shots when I thought it was a probable wipe.

Hits like an absolute truck and has quite possibly the 2 most useful Types for the E4 with Ground and Ghost. I am still yet to see anything survive a hit from Shadow Bone. My only gripe is that it doesn't really have access to any healing moves (such as Leech Life is to Scythear for example) and it could seem fragile sometimes due to it's 5 type weaknesses.

Manatank
We all know what kind of mon Manatank is at this point. Let him get set up with Bulk Up and watch him fuck everything in his path with 2 priority STAB attacks. The first battle was really the only battle he was able to get rolling in though. Without setup and the set I was running with him, he was underwhelming and took a back seat to my heavy hitters in crunch time.
Warudio
Great lead off hitter. Dark typing once again is very useful for the E4. Love his gimmicky ability and it allowed him to hit hard and fuck off onto the bench to heal up. He was too fragile though and seemed to not be able to tank a single super effective
