>>16380354Oh how I wish I had access to superpower...
brick break is it for fighting coverage atm
I've never been a fan of banded scizor, I feel like people don't expect him to set up as much as they expect the CB set. I prefer using the choice item on greninja simply because he's frail and usually ends up wanting to switch out after a kill. Where as scizor is bulkier and capable of sweeping. Scizor is also a big part of the core of this team so I don't want him locked in as switching him out later can be a problem.
Charizard X fills the same niche that salamence used to fill in a similar team I used in gen4, A mixed DD sweeper with great coverage and the addition of STAB overheat, (which is the reason for the spread). After one DD hes faster than most things that like to revenge him and Is virtually unwallable. Also his typing is essential to cover scizor's weakness, which is why i try to mega ASAP. Y simply has no place in this team, Id sooner switch to haxorus and pick up another fire type.
LO greninja is great and I love being able to utilize his coverage and portean ability to the fullest, however the recoil damage usually makes him a single shot glass cannon that gets one good oppurtunity at a sweep before hes KOd. I like mixed sets but greninjas physical movepool doesn't impress me as much. I may try an expert belt or sash.
The odd spreads are to put them at specific speed tiers
>>16380657I've used pursuit in that slot in the past and I think im gonna try it again. I just hate that it loses technician bonus on a switching mon. and that despite technician its base damage is still kinda weak for what I use it on, things like aegislash. fighting move is absolutely necessary for coverage, otherwise hes walled by steels as well as other common threats in addition to his usual counters. I may try some of your suggestions for greninja however.
