Breeding like hell whilst I can. My team will consist of:

Mega Banette
Chandelure
Gourgeist
Spiritomb
Aegislash
And I can't decide on the last one. Instead of the generic ideas of Sableye, I'm debating a fast focus sash user like Mismagius. What do you think?

I've played a little on showdown and the only sableye I've seen so far is focus sash swagplay. I've been trying out the exact same team as you with my sixth poke being sash gengar

I wouldn't use disable, this meta is too fast and you'll prolly get KO'd with another move. I'm currently testing out knock off, sucker punch, phantom force, destiny bond

Currently not really, I've tried sucker punching, failing and then getting crippled beyond belief. I haven't done calcs yet but shadow sneak may be good enough to replace SP in this meta

I'm running Tank Sableye.
Lum Berry, Will o Wisp, Calm Mind, Recover, and Dark Pulse.
I baton pass from Drifblim and I rape anything, the only counter is Aegislash, so I run Chandelure as a hard counter to that, with sunny day for a Trevenant if I so wish.

that's the rest/sleep talk/calm mind/dark pulse set right? wouldn't taunt almost shut it down assuming it hasn't set up a calm mind?

>>21348167
I'm definitely going to keep phantom force and shadow sneak on mine. destiny bond I'll probably use, but the 4mss is real.

I've seen a lot of spec's Gengar myself, but he can't OHKO my Drifblim, and with Sitrus Unburden, he has enough HP to sub, and minimize if the sub isn't broken, and just baton pass the one minimize if it is.

Watch out for taunt sableye to destroy yours. Also no need for sludgebomb on gengar in the meta
>>21348302
Yeah but the only pokemon running taunt is going to be sableye so if you shut that down you're going to destroy
>>21348312
taunt sableye owns drifblim
>>21348339
Because it's very difficult to differentiate between forms for the system

I'm thinking of running a bulky Mega Banette with

It probably sounds silly, but I wanna see how it'd do.

how about mental herb crotomb instead? guaranteed to get up a calm mind against m banette and sableye. I wouldn't do it when up against a gengar though.

while it would do that, I currently haven't run into any imprison pokes. But every ghost should be able to learn another ghost/dark move not named shadow ball, shadow sneak, or sucker punch
