>>58703239When I see Xerneas or Ampharos running around with screens up actively avoiding combat, I just ignore them and go and fight someone who's conscious. Running around not fighting gets them no kills, so trying and most likely failing to chase them down is just wasting time that you could be using to actually rack up kills.
>>58702447Mixed is probably doable when your pokemon gets one-shot by extremely common attacks even with hp investment.
I'm running 252 atk + 252 sp.atk on my Simisear for a number of reasons. For pure damage, I can Flare Blitz and then Overheat something back-to-back. It being mixed makes it more versatile: I can switch it in to one-shot physically defensive Steel-types (Metagross/Steelix/Mega Aggron) with Overheat or boosted Heat Wave, while it can still do decent damage to Calm Mind users with Flare Blitz. For Excadrill specifically, at close range, it's Drill Run will ohko Simisear before Overheat comes out, but Flare Blitz is as fast as Drill Run, so it at least lets me trade 1-for-1.
I'm also running 252 atk + 252 sp.atk Aurorus for Stone Edge, since it gets zero special Rock-type moves and I needed a team member that could cover Garchomp and fire types
