Any thoughts on if it could work? Lucario would be the phys sweeper to hopefully crush people. Scolipede to set up stuff and baton pass his speed. Chansey for the heals. Aegislash to tank and dish out some dmg. Espeon because of Magic Bounce. Tyranitar or Gyrados can't decide, but both would maybe trick opponents into thinking they're they ones holding the megastone. Plus they don't care about fire, unlike most of my steel team. do you want to run full baton or just single passes? because with single passes you need bulky receivers that cover each other's weaknesses so you can always pass for example, with dragonite + lucario or gyarados + lucario you can generally always pass to one of them, tank a hit, and start sweeping with full baton you need a very specific team comp Ok so Gyarados and Lucario would probably be my pick. I like Gyarados as a pokemon and I have been in love with Lucario since I got him during my playthrough. Such a cool Mega Evolution too. So in this instance I still have Scolipede as my baton passer but I pass to either Gyrados or Lucario depending on who they send out? yeah, because generally you'll have tank a hit on the baton before you can start sweeping if you're going to do that you probably don't want to bother with espeon. espeon is generally run on full baton teams; without a lot of boosts espeon's not that good other than scolipede/gyarados/scolipede you need 3 support/utility pokemon. ideally you want them to cover your bases defensively and lure out and wear down physically defensive walls like skarmory, slowbro, gliscor, etc. one of them should also be able to set out stealth rocks to make your sweep easier Ok scolipede/gyrados/lucario. How about Gigalith or Crustle as a stealth rock user? I prob want someone with aromatherapy or heal bell. So Chansey/Blissey/Someone else?? Then do I need a spinner of my own? If I run chansey/blissey I prob want a spinner right?
gigalith and crustle aren't that good, their typing is weak defensively and they don't have a great support movepool
you want pokemon that lay rocks and do useful things. for example mamo, garchomp, heatran, ferrothorn, ttar, etc lay rocks and are useful both offensively and defensively.
you don't need aromatherapy or heal bell on an offensive team, just make sure you have something to eat twave and willowisp. toxic shouldn't be an issue. also you should probably be running lum on gyarados anyway. you probably won't need a spinner either, since you shouldn't be switching very often with so many setup sweepers

Ok so the only stealth rock user available in XY is ferrothorn right? Like Tyranitar can't learn it except from Gen 5. Heatran isn't in XY yet Garchomp can't get it that I can find how. And Mamoswine can't learn it either like Tyranitar. I am trying to come up with an XY only team cause I don't play on the pokebank battle thing.
I guess Heat Rotom to eat Twave and wilowisp. Still could use a 6th...this team creating thing is hard lol. I haven't even started breeding yet.

Tyranitar can learn it if you breed a Tyrunt/Tyrantrum that knows it I think.
Actually, I think that's what I'll breed next cause someone else was looking for it here.

Omg, i finished EV training a perfect Blaziken but while leveling I realized he didn't have speed boost. TT I then looked into my reject pile and saw 80% of them had speed boost.  To make things worse I never managed to breed a 4IV female since they are so rare.
Well this is what I get for being a scumbag and wanting to run Blaziken...
edit: I would like a TRex reject if you are making them :p

I might just try to put the move on a Larvitar without stressing out on IVs too much. Not really too keen on running a Ttar on my team (or at least not yet)

oh rocks was a tm in dp so it was really easy to get. you'd just stick it on like nidoking and breed it to w.e you wanted. i haven't played cartridge since dp lol
ttar can probably get rocks via tyrantrum. garchomp probably can as well
mamoswine might require some roundabout breeding, tyrantrum -> nidoking -> mamo or something
there's a ton of other options for reliable rock setters, some of them might be pretty hard to get though. skarm, bronzong, forretress, etc are more defensive options, azelf, aerodactyl, terrakion, etc are more offensive options
smogon has a nice little article on hazards; it doesn't cover all the setters and it's a little outdated but it's still a nice read
http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/ou_hazards
i'd recommend you test out your teams online before breeding. not sure how much easier it is in xy but breeding in dp was impossible
by eating twave and wow i mean they just need to not be affected by it. for example on my team i run rotom-w and alakazam to eat will-o-wisp and rotom-w and scizor to eat twave. rotom-w doesn't mind being burned too badly; it chips away at his hp which is sometimes bad (against pokes i need him to wall like scizor and aegislash) but against most teams it's not that big of a deal. alakazam's immune to burn/toxic damage due to magic guard. scizor doesn't mind twave too much since he's already so slow. paralyze freezes are annoying sometimes but it prevents him from being burned so it's not too bad

I just realized. Now that Sandstorm only lasts a maximum of eight turns, I no longer have the option to abuse level 1 Shell Bell Endeavor Aron. What a shame. :/

For folks who need help with getting egg moves on certain Pokemon, I think: http://www.reddit.com/r/breedingbad/ might be a good place.
A friend tried it out and said he started a breeding chain from an egg move.
And I think pokemon people wanted (Stealth Rock Larvitar) are being posted over there.

Prankster rilou may still be available from the gimmick side of play. Also FEAR probably won't be going anywhere

Scolipede got buffed Attack and the Speed Boost ability, along with a now-viable Poison STAB that also gives it resistance to Fairy on top of its existing resistances.

Hi, does anyone have ditto in their friend safari? I'd love to get into breeding right about now : )

entry hazards are barely used in the current competitive formats. You would think 4x weakness to stealth rocks would deter talonflame, but it still remains the most popular pokemon currently played. Simply put, the setup turn is a free turn you gave to your opponent, and since the game is so fast paced, there are much fewer turns than that of say the smogon ou metagame, which makes each turn's value that much more significant. This is the reason why you don't see any team in vgc use hazards, since the pace is also signficantly faster in doubles.

Tyrunt can learn it too, infact he comes with the move alrdy known. He's the fossil pokemon you get when you choose the Jaw fossil.
