Team Building madness

Trying to build a bomb team while we wait for the final content! Here’s what I’ve got so far. I’m thinking about wanting to add a Greninja because I’ve always wanted to experience all the hype about him, but I have no idea where he would go, or his build. Big fan of Aegislash, I want to keep him. Also, Slowking is one of my fav, so I’d like to keep him if possible as well.

Gengar - Levitate - Gengarite; Dazzling Gleam, Venoshock, Shadow ball, dark pulse Tyranitar - Unnerve - Tyranitar Armour; Aerial ace, earthquake, stone edge, crunch Slowking - Oblivious - (idk item to use); Nasty plot, trump card (need to get rid of it), scald, psychic Togekiss - Serene grace - (idk item to use); silver wind, aura sphere, ancient power, air slash D. gardevoir - clear body - life orb; calm mind, ice beam, thunderbolt, livewire Aegislash - stance change - (leftovers); shadow sneak, swords dance, kings shield, sacred sword

Any tips or recommendations?

Give Togekiss a king’s rock for flinching madness.

Leftovers for Slowking maybe? And try to see what hidden power it has. If it’s bug, it’d be handy.

Your team is pretty nice overall!

A few suggestions-

Gengar: Replace Venoshock with Sludge Wave (or Bomb). 9 times out of 10 the enemy will not be poisoned (especially considering none of your mons are running toxic), which means Sludge Wave will be the superior move. Also consider replacing Dark Pulse with something like Taunt or Destiny Bond, because Dark is redundant coverage when you have Shadow Ball to hit ghosts and psychics harder.

Tyranitar: Sand Stream is the far superior ability on TTar because it grants an additional 1.5x bonus to SpDef (on top of the armor’s 1.3x bonus). Aerial ace is pretty useless due to its low base power, so consider some additional coverage like Ice Fang or Superpower if its possible to get that.

Slowking: If it’s too late to find a Regenerator Slowpoke and learn Slack Off, then I would recommend replacing Trump Card with Fire Blast. Also, Leftovers is usually a safe bet for bulkier pokemon.

Togekiss: Teach it Dazzling Gleam in place of Silver Wind after you beat Harmony in Sonata City. Ancient Power could also be replaced by Fire Blast or something because it’s a pretty gimmicky move.

D. Gardevoir: Get the ability Lightning Rod if possible, otherwise looks good.

Aegislash: Iron Head > Sacred Sword just for STAB.

Good luck, the team looks cool!

I can make a Slowking like that for sure, i’ve got nothing better to do right now, haha. This also means I will be buying some ability capsules!
