AFK + Persian - 101239 - Apr 7, 2017

I'm building a team for the international tourney on Pokemon gl, so I made this team. So far, my win-lose ratio is 8-3 and I am looking for a way to improve it.

Quote:
Tapu Fini @ Wiki Berry
Ability: Misty Surge
Level: 50
EVs: 236 HP / 84 Def / 140 SpA / 20 SpD / 28 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Muddy Water
- Moonblast
- Protect

The first part of the AFK core. I was going to do weakness policy originally but I decided to opt for pinch Fini, and it has helped me a lot more.

Quote:
Kartana @ Scope Lens
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 52 HP / 124 Atk / 4 Def / 76 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Sacred Sword
- Substitute
- Detect

Second part of the AFK core. Heard scope lense was good, so this is why its here.

Quote:
Arcanine @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 52 Atk / 4 Def / 164 SpD / 36 Spe
Careful Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Extreme Speed
- Helping Hand
- Protect

The third part of the AFK core. This is pinch because that helps me more than firium z, but I am not sure if I should switch for that. I like Helping Hand a lot. It helps.

Quote:
Gigalith @ Rockium Z
Ability: Sand Stream
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Stone Edge
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Protect

AFK's biggest problem is trick room, it practically hard counters it (well maybe not fini but still.) So I needed a way to fight that outside of Persian. I was going to do snorlax but I would need to set up curse to go slower and I'm not sure if I would be ko'ed before that. I think I could run AV instead of Rockium Z though.

Quote:
Garchomp @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Rough Skin
Level: 50
EVs: 36 HP / 252 Atk / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Poison Jab
- Earthquake
- Fire Fang
- Rock Slide

I wanted something to benefit from the sandstorm Gigalith sets and also something to help counter AFKs weaknesses. Obviously the best option would be Garchomp. I really like Choice scarf because I get to outspeed all of my counters and take them out first.

Quote:
Persian-Alola @ Darkinium Z
Ability: Fur Coat
Level: 50
EVs: 4 HP / 20 Def / 44 SpA / 204 SpD / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fake Out
- Dark Pulse
- Taunt
- Parting Shot

Something I wanted to try out on the team. Parting shot is pretty cool.Thanks in advance!
