I'm seaching for something new to support M-Mence atm, in particular i want to test both Mesprit and Cobalion, which did some work in a past regional in this early VGC season if i remember correctly.
This is my first Mesprit set that i want to test:
Mesprit @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 12 HP / 252 SpA / 244 Spe
Timid Nature
- Ice Beam
- Psyshock
- Imprison
- Trick
@ Outspeeds Choice Scarf Adamant Land-T and gets the surprise OHKO with Ice Beam.
@ Imprison is not affected by Protect and i can use it to disable any Ice Beam from pokemon like Politoed, Ludicolo, Suicune and Milotic, which are threats for M-Mence. Trick can lock a pokemon into Protect, Tailwind or any move in my favour (i can also steal a Sitrus Berry from Politoed or Suicune in the process). I run Psyshock instead of Psychic because it can't OHKO Terrakion anyway, so i can just hit Sylveon for more damage.
It seems so weird to use but there are so many rain teams and Land-T/M-Mence/Garchomp around that this set might also work. I'll tell you in the next days :P
My Cobalion set is a standard Jolly Expert Belt with Safeguard as its third move.
