Focus blast for those pesks like tyranitar, heatran, etc. I was ALMOST wanted to switch this to Earthquake, but I realized that it only really hit heatran hard here. Low kick was another choice, but under use I just got more KO's with Focus Blast.
DOUBLES NOTE: I just wanted to mention this, it's too early to tell if it's viable to make a team over or not. But I was playing some custom matches with friends and I was running a sun team with a mild nature and had rock slide, solarbeam, energy ball, and dragon pulse and KO'd my friends charizard Y with the rock slide, took out his salamence with the dragon pulse, and took out rotom w with the solar beam. Sunny day team mega sceptile with solar beam perhaps? Have to see how the meta goes first.
OK SO BASICALLY THIS IS YOUR BEST SET:
Sceptile-Mega @ Sceptilite
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 48 HP / 252 SpA / 208 Spe
Mild Nature
- Rock Slide
- Earthquake
- Focus Blast
- Solar Beam
#48 HP to survive a -2 Choice Specs Hyper Voice Sylveon
-2 252+ SpA Choice Specs Pixilate Sylveon Hyper Voice vs. 48 HP / 0 SpD Mega Sceptile: 126-150 (83.4 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
#208 Spe EVs hits 191 Speed which is the same as Greninja's (....wait... why do we even have to speed tie with Greninja when we can outspeed it...)
#Rock Slide to "KO" M-Charizard Y
0 Atk Mega Sceptile Rock Slide vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Charizard Y: 112-136 (72.7 - 88.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-1 0 Atk Mega Sceptile Rock Slide vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Mega Charizard Y: 72-88 (38.9 - 47.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
#Earthquake "only for Heatran"
0 Atk Mega Sceptile Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 116-140 (69.4 - 83.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 Atk Mega Sceptile Earthquake vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Shuca Berry Heatran: 58-70 (34.7 - 41.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
#Focus Blast has a 70% chance to OHKO Tyranitar, M-Kangaskhan and so on. Why? BECAUSE IT IS A 70 ACCURACY MOVE.
#Solar Beam, best Grass type move coverage against Rain teams
252+ SpA Mega Sceptile Solar Beam vs. 252 HP / 40+ SpD Politoed: 216-254 (109.6 - 128.9%) -- guaranteed you have to charge your attack on turn 1 because of Rain anyway
I like the idea of mixed mega sceptile... .but I don't know if it's the best set for sceptile really. The original set Rogue put up was to maximize on sceptile's special attack and to get the most out of it. When you run something like Mega Sceptile you just gotta assume that your team is gonna need an option or two for guys like MegaZard Y.
Also did you mean sun teams talking about Solar Beam? Because even if that was just a typo I still think it's foolish to make it your only grass stab for any situation that doesn't involve opposing sun teams
