Venusaur Weavile Semi-Stall

by LittleBigPlanet, WillOfFire

The team focuses on setting up two bulky win conditions: Mega Venusaur and Manaphy. They complement each other both offensively and defensively: Venusaur handles threats like Thundurus, other Electric-types, and Serperior that trouble Manaphy, while Manaphy pressures Heatran, Scizor, and other obstacles for Venusaur. Spreading paralysis benefits both setup sweepers since they're not too fast, and possibly giving them free turns. Weavile plays a key role in trapping and removing threats like Thundurus, as well as the Mega Twins, which Venusaur and Manaphy struggle against. Game-wise, if the situation calls for it, you can be aggressive with your win conditions to break holes and put yourself in an winning position, especially with the help of Healing Wish from Chansey. Otherwise, patience will often pay. EVs: Zapdos and Excadrill aim to outspeed Adamant Bisharp, while Venusaur stays above Adamant Crawdaunt. Manaphy wants to tank Seismic Tosses with his Subsitute, with Speed for offensive Mega Scizor. Exca is specially defensive to improve longevity vs fairies like Clefable, but could shift in defense to handle more effectively the threatening Bisharp and Weavile. For options, consider Protect > HP Ice on Zapdos to scout Weavile, HP Fire > Synthesis on Venusaur for coverage, Psychic > Energy Ball on Manaphy for Mega Venusaur/Amoonguss. Lastly, shifting 104 EVs to Defense on Venusaur helps avoid a 2HKO from Choice Band Jolly Weavile’s Icicle Crash.
