Manectric Spikes BO

by Garay Oak

The team is centered around overwhelming the opponent with spikes combined with threats that force switches pretty aggressively. Mega Manectric can be hard to switch into if the enemy doesn't have the right tools. The downside is if the enemy does have the right tools, it feels very useless. HP Grass Keldeo is a potential way to lure Water/Ground types that otherwise wall Manectric. Keldeo is a good partner because it picks off certain pokemon like Clefable or Rotom after a bit of chip from Manectric. It also is great at coming in on Heatran or Chansey that love to come in on Manectric. Heatran and Ferrothorn finish off the FWG core and with Landorus complete hazards core. Taunt + Magma Storm Heatran is a great asset against stall which Mega Manectric can struggle with. Scarf Latios is a potential late game cleaner and revenge killed, but could also be used as emergency defog or emergency trick versus certain threats like Volcarona if not in range of Psyshock. Keldeo EVs are designed to live +1 Giga Drain from Timid non-LO Volcarona. Ferrothorn's EVs OHKO Mega Alakazam with Gyro Ball. Chople berry is used to tank Alakazam's and Thundurus's Focus Blast. Heatran outspeeds Bisharp while remaining bulky and offensive. Some threats include opposing Spikes and Volcanion, so be careful in those matchups.
