DPL XI Week 4: Purple Haze (vs tyo)

by GenOne ft. variationonatheme

I think this is my favourite new build that emerged from my DPL XI season. variationonatheme had passed me a very similar "Purple Rain Lele" team as a potential idea, but with Mega Swampert > Landorus-I and Genesect > Mega Metagross. I made those two swaps as I had been wanting to use Zen Headbutt Mega Metagross for a while, noting how it had been performing well and looking underrated in previous rounds of DPL XI (after all, why not make the tier's best Mega's best STAB 1.5x stronger??). I also felt that Landorus-I was more consistent at applying fast Ground-type offensive pressure without being at risk of weather disruption or Intimidate cycling. This team, slightly renamed "Purple Haze" to acknowledge my Jimi Hendrix PS! avi, performed extremely well for me and resulted in my most dominant win of the season.
