Monotype No Mega Flying

[zugubu royale]

Yo check out this flying team. Got me to top 3 on the mono ladder so it has to be fresh in some way.

teambuilding process:

I tried out bulky d-nite because it has the potential to wall not only char y and victini but serve as a soft keldeo/ slowbro check and is unkillable with multiscale intact.

Torn is great for the psy and the grass matchup and it helps a lot vs water too.

You still lose to dragon monos but ay: Togekiss.

The specific set on this gliscor ensures the win vs steel and gives ground a lot of trouble.

This is like the actual core of the team. If you play this mon correctly, in theory only dark monos and some dragon monos can get up the stealth rocks that ruin every flying mono.

Standard Skarmory with Toxic over Whirlwind.

The Team:

Berry Trance (Dragonite) @ Leftovers
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 216 HP / 152 Atk / 76 Def / 64 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Roost
- Dragon Claw
- Power-Up Punch
- Thunder Wave

Bulky D-Nite is really dangerous. Let me show you some calcs:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Kingdra Draco Meteor vs. 216 HP / 0 SpD Multiscale Dragonite: 280-331 (74.2 - 87.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO;
252 Atk Choice Band Victini V-create vs. 216 HP / 76 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 88-104 (23.3 - 27.5%) -- 73.7% chance to 4HKO;
252+ Atk Choice Band Dragonite Outrage vs. 216 HP / 76 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 318-375 (84.3 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO;
And if that doesnt convince you enough you can always click the yellow button and start setting up.
Dragonite is also rather good vs the bisharp matchup which can be frustrating to deal with otherwise.

LIa87Z//u (Tornadus-Therian) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 96 HP / 160 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Heat Wave
- U-turn
- Knock Off
Yeah this is standard. Confuse em and U-turn.

Enola Kiss (Togekiss) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Dazzling Gleam
- Trick
- Fire Blast
Well atleast you can pressure the dragon Monos a little bit.

Sky-2-High (Gliscor) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 212 HP / 148 Def / 80 SpD / 68 Spe
Careful Nature
- Taunt
- Earthquake
- Roost
- Knock Off

So this set is what I want to talk about: Steel cant beat it.
If they have no scarf magnezone with hp ice or no ice coverage in general: They lose.
You taunt M Sciz, Bisharp, Ferro and Skarmory and start to Knock off/ Eq them all.
Gliscor is a must have for the ground matchup too, it walls lando is that lack hp ice and taunts hippowdon. You can describe this Gliscor as the second sr preventer basically.

Can u fly :( (Xatu) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 196 Def / 60 Spe
Impish Nature
- Thunder Wave
- Toxic
- Roost
- U-turn
The God of the the Team. Nothing besides Tyranitar and Garchomp can get up stealth rocks vs this beast. I made it phys def so it lives an Ice punch from mega medi. The speed is for zapdos and adamant loom, zapdos gets toxiced followed up by a safe u-turn in the gliscor. Psychic Monos randomly switch in their hoopas into it expecting an air slash and get ohkoed. But if this mon falls while your opponent still has his stealth rocker, you just lose.

氷菓 (Skarmory) @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 92 SpD
Impish Nature
- Iron Head
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
- Toxic/Whirlwind

If the opponent has a kyurem black you can switch into this, but you still lose because freeze exists.
I prefer toxic over whirlwind but you can use Whirlwind if you really fear bug monos or cloyster for some reason.

Threats:

Mega Medicham: You always lose a mon vs this.
Thundurus: If nasty plot, you are done for.
Doublade might not seem to be a threat but if you dont have whirlwind on
skarm and it has an sd up it gets tough to take down.
Band Mamo breaks flying, if its lo and doesnt get lucky skarm easily takes it down.
