  1. This team takes on the popular archetype of Mega Charizard X / Landorus-T / Celesteela / Tapu Fini teams by adding anti-meta picks in Mega Manectric and Garchomp. With its excellent speed tier, solid coverage, and access to Intimidate, Mega Manectric is a fantastic anti-lead that applies offensive pressure against common leads like Greninja, Tapu Koko, and Tapu Fini while also singlehandedly dismantling cores like Heatran/Ferrothorn/Landorus-T. In a format where good positioning is essential, Manectric also functions as an effective Volt Switch user that can pivot into either an early- or mid-game breaker like Calm Mind Waterium Z Tapu Fini or the team's defensive behemoth, Celesteela, to wall your foes and force a switch. Tapu Fini breaks through bulky PokΓ©mon such as Porygon2 and Ground-types like Hippowdon or Assault Vest Landorus-T to open the door for Manectric. It also offers speed control in the form of Icy Wind, useful against common setup threats like Mega Salamence or Mega Charizard X, allowing Mimikyu or Garchomp to revenge kill them. Mimikyu and Scarf Garchomp provide the team with two solid options for late-game revenge sweepers, while Mega Gengar operates as an anti-stall measure. Although the team does require some aggressive playing and positioning to reach its full potential, it is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise fairly solidified metagame.
