Questions:

1. Power-Up-Punch over Low Kick for Kangaskhan?

252 Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 12 HP / 0 Def Heatran: 192-228 (114.2 - 135.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

252 Atk Parental Bond Mega Kangaskhan Low Kick (100 BP) vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Mega Kangaskhan: 168-198 (92.8 - 109.3%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

With Fake Out, Low Kick will kill both. However Power-Up-Punch could be used for sweeping. Which is better for my team?

2. Trick Room for Cresselia?

I've got Sylveon who is slow, Heatran who isn't the fastest, and Rotom-Wash who also isn't the fastest. But is it good for my team?

3. Pixie Plate or Life Orb for Sylveon

Life Orb makes all attacks 1.3* while -1/10 for each attack

1       Choice Specs    61.7%
2	Pixie Plate	16.8%
3	Life Orb	12.1%

Yes Specs is most common but with Protect, I can disrupt many common pokemon like Bisharp who go for Iron Head onto it.

Pixie Plate makes Hyper Voice 216 base power, while Life Orb makes it 234, Shadow Ball 104 and Psyshock 104 base power.

Set Details:

Kangaskhan is a regular mega that outspeeds other Kangs and KILLS THEM with Low Kick.

Heatran outspeeds base 90 uninvested pokemon. Rest put for power and bulk.

Rotom-Wash survives:

252+ SpA Mega Charizard Y Solar Beam vs. 252 HP / 148+ SpD Rotom-W: 132-156 (84 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

and

252+ Atk Huge Power Mega Mawile Play Rough vs. 252 HP / 44 Def Rotom-W: 132-156 (84 - 99.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

while outspeeding univested Lando-T (uncommon but still possible) and putting the rest in SpA.

Lando-T outspeeds Timid Smeargle (no Dark Void haxs). Then it has max attack for max damage and 28 HP for odd number of HP and 4 Def/SpDef to add one point to each defense.

Cresselia survives:

252+ SpA Choice Specs Sylveon Shadow Ball vs. 252 HP / 164 SpD Cresselia: 94-112 (41.4 - 49.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

and

252+ Atk Choice Band Talonflame Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 20+ Def Cresselia: 94-112 (41.4 - 49.3%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

those are 3HKOs (nothing can OHKO Cresselia)

(just kidding)

252+ Atk Mega Heracross Pin Missile (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 20+ Def Cresselia: 250-300 (110.1 - 132.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

12 in speed to outspeed Rotom-Wash and rest in SpA.

Finally Sylveon with 12 speed to outspeed uninvested Tyranitar. Rest in SpA and bulk.
