So I had designed a team to be able to use Scolipede as a suicide lead. Any info on how to improve the sets would be great.
Scolipede (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Endeavor
- Poison Jab
- Megahorn
- Toxic Spikes
Scolipede is a great check for most leads with its ability to outspeed and chip with endeavor. It's ability allows it to outspeed most of the fairies in the meta and hit them with a powerful poison jab.
Magnezone @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Flash Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Magnezone is a great check to any flying types that want to revenge kill Pokemon like scolipede or tangrowth, and trap steel types to make it easier for scolipede to safely go for poison jab. It uses scarf to outspeed other non scarfed mons under 360.
Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Fire Blast
- Leech Seed
- Flash Cannon
With its great natural bulk, it can easily tank hits without anything but HP investment and can easily avoid ground types for Magnezone and tank poison that would hit Tangrowth. It also runs 2 stabs in Flash Cannon and Air Slash to damage most opposing Pokemon, while running Leach Seed for extra recovery and Fire Blast to take out common threats.
Tangrowth (M) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Giga Drain
- Earthquake
Tangrowth is a great check to most threats in the meta, being bulky enough to soak up damage and strong enough to chip away at anything that switches in on it. With great utility in Knock Off and recovery in Giga Drain and Regenerator, Tangrowth can easily keep pressure on an opponent without losing momentum.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp
Rotom is a good defensive Pokemon, being able to resist flying, fire, ice, and being completely immune to ground. It runs defog to remove any hazards that may break scolipede's sash or chip away at the rest of the team, all while being able to burn any Pokemon that want to switch in.
Landorus-Therian @ Rockium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
Simply a great Pokemon to pair with any team, with solid stats, a great ability, and a good movepool to use for a Z-crystal. Having 2 immunities in ground and electric makes for a great teammate for Celesteela, Magnezone, and Scolipede, while running Rockium Z and Hidden Power Ice to take on opposing Landorus and Tornadus that come in expecting an Earthquake.
