Celebi @ Colbur Berry
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Energy Ball
- Psychic
- Recover
- Nasty Plot
Celebi is a very good partner for Entei, mostly under the fact that it deals with offensive and defensive Water-types incredibly well. This specific set is great for luring in Mega Sharpedo (which under normal circumstances, beats Entei). It also has the added benefit of being able to take on faster Ground-types such as Krookodie and the rare Dugtrio which gives Entei massive headaches. Recover is a pretty cool tech that gives it the capacity to continue to consistently check Waters over the course of a match and improve its longevity greatly.
Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Swift Swim
Happiness: 0
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 248 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Power-Up Punch
- Rain Dance
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
M-pert pairs well with band-entei, entei destroys grass types and pretty much all of the mons that run grass coverage while pert breaks through fat mons with pup and takes on krook and other grounds. 248 neutral speed beats scarf darm in the rain and doesnt miss out on anything i really need to out speed excpt scarf-ape. This core would pair very well with celebi to make a fwg core as they all have great offensive presents and check eachothers weaknesses.
Aerodactyl-Mega @ Aerodactylite
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Hone Claws /pursuit
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Aerial Ace
don't know how to do sprites lol
Mega Aero appreciates entei burning bulky water types, making it easier for aero to sweep lategame. entei can also force in arcanine and chandelure which aero can double switch in and get initiative on. alternatively u can run pursuit to be a better support partner for entei rather than the other way around. das pretty much it lol
Voting ends Monday.Nominating Entei itself. It's the best Pokémon and does not need anyone else*.
Otherwise, nominating Empoleon
Empoleon Bonaparte(Empoleon)@Shuca Berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 252 HP / 244 SpD / 12 Spe
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Scald
- Defog
- Grass Knot
Empoleon brings everything Entei could dream of. Rocks helps to keep the offensive pressure, while defog/spin is almost mandatory to keep Entei healthy.
Empoleon switches and defog on every Suicune/Alomomola out there. It resists draco meteor from Hydreigon. It checks Aerodactyl. Grass knot and 12 EVs Speed allows it to outspeed and hit hard defensive mega swampert. Coupled with the burn from sacred fire, the opposing defensive cores will just fall apart.
Leftovers and/or Roar are perfect alternatives if you don't need the shuca or gknott (which are more situational)
*assuming it's named Mr. Fahrenheit
Metagross @ Life Orb/Shuca Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Meteor Mash
- Earthquake
- Explosion
Metagross provides Stealth Rock, a good Sylveon check and an Ice resist, what's really useful to this core since it lacks good answers to Sylveon and other Fairies. Earthquake deals with Poison-types and Explosion is a really cool option to worn down or even OHKO bulky Pokémon like Suicune and Swampert. Metagross' Dark and Ground weaknesses are easily covered by both Conkeldurr and Hydreigon.
Crobat @ Sky Plate
Ability: Infiltrator
EVs: 112 HP / 252 Atk / 144 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Taunt
- Roost
Crobat is an excellent partner for this core. First off, it patches up the weaknesses the two have spectacularly well, most notably the Fairy and Fighting weakness. It also provides a method of pivoting with U-turn and Taunt is great for keeping defensive backbones low. Overall it's a pretty darn good partner that brings a great amount of utility in 1 slot..
Nidoqueen @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 128 HP / 252 SpA / 128 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Sludge Wave
- Earth Power
- Taunt
It's pretty obvious that the best partners for this core are Fairy resists, and Nidoqueen provides that while setting Stealth Rock, checking Fighting-types, providing an Electric immunity and being an especially good wallbreaker alongside Hydreigon and Conkeldurr. Almost everything on this set is standard; the EV spread outruns Modest Sylveon while hitting as hard as possible, Stealth Rock and dual STABs are staples on every offensive Nidoqueen. Taunt is a special tech for keeping Blissey and Cresselia from healing, which is appreciated by Hydreigon and Conkeldurr, respectively.
Voting ends on Monday.
