Final #168 (R 2314)by T

Team Concept

A double build where every member shares either the Ghost or Dark type. The team's Normal/Psychic immunity combo builds a stable defensive base, with Mega Gengar and Hydreigon on the special side and Annihilape and Kingambit splitting the physical closing power. With so many layers of Normal/Psychic resistance stacked up, a plain Normal STAB alone can't break through this team.

Key Pokémon Points

Mega Gengar (Gengarite): A special ace with a Ghost/Poison combo that also comes with Shadow Tag trapping, pinning down the opponent's blocker so follow-up damage can land.

Sableye (Roseli Berry): A Dark/Ghost combo that firmly blocks Psychic pressure, and its Roseli Berry safely absorbs one special check.

Hydreigon (Life Orb): A secondary attacker whose Dark/Dragon special power breaks through dual-resist combos.

Basculegion (Focus Sash): A wall with a Water/Ghost combo that endures one hit for certain thanks to Focus Sash, absorbing a check before setting up a counterattack.

Annihilape (Leftovers): A dealer with a Fighting/Ghost combo that combines Normal immunity with physical power, sustained through the long game by Leftovers.

Kingambit (Black Glasses): A closer with a Dark/Steel combo that leans on Black Glasses to boost its Dark STAB, and its Steel resistance also holds up well against Fairy checks.
