Greninja is a bigger threat than ever with Gunk Shot, Mega Salamence is a bit hard to take down.

>>2748
Gunk Shot Greninja, Mega Salamence and support Gardevoir would make a great team I guess? Maybe add one like Aegislash?

Is facade mence actually a thing? Haven't played ORAS rating battles yet due to being busy.

>>2762
i'd think double edge or possibly headbutt would work pretty well. i realize facade is base 140 but only if inflicted with status while double edge would be 120 all the time.

and of course all normal attacks gain +50% stab and +30% aerilate boost in this case

>>2763
thinking about this more, possible doubles strategy could work with facade if it's partnered with a WoW'er. of course that ends up crippling everything but facade.. and i guess you could also thunderwave it but the slowness kinda messes things up. and also even though it does hit hard on the opponents, you may need to run a ghost type partner to avoid damage right??

>>2764
and nvm, ghost type won't avoid damage as it becomes a flying type attack. so either protecting or partner with massive flying resistance would be the only viable partners unless the goal is to not care about killing your own team in the process

What about EV investments with Mega-mence? HP and S.Def?

Facade works amazingly well with a pokemon that has the Guts ability, because not only does it buff damage once they have a status, it also negates the attack reduction from burn. I used to run a Facade sweeping guts conkledurr on a trick room team. it raped faces.

Other pokemon with guts include
Machop line
Flareon
Heracross
Ursaring
Tyrogue
Larvitar
Rattata line (top percentage)
Tailow line
Makuhita line
Shinx line
Timburr line
Throh
