Interesting team, I may try using Night Slash instead of Crunch because of the increased critical hit ratio. I recently put Taunt on my Drapion and it's worked out pretty well for me. It has helped me end those dumb prediction games with aegislashes, I love the fact that King Shield doesn't protect against Taunt! Not to mention it also helps me deal with annoying pranksters like Klefki and stop trick room set-ups using bulky Psychic-type Pokemon like Slowbro and Reuniclus.

My current Drapion also has a Jolly Nature, which helps him out-speed a lot of stuff. He can even out speed a Mega Garchomp, provided it isn't the first turn Garchomp mega-evolved, and non timid Delphoxs. The speed coupled with Rock Slide means that sometimes I can get that lucky flinch, which can turn the battle around.

Now that bank is out and I'm working on getting it set up now, I'll have a break down of all of my team builds.

I really like your ideas. I'll have a new discussion next week for a poison type that I'm going to give a lot of thought into over this weekend.

[Ludo]

Sounds good, I'm probably going to finish my Fighting Team by this weekend. If you want we can do a few battles. I want to see if some of my strange Hawlucha ideas work out like I'd hope they would.

[Gollumbells]

Scolipede gets speed boost now if I remember. That will most certainly be a very very good option for your team.

Adamant

Swords dance - Protect, 2x Attacking Moves

How much do you want to bet that one of those attack moves is going to be Rock Slide? lol

[Player1]

lol!! That's exactly what I've been breeding today! I traded Dan one of my extra Jirachi's for a speed boost Venopede. It's gonna have Protect, SD/Iron Defense/X-Scissor/Baton Pass, Rock Slide. Can't fully decide what I want Scolopede to do so I may have a couple on stand by just to see.

Baton Pass for Toxicroak, Venusaur, Nidoking, Drapion, or Muk (Amazing after the support, with balloons, Poison Jab and Fire Punch O.o)

[Gollumbells]

Hah.

I certainly would pack that rock slide as well.

Most likely poison tail as well... His only realy decent poison attack.

[Ludo]

Actually I've seen a lot of people use Poison Jab rather than tail, since it has higher base damage and a higher chance of poisoning the target. Megahorn is a popular choice too.

[Gollumbells]

When I looked at the move list, I did not see Poison Jab. My bad xD.

[UnholyxDrGL]

If you ever need any help with Poison ideas ....... I have some great ones .... including my Toxi Tenta start ..... just dominates lol

[Player1]

I have a Toxicroak and Tentacruel lead set up. I do love it! Especially if you have a Drapion sitting back to switch in on a psychic attack headed for Toxicroak.

[UnholyxDrGL]

Lol I wouldn't even switch Fakeout or sucker punch could mostly kill the common threats lol

[Alex]

After fighting your team, I don't think leech seed is the best option for mega venusaur in doubles. The poison types you have really force a lot of switches so the leech seed doesn't stick. I know it's difficult, but getting hp fire (or ice) I think is the best option over it.
