How do I build a team around this guy?
He's the sweeper, of course. Bisharp's a candidate due to absorbing Defog and punishing the Latis (As well as a rock layer).
I need to know if there's a better rock-layer, some other fighters (I'm using Hyper Offensive/Balanced Singles), and a guy who can tank some Ghost-Dark attacks. A special sweeper is entirely necessary also, because what's a team without hitting everything?

this rmt is pretty cool, I've used it a bit, but HO really isn't my thing
>>22985716
- Hidden Power [Bug]
What for ?
>>22985743
Celebi
Also hits Latis aswell
>>22985749
Ice is 100% better then, isn't it ?
>>22985752
Nvm it fails to 2HKO celebi
My bad
>>22985716
>those nicknames
Holy holy
>>22985716
>sharp beak
Why not just Sky Plate? It gives more damage to flying moves.
>>22985716
Why no Choice Band for Talonflame?Otherwise, team looks cool. I feel, however, that Bisharp is better due to him having Priority. Then again, Thundurus has awesome speed that's not a Mega.
>>22986811
CB Talonflame isn't that good in this meta. Jolly SD is much better.
Since Landorus is still in OU, use Landorus for a Special Attacker (Specifically, the variant with Sheer Force.)
>>22989670
But he sucks. His speed doesn't outpace the competition as it did before, he has Garchomp's awful weakness and hates the rain, and overall, his Special movepool is seemingly lame (Earth Power, Focus Miss, Sludge Shit, and Psycrap are there for the boosts. Hidden Power Ice is only a last-ditch effort against fellow genies and certain Dragons.)
>>22986198
Fuck off
>>22990931
Ah, but you forgot one thing!
He cleans, and sometimes lands a kill. He's not meant to sweep, but to break shit. If you need something like MeGgron dead, Eath Power or Focus Blast.
He can kill things, you just need to git gud.
>>22990940
Nice counter-argument there, nerd.
>>22986198
Not sure if this is b8, but they both increase the power of flying type moves by 20%.
I personally think MegaMence is better as a Mega Sweeper, but I play on cartridge.
That being said, IF you're doing 3v3 Singles, Just go for Tflame, Megagross, and some Bulky sweeper (Special recommended).
Use him as a Lead Sweeper. Trust me, I made many OU players rage-quit because of this.
>Bisharp
He's seen so frequently, you're better off with Primeape, Purugly, or even Braviary. It's best to catch the guy off guard.
>>22991252
MegaMence? No torturous MeGar? No MegaMummy? Weak.
>>22985716
>keldeo started to run HP flying for m-venu
>then HP electric for gyara
>now bug for celebi
I can't wait to see the day where it starts carrying HP steel
megagross is not a sweeper man, hes revenge killer and late game clean up
>>22999789
I thought he was a wall breaker.
>>22999789
Not the original guy, but he seems to have sweeper-esque stats. Might just be me, but come on, it's movepool is slightly confusing if you leave out STAB, its Speed is awesome enough, and it has just enough bulk to eat a SE-STABless hit Specially, while Physically, he'll eat a Sucker Punch from non-boosted Bisharp.
Then again, I swept the floor with him on cartridge in the Battle Spot.

>Playing on cartridge.
Why?
