🐞 pinsir (L: 35): falco is going to start off with pidgeotto (L: 33) with the following moveset:
gust: 40 power | x4 super effectiveness + STAB feather dance lowers target attack stat by 2 twister 40 power | x2 super effectiveness | STAB roost heals half of user hp
pidgeotto is going to try to k.o pinsir as quickly as possible with flying type moves whilst keeping his hp up for the next round. we'll be using a combination of gust > twister > roost, then rinse and repeat until pinsir is out. with roost i believe pidgeotto will stay for the next round, so onto that—
🐞 heracross (L: 37): pidgeotto has a little less leveling here, so once heracross is out, we'll be switching to shiinotic (L: 40) with the following:
ingrain restores a bit of user hp at the end of every turn dazzling gleam 80 power | x2 super effectiveness | STAB giga drain 75 power | restores user hp | STAB sleep powder puts target to sleep
since heracross has fairy disadvantage thanks to being part fighting type, we are going to set up with sleep powder > dazzling gleam. at some point phantom will set up an ingrain to have that extra hp every turn, and to keep the hp beautiful and green we might occasionally use a giga drain if need be. even if heracross wakes up, a few more dazzling gleams should keep it out of commission soon. and then we have . . . the big guy.
🐞 scizor (L: 40) falco will keep in shiinotic to at the very least put this bad boy to sleep. not certain if this will work, but once sleep is in place, falco will switch to growlithe (L: 28). i know! that's like . . . more than ten levels lower, but he is pleading that it will be enough to at least wear scizor down, especially with shiinotic's sleep. growlithe will use the following:
flame wheel 10% burn chance | 60 power | x4 super effectiveness | STAB fire fang 65 power | 10% burn chance | x4 super effectiveness | STAB ember 10% burn chance | 40 power | x4 super effectiveness | STAB leer lowers target defense by one stage
with scizor asleep, we're going to start off with leer to break this dude's defenses just a little bit. with that out of the way, kindle will then give more focus to using flame wheel and fire fang. once scizor wakes up, this will still be kept up for as long as possible— might even get lucky enough to get a burn in before growlithe is k.o'd (which i don't expect to take long once sleep powder loses effect). with growlithe out and scizor worn down by the fire type attacks, falco will then be using the rest of what pidgeotto and shiinotic have to offer. hopefully it's enough!
