Amalgam Squad 1- A Mix-and-Mega RMT

So, I've decided to dabble in Mix-and-Mega, with the hopes of making a team that takes some not-so-viable Pokemon and making them more viable. This is my first time making a team of them, so here's hoping it holds up. So, without further ado...

I do not play this tier but my thoughts on your team are:

1) why not use Lopunnite on Electivire and STAB boost that Cross Chop?

2) Blissey is still hindered by Toxic. Is Sableyenite not better on it? That HP must not pose a problem even without the huge boost from Slowbronite

3) I would try Venusaurite on Klinklang to see how it fares with the fire and ice spam in this MnM

4) I like that Ferrothorn but better give it blue orb

[Tomas Elliot]

My main issue with this team is that Lopunnite Lando-T (or Lopunnite anything, really) utterly destroys it. To my count, you have 4 Fighting weaknesses and two resistances which, however, are weak to EQ and Stone Edge, moves that Lando-T (and most other Lopunnite users) carry as coverage.

Altarianite Entei is also very problematic, as you have no Fire resistances and the burn chance of Sacred Fire can prove lethal. Finally, status spread from stallbreakers like Mew can be very problematic.

My suggestions to solve these issues:

1) Use Blissey as a cleric with Sablenite

2) Use Ferrothorn as a physical wall with Blue Orb (thus removing the Fire weakness, and turning it into a decent check for Entei)

3) Replace Lapras with... Anything else, really. Anything non-Steel.

Okay. The Lapras was kind of the main reason I started this set, though. I don't think it has a fighting weakness, though, because it loses its secondary typing and becomes a pure water-type thanks to Aggronite. Is there any way I could improve it?

1) Good point. I'll try that.

2) Seems like a better idea, I'll try that.

3) I mainly used Scizorite because it gives Gear Grind a massive boost, turning it into a 150-BP move with no drawbacks. I'll have to see how it fares, though.

4) Thanks!

I don't think it has a fighting weakness, though, because it loses its secondary typing and becomes a pure water-type thanks to Aggronite.

Uh... To my knowledge, Aggronite gives you a Steel typing. Meaning that, if you are dual type Steel/something it makes you pure Steel, but if you are of some other type it adds Steel to your typing. So an Aggronite Lapras would become Water/Steel (or, God forbid, Ice/Steel, depending on which between Ice and Water is Lapras' primary type)...

EDIT: well what do you know, apparently I was wrong. So nevermind, Lapras can stay. But I stand by my point on the other two changes.
