Strategy

Standard Mega Sceptile and Heat-Rotom strategy where you Discharge with Rotom to give Mega Sceptile a SpA boost and try sweeping with Sceptile. I’ve added Mega Altaria rather than the usual Mega Floette for the fairy type coverage, but also as a counter to Mega Swampert rain teams. You bait the Ice Punch in the rain, but swap out Rotom with base Altaria with Cloud Nine to cancel out Swift Swim, letting Mega Sceptile outspeed Mega Swampert and one shot it with Grass Knot. This is very much a rough draft and mostly a copy/paste of the standard Mega Sceptile team with Altaria added in, so there’s definitely room for optimization.

Lead Options

Sceptile + Rotom will be the main one

Win Conditions

If you’re leading with Sceptile, make sure you trade favorably before it goes down and clean up with what you have in the back

Threats & Bad Matchups

LOTS of ice weaknesses lol
