Build Notes

Mega Houndoom is the team's primary win condition, converting sun into destructive power via Solar Power, which stacks on top of Nasty Plot boosts and the 32 SpAtk SP investment. Flash Fire before Mega Evolution turns opposing Heat Wave attempts into free setup invitations. The Timid nature with 32 SpAtk and 32 Speed SP maximizes damage and outspeeds a wide range of threats, reaching OHKOs on Garchomp at plus two with a Solar Power-boosted Dark Pulse. Protect buys critical setup turns or scouts opponents' moves while Sableye and Ninetales control the field.
