【explanation of spreads, moves and items】
Weavile
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe / Jolly Nature
Fake out: to stop the opponent Pokemon for protecting my pokemon
Ice Punch: its accuracy and 1HKO fragile Timid Thundurus which use taunt to stop Perish Song
Baet Up: to boost my terrakion and 1HKO focus sash fragile Timid Gengar
Protect: to earn the Perish turn and predictable when I choose Weavile-Terrakion tactics
Focus Sash: to withstand every attack 1 time
Pressure: make clear whether Landurus-T has Choice Scarf
Icicle Clash is also good because this move has high chance of 1HKO HP252 Whimsicott but its accuracy is 90% lol
Terrakion
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe / Jolly Nature
Close Combat: to 1HKO Kangaskhan-Mega etc
Rock Slide: This move double targets both Pokemon and can flinch the opponent pokemons
Earthquake: to attack Steal-Type and unpredictable
Protect:A lot of people want to beat this pokemon
Lum Berry: Life orb is better because Terrakion boosted by Life orb can 1HKO more Pokemons in more situations.However, Kingdra has Life orb.
So I chose Lum Berry which prevents Dark Void, Thunder Wave and accidentally burning
Also, I considered Quick Guard instead of Earthquake because of Talonflame, Whimsicott Encore, and Thundurus Taunt that disturb my Gengar
Politoed
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 SpD / Sassy Nature / Iv: Speed 0
Defense Ev: to withstand Jolly Kangaskhan-Mega Double-Edge(not just)
Special Defense Ev: to withstand Timid Thundurus-T Thunder(just)
Scald: This is a stable attacking move as it can burn (30% chance) the opponents and this IS reliable.
Perish Song: Great move with Gengar also having the move.
Hypnosis: This move increases 60% chance of winning
Protect: to earn the Perish turn
BrightPowder: This pokemon cannot have Sitrus Berry and Leftovers make little difference in winning or losing. This is ENTERTAINMENT!
So I chose this item which can always make Politoed avoiding so increase chance of winning.
However I considered Mental Herb because of Taunt Thundurus and Encore Whimsicott
Kingdra
Evs: 12 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 236 Spe / Modest Nature
Speed Ev: Faster than Jolly Bisharp and Breloom
I added Kingdra to health & defences so I could add a little endurance in order to reduce the probability of death from the brave bird of choice band Talonflame
Muddy Water: This move double targets both Pokemon and CAN Lower the Opponent’s Accuracy
Draco Meteor: For when this Pokemon decides not to use Perish-Trap Tactics , so this can still 1HKO.
Hydro Pump: For when this Pokemon decides not to use Perish-Trap Tactics , so this can still 1HKO.
Protect: A lot of people want to beat this pokemon and Choice Specs and Scarf are incompatible with this team.
Life Orb: I want this Kingdra to be able to protect and reach high attack power.(So I chose Modest)
Gengar
Evs: 188 HP / 4 Def / 28 SpA / 36 SpD / 252 Spe / Modest Nature
HP Ev: 16n-1 to minimize Damage such as sand and hail
Defense Ev: no intent to withstand something
Special Attack Ev: with Weavile Beat Up, have high chance of taking out HP252 Aegislash
Special Defense Ev: 93.75% chance of withstanding SpA252 Modest Choice Specs Sylveon's Shadow Ball
Speed Ev: MAX for Quick Perish Song and to be fastest in the mirror match
Perish Song: This move is a team theme
Shadow ball: to Attack Ghost-Type
Substitute: This is very useful in a lot of situations. For example, This move prevents Dark Void and Transform and earns the Perish turn
Protect: to earn the Perish turn
Gothitelle
Evs: 252 HP / 156 Def / 100 SpD / Relaxed Nature / Iv: Speed 0
Defense Ev: to withstand Atk156 Jolly Kangaskhan-Mega Return after Power-Up Punch
Special Defense Ev: twice to withstand SpA252 Modest Choice Specs Sylveon's Hyper Voice
Trick Room: Mainly to support Politoed Perish Song
Swagger: This moves disturbs Amoonguss etc.Also,increase 45% chance of winning in some situations
Reflect: to allow my team to survive longer
Protect: to earn the Perish turn
Siturs Berry: for when I must remain on the Battlefield with Shadow Tag
