Mega Mawile

Been wanting to take Mega Mawile out for a spin since this format started, but hadn't found a team I liked with it yet. Well, I shall wait no longer!

The main idea of the team was that having Intimidate on Mawile provides support for Milotic then, when you mega evolve, you have naturally great bulk while Milotic threatens the Ground and Fire types that threaten your Mawile.

Zoom Lens on Milotic allows me to have effectively a 95% accurate Hypnosis after only 1 Coil. Plus, if I want to go straight for a Hypnosis, I have that boosted accuracy as I am likely going second. Also, with Zoom Lens, your Muddy Waters are also 100% accurate without a Coil boost. What this means, is that I really only need 1 setup turn on Milotic. If you want that extra recovery, Leftovers is still perfectly reasonable, just know that it will take you longer to get setup.

Incin and Sinischa provide additional strong support and really reinforce the defensive backbone for this team. Went Coba berry on Sinischa to help out in the Swampert Peli matchup.

Ceruledge provides a more offensive setup piece. and a solid switch-in for both my megas. I went Lorb for damage, but Colbur berry is also very reasonable for Kingambit, though you have enough to deal with Kingambit as is I feel like. You can also just play around Sucker Punch like in one game where I just caught Sucker Punch on a Bulk Up turn and then put it to sleep with Milo.

Lopunny is there to be fast Fake Out support and take a KO or so. This thing has honestly been kind of a terrorist in some of the matches I have brought it to. I went Ice Punch over Triple Axel because Ice Punch still KOs Garchomps and only gives up 1 hit of Rough Skin instead of 3 while also being 100% accurate. Most other targets you are probably clicking CC anyway. If I catch my opponent in a awkward spot with this sucker, it has tended to really mess them up.
