I feel like putting in a word, if anyone even remembers me anymore.
I say the first teammate should be RP Larvitar,
Larvitar (M) @ Flame Orb
Ability: Guts
EVs: 36 HP/244 Atk/36 Def/188 Spd
Adamant/Jolly
- Earthquake
- Rock Polish
- Stone Edge
- Crunch
This little guy has been a recent favorite of mine, hard to set up but once you do works wonders. Slightly different from MGX's set, RP is more important for Larvitar because it already hits very very hard, the extra speed is needed over the extra attack. MGX's evs missed out on 1 extra defense point, which also could be 1 special defense point if needed.
Anyway the advantages Larvitar has over the other nominees is 1, it's green, and everyone like green. But really, within a turn it's immune to status and can also come in to a willowisp, which Dratini and Gligar will not like. Larvitar has a solid movepool and actually not bad typing, resist to normal stops many priority users from taking him out at full health. And I know his huge priority weakness scares people from using him, but paired with a Mantyke (to be considered later on) makes everything better, resisting water (sometimes immune to), steel and fight and can defeat usually the users of this priority attacks. Anyway that's my two cents, this took a while to write up so if a decision was made on who to use while I was writing this, then I suck
