Decidueye is meant to be a powerful wallbreaker with the decidium Z while also being able to trap opponents using spirit shackle for easy ways to stop switching. For my moves, Leaf Blade and Spirit Shackle are both for powerful STAB, Sucker Punch for priority and U-turn for switch initiative. The decidium Z is for when decidueye traps a powerful opponent and needs a sure way to kill them. I also invested in SpDef due to the naturally high stat and for some extra bulk.
For Emploeon, I wanted it to be a good stealth rock support yet also a good wall to some nuisance special pokemon, e.g. Hydreigon. Scald is a good STAB and has the natural burn chance, Stealth Rock for support, Ice Beam for much needed coverage and I'm unsure on defog or flash cannon for the last move. Help would be appreciated. In regards of EVs Special attack is so that Empoleon hits like a cannon and SpDef so that I can soak up hits from special attackers.
Darmanitan is the wallbreaker. Choice Band + Sheer Force + Adamant + Base 140 Attack + STAB + 120BP in Flare Blitz can OHKO pretty much anything not resisted and even some resisted pokemon (It has OHKO'd Rotom-H and Latios in the past). Most of the moves are pretty self explanatory, Flare Blitz for everything and the rest of the moves are purely coverage, selected for type range. I'm definitely not changing this beast.
Buzzwole is meant to be a tank offensive wall. Assault Vest and SpDef investment ensure it isn't OHKO'd by special moves and with great base HP and Def it works great. Leech Life is for recovery and STAB alsongside Superpower, while stone edge is for predicting flying and fire types. EQ is for general coverage.
Absol is the faster attacker on the team meant to get quick kills and threaten support pokemon with magic bounce. Sucker punch is for priority and STAB, as is also knock off (considering running pursuit instead though?). Play Rough is to predict fighting types coming in and Will-o-Wisp is to predict physical attackers.
Togekiss is the fairy of the team using the classic bulky para flinch set. It is also immune to ground which 3 other pokemon on the team are weak to. The thunderwave + Airslash is a common strategy to ensure the opponent cannot do a thing while roost is for recovery and dazzling gleam is for STAB fairy coverage on the team. The spread has the health for bulk while also the special attack to dish out a bit of damage.
I'm mainly looking for help on Empoleon and Absol although anything else I'm open to, thanks :)
