I've been Ironing out this team to put it on cartridge and I realized this team can't take out mega-sableye. Can I get a good counter and any general advice?
Torero (Gallade-Mega) @ Galladite
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
Close Combat
Psycho Cut
Ice Punch
Swords Dance
King Gallade, the centre of my team. Gallades purpose is to set up and sweep, although with 110 base speed, decent 95/115 defenses and a MASSIVE 165 base attack it often doesn't have to set up as mainly a late game sweeper it does fine on its own for the early game. Close combat is a ridiculously powerful stab move capable of 1HKOing a lot of pokemon that don't resist it. Innerfocus is not the greatest ability but it helps me deal with pesky Lead-punnys by being able to take the fake out and OHKO in return with a CC (note gallade can take a return from lopunny as well so although punny outspeeds it HAS to switch or else it dies). Psycho cut is my secondary stab for hitting Keldeo, Mega Venasaur, Keldeo, Amoongus, Keldeo, Conkelldur, Keldeo. Ice punch is for pesky dragons, mence dragonite altaria etc. Gallade puts in a lot of work and despite how I thought it was going to be terrible before release because really nintendo INNER FOCUS, --the cape-- I mean stats and movepool make up for its lack of a good ability. Note Knock off is not being ran because bisharp has knock off and I felt ice punch and psy were more important.
Red Ranger (Bisharp) (M) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
Knock Off
Sucker Punch
Iron Head
Pursuit
Bisharps main purpose is instead of setting up swords dances of its own is to give momentum in order for Gallade to sweep. Knock off is for predicted switches (even in 1v1 matchups knock off is so damn good). Sucker punch is a form of priority to 1v1 choice users, setup sweepers, anything with over 70 base speed. Sucker punch can be used in order to kill Char Y, Lati's, Talonflame and more.
