Has anyone attempted or had success running No Guard+OHKO moves in the Battle Tree for Doubles? I have only done the preliminary research so far, but this is what it might look like...
Potential No Guard Users
-Golurk or Machamp with Leftovers or Focus Sash, since they are (arguably), the bulkiest options and they need to stay alive
-Mega Pidgeot
-Duoblade with Eviolite
Obviously, Bulk would be the biggest concern with all of them, so running positive Def/Sp. Def Natures and IVs would be mandatory. They would all need to know Protect as well, since they don't really need to do any damage.
Potential OHKOers
Rapidash-Horn Drill-Speed 105
Dugtrio-Fissure-Speed 110/120 (Alolan Form Difference)
Crygonal-Sheer Cold-Speed 105
Mega Pinsir-Guillotine-Speed 105
Gliscor-Guillotine-Speed 95 (Would Need Choice Scarf)
Suicune-Sheer Cold-Bulk
Obviously, I went Speed all the way (save Suicune). Keep the No Guard alive and hit as much and as fast as possible with OHKOs. If No Guard is holding Leftovers, Focus Sash could guarantee two KOs. Choice Scarf manages potential Speed problems, ect.
The biggest problem would be if I lose the No Guard, but Pokémon like Suicune and Mega Pinsir have the tools to do other kinds of damage too.
Thoughts? Advice? Thanks.
