The synergy of this team turned out to be astounding for something I more or less just threw together

All gems outside of the normal gem are currently unreleased in 6th gen.

Fletchinder doesn't learn another worthwhile flying move, the next best move is aerial ace which is much less powerful and certainly not worth having eviolite to maybe survive some more attacks. Flying gem would be sweet, I wonder when we'll get that back.

Here's Sonny Dee's team. I think it turned out to be a good thing I was bumped up to Veteran, since this team ended up doing a lot better than I thought it would. I think the fact that no one expected Mega Houndoom, and wasn't ready for his ability, was a big help. I normally train my pokes as individuals, but the synergy (ugh, can't believed I just used that word in public) of this team was really good, I thought.

Dark Pulse
Sludge Bomb
HP Grass

2. Pyroar
Nature: Timid

Roar (which came in really handy when I needed to switch out an opponent who had been calm mind-ing and one who had destiny bonded me)

3. Infernape
Nature: Jolly
Ability: Blaze
Item: Focus Sash
Moves: Fire Punch
Close Combat
Mach Punch
Thunder Punch

4. Talonflame
