Lighting rod absorbs all electric attacks even friendly. So you would't get that effective with buffing. One or 2 maybe? 3 atmost untill the enemy notices your strat and boom ko jolteon.
I would recommand something tanky to buff but this strat is out shined by safeguard swagger/teater dance.
never forget dawngate and never forgive EA. Freia will hunt them for eternity.
since i ended switching mega-lucario for mega-mawile i would like so see if you can recritisize my team
Spoiler: Click to view
Greninja
Life orb
Timid max ev's speed and sp att and 4 in hp
Protean
Mat block
Scald
Icebeam
Dark pulse
mawile
mawilite
252 hp, 252 attack and 4 sp.def
sword's dance
sucker punch
play rough
protect
These to are my main lead against most other teams. My team is centerd around strong leads to to fit the situation. mawile and greninja start of with a mat block sword dance for a great start.
If they knock out the enemies lead in one turn which they are very good at i have basicly won because i didn't lose anything and i am set up.
Dusclops
Eviolite
Frisk
Max hp and an equal spread between pysical def and sp def
Will o wisp
Infestation
Pain split
Rest
If either of my leads fail i am far from done. I have 2 mon who have brought me back full games dusclops being one of them.
I run dusclops with will o wisp because of the pysical meta game that is going on right now the dots of burn and infestation still let me deal good damage as well as shut down pys sweepers. Pain split and rest for substain to finish it off. Dusclops brought me back full games and is a main staple of my team.
Typlosion
Choice scarf
Max speed max sp att
Eruption (all i need)
Typlosion is number 2. I run typlosion to take care of mega mawile's because they have been a bit of a probleme. Typlosion can take a sucker punch and still ohko m-mawile with eruption.
Thundurus
Sitrus berry?
Ev's not sure?
Prankster
Taunt
Thunderwave
Thunder bolt
nastyplot
(I still have some testing to do what is best for my team when i use thundurus.)
Dragonite
Adamant
Weakness policy
Max attack max speed
Multiscale
Dragon dance
Dragon claw
Thunder punch
Extreme speed
Thundurus and dragonnite are my second lead. Thundurus is the perfect anti prankster if i see 2 mon that compliment each other well and one is a prankster i ruin their day. Dragonite can take care of so many common threads like megazard. The usual combo is turn one taunt the enemy support and dragon dance, turn 2 is thunderwave the sweeper and either a second dragon dance or taking out the sweeper.
Just because i plan to use those 2 leads to go together doesn't mean i don't have lucario running with thundurus sometimes especially against megakhan.

(Lightningrod doesn't stop spread electric moves. So spam Discharge, and either an increasingly stronger Zebstrika sweeps the slower bulkier enemy team, or a stupidly fast Electrivire sweeps a faster, squishier enemy team.)
I can see a Taunt Aerodactyl stopping most of your team. Rock Slide Thunderus and Dragonite for flinch hax, Taunt Mawile and/or Thundurus, make Typlosion nearly useless after tanking a not-very-effective Eruption. That's a lot of your team stopped by only one pokemon.
Basically, a EdgeQuake user, whether its Garchomp, Steelix, or Mega Aerodactyl, can ruin your day. And the SlideQuake combo is even more common in doubles, where spread moves are abused to a ridiculous degree. (Users: Garchomp (Yes, weak to ice but Greninja still has counters, especially FAKE OUT, Steelix, TYRANITAR (Who unfortunately survives a super effective unboosted Play Rough), Excadrill (especially nasty since it'll outspeed Greninja AND Typlosion and possibly survive an Ice Beam in a sandstorm, Terrakion, and maybe Guts Conkeldurr, who can wreck most of your team and laughs at Mawile's Sucker Punch, and yes, he does survive an unboosted Play Rough.)
Proper setup is no guarantee to victory, either. Garchomp survives a +2 Sucker Punch with no defensive investment and can OHKO with Earthquake, Ferrothorn resists all but one of your entire team and can setup on Mawile and oneshot some of your team with Gyro Ball.
The rest of your team also has a few counters, like Mega Lucario, who is resistant to Dragonite's STABs as well as Extremespeed, laughs at Mawile's +2 Sucker Punch (or bypass it entirely by using another priority move), and can neuter Typlosion with a Adaptability-Boosted Bullet Punch or Extremespeed before he can use Explosion, and depending on the kit, can either have Crunch to deal with Dusclops or Stone Edge to deal with Thundurus/Dragonite.
The good news is, is that your team does have a few things to counter it's weaknesses. Greninja for most ground types with Ice Beam, and can ease setup with Mat Block and protect Mawile from the slower sweepers. Typlosion can kill off the steel types that can tank your team...with the exception of Lucario and Excadrill.
@All4: Even though I usually lose against you, I can see some counters. A speed-focused, special atk maxed froslass can snipe literally half your team. Two of them don't have anything reliable to defend them from this fantastic phantom. A fast flincher can easily shut down your Mawile/Greninja combo. The most troublesome Pokemon in this team is Greninja, imo. He's the one that allows you to build up your powerful Mawile. It is also ridiculously fast and causes some trouble even against Fake Out
@Zane: I haven't played Volkraken, so I can't judge :P
What my yearbook quote should be: "Fluorine Uranium Carbon Potassium Ytrrium Oxygen Uranium Bismuth Technetium Einsteinium"
