This team focuses on using Vileplume and the Sun to enable Torkoal. You can also use Trick Room to enable Torkoal.
Vileplume + Torkoal: These two are a match made in heaven. Torkoal is able to set up the sun and allow Vileplume's Chlorophyll ability, doubling its speed. Vileplume can deal great damage and will guaranteed take two hits thanks to Focus Sash. After You spam with Eruption from Torkoal puts instant pressure on the enemy to make a move to stop you. Vileplume does great damage into Pokemon like Swampert and Whimsicott. You can also gamble a chance to get fast Sleep Powders off. I personally do not click it too often because I hate missing it when it matters, but you will for sure be luckier than me. Torkoal loves being next to Vileplume because it covers for the water type Pokemon that he struggles with.
Farigiraf + Fake Out Support: Farigiraf can punish Whimsicott players by pressuring Trick Room but can also stop Fake Out or Sucker Punch thanks to Armor Tail. Priority Moves can be devastating for this team because you want to keep Torkoal as healthy as possible to get max damage Eruptions off. Farigiraf is impossible to kill in one turn and can guaranteed get a Trick Room off, if necessary. Once in Trick Room you can spam Helping Hand + Eruption and basically kill everything. A Fake Out support Pokemon is very important. You have two options for Fake Out Support: Incineroar or Sneasler. The more consistent option is full damage Incineroar thanks to its Intimidate ability and naturally lower speed stat but lacks the amount of damage that Sneasler provides. Sneasler is the more explosive option with huge BP moves and the ability of it working in and outside of Trick Room thanks to it holding the Iron Ball.
Mega Pokemon: Mega Pyroar and Mega Mawile are your two Mega Pokemon of choice. Mega Mawile is your option when you feel like you are going to need to set up Trick Room to win due to her low speed stat. Intimidate is a great ability on her but Hyper Cutter can be useful. Mega Pyroar has soared in popularity due to Wolfey and Matteo. I like Matteo's explanation of Mega Pyroar, "This is this regulations Miraidon." Fire Mane + Sun lets Pyroar deal nuclear amounts of damage with Overheat or Heatwave. I truly mean this when I say that not much is going to live a Sun + Fire Mane boosted overheat from Pyroar. Pyroar is fast and deals amazing damage, I bring it quite often to my games over Mawile.
NOTE: This team was made before Wolfey made his After You team, I am no where near as close to his expertise in team building, I highly recommend you try his team out. If you do not have an Eternal Floette, this team is a great substitute.
