Is this a risky strategy?

I’m trying to find a way to raise Mega Mawile’s speed, since the Pokemon has a lot of potential. The problem is that it’s slow and gets hit with Earthquake from Landorus and the like, so I’m wondering if this strategy would work:

With this strategy, would Mawile have enough speed to outspeed most of its threats?

Yes there are problems with this strategy.

Honestly doing that is WAY too much effort put into supporting Mawile. Having two weak support Pokemon is not ideal, especially when their purpose is to make Mawile outspeed things that will beat it even if it moves first. If Mawile is going to be outsped an killed, just switch, don’t waste a third of your team on support Pokemon.

Also this is assuming that you’re doing Wifi battles, if you’re on Showdown don’t even think about doing this strategy. Ubers is way too much for Ninjask and Smeargle to handle.

It would, but Ninjask doesn’t have the bulk to survive. It would also be very risky switching into Ninjask, since most people set up with Swords Dance etc. and there are Pokemon like Blaziken who gets Speed Boost anyway, so it would be faster than your Mega Mawile. So it is quite a risky strategy.

All you really need for this strategy to excel is aSticky Webuser and aTailwinduser - preferably withU-turnand orVolt Switchof which there are many competitively viable Pokemon…

…or…

just have one or manyTrick Roomusers on your team if you worry about Mawile being too slow.
