Some hazard stacking BO with mmaw and keldeo.The first partner was rockium z lando, to support mmaw in its stall matchup, getting up rocks and weakening (or even killing) skarmory. Spikes gren was the next mon, since spikes helped wear down mons like ferrothorn and fini; and even lure in toxapex for keldeo. Tran was the next mon, as I realized that i hard lost to Lele and that i had also a very poor matchup vs opposing mega mawile. Lastly there was tangrowth, as I desperately needed a water and eletric check, and a way to lure volcarona, since tran was wisp.

Z-Outrage chomp decimates Lando, the most common pivot into Mawile; also, Tangrowth the most common pivot into Keldeo. Beats Tox which is always good. SD breaks Fini, and gets rocks vs stall; Rocks up + Mawile = autowin vs fat shit. 4 attack Mawile cause it's really good and Scizor is extremely popular right now. Standard Keldeo which is the best scarfer and is super pretty to look at cmon that sprite is feugo. Celes cause Keldeo + Steel type beats Greninja; and, adds a ground resist. (Zygarde is broken.) Spoon Lele cause chipping steel types for Chomp and Mawile is appreciated. Also if you don't manage to get rocks vs stall they have to choose between wasting Dugtrios sash on Mawile or Lele. Rotom for blanket check for Metagross, Lando, Gyarados and a slow volt turn for Lele and Mawile. Team is weak to Volc so keep Chomp and Keldeo healthy. Weak vs Zygarde also so keep Lele and Keldeo healthy, Zygarde switch in is literally Picking a sac but yknow it's broken so what do you want from me.

explanation

Keldeo is scarfed and is the main sweeper/revenge killer. Mega-Mawile 4 attacks wallbreaks and beats most Keldeo counters. Tapu Koko sets Electric Terrain so Mega-Mawile can use Sucker Punch and Gengar can switch into Amoonguss unscathed. It wears down Keldeo counters with the help of hazards and pivoting. Landorus-T is the rocker and a switch to most physical attacks. Ferrothorn switches into most special attacks and set up Spikes to aid in the sweep. Gengar stallbreaks and absorbs Toxapex's Toxic Spikes.

For replays check the alt omgmawile I'm saving all my battles. I don't put them here because it's mostly low ladder, suspect ladder and I have finals blablaaa.

Description

First and foremost, I'll tackle the teambuilding process. I wanted to use Swords Dance Mega-Mawile as it was released recently and it seemed to be incredibly threatening to almost all opposing teams on a consistent basis, rewarding aggressive play such as double-switching in and getting a Swords Dance up in a tight spot. With this Pokemon at the center of my team, I felt that I had a lot of possibilities when it came to my next team member. I could go immediately with direct support such as Stealth Rock or Spikes, in attempt to weaken opposing Pokemon for Mega-Mawile and potential additional offensive members of the team to win or simply get more kills, or I could go a more indirect route and try to add a synergetic attacker that could situationally lure some problematic Pokemon that could be irksome to the team. Ultimately, I decided to go with Expert Belt Four Attacks Greninja as my second team member because it functions as a solid lure and general offensive breaker that synergizes quite well with the aforementioned Mega-Mawile; the moves I elected to use where Gunk Shot, Hydro Pump, Extrasensory, and Hidden Power Fire and I feel this set is optimal as it hits Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Mega Scizor -- things that, upon being hit, make having Thunder Punch or Fire Fang on Mega-Mawile less necessary, freeing up room for the more spammable alternative in Knock Off. Despite the order of my import (sorry for this), my third member was dedicated to fixing a pitfall of many Mega-Mawile teams I noticed: lack of a true Psychic check. So many teams think that because Mega-Mawile is a Steel type, it can be used to check things like Tapu Lele and this simply is far from the truth. Moreover, I added Stealth Rock Healing Wish Jirachi. Healing Wish is greatly appreciated for the first two members of the team and the defensive capabilities of Jirachi are greatly underestimated in the current metagame, so I took advantage of it in this slot to check various special attackers, most notably the aforementioned Tapu Lele, but also Magearna, Tornadus-Therian, Latios, and Nihilego. Then, a Choice Scarf user seemed necessary because I had two slower Pokemon and nothing to reliably revenge kill opposing threats, so I added on what probably is the best, if not then surely top three, scarfer in the tier in Keldeo because it gave me a reliable Fire check and Greninja pivot while also fulfilling the revenge killer role. From there, the last two became fairly easy as I needed a Pheromosa check, Ground type pivot, secondary answer to Stall that would prove to be sufficient with Mega-Mawile, and perhaps a secondary win condition all in the last two slots. Double Dance Z-Stone Edge Landorus-Therian and Gengar emerged as solid candidates for both slots simply due to consistent offensive presence and fulfilling all of the things I needed them to while keeping offensive pressure up. I already had Z Landorus-Therian and Scarf Keldeo, so Gengar being Choice Specs seemed the most logical option to me and I went with it. The team, unfortunately, has a noteworthy weakness to Tapu Koko, but you can manage it with aggressive play despite it admittedly being an uphill battle.

Going into the specifics, the Jirachi spread was initially almost full SDef, but I needed Speed in order to creep Smeargle on opposing Sticky Web teams, so I added enough for that and then continued to creep until I outpaced Modest Tapu Lele, Adamant Zygarde, Mamoswine, Adamant Landorus-Therian, etc. which can all potentially come in handy. The Mawile spread assures that I live Sash or Jolly Scarf Dugtrio Earthquake 100% of the time from full while also outpacing standard Skamory on stall by 1 point (a few other things of note are living Protean LO HP Fire and non-Ash Specs Hydro from Greninja very often, living two Scarf or Shed Shell Psychic from Tapu Lele almost always, and always living 1 Earthquake from full from the rare TankChomp). The remaining spreads are all straightforward, but I elected to go with Jolly on Landorus-Therian as Mega-Mawile, Healing Wish, Gengar, etc. should be enough for Stall as is, so the extra damage is more of an unnecessary safety-blanket and outrunning Scarf Pheromosa at +2 is pretty much necessary. The moves on Greninja help set up for Mega-Mawile and Landorus-Therian, Gengar opts to not run Trick on this team so that it can pretty much hit everything not named Chansey hard in the tier and this plays right into the general dynamic of the team as weakening things early game leads to sweeps late game, and I do not use Stone Edge on Keldeo, despite the slight Volcarona "weakness" simply because Sucker Punch from Mega Mawile is doing 65% minimum to opposing Volcarona and there is no way I will be near full with Keldeo when potentially taking a boosted Giga Drain, so Keldeo + Mega-Mawile should do the trick easily enough (plus, Scald is such a good move, so why bother dropping it when you can run dual Water STAB n_n).

Overall, I think this team is quite solid and it has Keldeo + Mega-Mawile! :)

Description

The team was obviously built around MMawile and Keldeo. Firstly, the idea of the team was a Hazard Stack Bulky Offense. The first partner I chose was Lando to get rocks up and helps to win against stall. Then I selected Ferrothorn for the spikes and helps a lot with gross. The next I chose was Koko to break water types easier and momentum. Taunt helps with Ferro, Lando sometimes. And the final pokemon chosen was Zygarde because I wanted more offensive pressence and another Physical attacker so it was the pokemon I chose. With the CB it breaks a lot and put a lot of work in many battles. MMawi runs Fire Fang to break Ferro and Scizor.

Went with z hyper beam keldeo cause I breaks fat shit like amoongus and pex. Scarf is also boring so wanted something else.

Standard mawile. Sets up and leaves marks.

Another boring defensive core that everyone uses. Leftovers on lando cause I prefer longevity but not stopping someone else from putting a helmet on. Fini for hazard control and good half damage chip and growth cause everything is weak to greninja.

Scarf nihilego for speed control and check for volcarona and just cause its amazing.

Description

First and foremost, this is technically a modification I made to a team Finch built for me in roughly two minutes, so it's not fully my creation (but then again it's got some decently significant changes so w/e). This wasn't built for this competition—I just thought AoA Maw + U-turn Koko was a really potent core, because Mawile can take advantage of the passive things that enjoy switching into Tapu Koko (Tangrowth, Amoonguss, Ferrothorn) that are also on every damn team. After settling on Mawile + Koko, something was needed that could reliably pivot into the likes of Landorus-T to some degree as as well as blanket check a fuckload because of how poorly Mawile + Koko covers things in terms of threat coverage, so mixed defensive Tangrowth was slapped on. This set has a good shot of avoiding Metagross' Mash after SR while still checking the vast majority of Tapu Koko variants. Jirachi is necessary to compensate for how poorly Mawile operates defensively as a Steel-type, especially versus the likes of Tapu Lele and Magearna. Jirachi also sets up SR and keeps Mega Zam in check to an extent. Lasts were a bulkier Rockium DD Landorus-T to help stomach +1 Sucker from Maw and Scarf Keld for the Greninjas + Volcarona. Rockium DD Lando also provides a nice synergistic wincon that appreciates the targets Mawile attracts and can also acts a complimentary breaker that helps Maw bust stall.

For reference, I asked Finch if he was cool with me posting this and he said to go nuts, so.

Description

I wanted to try something different which involved a mix of Trick Room and offense which involves two Trick room setters, two non Trick Abusers, one Semi Abuser (Lando-t) and one full Trick Room abuser.

Mega Mawile loves being under Trick Room and is an amazing abuser and pretty much either OHKO or 2HKO everything in the OU tier and enjoys the extra HP since its being played under Trick.

Landorus-T can also abuse trick room hence 0 speed evs and ivs and still does the typical role of being a Stealth Rock setter.

Magearna and Porygon 2 both set up trick room, I made Porygon2 a more offensive variant so it can dish out more damage and still be tanky while Magearna is nearly just as good as Mega Mawile when under Trick Room and nice to have extra checks to pokemon like Tapu Lele and Hoopa-Unbound

When trick room is down you're pretty much free to use Keldeo and Gengar, I made Keldeo scarf so I can handle Volcarona and Greninja easier while Gengar I made specs which I prefer getting the extra damage and Keldeo enjoys gengar being its partner as it can handle mons like Tapu Fini and Tapu Bulu.

Some hazard stacking BO with mmaw and keldeo.The first partner was rockium z lando, to support mmaw in its stall matchup, getting up rocks and weakening (or even killing) skarmory. Spikes gren was the next mon, since spikes helped wear down mons like ferrothorn and fini; and even lure in toxapex for keldeo. Tran was the next mon, as I realized that i hard lost to Lele and that i had also a very poor matchup vs opposing mega mawile. Lastly there was tangrowth, as I desperately needed a water and eletric check, and a way to lure volcarona, since tran was wisp.

Z-Outrage chomp decimates Lando, the most common pivot into Mawile; also, Tangrowth the most common pivot into Keldeo. Beats Tox which is always good. SD breaks Fini, and gets rocks vs stall; Rocks up + Mawile = autowin vs fat shit. 4 attack Mawile cause it's really good and Scizor is extremely popular right now. Standard Keldeo which is the best scarfer and is super pretty to look at cmon that sprite is feugo. Celes cause Keldeo + Steel type beats Greninja; and, adds a ground resist. (Zygarde is broken.) Spoon Lele cause chipping steel types for Chomp and Mawile is appreciated. Also if you don't manage to get rocks vs stall they have to choose between wasting Dugtrios sash on Mawile or Lele. Rotom for blanket check for Metagross, Lando, Gyarados and a slow volt turn for Lele and Mawile. Team is weak to Volc so keep Chomp and Keldeo healthy. Weak vs Zygarde also so keep Lele and Keldeo healthy, Zygarde switch in is literally Picking a sac but yknow it's broken so what do you want from me.

explanation

Keldeo is scarfed and is the main sweeper/revenge killer. Mega-Mawile 4 attacks wallbreaks and beats most Keldeo counters. Tapu Koko sets Electric Terrain so Mega-Mawile can use Sucker Punch and Gengar can switch into Amoonguss unscathed. It wears down Keldeo counters with the help of hazards and pivoting. Landorus-T is the rocker and a switch to most physical attacks. Ferrothorn switches into most special attacks and set up Spikes to aid in the sweep. Gengar stallbreaks and absorbs Toxapex's Toxic Spikes.

For replays check the alt omgmawile I'm saving all my battles. I don't put them here because it's mostly low ladder, suspect ladder and I have finals blablaaa.

Description

First and foremost, I'll tackle the teambuilding process. I wanted to use Swords Dance Mega-Mawile as it was released recently and it seemed to be incredibly threatening to almost all opposing teams on a consistent basis, rewarding aggressive play such as double-switching in and getting a Swords Dance up in a tight spot. With this Pokemon at the center of my team, I felt that I had a lot of possibilities when it came to my next team member. I could go immediately with direct support such as Stealth Rock or Spikes, in attempt to weaken opposing Pokemon for Mega-Mawile and potential additional offensive members of the team to win or simply get more kills, or I could go a more indirect route and try to add a synergetic attacker that could situationally lure some problematic Pokemon that could be irksome to the team. Ultimately, I decided to go with Expert Belt Four Attacks Greninja as my second team member because it functions as a solid lure and general offensive breaker that synergizes quite well with the aforementioned Mega-Mawile; the moves I elected to use where Gunk Shot, Hydro Pump, Extrasensory, and Hidden Power Fire and I feel this set is optimal as it hits Toxapex, Ferrothorn, and Mega Scizor -- things that, upon being hit, make having Thunder Punch or Fire Fang on Mega-Mawile less necessary, freeing up room for the more spammable alternative in Knock Off. Despite the order of my import (sorry for this), my third member was dedicated to fixing a pitfall of many Mega-Mawile teams I noticed: lack of a true Psychic check. So many teams think that because Mega-Mawile is a Steel type, it can be used to check things like Tapu Lele and this simply is far from the truth. Moreover, I added Stealth Rock Healing Wish Jirachi. Healing Wish is greatly appreciated for the first two members of the team and the defensive capabilities of Jirachi are greatly underestimated in the current metagame, so I took advantage of it in this slot to check various special attackers, most notably the aforementioned Tapu Lele, but also Magearna, Tornadus-Therian, Latios, and Nihilego. Then, a Choice Scarf user seemed necessary because I had two slower Pokemon and nothing to reliably revenge kill opposing threats, so I added on what probably is the best, if not then surely top three, scarfer in the tier in Keldeo because it gave me a reliable Fire check and Greninja pivot while also fulfilling the revenge killer role. From there, the last two became fairly easy as I needed a Pheromosa check, Ground type pivot, secondary answer to Stall that would prove to be sufficient with Mega-Mawile, and perhaps a secondary win condition all in the last two slots. Double Dance Z-Stone Edge Landorus-Therian and Gengar emerged as solid candidates for both slots simply due to consistent offensive presence and fulfilling all of the things I needed them to while keeping offensive pressure up. I already had Z Landorus-Therian and Scarf Keldeo, so Gengar being Choice Specs seemed the most logical option to me and I went with it. The team, unfortunately, has a noteworthy weakness to Tapu Koko, but you can manage it with aggressive play despite it admittedly being an uphill battle.

Going into the specifics, the Jirachi spread was initially almost full SDef, but I needed Speed in order to creep Smeargle on opposing Sticky Web teams, so I added enough for that and then continued to creep until I outpaced Modest Tapu Lele, Adamant Zygarde, Mamoswine, Adamant Landorus-Therian, etc. which can all potentially come in handy. The Mawile spread assures that I live Sash or Jolly Scarf Dugtrio Earthquake 100% of the time from full while also outpacing standard Skamory on stall by 1 point (a few other things of note are living Protean LO HP Fire and non-Ash Specs Hydro from Greninja very often, living two Scarf or Shed Shell Psychic from Tapu Lele almost always, and always living 1 Earthquake from full from the rare TankChomp). The remaining spreads are all straightforward, but I elected to go with Jolly on Landorus-Therian as Mega-Mawile, Healing Wish, Gengar, etc. should be enough for Stall as is, so the extra damage is more of an unnecessary safety-blanket and outrunning Scarf Pheromosa at +2 is pretty much necessary. The moves on Greninja help set up for Mega-Mawile and Landorus-Therian, Gengar opts to not run Trick on this team so that it can pretty much hit everything not named Chansey hard in the tier and this plays right into the general dynamic of the team as weakening things early game leads to sweeps late game, and I do not use Stone Edge on Keldeo, despite the slight Volcarona "weakness" simply because Sucker Punch from Mega Mawile is doing 65% minimum to opposing Volcarona and there is no way I will be near full with Keldeo when potentially taking a boosted Giga Drain, so Keldeo + Mega-Mawile should do the trick easily enough (plus, Scald is such a good move, so why bother dropping it when you can run dual Water STAB n_n).

Overall, I think this team is quite solid and it has Keldeo + Mega-Mawile! :)

Description

The team was obviously built around MMawile and Keldeo. Firstly, the idea of the team was a Hazard Stack Bulky Offense. The first partner I chose was Lando to get rocks up and helps to win against stall. Then I selected Ferrothorn for the spikes and helps a lot with gross. The next I chose was Koko to break water types easier and momentum. Taunt helps with Ferro, Lando sometimes. And the final pokemon chosen was Zygarde because I wanted more offensive pressence and another Physical attacker so it was the pokemon I chose. With the CB it breaks a lot and put a lot of work in many battles. MMawi runs Fire Fang to break Ferro and Scizor.

Went with z hyper beam keldeo cause I breaks fat shit like amoongus and pex. Scarf is also boring so wanted something else.

Standard mawile. Sets up and leaves marks.

Another boring defensive core that everyone uses. Leftovers on lando cause I prefer longevity but not stopping someone else from putting a helmet on. Fini for hazard control and good half damage chip and growth cause everything is weak to greninja.

Scarf nihilego for speed control and check for volcarona and just cause its amazing.

Description

First and foremost, this is technically a modification I made to a team Finch built for me in roughly two minutes, so it's not fully my creation (but then again it's got some decently significant changes so w/e). This wasn't built for this competition—I just thought AoA Maw + U-turn Koko was a really potent core, because Mawile can take advantage of the passive things that enjoy switching into Tapu Koko (Tangrowth, Amoonguss, Ferrothorn) that are also on every damn team. After settling on Mawile + Koko, something was needed that could reliably pivot into the likes of Landorus-T to some degree as as well as blanket check a fuckload because of how poorly Mawile + Koko covers things in terms of threat coverage, so mixed defensive Tangrowth was slapped on. This set has a good shot of avoiding Metagross' Mash after SR while still checking the vast majority of Tapu Koko variants. Jirachi is necessary to compensate for how poorly Mawile operates defensively as a Steel-type, especially versus the likes of Tapu Lele and Magearna. Jirachi also sets up SR and keeps Mega Zam in check to an extent. Lasts were a bulkier Rockium DD Landorus-T to help stomach +1 Sucker from Maw and Scarf Keld for the Greninjas + Volcarona. Rockium DD Lando also provides a nice synergistic wincon that appreciates the targets Mawile attracts and can also acts a complimentary breaker that helps Maw bust stall.

For reference, I asked Finch if he was cool with me posting this and he said to go nuts, so.

Description

I wanted to try something different which involved a mix of Trick Room and offense which involves two Trick room setters, two non Trick Abusers, one Semi Abuser (Lando-t) and one full Trick Room abuser.

Mega Mawile loves being under Trick Room and is an amazing abuser and pretty much either OHKO or 2HKO everything in the OU tier and enjoys the extra HP since its being played under Trick.

Landorus-T can also abuse trick room hence 0 speed evs and ivs and still does the typical role of being a Stealth Rock setter.

Magearna and Porygon 2 both set up trick room, I made Porygon2 a more offensive variant so it can dish out more damage and still be tanky while Magearna is nearly just as good as Mega Mawile when under Trick Room and nice to have extra checks to pokemon like Tapu Lele and Hoopa-Unbound

When trick room is down you're pretty much free to use Keldeo and Gengar, I made Keldeo scarf so I can handle Volcarona and Greninja easier while Gengar I made specs which I prefer getting the extra damage and Keldeo enjoys gengar being its partner as it can handle mons like Tapu Fini and Tapu Bulu.

Description

SD Mawile for cleaning, Keldeo for speed control. The core itself covers a lot of the meta but I found most builds weak to Koko so why not add a Nidoking as a resist and to nuke most Ferro/Tox cores nowadays. Also adds a bit more power since Keldeo's running scarf for Greninja and other stuff. At this point other Keldeo seemed threatening, as did most waters + grounds so Latios fit the bill nicely here. Defog support for opposing hazard stacking builds - run Latias if you want the extra bulk, but I'm not a huge fan myself. I saw that the team still struggled a bit with Greninja and other offensive teams so I added one of the best blanket checkers in the tier in AV Tangrowth. HP Ice so you don't autolose to Zygarde and other steels are covered fairly well with other members. Lele was a pain in the butt and I was also in need of a rocker and steel for the mandatory double steel core so Heatran fit perfectly. Went with the fast bulky set bc it's my personal favorite and also helps shut down other passive mons. Enjoy
