[Idyll]

This week's winner is Team 5 by Roxer! On another note, this competition is now on its 30th week for some reason! Wow!

This week, we bring to the spotlight a more underused but still cool Pokemon in...

Mega Aerodactyl - Mega Aerodactyl serves well as a really fast attacker in the metagame. With its rock solid Rock-typing it can be a really good counter to Talonflame, and it has access to neat moves in Wide Guard, Sky Drop, and Aqua Tail, the latter useful for taking out Mega Diancie and Landorus-T!

description

Aero is a cool anti meta pokemon, being able to outspeed scarf adamant lando t and having a crucial spread move in rock slide. Its biggest flaw is beign walled and ko'ed by bulky waters and steels, which are covered with serperior and rotom heat. Unfortunatly that is still relatively heatran weak, which slots keldeo in, forming a solid water/fire/grass core. Still being quite weak to fighting mons, latios offers raw power and psychic stab, also recovery to help win some situations. this team is still every weak to fairies, which si where bisharp comes in, and although not being the most efficient switch in to a hyper voice, it outspeeds sylveon, the man abuser.IT can beat a lot of common cores and overwhelm some teams with pure offense

Aero has tailwind jsut top help with speed ties and to counter act other tailwinds.

Btw this is my first team ive submitted so if its terrible tell me

This team begun with the Mega Aero + Volcarona core, I normally wouldn't say this core could work but after testing it out a lot, running Wide Guard > Protect on Mega Aerodactyl seemed to do the job, as most people rely on Talonflame, Diancie, Rock Slide or Water moves to beat Volcarona, I could deal with all but the former with Wide Guard Aerodactyl. Lum Berry Volcarona because of Thunder Wave and Spore, both of those are super annoying to deal with. Next up I added another Wide Guard user in Aegislash, because fuck Diancie and he'd help me with Trick Room and an extra Kang switch-in (Mega Aero the bulky mon), also a handy Safety Goggles for spore can bluff out the Lum Berry in Volcarona. Then I added Offensive Thundurus with Flash Cannon to help the team deal with Waters by having a powerful Electric, then I added Keldeo so I had something to actually OHKO Heatran/Kang and provide Quick Guard support for the team. Lastly I added Landorus-Therian for intimidate support vs Mega Diancie and a bulky pivot for me to switch around with U-Turn, which I found nescessary.

edit: lana I like how you have 2 descriptions and 2 importables for bluffing others into not stealing the team

With a solid af lead, Team 2 by Roxer wins the week!

Now it's time for another mon! Here comes...

Mega Latias - This guy here is basically a better CM Cresselia but takes up a Mega slot. It has ridiculous potential, but it's a non-factor without boosts. It has good stats across the board and high Speed to pair well with its setting up. Run wild!

Mega Latias Set-up Sweeper Tank​

Description

So imo, Mega Latias has a lot of potential to be an awesome set up sweeper, if its teammates can eliminate the big time threads. This team is 4/6 of memorics team and 5/6 of same typing of pokemon; so it has a strong foundation but with a different strategy mind set.

Threats to Latias and my checks.

• Steel types
  • Heatran with flamethrower to get by wide guard Aegislash
  • Landorus EQ and Superpower
  • Breloom Mach punch and spore
• Fairy types
  • Jirachi Iron Head, Follow Me
    
  • Heatran
  • Max speed breloom to Spore
  • Suicune and Lando for Diance
• Ghost types
  • Snarl Suicune
  • Spore Breloom
• Dark Types
  • Mach Punch Breloom
  • Superpower Lando
• Dragon Types
  • Follow Me Jirachi
  • Icy Wind Jirachi
  • U-Turn Lando for Latios/Hydre

Latias can out run max speed base 70s out of tailwind. Under one icy wind it will outrun 110s.

team is super fuckin busted. start with mega latias cause thats the mon of the week. we add scrafty bc its one of the best fake out supporters we couldve chosen, beats kang, heatran, bisharp, hydrei, etc, etc, all for latias. next we add landorus-t, more help with those steels, best mon in the game, throw around some cash rock slides, etc, etc. next we add ferrothorn cause i saw we were lookin weak as fuck to rain and we also needed a steel type. next we add the most broken ass set i've ever come up with, choice band no stab deoxys attack. e speed does like 75% to talon on a min roll, easiest revenge kill of your life on the fukn thing. anyways, we got terrak in the 6th slot cause we are super weak to talon and u can never have too much rock slide, and it has taunt cause TR and shit. this team looks bisharp weak as fuck but deo a is a sick lure, u got that superpower to give em a 1-2 bop dash, gg no re get fukt mate see u next week. best team this week easily, no one should even submit after this where is my room mods.

Description

originally i had sub mlatias but yea i changed it up to a more silly set LOL
after kinda fucking aroundd with the team for a bit i saw we were super diancie weak and had 0 checks so instead of the gay subcm set I went for a more offensive set with HP steel so you can OHKO mdiancie
40hp/56def kinda minimizes the risk of getting 2hkod by lando-t uturn so i thought that was fun

i picked infernape because i wanted and aegi + hydrei check and originally i wanted scrafty but i dont rly like using it and especially in my team comp im afraid it might've been too slow. nothing exciting here

the lando-t set is inspired by TOTEM, sub lando-t seems like a realy fun thing to try out once and i thought it was funny to try on this team

u should probably change substitute on aegislash to wide guard bc you might have a diff mu vs lando-t but thats where WP hp ice comes into play, hp ice is a fun lure that was used by mizu in last spl and surprise OHKOing lando-t is cool

2 attacks amoonguss is good

quick attack sylveon lol i noticed we didnt really have priority or any speed in our team so I thought quick attack was a pretty fun way to catch ppl off guard :D

Description

The idea is to set up cm latias, which becomes fairly unstoppable. Tangela is a decent redirector that can remove stuff like keld and actually hit for about half on kang with leaf storm. Jirachi set is strange but with double twind I dropped icy wind for draco and replaced iron head with flash cannon to make it all special. Draco meteor helps remove dragon types that might threaten latias while setting up. Next togekiss is there for redirection and nice resists to darks, it can also set twind so latias can recover quickly before taking hits. I replaced airslash with dazzling gleam to help get rid of hydrei and scrafty quickly, both of which are threats to latias. Mew is there for the classic transform, it also helps against Kang PuP because u can either spore it, encore it into pup, or transform into kang. Finally amoonguss is there for the bulky spore support.

Tl;dr Use follow me. Ez.
