the idea behind this team was to bring a lot of hard hitters to beat up redirection. i brought a lot of legendaries because legendaries usually have a good matchup against non-legendaries (like linoone). the team admittedly lacks good speed control and relies on the natural bulkiness of the pokemon. pwnemon wants the landorus to be scarf so you could try that.

use damp rock always. also use rain dance kingdra, it's the best 3rd move. thanks Hashtag. the idea behind waterium z is that you should try to get the game where you depend less on muddy water. that means hydro vortex will hit and then you have 1 less time where you have to depend on muddy water's accuracy

idk what this zapdos spread does either Pocket. and the tapu fini spread is hella lost in time. sitrus volt switch zapdos lets you set tailwind, switch out and get a threat in and maximally utilize your tailwind turns. sitrus volt switch zap > misty seed zapdos. i thought it was a good call to bring this standard team this week. i liked lando over zygarde for this team

dual speed control jirachi is a lotta fun. max hp iapapaapappa helps against kanga seismic toss. jirachi outspeeds base 130's after an icy wind. sky drop helps setup. i like knock off instead of play rough on azumarill bc of jirachi, but now that jirachi isnt legal i can see play rough for kanga and zygarde.

Despite what it looks like, this is a fairly simple setup to use. I will break down the role of each pokemon below.

Modest Whimsicott- Priority Tailwind setter, Moonblast gives it STAB coverage, Energy Ball is predominately there for Fini, thats a personal preference, another move can be used instead, Endeavor plays right into the focus sash and Whimsicott's frailness makes it more useful to take hp out of bulky or resisting mons much easier. I put more SP Att because the extra speed is almost moot especially in tailwind

Modest Tapu Lele- Whimsicott's friend, it can prevent other pranksters who max speed from taunting and fake out users from preventing the setting of tailwind, protect defends Lele, Psychic is my personal preference with STAB but Psyshock is just as viable honestly, Dazzling gleam > Moonblast simply because you will predominately use it with an endeavoring Whimsicott and this will allow to usually finish off the weakened mon plus do some damage to the other mon as well for free. Taunt is simply there to shut down porygon2 TR users, because despite being able to survive in the TR, this is not a TR setup and you dont want to be in that battle. I put more EV in HP instead of speed because again its moot under Tailwind, 247 outspeeds scarfed 100s under Tailwind, and it outspeeds unscarfed ones under Tailwind after taking icy wind, also allows it to underspeed many mons in TR. Psychium Z allows you to take out any bulky mon like milotic or Charizard Y etc that Lele cant OHKO normally and can pose a problem with status or strong under weather moves, it also does a decent chunk of damage (about 50-70%) on bulky pokemon that resist lele such as celesteela and ferrothorn.

Jolly Kangaskhan- Simplest mon on the team, hit fast, hit hard. It is jolly to outspeed kingdra in rain and excadrill in sand when your team is under Tailwind and to outspeed anything under 328 speed. Double Edge is the hard hitter, return just doesnt really hit hard enough to OHKO enough pokemon, Double edge will OHKO most of the more frail pokemon such as a Timid Lele. Seismic Toss is there to finish off mons or to weaken bulky mons such as celesteela and alolan muk, it is also useful against the tapus and mega mawile and anything with a low base HP (OHKOs Shuckle). Many may ask why aqua tail, in short, Low kick is a great move here for tyranitar and heatran, but then you have nothing to hit Ghost types and when jolly low kick doesnt OHKO enough pokemon honestly and its easy to switch in on and then you dont do much damage. Aqua Tail also gets boosted under rain, and under rain Jolly Khan can usually OHKO Heatran, Tyranitar, Excadrill, Alolan Marowak, overall just a good coverage move that has a few more uses than any other potential attack.

Modest Politoed is probably my favorite pokemon on this team and yet the one that is expected to do the least. I had been using a suicune for another tailwind user and because its bulkier than politoed, but with more and more weather users coming into play politoed made more sense. Rain can shut down sand rush excadrill and drought charizard Y (and torkoal) simply by switching in to moves politoed resists. I recently put in ice beam to give a little more dragon/landorus coverage, his speed EVs are fast enough that under tailwind he is faster than mega salamence, but still low for TR, decent amount of bulk. There are a number of items that could be used here, mystic water allows it to OHKO heatran under rain but not much else, Sitrus berry doesnt heal enough to be effective with this build, 50% berries arent used a lot because he is either too bulky or not bulky enough for the ones that OHKO him like Koko, so I threw a wrench in the system and gave him bright powder which can stop the enemies momentum when a 100% accuracy attack doesnt land, it also helps immensely with attacks such as muddy water, hypnosis, blizzard (in rain), focus blast and other lower accuracy attacks by making them even harder to land so politoed can switch in on one of those attacks and not be hit half the time, haze is there predominately to shut down gyardos and fini from bulking since they cant kill politoed OHKO with only 1 or 2 boosts.

Modest Porygon2 is solid TR setter to stop much faster teams, also a very good tactic to fake tailwind to make them tailwind and then TR. Electric/Ice are coverage moves, Shadow Ball > STAB Tri Attack because its good at hitting Metagross and Aegislash and such for decent damage which helps your fairies immensely. The speed investment is to outspeed base 100 pokemon under tailwind.

Adamant Hoopa-unbound - This is the big hitter, with an attack that goes through protect, this is the failsafe to protect the fairies, it also OHKOs most TR setters , Gunk shot is for the Tapus mainly, fire punch is for further coverage against ferrothorn, genesect, and kartana, under tailwind hoopa outspeeds genesect scarfed and is just faster than the Lele in this setup to break protect for it so it can then hit right after, protect is on the set because Hoopa is frail.

Best of Luck!

The best asset of this team is that you have two solid offensive lead options, depending on your matchup. A Lele + Deo lead is threatening AF, and if your opponent walls that, you can just lead with Politoed + Kingdra (and vice versa).

Tapu Lele and Deoxys-Attack serve as the first offensive core of this team, and often times I lead with this. Between Scarf Lele and Deoxys, you're probably going to kill something turn one if you play things correctly. Deo outspeeds Lele, Deo runs Knock-Off, and Lele runs Taunt despite being scarfed; this allows you to prevent a TR setter equipped with Mental Herb from setting TR. Otherwise, they both just hit hard and fast. Focus Blast > HP ground because you hit Heatran just as hard, but can also hit Ferrothorn and Tyranitar at the expense of worse accuracy.

Offensive Thundurus is the ultimate counter against opposing weather teams. Thunderbolt kills Charizards, Focus Blast kills Tyranitars, and Rain Dance resets the weather. Electrium Z ensures that you can OHKO Celesteelas with Thunderbolt. Alternatively, if you're intent on CT'ing a sand team you can run Fightingium Z for a more powerful/accurate Focus Blast.

Politoed/Pelipper and Kingdra form the second offensive core of this team. Lately I've enjoyed Politoed more despite the Pelipper hypetrain, because a Helping Hand-boosted Hydro Pump in rain is a guaranteed OHKO against even the bulkiest of Tapu Leles (and in general this combo hits things like a truck). Politoed is also bulkier overall vs. Pelipper and doesn't click x against weaker electric moves. Scald hits decently hard under rain, and Icy Wind provides speed control. That said, Pelipper is definately a good mon too, and it runs a myraid of awesome support moves that give Politoed competition. I prefer Scald > Hurricane because it hits harder under rain, has SE coverage against more relevant mons, and has a good chance to burn things. Tailwind provides great speed control, and lets Kingdra thrive even against opposing weather, tailwinds, or paralysis. Wide Guard is a super valuable support move that protects Thundurus against rock slide and Metagross against Earthquake. U-turn lets Peli set rain then gtfo so you can have two wallbreakers on your field.

Kingdra is an awesome rain sweeper that forces out opposing Mega Salamences, bypasses Jirachi with Muddy Water, and just hits really hard with its Water STAB and Draco Meteor. On the Politoed variant of the team, you can OHKO all variants of Tapu Lele with Hydro Pump after Helping Hand support which matters alot. Without Helping Hand, you still have an 87.5 chance of OHKO'ing 4 HP 0 SpD variants of Lele with Hydro Pump.

Mega Metagross is the perfect mega for this team, as it benefits from from both Psychic Terrain (bc powerful Zen Headbutts) and rain (bc *0.5 fire damage). Zen Headbutt abuses Psychic Terrain, allowing Meta to OHKO Mega Charizard which is important since it also outspeeds it. Iron Head checks all the Tapus and offers a secondary STAB move. Ice Punch kills Salamence, Zygarde and Landorus. Just be wary of Intimidates prior to Mega Evolving to avoid the attack drops.

e: see talkingtree's notes below, too.

There's been a lot of talk in discord about PsySpam lately. The one I posted earlier this year is a bit out of date - here's what I'm using now:

Terrakion @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified

Jolly Nature

Notable changes:

Waterium Z > Life Orb on Kingdra for massive damage that also bypasses Kingdra's otherwise shoddy accuracy
Terrakion > Thundurus for better matchups against Ferrothorn and opposing weather setters (I also use Psychic Seed Zapdos on another variant of this team)
Eject Button > w/e I was running on Toed before; Politoed makes an excellent pivot that allows you to keep as many breakers alive and on the field as possible
Thunder Punch > Ice Punch on Metagross for a better Celesteela matchup, since most of the team already breaks down Lando/Mence/Zygarde (I still like Ice Punch in that slot sometimes tho)
Slower, bulkier Lele for more longevity and a higher chance of maintaining Psychic Terrain, especially when I lead with Lele + Deo
Psyshock > Psychic on Lele for better MU versus Seed users, CM Fini, and basically anything with SpD > Def which is a lot of the meta rn

Other options as noted from other players:

pwnemon uses Specs on Deo to kill everything but the bulkiest of resists under Psychic Terrain
Ludicolo or Zapdos are options over Terrakion
pm me if I missed anything else relevant, i'll edit it in here :I

Thanks for the update, GenOne! Have you considered Terrain Extender to extend Psychic Terrain for 8 turns? Seeing how half of your team receives a power boost from the terrain, I think it's worth trying over Sitrus.

I don't think I've ever played a game where my terrain stayed up for the full 5 turns, unless the opp just didn't have a Tapu or was another Lele team.

Started with a simple sand core, comprising of Tyranitar/Excadrill. After a few games, noticed that I lost to an annoying amount of scarf Lando-T, so I added one in there as well. At some point, I dropped Excadrill entirely for a Special Wall in Celesteela. Inferno Overdrive at +1 ohko's landorus-t, while Tapu Fini is a reliable switch-in to many rain teams while Koko is not in play. After another few games, I decided to put Muk-A on the team to check all the Tapus, while making the team slightly less TR-Weak.

My Leads:
Fini+Landorus: fairly common for me, with Lando forcing out physical attackers after an intimidate, and Tapu Fini being able to hit many things that Lando can't check.

Tyranitar-Landorus: The sand lead, which is usually my anti-TR lead. TLDR, attack the thing that's gonna set tr.

Ferrothorn+Tapu Fini: a little on the bulkier side, Ferrothorn begins it's long process of leech seed stalling while fini hits a fair amount of opponents with muddy water. you can also hit things fairly hard with it's 2 stab moves.

Notable Counters:
TR, lol, tr fucks me really hard.

Milotic is also fairly annoying

That's all for now, if anyone has any suggestions/teamfixes, they would be greatly appreciated!

Checkmater · May 1, 2017

no mega, could use some tailwind to compliment cb ttar, would recommend replacing celesteela and muk alola unless you have express reasons you want them there
you shouldn't be getting fucked by tr if you're playing it right

Started with a simple sand core, comprising of Tyranitar/Excadrill. After a few games, noticed that I lost to an annoying amount of scarf Lando-T, so I added one in there as well. At some point, I dropped Excadrill entirely for a Special Wall in Celesteela. Inferno Overdrive at +1 ohko's landorus-t, while Tapu Fini is a reliable switch-in to many rain teams while Koko is not in play. After another few games, I decided to put Muk-A on the team to check all the Tapus, while making the team slightly less TR-Weak.

My Leads:
Celesteela+Landorus: fairly common for me, with Lando forcing out physical attackers after an intimidate, and celesteela being able to tank many things that Lando can't check. Taps things like Marowak-A, Tapu Koko, Muk-A, and anything else that Earthquake hits. Also bops char-y with a rock slide.

Tyranitar-Landorus: The sand lead, which is usually my anti-TR lead. TLDR, attack the thing that's gonna set tr.

Celesteela+Tapu Fini: a little on the bulkier side, Celesteela begins it's long process of leech seed stalling while fini hits a fair amount of opponents with muddy water. Wide guard also prevents pesky discharges.

Notable Counters:
TR, lol, tr fucks me really hard.

Milotic is also fairly annoying

That's all for now, if anyone has any suggestions/teamfixes, they would be greatly appreciated!

id suggest gengar-mega over muk since your team doesnt have a mega evolution and doesnt really synergize well with muk, while gengar helps with your tapu fini matchup. also it allows you to trap ludicolo (with the help of tyranitar reseting opposing rain) that otherwise runs over your team. on this team id suggest u go with hp ice to deal with salamence better.

another option is ferrothorn over celesteela, which helps with the match ups mentioned above, when u do that concider going salamence-mega over muk with the mixed set, as your team would really appreciate some form of speedcontrol.

on the movesets: i dont see any reason why you should run blizzard on tapu fini, id suggest putting hydro pump over that, as it gives you a stronger water stab and doesnt get blocked by wide guard. on tyranitar superpower and fire punch overlap as they only hit ferrothorn, and between your volcarona and the hp fire fini you should be more than solid. ice punch and stone edge in 3rh and 4th slot should be more usefull that what u currently have. if u decide to go with salamence you should take some investment into speed, 160 spe ev's allow it to outspeed gengar-mega in tailwind while 212 with jolly nature outspeed scarf landorus. oh and volcarona should always run +spe nature as it cant afford to get revenge killed by scarf base 90- pokemon (landorus and tapu lele).

Ok so this is a team I've been working on for a while now and it's fairly consistent. It mostly revolves around the flexible pivot Nature Power Tapu koko and supporting its ability to volt switch on threats and wear down teams with dual stab. Misty Terrain gives it much needed single target fairy stab. Fini set is standard Cm which can set up on slower bulky teams while also preventing status. Salamence helps get rid of Bulu and Landorus, and can either be used early game to deal hefty damage to shit or used to clean up later when Snorlax has wore down its threats. Ferro is another great powerhouse with band that beats electrics like Koko and fairies, dealing a shitton to switches with gyro balls and being able to wear down bulkier mons with seeds, while also increasing its longevity. The hoopa and Snorlax core is effective both early on and later to be able to beat offense and set up Snorlax so that the opponent is forced to pressure it.

I built this team back when Kangaskhan had still never lost to a mega other than itself and Gengar in SPL and I knew Stax liked using Kangaskhan, but I still use this team in tournament matches after the Kanga ban because I think it's a really solid team. Mega Gengar is so so good, its STABs allow it to hit basically everything in the format at least neutrally, and Sludge Bomb is amazing in a meta with so many fairies. The EV spread was a product of Tramplers discord chat but mainly Memoric's, it survives a Life Orb Thunderbolt from Timid Tapu Koko in Electric Terrain should you lose the speed tie, and also survives a Thousand Arrows from Adamant Zygarde. I used Disable over HP Ice against Stax to shut down Kangaskhan even more, but I think HP Ice is better overall to snipe Landorus and Salamence. Rockium Tyranitar was miltankmilk's idea and it was super cool. Straight up OHKOing Zapdos and Salamence is quite valuable, and it does really good neutral damage too. Max Attack was a no brainer, and the speed investment lets Tyranitar outspeed Deoxys-A in Tailwind. Celesteela is another Pokemon of which I’m a huge fan, as it has the potential to just win games on its own with Leech Seed and a strong STAB Steel move, which hits most of the format for great damage. Wide Guard was picked to help protect Gengar and Tyranitar from Landorus and Zygarde a bit better and just to give the team a little more defensive flexibility. Choice Band Landorus has actually been one of my favorite pokemon in this format, Intimidate is as good as ever and the increased damage output is amazing for a team like this one that has limited offensive presence otherwise. I think Bandorus is especially good on teams with Zapdos, since Zapdos provides both reliable speed control (decreasing the need for Scarf Landorus) and an Earthquake immunity. I like to have at least 2 ground immunities on teams with Choice Landorus, so Zapdos and Celesteela fit the bill. The last two Pokemon don’t really need an explanation, we all know that Fini Zapdos is amazing. They’re just the standard Calm Mind and Misty Seed sets, nothing special there. I like this team a lot, and hopefully y’all do too. Thanks for reading!

if u read this god bless u LOL
mew/gengar is the lead most of the time mew gets up screens and originally had boom to immediately go into a set up mon but ally switch really helps out vs deo lele and with setting up. also mew is nice for keeping in the back for fake out/getting screens back up. i dont like transform but i guess u can use it. evs outspeed timid lele max hp 4 bulk and 40 def bc why not. this gengar set is hot lol not being able to do damage to aegislash is kinda lame sometimes tho. focus blast is mainly 4 weakening heatran but also hits ttar 4 celesteela. spread is the standard one that lives koko tbolt etc. etc.

this ttar is for deo lele mainly but also helps out vs hoopa/mence/kyurem/koko/gengar/sun. gets up rocks to help out the sweepers. i cant completely remember what the evs do i think ice beam kills mence/av lando/zygarde with the right amount of chip 2hkos kyurem after life orb recoil has a good chance to ko gengar. ok pursuit mechanics in doubles are weird af so ill impart my knowledge to u pls tell me if im wrong LOL if the mon you pursuit protects and its partner switches you pursuit the partner and if they both switch out the faster target is hit... i think thats how it works.

this is getting kinda long.. ima blaze thru the rest pls forgive me
ok for real the only reason i made this was to use autotomize celesteela lol. air slash and fire blast is all the coverage u need with the rest of the team giga drain/mixed w/ heavy slam is ass and wide guard is nice af. evs give u the best shot at outspeeding sh!t like genesect unless they're max speed. zygarde's evs give it a leftovers number/let it outspeed deo-a at +1 lando eq/amoonguss(probably some other stuff) doesn't break its sub with screens. serp is for rain/fini works well with screens and just fits so perfectly so why not. evs let it live mence double edge with reflect and outspeed base 110s. im leaving out a bunch of stuff having to do with matchups, synergy, alternative options etc. etc. but i hate writing long posts like this so this is it :p

overall i think screens are extremely unexplored in the doubles overused metagame but can be very difficult to beat because of their obscurity also gengar/zygarde are stupid pokemon

I built this originally for DPL Week 4 and wound up using it in a few rounds of Seasonals as well as giving it to my good friend Tman to use in DPL playoffs, which wound up working quite well for him. The idea is to set up one of the two sweepers on this team and use Fini / Mew to aid in the setup while using Salamence and Heatran to provide defensive pivots and provide the team with immediate offensive pressure. The idea started with Mew / Snorlax / Fini as a core that provided a ton of setup opportunities for Snorlax, particularly with TR Mew. Salamence was chosen as a Mega due to its Intimidate support and ability to come in and start dishing out damage immediately. Zygarde was chosen as the secondary sweeper to provide the team a faster mode and an Electric resist as Tapu Koko was an issue at this point. Crunch is sort of silly but all the other moves seem mediocre at best, and it gives you an option to hit Gengar/Aegislash through Wide Guard after you've burned your Z Move. Heatran was added as a last because the team wanted a good defensive pivot that could also apply immediate Trick Room pressure. Eruptran is insanely underrated in my opinion so I hope you give it a shot on both this team and others.

164 Atk Aerilate Mega Salamence Double-Edge vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hoopa-Unbound: 364-429 (100 - 117.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

To kick off the low-key release of Mega Abomasnow, here's a team I used to peak the DOU ladder:

Brave Nature

I noticed that Mega Abomasnow, in addition to being the meta's first truly viable TR mega (sorry Mawile) also does a fantastic job at keeping the meta's prominent Intimidate users at bay. So SwagPulse Fini + physical attackers seemed like a good fit here, and the type synergy with Abomasnow was looking good too. Hoopa-U is the obligatory offensive TR setter, and it works well with Fini which can give it both recovery and attack boosts. I added Victini mainly because I wanted a second TR setter that also helped the Ferrothorn match-up (a beta version of this team had Diancie in this slot), but as it turns out a V-Create Fini at +2 attack is an absolute beast. On this team, Fini moves before Victini inside of TR, so you can power up Victini prior to launching a V Create or Bolt Strike -- I can name on one hand the mons that want to absorb either of those hits lol. With a solid FWG core + Hoopa-U complete, I added in Snorlax as the obligatory late-game wincon that just doesn't die assuming its checks are cleared out, and I'd say the first four mons on this team do a good job of exactly that. Finally, I added Scrafty for Intimidate and Fake Out support, but added my own personal twist; Eject Button is a seriously underrated item that so far has only seen mainstream use on Politoed. Scrafty is a good candidate for Eject Button as it provides upfront utility, but can quickly become dead weight if left on the field. Eject Button lets this team maintain more favorable positioning overall.

e: I actually ended up deciding to run 11 Speed IVs on Hoopa-U so Fini can Swagger Hoopa-U *before* it attacks.

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm not too much of a fan of posting teams but to help people who wanna play dou, I'm posting one of the teams that I used to top ladder with 1865 elo. Not only that, I have used the same team on my multiple alts which are #2, #3 on ladder, so I'm sure this is a solid team!

Diancie @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 192 HP / 108 Atk / 204 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Diamond Storm
- Moonblast
- Trick Room

- Water Spout
- Fake Out
- Ice Beam
- Aura Sphere

Heatran @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Heat Wave
- Earth Power
- Eruption

Tapu Bulu @ Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Horn Leech
- Wood Hammer
- Superpower
- Nature's Madness

Bronzong @ Psychium Z
Ability: Heatproof
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 2 Atk / 56 Def / 200 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe

Landorus-Therian @ Life Orb
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 164 HP / 252 SpA / 92 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Earth Power
- Stone Edge
- Protect

So, the team is quite easy to use. What you have to do is set up z tr with bronzong and then spam hypnosis, while its partner can wreck the opponent's team. Bulu is added so that you can change misty and electric terrains in which otherwise you can't hypno mons. Bulu is av so can take some special hits and hit back and checks water types too which otherwise trouble this team. Heatran is standard shuca eruptran. Blastoise has fake out support and aura sphere to hit lax and ferros. Finally, lando-t is special to ohko bulus and leles with sludge bombs.

Overall, I wanted to recreate a concept I really liked in ORAS, but at the time was too much of a novice to pull off skillfully: Trick Room Sun.

Mega Charizard Y is the Mega of this team; it sets sun to counter rain teams, and offers an offensive presence prior to you setting Trick Room up. Heat Wave is Heat Wave. Solar Beam is for Fini and other bulky Waters. Hidden Power Ice is to snipe out Mence and Landorus-T under TR when they think that Charizard's an easy pick.
Bulu is the TR Grass-type that Zard wished it had in ORAS. It's a fantastic second Rain/Water-type check, and it also helps beat Rock- and Ground-types that Zard hates. It's also a psuedo Shcua Berry for Rhydon and Tran :)
I don't think I've seen a competitive team consider Rhydon yet this generation?? It has great bulk, great attack, and also gives Electric-type like Koko the big .|. which Charizard appreciates. Its also just a secondary physical attacker (Bulu being the first) that underspeeds and snipes down Hoopa-U under TR. I honestly think Rhydon is being slept on a little as a low-tier pick for TR teams.
Eruptran hits like a truck under sun. Safety Goggles is something Amoonguss just isn't prepared for in SM, and this team needed a reliable check to Spore since it isn't running Fini or Koko. Flamethrower > Heat Wave to bypass Wide Guard in the absence of Firium Z. Also tbh, on sun teams you can never go wrong with a single-target Fire attack.
Cress is a nice bulky TR setter that also serves as a potential endgame wincon if you clear out its threats beforehand. It has fallen a bit out of style, but works pretty well on this team. Again, bringing back Safety Goggles because the opp's gonna think they can just spam this non-Fini/Koko team with Spore (except I just said that in this post, whoops). Edit: I actually like Necrozma more on this team - it seems to pull its weight more due to Stored Power's exponentially increasing base power. Yes, Necrozma. That mon that we all forgot existed :I
Mimikyu is also underrated AF - it's one of the meta's most reliable TR setters, even if it's not the strongest mon. I usually prefer to partner Mimi with Swagpulse Fini to give this mon an actual offensive presence, but on this team I find that as long as I can keep TR up, the rest of the team can just do its thing and win.

Overall, not a top-tier team but definitely something fresh imo, since everyone's tired of Fini+Lax teams. Hope people have fun trying this team out, and hopefully more people are encouraged to explore mons that haven't been tried yet! Tbh, I feel there's still a lot of sleeper picks out there that people are just being too lazy to explore. Cheers!

Edit: I actually like Necrozma more on this team - it seems to pull its weight more due to Stored Power's exponentially increasing base power. Yes, Necrozma. That mon that we all forgot existed :I

Alright ladies and gentlemen, I'm not too much of a fan of posting teams but to help people who wanna play dou, I'm posting one of the teams that I used to top ladder with 1865 elo. Not only that, I have used the same team on my multiple alts which are #2, #3 on ladder, so I'm sure this is a solid team!

So, the team is quite easy to use. What you have to do is set up z tr with bronzong and then spam hypnosis, while its partner can wreck the opponent's team. Bulu is added so that you can change misty and electric terrains in which otherwise you can't hypno mons. Bulu is av so can take some special hits and hit back and checks water types too which otherwise trouble this team. Heatran is standard shuca eruptran. Blastoise has fake out support and aura sphere to hit lax and ferros. Finally, lando-t is special to ohko bulus and leles with sludge bombs.

What does the Diancie spread do? I thought most people just used 252+ attack this gen.

Blaze45 · Jul 2, 2017

That was a weakness policy diancie at first. But then i realized I have nuff sweepers in tr so I opted for longevity with iapapa berry. That spread is what I had for my wp diancie from gen 6 GenOne

Fun little Gardevoir team I put together, feel free to try it out •3•

Import

Conceptually its based around Icy Wind Gardevoir and Volcarona with various Pokemon to remove threats to Volcarona. Fini ties everything together really well with Heal Pulse, I only wish it got Icy Wind too :blobcry:

The main difference between the 2 versions is the match ups each one does better in. The ludicolo one tends to have better match ups all around due to wider coverage of water/grass/ice. The kingra one wrecks harder due to sheer power and out speeds fast scarfs like lele and genesect. Basically, ludicolo is for playing safe, kingra is easy win on good match up.

My previous coil milo team had some flaws I wanted to patch up, so I tried to do that in this one. Zygarde to lando since I wanted a ground resist. Tape lele to an even bulkier set for maximum longevity. Ninetails to pz since I wanted a win button to take advantage of coil hypno.

I wanted to make a team that looks kind of like an ORAS team so what better way to do that than with genies. Unfortanately Thund-I got a big nerf so I decided to go with Thund-T instead. Next since I needed a Tapu I went with Lele because I already had an electric type, Bulu would hurt Lando, and Fini wasn't powerful enough for my liking. I then added Heatran which provided me a steel type and a good spread move. Amoonguss was next because nobody really runs sleep checks anymore and I had lele to counter opposing terrain, and since redirection is always nice. Lastly I needed a Mega so I went with Char-Y since it helps Heatran with sun, gives me another flying mon to eq beside, and gives me speed control. I went with flamethrower on it so I would have a more reliable was of beating wide guard users.

I got the idea for adrenaline orb Ninetales-A when dubs room was discussing what mons would work with adrenaline orb. I choose Ninetales because with the adrenaline orb it can outspeed and ohko scarf Landos and outspeed and ohko opposing Mence. Heatran was added because it was good synergy with Ninetales. Mence was next to be added since I figured I would take advantage of aurora veil and use a set up mon. Eq may seem weird especially with no ground resists but my team was still a little Tran weak at the end and it gave a nice surprise factor. I then added Gastro because it helps against Koko, adds another way to beat Tran and helps beat sand which this team struggles with. Lastly I added Genesect mostly because I think it's a very good mon and worked well with the team. I went with tbolt or just a little bit of extra help against Zard.

I wanted to build a PZ team and since I really liked aurora veil + set up mon I decided to try out blizzard PZ. I then added Lando because intimidate gives PZ even more chances to set up. I went with U-turn on special Lando because this team is weak to tr and it helps against Hoopa. I then added Mence as my mega for even more intimidate and speed control. I then added Koko as my Tapu because it helps give PZ giving it a more powerful tbolt, again using taunt just to help with tr just that little bit. For the last mon I went with regular Swampert because I wanted a wide guard user to help PZ against scarf Landos that still outspeed it and Trans, but I also wanted that wide guard user to beat Tran and Lando without using wide guard and Swampert did just that.

I wanted to build a team around Mega Scizor because I feel it's a good underrated mon. I decided to go double Tapu so I would almost always be able to have terrain up for Scizor to spam bullet punch. Next I went with Lando-T simply because of how good it is. Next was av Kyube since it helped switch into a lot of things team could not and offer some nice speed control that wasn't there and Koko was already on the team helping power fusion bolts. Originally my last mon I chose was Togekiss to help re-direct moves helping Scizor set up, but during practice it didn't really do much and I was really Genesect weak. Frania then suggested Victini over Togekiss which helps the gene problem and keeps a second form of speed control and it ended up working a lot better for my team.

This is my version of the well known psyspam core. I unfortunately didn't get to use signal beam Deo-A which I liked for luring and ohkoing Hoopa in ssnls, however I was able to pull it off in test matches and I really like it. I then have scarf flamethrower Genesect to deal with scarf mons that beat psyspam like opposing scarf Genesect and Lando-T. Next I wanted something hat would just destroy Heatran and other steel types so I went with Lando-I since it doesn't have to worry about Aegislash wide guarding and always ohkos Heatran through shuca berry. I then added Zapdos because I didn't want completely no bulk on my team and Zapdos is really good at getting tailwind up for when my team needs it. (opposing tailwind/rain) Now the mega slot has changed between Blastoise and Gyarados. I originally had Blastoise against Frania since I could have a bulky mon (bulkier than Mence since it runs bulk) that deals with steels better. Gyarados also helps with steels but is less bulkier for intimidate on the team which helps Zapdos set up tailwind when needed.

I really wanted to build a team that worked with curse Ferrothorn and nothing helps out Ferrothorn more than rain. I then added Lando-T for intimidate which helps Ferrothorn take hits like double edge from Mence and superpower from Lando-T better while setting up. I still needed a tapu so I went with Koko since rain helps it run Thunder and then my I went with electrium z so it can have a powerful Z move outside of rain (and do 28% to a Ferrothorn as long as you don't do it into a protect activating the pinch berry). Kyurem-B was added last since I really like running it with Koko I had 252 atk life orb Kyube to ohko Lele with iron head however I would prob switch it to earth power and go back to 252 spA or even vest Kyube would work.

I thought I would share my new undefeated Marshadow team that just recently peaked top 10 and 90% gxe on ladder I like to call Marshadou.

Marshadow @ Marshadium Z
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spectral Thief
- Close Combat
- Shadow Sneak
- Protect

Marshadow @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spectral Thief
- Close Combat
- Shadow Sneak
- Ice Punch

Marshadow @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Spectral Thief
- Close Combat
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Protect

Marshadow @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spectral Thief
- Close Combat
- Shadow Sneak
- Protect

Tapu Koko @ Choice Specs
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch

Tapu Koko @ Life Orb
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Swagger
- Protect

Now I thought very long and hard about what works well with a mon that has perfect coverage. I thought that 3 other Marshadows would be a great core. Now lastly I needed a tapu and I wanted it to help Marshadow spam shadow sneak so I thought tapu koko. Now swagger ban hasn't been implemented that and I needed another filler mon so I figured another Tapu Koko with swagger would be a good fit. Once swagger gets banned you might want to use taunt or something.

I really enjoyed using my team for the suspect test and wanted to share it, but don't feel like writing a full RMT so...

Kyurem-Black @ Assault Vest
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 224 HP / 56 Atk / 72 Def / 52 SpA / 12 SpD / 92 Spe
Relaxed Nature
- Ice Beam

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Atk / 40 SpD / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature

- Bug Bite
- Swords Dance
- Protect

Tapu Fini @ Mago Berry
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Def / 100 SpA / 28 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Muddy Water
- Heal Pulse
- Protect

Tapu Koko @ Life Orb

Timid Nature

I definitely wanted to use Assault Vest Kyurem-B, because it's a set that I didn't really understand but had seen others praising, and Marshadow, to get a feel for its place in the meta. Kyurem-B is generally a great pick on the ladder to ignore abilities and be safe from Shedinja shenanigans or other surprises. Next, I definitely needed a check to Fairy-types, and Mega Metagross would struggle with opposing Marshadow, so I decided to give Mega Scizor a go. To help out my priority users, I added two non-Lele island guardians, Fini to check Rain and Koko to check Waters and Celesteela. Finally, no Intimidate, so Lando-T was a clear option.

When getting into sets, I was curious to try Marshadium Z, if I'm being honest it was mostly for the animation but it also happens to fit pretty well on this team. Mega Scizor has Light Metal because there's no reason to attack non-Mega anyway and this makes it a better switchin to Low Kick. Fini and Koko are pretty standard sets, Heal Pulse support is great for my first three - a setup sweeper, a bulky tank, and a stat stealer. Finally, n10sit told me that I was weak to Genesect, so I decided to use Yache Berry Landorus-T. This also let me add Stealth Rock, which is quite useful for Zard, Volcarona, Focus Sash mons, and the various Pokemon that would otherwise be able to take +2 Bullet Punch from Mega Scizor. Dropping Protect was a pretty risky move, but Earthquake for STAB, Knock Off for removing Genesect's Choice Scarf and taking on Aegislash, and Stone Edge to beat Zapdos 1v1 all seemed pretty crucial, and the set is bulky enough that it doesn't really miss Protect.

Spread notes are in this hide tag:

Kyurem-B:

Enough Speed to outrun -1 Nihilego, also creeps Hashtag's set by 1 point
2HKOes 252/128+ Tapu Fini with Fusion Bolt
Survives two 60 Atk Mega Salamence Double-Edges
OHKOes 252/4 AV Landorus-T with Ice Beam
Dump in SpDef (I think)

Mega Scizor:

OHKOes 0/4 Tapu Lele with Bullet Punch (helpful for switching in another Tapu and targeting it)
Outspeeds my own Tapu Fini so that a Bug Bite KO can make Muddy Water a single-target attack
max HP, dump in SpD

Tapu Fini:

Survives +1 Tectonic Rage from 252+ Zygarde
Survives non-LO Shaymin-S Seed Flare
Dump in SpA

Landorus-T:

Survives two 60 Atk Mega Salamence Double-Edges
Survives +1 252 SpA Genesect Ice Beam
2HKOes 0/0 Mega Ttar with Earthquake
Dump in Spe, which also outruns Kingdra outside of rain
