Sup' Smogon I made this team with my buddy Zuchtrest recently which turned out to be pretty cool so yeah.
The idea was to abuse the broken defensive core of hippo,steela,pex,sableye combined with lele as a broken wallbreaker which doesnt lose anything from spaming psychic and using scarf kartana as the most reliable speedcontroll because of its high speed tier,great typing and spamable moves.
In depth
Sableye-Mega @ Sablenite
Ability: Prankster
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Metal Burst
- Will-O-Wisp
- Recover
Sableye helps vs the balance and stall matchup as well as threats like zam and medi, not much to explain here. Max spd Metal burst is mainly for boltbeam cm magearna which gives the team alot of trouble +6 max spa Ice Beam closely doesn't kill.
+6 252 SpA Magearna Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Sableye-Mega: 256-302 (84.4 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 124 SpD
Impish Nature
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Heavy Slam
- Flamethrower
Steela is the main Flying/psychic resist of the the team and a great wincon in itself as it's fairly hard to punish by itself. The spread allows it to take on Pinsir and lele optimally.
Toxapex @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 60 Def / 200 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Recover
- Haze
Not much too say about this broken mon either, the spread is to take on zard y/heatran better and still have some physical bulk left. Tspikes in itself are an other great wincon as well as scald being an amazing spamable move and this mon being unable to die ever.
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Whirlwind
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
Hippo is a pretty reliable rocker and defensive backbone with Whirlwind, as well as a great electric immunity, it avoids getting 2hkod by specs Koko closely.
Tapu Lele @ Psychium Z
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Moonblast
This set looks kinda retarded but it actually always worked out amazing. Zuchtrest was like 40HP would let it live a +1 fire blast from Volc (yeah idk what kinda benchmark that is but i trust him lol) and Modest just provides a alot better damage output since Psychium already is insanely strong.
Some calcs to show its power:
252+ SpA Tapu Lele Shattered Psyche (175 BP) vs. 40 HP / 0 SpD Mawile-Mega in Psychic Terrain: 246-290 (98 - 115.5%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
+1 252+ SpA Tapu Lele Shattered Psyche (175 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Magearna in Psychic Terrain: 312-367 (103.6 - 121.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+2 252+ SpA Tapu Lele Shattered Psyche (175 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Eviolite Chansey in Psychic Terrain: 597-703 (84.9 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
Kartana @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Smart Strike
- Leaf Blade
- Defog
- Sacred Sword
Kartana is just a perfect revenge killer to round up this balance team as it also provides the Team with a defoger.Import:

Threats
Has a variety of threatning sets, worst to deal with are probably CM boltbeam and shift gear electrium, those have to be very carefull with pex/sab and steela vs those, other sets are pretty easy to deal with tho.
Magma storm is pretty hard to switch into you have to knock it with Sableye and start chipping it then.

You have to outplay and chip it with kartana/steela/rocks etc so yeah pretty hard.
