MAMP No worries about taking a while on that, it was meant to be a bit of an experimental challenge and I knew Absol would probably be tricky to work with. Any other requests I give you guys after this will (probably) be stuff that's certain to be more viable, unless you guys enjoy these kinds of challenges.


On Tough Claws vs Dazzling, I experimented a bit with the former in X/Y and ORAS and it worked pretty decently. Well, when it wasn't getting picked off/forced out by priority. TC might be decent with Psychic Terrain support now that I think of it. I might take and modify the team to try that out sometime.


But thanks again for taking that little crazy request on!

Short Description:
Sort of a gimmick, but I believe that Zygod can surprise a wall to M-Ray, and proceed to use the real M-Ray to win. The main issue is that if the opponent has 2 walls, you're screwed. However, I think that it is possible for team support to beat other walls / Edit the M-Ray set to beat other walls. If the builder thinks of a better idea for a sweeper, feel free to use it, but the main idea of the team is to have illusion Zygod help a sweeper win.

Short Description: sub reversal set for Lucario
I regret to inform you that building a perfect team using both of the suggested Pokemon is near impossible as Lycanroc can't beat a whole lot that Mega Lucario can't. However, I managed to build something that's almost usable, and I think this is about the best you're going to get with these mons, so here it is:


Lucario-Mega @ Lucarionite
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Reversal
- Rock Tomb
- Magnet Rise

Lycanroc-Dusk @ Choice Band
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Outrage
- Iron Head

Zygarde @ Groundium Z
Ability: Power Construct
EVs: 240 HP / 56 Atk / 128 Def / 84 SpD
Impish Nature
- Coil
- Extreme Speed
- Thousand Arrows
- Rest

Standard SubReversal Mega Lucario as requested alongside Choice Band Lycanroc Dusk. The Choice Band set was chosen over the Z move set as SubReversal Lucario covers what the freedom to switch moves would be useful against, already. From there, I make a list of what the two lost to, and found the a Groundium Zygarde is probably the best fit for the team. Have fun, but watch out for these mons as the team has no good way of dealing with them:
Taunt Mega Gyarados
Scarf Tapu Lele
Most Dragonite
Specs Magnezone
Mega Slowbro
Some Zygarde
Scarf Genesect
Greninja
Naganadel
Primarina
Tapu Fini
Band Sawk
Latios
Specs Pheromosa


If you'd like me to build a viable team around one or the other, feel free to resubmit as both Pokemon are viable on their own.

You requested that I build around Gengar, so here it is. I opted to not run standard offensive Hypnosis because it's too luck-reliant for my tastes and not the the Counter set because it's too prediction-reliant. This set can beat Donphan and Golem, nicely. Note how the whole team appears to lose to Donphan/Golem so that this lure can be used to the fullest. Aside from that, Hypnosis is still there because it's good lol.


Yet another lure, I decided to add Fairium Tapu Koko as a Kyurem-B counter (which no other Pokemon on the team counter). Aside from that, Koko also beats Gyarados which is a huge asset to the team.


These two together form a sort of two-thirds-core; that is, they cover up for each other super well, except one area in which both of them fail. This weakness is speedy Pokemon such as Naganadel, Greninja and Mega Lopunny. There's also some Pokemon such as Dragonite and Mimikyu that sleep rolls are necessary to beat. That's where specially defensive Flame Charge Will-O-Wisp Mega Charizard X comes in! (rof)


Overall, this squad is absolute fire and I'm super proud of it. Have fun!

  • Short Description: I've had this team for a pretty long time, and it works great until I approach 1500s and up, and then it just chokes. I think the main problem is that I'm weak to Psychic Surge Mewtwo-Mega-Y and set-up sweepers that carry Fire and Steel type coverage. I was thinking of making Kyogre-Primal a RegenVest set but I'm not sure.

    Regigigas is just the normal set, nothing much added.
    Ferrothorn is a nice meme and also traps and eliminates opposing Poison Heal mons that don't have pivot moves and aren't Fairy type.
    Mewtwo-Mega-Y is a powerful nuke that OHKOs Audino-Mega and Zygarde-Complete that doesn't have Assault Vest.
    Kyogre-Primal is a bulky set-up sweeper with coverage to check Rayquaza-Mega, Zygarde-Complete, Gyarados-Mega, and Mewtwo-Mega-X.
    Audino-Mega is a nice wall that steals boosts and spreads burns.
    Zygarde-Complete is also a nice wall that removes hazards and checks PH Regigigas.

Firstly, I'd like to apologize for taking so long with these requests. I've been pretty busy with university but managed to get most of them done. let me know if there's any problems with the teams, I looked over them quite a bit so hopefully they're fine.

Short Description: I'm tired of using Thimos Psyspam offense on ladder and on my down time I'd like something else to use that isn't a sample team. It'll also be fun for when I'm laddering with the pals in call and get the perspective of the builder.
Playstyle: Offense, nothing too specific whatever you guys think best. No rush either.

http://pokepast.es/4ff874481424825e

Choiced Mega Ray can be used in a variety of ways but I decided to opt for a fairly basic offensive team here with some neat techs. Banded Rayquaza puts immense pressure on balanced and stall teams, so Life Orb Marshadow partners nicely as a means of pressuring offensive teams. The two work decently at breaking the other's checks as well, Rayquaza can put Marshadow's most prominent check in Arceus-Fairy within range of a Spectral Thief which is really handy, while other physically defensive Pokemon like Celesteela, Zygarde-Complete and support Arceus forms often struggle to deal with both attackers. The Marshadow set has Pursuit and Rock Tomb slashed and it's really up to you which one you use, Pursuit provides great support against Mega Gengar which otherwise can trap Rayquaza, Arceus-Fairy and weakened Necrozma while Rock Tomb can act as a lure to Ho-Oh which is otherwise quite annoying. From there I added a bit of a defensive backbone to complement the two relatively frail offensive Pokemon. Support Dusk Mane Necrozma is a great check to all the Fairy-types in the tier and works particularly well as a rocks setter here as a result. Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy combined check most of the threatening physical attackers in the tier such as Rayquaza, Marshadow and Primal Groudon while providing anti-hazard support. The Arceus-Ground set might look a bit odd but Earthquake and Groundium Z allow it to avoid being trapped by Gothitelle, the additional power from Z-Earthquake can be useful in other situations as well. Arceus-Fairy has Magic Coat mostly as a filler so you can change that up for sure, I like Magic Coat personally to prevent hyper offensive teams from getting hazards while also making Arceus-Fairy more difficult to trap with Gothitelle. Lastly, Primal Groudon acts as a backup Xerneas check, Kyogre check and secondary wallbreaker with Swords Dance + Rest, the spread allows it to check these threats reliably, with wallbreaking being a secondary concern in most games. Hopefully you like this team, Ho-Oh balance can be a tough matchup but can be beaten with good plays.

Short description:
I have Dusk Mane as a defensive rocksetter, probably with thunder wave, and want yveltal as a scarfed Necrozma-Killer. I have been interested in the new necrozma forms since they came out, but have been having difficulty making a good team that can counter/use them effectively. I am hoping that this core is usable. If it is not, feel free to post something on my profile page about why not. Thanks!
Playstyle: Balance/Offense

http://pokepast.es/5f7c42e93eedeb97

Because I didn't want it to end up too similar to the above team I decided to go the balance route for your core. Yveltal and Dusk Mane Necrozma definitely compliment each other nicely in terms of defensive synergy so it made building a bulkier team relatively easy. When I built this team I actually added the 6 Pokemon first then added sets for each one, so I'll go through the team sort of in the order I built it. Like I said, Yveltal and Dusk Mane Necrozma were a good start, the next thing I added was Zygarde-Complete. The biggest weakness shared by Necrozma and Yveltal was Fire-types like Primal Groudon and Ho-Oh, which neither could pressure particularly easily and both were heavily threatened by. Neither enjoyed taking on strong physical attackers either given that Yveltal was requested to be Scarfed, so Zygarde-Complete filled these gaps in nicely and had a lot of options that could be used to compliment the above 2. Next came Ferrothorn, as a Primal Kyogre check and was clearly needed at this point, having a secondary Steel-type also proves useful in drawn-out games against teams with multiple Toxic-using Arceus forms, and such drawn-out games are not uncommon with this team. To round off the team's defenses, Arceus-Fairy was added as a check to Marshadow, Dragon Dance Mega Rayquaza and Zygarde-Complete. Mega Gengar was the last Pokemon added and fits nicely as a revenge killer and provides some counterplay against bulkier teams. For the Gengar set I personally like Substitute to lead well against Nuzzle Smeargle but Destiny Bond works just as well if you'd prefer that. As I filled in the sets, I found that the initially requested sets of Bulky Dusk Mane Necrozma and Scarf Yveltal both fit well so I didn't make any changes to the standard sets. One thing that resulted was a free moveslot on Ferrothorn due to Necrozma having Stealth Rock so I decided to turn this into a hazard-stacking team of sorts. Coil + DTail Zygarde also fits this hazard stacking nature nicely, as do Scarf Yveltal and Mega Gengar, which can act as effective cleaners against weakened teams. One thing to note about this team is that battles will often be on the longer end, but it is a very consistent build that is rewarding when played right.

I actually used this team in AG seasonal so here's the replay if you want to see how the team gets played: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-670180914

EDIT: Upon further testing of this team I've noticed a weakness to Calm Mind Arceus-Steel. To fix this I changed Toxic to Earthquake on Necrozma. Toxic wasn't super necessary anyways, Earthquake allows it to handily counter Arceus-Steel and get extra chip damage on Primal Groudon. I updated the paste with the new importable.

Short Description: From what I've seen so far in the AG room and in matches, Ultra Necrozma, while cool, is naturally taken care of by common stuff such as Celesteela, MSableye, Lugia, Darkceus, YGod, Marshadow, etc. From there, I think Xern would be a good partner with UNecro because it deals with Necro's checks fairly well, especially if Xern is Geo. Necro can also wear down Xern's checks such as PDon, enabling for a clean sweep. I never was one to build for myself so I'd like to see how the Mechanics go around this one.
Playstyle: Offense, but Balance is aight, too.

http://pokepast.es/d59003e5f70f5baf

While you didn't explicitly mention it in your post, I definitely think the two Pokemon you mentioned work best together on a Hyper Offensive team. I started by adding Deoxys-Speed as a suicide lead because Xerneas and Ultra Necrozma both rely heavily on chip damage to secure certain KOs. In this instance Spikes are especially helpful for putting common Defoggers within range of this team's sweepers making it much easier to keep pressure on the opponent. Mega Rayquaza got added next because it's such an amazing addition to any offensive team and it's really hard to justify not using it. In this instance Mega Rayquaza pressures both Primals as well as any physically bulky Pokemon that would check the remainder of the team. Marshadow was added next to combat priority from Extreme Killer Arceus that otherwise could cleanly sweep through the team. It also acts as a lure for Ho-Oh which can open up the way for a late-game Xerneas sweep if the opponent does happen to remove hazards. Lastly, Life Orb Yveltal with Taunt helps keep opposing Necrozma in check while providing even more priority, which stops opposing setup sweepers from running through this team. Taunt also helps keep hazards on the opponent's side of the field which is vital to keep pressure on the opponent. This team is pretty simple to use as once you set hazards it's very easy to overhwhelm defensively-oriented teams. Where the matchup is more complicated is against other offensive teams, at which point Mega Rayquaza and Xerneas become key due to their ability to boost their speed and potentially sweep through a frailer offensive team. Because it has both Mega Rayquaza and Ultra Necrozma this fulfills Aaronboyer 's request as well so consider this two birds with one stone. Watch out for opposing Marshadow when using this team, it has the potential to revenge kill a lot of the Pokemon on it and is hard to switch into given the lack of bulk here. Marshadow can't KO anything here from full unless it wins a speed tie with this team's Marshadow so keep that in mind when playing against it. This team is also quite flexible if you want to make changes, for example if you want to improve the matchup against offense you can easily use Scarf Yveltal here.

Here's a replay showing how the team plays: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-671109020

  • Short Description: I've had this team for a pretty long time, and it works great until I approach 1500s and up, and then it just chokes. I think the main problem is that I'm weak to Psychic Surge Mewtwo-Mega-Y and set-up sweepers that carry Fire and Steel type coverage. I was thinking of making Kyogre-Primal a RegenVest set but I'm not sure.

    Regigigas is just the normal set, nothing much added.
    Ferrothorn is a nice meme and also traps and eliminates opposing Poison Heal mons that don't have pivot moves and aren't Fairy type.
    Mewtwo-Mega-Y is a powerful nuke that OHKOs Audino-Mega and Zygarde-Complete that doesn't have Assault Vest.
    Kyogre-Primal is a bulky set-up sweeper with coverage to check Rayquaza-Mega, Zygarde-Complete, Gyarados-Mega, and Mewtwo-Mega-X.
    Audino-Mega is a nice wall that steals boosts and spreads burns.
    Zygarde-Complete is also a nice wall that removes hazards and checks PH Regigigas.

  • Short Description: Bruxish is a mon that really interested me due to Dazzling negating priority, and so Fakespeed. I never considered playing it seriously until USUM, which gave it Photon Geyser, the reliable Psychic STAB it needed.
    Magnezone looks like a decent partner for it, as it can trap and kill stuf like Ferro that would wall Bruxish otherwise.
    I hope it's not too much of a gimmick. If it is, then feel free to reject that request.

I'm working on this! I'm simply busy, also Bruxish is ass, so I'm kind of stuck, but I think I'm close to finishing it. Just as a little update, I added Garchomp as a base... Will post finished team asap. :]
 
Firstly, I'd like to apologize for taking so long with these requests. I've been pretty busy with university but managed to get most of them done. let me know if there's any problems with the teams, I looked over them quite a bit so hopefully they're fine.

Choiced Mega Ray can be used in a variety of ways but I decided to opt for a fairly basic offensive team here with some neat techs. Banded Rayquaza puts immense pressure on balanced and stall teams, so Life Orb Marshadow partners nicely as a means of pressuring offensive teams. The two work decently at breaking the other's checks as well, Rayquaza can put Marshadow's most prominent check in Arceus-Fairy within range of a Spectral Thief which is really handy, while other physically defensive Pokemon like Celesteela, Zygarde-Complete and support Arceus forms often struggle to deal with both attackers. The Marshadow set has Pursuit and Rock Tomb slashed and it's really up to you which one you use, Pursuit provides great support against Mega Gengar which otherwise can trap Rayquaza, Arceus-Fairy and weakened Necrozma while Rock Tomb can act as a lure to Ho-Oh which is otherwise quite annoying. From there I added a bit of a defensive backbone to complement the two relatively frail offensive Pokemon. Support Dusk Mane Necrozma is a great check to all the Fairy-types in the tier and works particularly well as a rocks setter here as a result. Arceus-Ground and Arceus-Fairy combined check most of the threatening physical attackers in the tier such as Rayquaza, Marshadow and Primal Groudon while providing anti-hazard support. The Arceus-Ground set might look a bit odd but Earthquake and Groundium Z allow it to avoid being trapped by Gothitelle, the additional power from Z-Earthquake can be useful in other situations as well. Arceus-Fairy has Magic Coat mostly as a filler so you can change that up for sure, I like Magic Coat personally to prevent hyper offensive teams from getting hazards while also making Arceus-Fairy more difficult to trap with Gothitelle. Lastly, Primal Groudon acts as a backup Xerneas check, Kyogre check and secondary wallbreaker with Swords Dance + Rest, the spread allows it to check these threats reliably, with wallbreaking being a secondary concern in most games. Hopefully you like this team, Ho-Oh balance can be a tough matchup but can be beaten with good plays.

Here's a replay to give you a sense of how the team works: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-671127161



http://pokepast.es/5f7c42e93eedeb97

Because I didn't want it to end up too similar to the above team I decided to go the balance route for your core. Yveltal and Dusk Mane Necrozma definitely compliment each other nicely in terms of defensive synergy so it made building a bulkier team relatively easy. When I built this team I actually added the 6 Pokemon first then added sets for each one, so I'll go through the team sort of in the order I built it. Like I said, Yveltal and Dusk Mane Necrozma were a good start, the next thing I added was Zygarde-Complete. The biggest weakness shared by Necrozma and Yveltal was Fire-types like Primal Groudon and Ho-Oh, which neither could pressure particularly easily and both were heavily threatened by. Neither enjoyed taking on strong physical attackers either given that Yveltal was requested to be Scarfed, so Zygarde-Complete filled these gaps in nicely and had a lot of options that could be used to compliment the above 2. Next came Ferrothorn, as a Primal Kyogre check and was clearly needed at this point, having a secondary Steel-type also proves useful in drawn-out games against teams with multiple Toxic-using Arceus forms, and such drawn-out games are not uncommon with this team. To round off the team's defenses, Arceus-Fairy was added as a check to Marshadow, Dragon Dance Mega Rayquaza and Zygarde-Complete. Mega Gengar was the last Pokemon added and fits nicely as a revenge killer and provides some counterplay against bulkier teams. For the Gengar set I personally like Substitute to lead well against Nuzzle Smeargle but Destiny Bond works just as well if you'd prefer that. As I filled in the sets, I found that the initially requested sets of Bulky Dusk Mane Necrozma and Scarf Yveltal both fit well so I didn't make any changes to the standard sets. One thing that resulted was a free moveslot on Ferrothorn due to Necrozma having Stealth Rock so I decided to turn this into a hazard-stacking team of sorts. Coil + DTail Zygarde also fits this hazard stacking nature nicely, as do Scarf Yveltal and Mega Gengar, which can act as effective cleaners against weakened teams. One thing to note about this team is that battles will often be on the longer end, but it is a very consistent build that is rewarding when played right.

I actually used this team in AG seasonal so here's the replay if you want to see how the team gets played: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-670180914

EDIT: Upon further testing of this team I've noticed a weakness to Calm Mind Arceus-Steel. To fix this I changed Toxic to Earthquake on Necrozma. Toxic wasn't super necessary anyways, Earthquake allows it to handily counter Arceus-Steel and get extra chip damage on Primal Groudon. I updated the paste with the new importable.



http://pokepast.es/d59003e5f70f5baf

While you didn't explicitly mention it in your post, I definitely think the two Pokemon you mentioned work best together on a Hyper Offensive team. I started by adding Deoxys-Speed as a suicide lead because Xerneas and Ultra Necrozma both rely heavily on chip damage to secure certain KOs. In this instance Spikes are especially helpful for putting common Defoggers within range of this team's sweepers making it much easier to keep pressure on the opponent. Mega Rayquaza got added next because it's such an amazing addition to any offensive team and it's really hard to justify not using it. In this instance Mega Rayquaza pressures both Primals as well as any physically bulky Pokemon that would check the remainder of the team. Marshadow was added next to combat priority from Extreme Killer Arceus that otherwise could cleanly sweep through the team. It also acts as a lure for Ho-Oh which can open up the way for a late-game Xerneas sweep if the opponent does happen to remove hazards. Lastly, Life Orb Yveltal with Taunt helps keep opposing Necrozma in check while providing even more priority, which stops opposing setup sweepers from running through this team. Taunt also helps keep hazards on the opponent's side of the field which is vital to keep pressure on the opponent. This team is pretty simple to use as once you set hazards it's very easy to overhwhelm defensively-oriented teams. Where the matchup is more complicated is against other offensive teams, at which point Mega Rayquaza and Xerneas become key due to their ability to boost their speed and potentially sweep through a frailer offensive team. Because it has both Mega Rayquaza and Ultra Necrozma this fulfills Aaronboyer 's request as well so consider this two birds with one stone. Watch out for opposing Marshadow when using this team, it has the potential to revenge kill a lot of the Pokemon on it and is hard to switch into given the lack of bulk here. Marshadow can't KO anything here from full unless it wins a speed tie with this team's Marshadow so keep that in mind when playing against it. This team is also quite flexible if you want to make changes, for example if you want to improve the matchup against offense you can easily use Scarf Yveltal here.

Here's a replay showing how the team plays: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-671109020

GL Volkner Your team is built and thimo just needs to post it which will hopefully be sometime in the near future.

Reserving this one. Core is rather nice to use and shouldn't be too difficult to build around with all the options given.

My initial ideas for this team were a hazard stacking bulky offense that could utilize this core to its advantage, but I started finding problems with Terrakion when attempting to do this. Despite the two making a nice pairing, they don't really wear down their checks and counters that much as they are rather different to eachother, which is often why I prefer Keldeo over Terrakion despite the fact that Terrakion is quite a bit stronger with Lucarionite. So, I've tried the best I could, and made a bulkier team that can break stall and deal with offense with Deoxys-Speed, and then break balance with Terrakion.

Deoxys-Speed @ Pidgeotite
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Psycho Boost
- Zap Cannon
- Focus Blast

Another option for the Deoxys-Speed spread is 160 HP / 252 SpA / 96 Spe - this allows Deoxys-Speed to outspeed Diancite Naganadel whilst still keeping a decent amount of bulk - more importantly allowing Deoxys-Speed to survive a Fleur Cannon from defensive Magearna and Flash Cannon from CM Split Magearna, as it is able to Nasty Plot on the switchin and paralyze with Zap Cannon, potentially dispatching a wall so that it can clean lategame. It also allows for Deoxys-Speed to better revenge kill priority users - but do be warned most attacks at +1 will KO it.

Terrakion @ Lucarionite
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Swords Dance
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat

Standard Lucarionite Terrakion set except Stealth Rock was chosen over Substitute due to the amount of pressure Lucarionite Terrakion can exert on defensive teams, forcing out almost every Sablenite user.

After utilizing this core, I realized that they had a similarity in failing to break stall as their checks and counters were rather prevalent (such as Arceus-Fairy being absolute aids for Terrakion to deal with) and Blissey + Magearna cores being very difficult for Deoxys-Speed to take down. Whilst it does rather well on paper, it is fairly difficult to pressure a team enough with these two Pokemon alone, as Deo-S is always expected to get chipped by Judgment. Not to mention that Giratina is also quite a problem for Terrakion as it can tank a Stone Edge at +2 and Wisp it back, completely ruining its damage output. As such, I felt the need to add a rather common core to deal with this problem, as not only does it easily break Shedinja stall but it deals with most stalls in general well.

Hippowdon @ Venusaurite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 192 Def / 64 SpD
Impish Nature
- Toxic
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
- Whirlwind

Hippowdon is the first component of this core, and the reason it helps break stall so easily is because of Sand Stream, which can take out any Shedinja attempting to wall any other members of the team. However, its main contribution is defensively, where it is the team's main check to a slew of offensive Fire types, such as Groudon-Primal, Ho-oh, Entei and Victini. It is also able to wall Arceus-Ghost and Zygarde, stopping them from being able to 6-0 the team.

Magearna @ Cameruptite
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
- Calm Mind
- Pain Split

(yes I'm sorry I broke my promise already)

THIS is the main reason Hippowdon was chosen over an offensive rock setter like Groudon-Primal, and that is because CM Split Magearna has almost no counters on stall, with the best option being Red Orb Togekiss, which is taken advantage of by Terrakion and Hippowdon as either can nab a free switch, and whilst Terrakion may not like it, it is immediately able to pressure switchins from there on out.

CM Split Magearna works very well on this team as a bulky wincon due to the team's overall vulnerability to Arceus-Fairy and Ghost, which are able to take hits from Terrakion and cripple it. This happily switches in and takes a maximum of 35.7% (0 SpA Spooky Plate Arceus-Ghost Judgment vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Magearna: 109-130 (29.9 - 35.7%) -- 36% chance to 3HKO), easily allowing it to CM up on the switchin and take stall with it. It's also a very potent tank, being able to wall Tapu Lele and various other Fairy-types.

Victini @ Red Orb
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 156 HP / 252 Atk / 100 Spe
Lonely Nature
- V-create
- Work Up
- Bolt Strike
- Blue Flare

Victini works well on this team as a brilliant Xerneas check as well as another excruciatingly hard hitter that can take control of weather and wall Blue Orb users like Kyogre-Primal and Skarmory (although Golisopod can hit it with Drill Run). It also pairs very well with the Hippowdon + Magearna core, practically beating stall teams alone, so that your breakers like Terrakion and Deo-S can run amok.

Arceus-Ghost @ Spooky Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Judgment
- Defog
- Recover
- Toxic

There was practically one mon I could leave on the list to be in this final slot - Arceus-Ghost solves most of the team's initial problems, acting as a defog user, a status spreader for supportceus, and a check to Zygarde and Kartana most importantly.


Hope you have fun with this team - it might not be the best I've made, but this should definitely work well versus stall. It went through several variations, and I personally couldn't get it to check all that it needed, but this looks like a learning experience for me to improve upon.

  • Short Description: Tapu Koko seems like a fairly interesting Pokemon to build around due to its high speed and Electric Terrain support, which can help other Pokemon break through teams due to Electric being rather good as a coverage move. In this metagame, it seems interesting as it is able to nuke standard Pokemon such as Kyurem-Black with its STAB and either Volt Switch out or nab a Ground target with Grass Knot. Dazzling Gleam hits rather hard as well against neutral targets, which is brilliant for such a high paced mon.

Reserving. Already have a team that had prepared from before but just gonna make some slight tweaks.

Gojiratar



Stakataka is a great addition to Full Trick Room teams thanks to its stellar offensive presence due to its abysmal Speed which grants it access to the most powerful Gyro Ball in the game. Couple this with it's ability to set up its own Trick Room and ability to sweep teams thanks to Beast Boost stat raises and we have an initially underrated threat on our hands. STABmons grants it access to new powerful STAB options such as Diamond Storm and Head Smash alongside two priority moves in Bullet Punch and Accelerock. I decided to stick with an OTR Rockium Z set over a more powerful Choice Band set since it enables Stakataka to pressure common switchins like Landorus-T and Ferrothorn more easily.


I added Uxie as the team's SR and secondary Trick Room setter due to its great overall bulk enabling it to get up both field conditions numerous times throughout the match. The addition of Lunar Dance in it's movepool also means it can provide the team's sweepers necessary support by essentially giving them a second chance in breaking through the opposing team oncemore. EVs are in place to turn it into a study mixed wall, checking threats like Landorus-T and Mega Medicham moderately well.


Mega Mawile is one of the best mega option for Trick Room teams due to it being an excellent breaker. It does not deviate much from standard apart from having access to a more reliable priority option in Bullet Punch, letting it handle offensive threats more easily thanks to it not relying on predictions. Thunder Punch is to break through Celesteela and Toxapex while Fire Fand can be used instead for Ferrothorn, either or works out well.


Magearna is another good OTR setter thanks to a phenomenal typing and good natural bulk. Even though it shares the same typing as Mega Mawile, I decided to keep it on the team thanks to how well it can setup TR against the majority of threats. It can also sweep quite well on its own late game once its checks have been weakened, although the majority of cases it would want to pivot out into more stronger breakers. Shuca Berry was added to give the team another switchin to Ground-types as it was lacking that so far besides Uxie.


Marowak-A complimented the team well at this point, breaking through troubling Steel-types such as Celesteela and Ferrothorn which annoyed the majority of the other team members. It also hits absurdly hard STAB V-Create, being a high BP move with no realistic drawback under the effects of TR. Precipice Blades is to hit checks like Tyranitar but Shadow Sneak can be used instead to check offensive threats outside of TR.


Finally we have an oddball member in Araquanid. At this point, Ash-Greninja was a huge threat to the team as its STAB Water Shuriken checked the majority of members on the team, especially Nasty Plot variants. Therefore, I wanted a Water resist and another Ground check so Araquanid was picked! Tail Glow turns it into a really potent sweeper despite its low 50 SpA thanks to Water Bubble and high BP water moves.

The team works pretty well in dealing with most offensive teams, since it has multiple options in setting up TR and can apply offensive pressure through almost every member on the team. It does require a bit of micro-managing since you really want to abuse each turn TR is activated to win some games, but after a bit of practice you should get the hang of it!

Have fun laddering!

So after starting out with the core above, I added Groundceus as a check to -ate speeders, pdon and a defogger. With that, i noticed i was lacking any physical attackers, so i added a strong physical sweeper in kartana. Frustration is to beat Zapdos and it hits grass resists harder than sacred sword. I added Pogre because i was still looking weak to special/chinese pdon. Rest is to stay healthy and to annoy blissey basically. i am kinda thinking on adding cm to it somewhere but idk what i'd drop. Lastly I added spdef pdon because my team was lacking a stealth rock user, and it's probably the best imposterproof to my magearna.

i tried the team out on the ladder this morning and went 12-0 mostly going against bad teams, but i did face some decent stalls so here's some replays on how the team works

description: i decided to run poison heal on audino because one of chansey's main vulnerabilities was status. misty surge giratina looked like a good partner because it could cover cb mmx and ph regi. it kind of conflicted with ph audino, so i gave audino spiky shield so you could activate the toxic orb for free before setting up terrain (and also get extra recovery). giratina's set was the first one i filled out; i knew that it would be a bad spinner because it couldn't really pressure imposter thanks to terrain so i slapped core on there for insurance in case ph regi got its orb activated.

the team needed a setup answer after this so i decided to go with this cool steelix set. thanks to occa berry it can eat contrary overheat/v create and retaliate with spectral thief/nuzzle. misty terrain is kinda annoying if you want to nuzzle something but it protects from spore. (if you want you can run electric surge giratina instead although that gives you trouble with imposter)

imposter is kinda necessary so i went with that, final gambit max speed blissey dunks on illusion kangaskhanite kanga

prankster golisopod gives the team a second fighting resist and covers shell smash mmx if steelix/giratina are weakened. chansey covers pretty much every ray set so that wasn't much of a concern. also golisopod underspeeds most mons so it can spike on pretty much anything

worry seed chansey was needed to beat miscellaneous ph (ogre, xern) while poison fang helps it get rocks up. audino was the designated spinner; poison fang + sleuth means that magic bounce aegi is the only thing preventing you from spinning.

something cool about having audino as the spinner is that since it doesn't really wall any particular threat, you can keep it in the back if you want to prevent imposter from removing your hazards (also giratina can counter scarf imposter thanks to misty surge)

this team probably has a problem or two but i hope you like it
