so everyone wanted dd ttar to be his / her stand alone sweeper but what ive noticed is nothing is being done to help set up its eventual sweep. Like, we aren't luring in groudons, passho over babiri so you can tank random surfs and still lose to most palkia and kyogre. I just made this to try out some old sets in a new metagame with some twists. First i have lead dd ttar which puts me into a fabulous position lead wise. I only lose to sash ray (dam my innovations hehe), other ttar (50 / 50 at worst), and old gen leads like kyogre / darkrai / groudon. but froslass and tentacruels and cloysters, and random other things keep appearing so i like dd'ing on turn one then killing them. HOpefully, sash stays intact and you get a sweet counter off or like 75 on something revenging. i got the idea from heist's dpp ou team but added counter
Next, ludicolos are appearing as the only kyogre checks for a lot of people if tspikes are not down. sadly, i can't truly prevent that, but when its a stand alone ludicolo, kyogre beats it all day cause the trend is ice beam over grass knot. Cool pokemon on its own, beating blissey and should beat quag too.
jirachi is my favorite pokemon to use and i went with icy wind to help people from setting up on me. the rest is standard
Wobbs gets rid of scarfers and fast pokemon. safeguard for toxic spikes to palkia / kyogre
lum palkia is a new one. people like to try to tank one hit with jirachi or groudon and twave it and be done. so lum beats these common trends
gliscor was just something i still like and blows on this team. But i needed SR + Groudon checks if things went poorly early game. still a cool mon.
this will probably be the worst team posted but ive enjoyed playing with these odd sets.
im only posting this so people will A) think about how to set up ddtar or B) use ddtar in a cooler, more interesting fashion. LIke i have teams with SR chomp + SD. SD isn't the purpose but if i get it off, i get it off. thats kinda what i envision some ddtar teams to do here that would be cool. Like DD pursuit for latias / latios + late game to sweep / set up a kyogre or something is really cool. I don't want teams that use ttar like we saw with ho oh where the only thing used was standard stuff.
