This team packs three sweepers; Belly Drum Azumarill, Contrary Serperior and Trick Room Magearna, all of whom can boost and turn the situation of the battle very quickly if given the chance. Z-Belly Drum also gives Azumarill the chance to boost in front of anything that doesn't OHKO it. Choice Scarf Victini outspeeds Mega Swampert in the Rain and can OHKO it with Grass Knot. It also exploits the low number of Fire resists in the tier and can still outspeed many of the metagame even after the Speed drop. Nihilego is the team's Stealth Rock setter while Mega Garchomp is the wallbreaker. Thanks to a sky-high Attack and Swords Dance, Mega Garchomp is able to break the Grass-types that are common switch-ins to Ground attacks. It should also be noted that Mega Garchomp's attacks still hurt even without the boost.
