1. Samurott-Hisui
Started with Hrott because it's my favorite Pokémon. Really like how it combines hazard layering and item removal while still being able to tank special attacks. Went with the standard assault vest set for this purpose. I wanted more power out of my Hrott, so I used the lowest functional SpD EVs to maximize the Attack EVs.
2. Raging Bolt
Wanted something that could abuse the spikes from Hrott, so went with Raging Bolt to differ the birds. At first went with booster energy calm mind sweeper set but later transitioned to specs pivot when my team was lacking a pivot. I like how Raging Bolt benefits from Ting-Lu being worn down by spikes from Hrott, which then enables Specs-powered Draco Meteors.
3. Zamazenta
Just wanted something for Corviknight when Raging Bolt is blocked by ground types. Zamazenta also links up with Hrott nicely, with Roar distributing chip through the opposing team. At first went with life orb all-out attacker set but later settled on ID Press when lorb wasn't necessary based on the other slots.
4. Great Tusk
Needed to slot in a spinner and realized I could just go stack at this point. Went with rocky helmet as opposed to hdb cause I had no contact punishing and tusk benefits from rillaboom's grassy terrain. At first had cc over Stealth Rock but decided to just convert fully into stack.
5. Rillaboom
Rillaboom's here as the more reliable priority user than Raging Bolt. Went with Lorb Swords Dance set as opposed to a u-turn utility set cause I already had a pivot in Raging Bolt. The secondary item removal is nice so Hrott doesn't have to be the main knock-off user and can instead set hazards and dip since Rillaboom can just remove items later if Hrott hasn't already.
6. Gholdengo
Needed a solid Kyurem/Booster Energy Iron Valiant check, so I went with Scarf Gholdengo. Gholdengo also just denies Defog from Corviknight, which is great for this stack. Went with Focus Blast as opposed to Recover for Ting-lu since Gholdengo benefits from Rillaboom's grassy terrain.
