Slate 14:
normal ahh slate
normal ahh slate
Normal slate. No Megas, no extra rules, no bullshit. Just normal Tandems this slate.
You have a week to sub (10/5). I probably will not push for main PS to update for slates until slate 15 is concluded, but if slate 14 can be added before then that would be nice. Don't expect it tho.
:sv/rotom-mow:
We are severely lacking in Electric types, with this submission this bumps our electric type count to 2. Ofc filling in numbers shouldnt be a sole reason but I like rotom-C and found it to be quite nice in the meta. Grass + Water / Fire was something where I went off and i started with ceruledge with a more defensive set with careful + morning sun. This allows it to be a quite defensive piece on this team and it punishes fire types quite well while taking advantage of the grass types rotom-c lures in
Keldeo was the next pokemon, a pain split set that has been up and trending in UU was something I wanted to toy around, with such a set it can take hits and take hits by having quite a bit of bulk and being able to pain split esp when a counter like azumarill, sinistcha, giratina, amoonguss, etc.
Solgaleo was the next Pokemon, esp for weak heads I wanted to include an uber that isnt terribly busted and could prob be balanced with such a stat spread or a weaker head. Solgaleo was one of them as it was already suspected into OU and I liked how its mixed set vibed. With this it also gives it a switch in into dragons and a bulky attacker for the squad. It is a classic steel with huge defensive stats.
I really wanted to do something funny with koraidon, so what about a special set???? Well it kinda works well with such a set and its able to dish out quite a bit of damage with using such a set still and its bulk is quite huge so its able to perform quite a defensive role in tanking fire / water moves for the team esp with the sun

Couple quick adjustments to stuff before October.
EDIT: I'm the biggest dumbass ever and forgot to put these on the sheet before handing it off. Luckily most of these things above are just balance stuff. All the ACTUAL errors (Black Sludge Amoonguss, "leftover" Blastoise) should be fixed in the next PRs to main PS/DH. Everything on the spreadsheet currently is consistent with what will be on Pokemon Showdown.
Code:
LANDORUS-THERIAN
Heatran: Magma Storm, Earth Power, Lava Plume, Flash Cannon, **Toxic**, Protect
Kingdra: Nature - Modest
AZUMARILL
Oricorio-Sensu: Quiver Dance, Revelation Dance, Hurricane, Roost, **Stored Power**
FEZANDIPITI
Mandibuzz: Nature - Impish
MOLTRES
Mamoswine: Nature - Adamant
DONDOZO
Clodsire: Nature - Careful
EXCADRILL:
Roaring Moon: Nature - Careful
Several typos and other errors fixed; submission posts, spreadsheet, and code should now be consistent to each other.EDIT: I'm the biggest dumbass ever and forgot to put these on the sheet before handing it off.

Well i have a lot of stupid teams to use.... but they are kinda broken (at least manaphy is) (also team dump https://pokepast.es/e86ad4ef6533cb11 )
V1 :heatran::landorus-therian::manaphy:
V2 :quaquaval::heatran::landorus-therian:
Probably my strongest team by a mile. Manaphy is ungodly hard to check in this meta especially with tandems being only capping out at 85+ and most heads just losing outright. The common heads of clef, lando-t, heatran, keldeo, and while it cant outright setup on sinistcha, ting lu, skarmory, ogerpon, it can still punch holes once its setup. It can often get 1 kill and tera and proceed to get 1-2 more at minimum or outright win. There are many games I have played where manaphy came in, setup in front of a heatran and won. Esp since most heads are quite on the slower side.
I also have a variant with quaq esp as a setup sweeper and it has some good tandems
:dudunsparce::hatterene::quaquaval:
CM Dudunsparce can roll some god tandems and with hatt to cover the fighting weaknesses it can be patched up quite easily. Quaq is here especially as it can really beat down steels or some walls like heatran, ting lu.
:hippowdon::corviknight::keldeo:
Hippo + Corv is very solid defensively and the only thing that really screws with it is something like heatran which is what keldeo is for. This keldeo set has been trending in UU for quite a bit and esp with pain split can wear down the tandems who can try to check it. Corv also can pivot in hippo's tandems in which is a big thing.
:garchomp::corviknight::arcanine-hisui:
Sooo like i said how corv has uber tandems and that is a good thing? Well h-arc can also roll it. And H-arc is also stupid hard to check outside of some specific mons which wisp very much so screws over. SD chomp is still hard to stop and does a lot of things. With tera fire its like really really hard for most teams to act stop it
:tornadus-therian::clefable::corviknight:
Nuke OU mons are really really strong. Torn-t with specs can really run down the tier as the best flying resist at times is off heatran, skarm, h-arc or just something bulky like ting lu, fez which kinda fold.
Other teams I have that not gonna explain but they are prob usable

I am now going to share my thoughts on stuff I think needs critique.
Im worried about Gouging Fire on this team, mon feels so incredibly hard to check with any physical attacker since the only way to hurt this guy is with Stone Edge. I appreciate the restraint to not make it a physical sweeper but this is still worth considering imo.
I don't think non Loaded Dice Scale Shot is worth it on a non Dragon type. And since it's not using it as STAB, its honestly pretty redundant with Dragon Dance.
Ill say it. I think Tornadus-Therian is too good to have tandems. Torn T is on numerous successful teams as a Non Head that functions incredibly well. This mon that already performs well also getting the benefit of tandems nakes it way too good. Imo this should be made into Torn-I just to maintain a level of balance.
For Kyogre, I feel there are better ways to try and balance this Pokémon outside of forcing Chilling Water to be on sets.
Two things for Empoleon. Firstly it doesn't learn Scald, so you either keep Scald or you keep Ice Scales. Not both. Second, Empoleon definitely needs Roost to be the mandatory move. Hurricane is honestly not a good move here I can't really think why this should be even rolled, much less be mandatory. .
Edit: Ok so this Empoleon is just illegal. Empoleon doesn't learn Hurricane and it doesn't learn Defog either. Those will need to be axed.
Tyranitar feels greedy, I think if u really want AV just keep Sandstream? If you want Adapt just run a strong wallnreaking set or even Band, but I feel this is just a jack of all trades but it not good
With Trailblaze not being guaranteed, imo you are better off running Jolly so you don't lose to things like Tandem Manaphy, Kyube or Kyurem. Adamant aint worth giving up so much matchups. You will always get Atk Booster Energy anyway so dwb
Infernaoe seems cool. I am not a fan of Aura Sphere, it's a terrible move. But if that's your perogative over SF Focus Blast that's your choice. If you run Auta Sphere at least run Fire Blast. However the major flaws imo here are U-turn and Tera Blast. I don't think this Pokemon wants those moves on a Sheer Force set. Infernape imo learns enough SF moves you can just run those alone and get better mileage.
Inversely, I think Primordial Sea Zapdos is a bit too strong for something like Iron Valiant to use ngl. Pokemon hits like a truck and has very minimal switchins. Thats the type of set u run on lower tier heads as a trade off.
I just think Walking Wake is kinda overplayed, this would be the third or fourth one and is honestly a bit scary to face with Stakeout, Water is soooo strong nowadays.
Only concern is potentially Band on Palafin. Aqua Tail is not that horrible a STAB to rely on. Maybe Mystic Water or Life Orb is more appropriate. I don't like this freak having Water Tera either (holy break all walls).
Venomoth is fine, however imo this team is incredibly weak to Steel types, so I think at least one of the partners should be able to offensively pressure them with SE STAB here.
Kyurem's set is terrible. Venomoth is already a weaker mon, Kyurem is already pretty popular. I see no reason why I would want to run Venomoth if I had the odds to roll this set. Why is Dual Wingbeat on the set, and why is it Mandatory? It does absolutely nothing but make it harder for Kyurem to face Steel types. Breaking Swipe is here for why? Its not a good move for what Kyurem is doing, and is redundant with Scale Shot as Dragon STAB. Its overall imo a strange sub that holds the team back and should be rectified pronto.
Vaporeon is fine it just seems like a strange fit on what Id assume this team is achieving.
Im worried about Gouging Fire on this team, mon feels so incredibly hard to check with any physical attacker since the only way to hurt this guy is with Stone Edge. I appreciate the restraint to not make it a physical sweeper but this is still worth considering imo.
I don't think non Loaded Dice Scale Shot is worth it on a non Dragon type. And since it's not using it as STAB, its honestly pretty redundant with Dragon Dance.
Ill say it. I think Tornadus-Therian is too good to have tandems. Torn T is on numerous successful teams as a Non Head that functions incredibly well. This mon that already performs well also getting the benefit of tandems nakes it way too good. Imo this should be made into Torn-I just to maintain a level of balance.
For Kyogre, I feel there are better ways to try and balance this Pokémon outside of forcing Chilling Water to be on sets.
Two things for Empoleon. Firstly it doesn't learn Scald, so you either keep Scald or you keep Ice Scales. Not both. Second, Empoleon definitely needs Roost to be the mandatory move. Hurricane is honestly not a good move here I can't really think why this should be even rolled, much less be mandatory. .
Edit: Ok so this Empoleon is just illegal. Empoleon doesn't learn Hurricane and it doesn't learn Defog either. Those will need to be axed.
Tyranitar feels greedy, I think if u really want AV just keep Sandstream? If you want Adapt just run a strong wallnreaking set or even Band, but I feel this is just a jack of all trades but it not good
With Trailblaze not being guaranteed, imo you are better off running Jolly so you don't lose to things like Tandem Manaphy, Kyube or Kyurem. Adamant aint worth giving up so much matchups. You will always get Atk Booster Energy anyway so dwb
Infernaoe seems cool. I am not a fan of Aura Sphere, it's a terrible move. But if that's your perogative over SF Focus Blast that's your choice. If you run Auta Sphere at least run Fire Blast. However the major flaws imo here are U-turn and Tera Blast. I don't think this Pokemon wants those moves on a Sheer Force set. Infernape imo learns enough SF moves you can just run those alone and get better mileage.
Inversely, I think Primordial Sea Zapdos is a bit too strong for something like Iron Valiant to use ngl. Pokemon hits like a truck and has very minimal switchins. Thats the type of set u run on lower tier heads as a trade off.

Ok yeah I just made some calcs and it does kinda hit too hard, changed it to a more defensive option

I was worried about Gouging Fire too—they seem rather strong defensively. I'll take a look at other defensive abilities to see what might be more balanced. Intimidate comes to might off the top of my head.
I would've given Gyarados Earthquake, but that has anti synergy with the Grassy Terrain. After giving it some more thought though, I think it's fine because by the time you've set up and are starting to sweep any Grassy Terrain will have likely expired. I considered Stone Edge but it doesn't really hit much of use for Gyarados. Substitute might be a good option to ease with setting up, especially as their two STAB-attacks deal with most opponents. I'm probably going to give them Earthquake though.
I just think u run Loaded Dice lol. Its why i pointed out specifically Non Loaded Dice sets feel bad.
