Introduction:
Hey guys, jariibo here! I've being playing on PS for a decent time now and I wanted to make my first RMT. I made this team with atomicllamas while I was being tutored by him, and I was able to peak within the top ten with the team we made.
Team Building Process:
The team began with Alomomola:
.
Okay so Alomomola checks quite a lot of Pokémon in the RU tier, such as Flygon, Mega-Steelix, all the Fire (except CM Delphox and Nasty Plot Houndoom) and most Ground types (except Seismictoad). I then decided to add in Tangrowth to deal with a majority of checks to Alomomola such as Taunt Jellicent and Seismictoad. (also good thing to note I didn't want to go with Amoonguss because in my opinion, Amoonguss has no offensive presence at all; it just puts things to sleep and then becomes a sitting duck) So the Regenerator core began.
, 
.
After this I was very weak to Delphox and Houndoom and Volt Switch spam from Jolteon and Rotom-Mow, so I needed a Ground type that could also can take special hits. My choice was Mega Camerupt. With Wish support from Alomomola (if you play it well enough) you can keep Mega Camerupt around for a long period of time. Also with Mega Camerupt I have a Stealth rock user.
, , 
.
With Mega Camerupt, my defensive core was done. Now I was missing a lot of offensive support, so I went through the S/A ranked Pokémon, where I found that I had a hard time dealing with Meloetta. I currently felt really limited in my ways of dealing with it, this also applied to Sigilyph. Another thing I realized was that when Mega Camerupt is dead, my team is walled by Amoonguss, so I needed an offensive Pokémon that could handle all of these problems, which is how I choose Sneasel. With its perfect coverage of Ice to defeat Amoonguss and Knock Off to defeat Meloetta and Sigilyph, it only made sense to have it on this team.
,,
, 
.
Looking back at the team once again, I notice that it was rather slow, as Sneasel was really the only relatively fast Pokemon on the team. So the next thing I felt I needed was a scarfer myself. With Dark spam being such a potent problem for this team, I felt that my scarfer should be a Fighting type to negate this weakness. Because of these reasons, I felt like Medicham would fit the role nicely.
,
,
,
,
.
At this point my team was having a really hard time against stall, as it had no real wallbreaker. That's why I dedicated the last spot on my team to a wall breaker. Banded Tyrantrum felt most fitting for this position, with its huge Attack and super hard hitting Head Smash and Outrage. Also Tyrantrum gives me better matchup against flying types such as Fletchinder.

The Team:
Alomomola @ Leftovers
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Protect
- Wish
- Scald
- Toxic
Alomomola was my main attacking absorber with that 30% to burn and wish support. With the bulk Alomomola has it can outstall almost every attacking pokémon in RU with Toxic and Scald burn. Also the wish support on this team is very important. Toxic is there so pokémons like Jellicent, Gastrodon and Seismictoad can not switch in freely.
Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 112 HP / 252 SpA / 144 Spe
Modest Nature
- Knock Off
- Sludge Bomb
- Leaf Storm
- Focus Blast
So I needed something to take Electric and Grass type moves. This spread is to outspeed Clawitzer that are uninvested or invested until 80 Speed. It also outspeeds 44 Speed Jellicent. With this spread you are able to deal massive damage with Sludge Bomb, which is there to hit Grass/Fairy types really hard. Knock Off is there so Meloetta is not able to set up a sub after a leaf storm. Some calcs:
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 248 HP / 176 SpD / 84 Spe
Calm Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- Fire Blast
- Toxic
So as i said before Mega-Camerupt is mainly used to break volt switchers, take special hits, and hit really hard back. Fun thing to note is Mega-Camerupt doesn't need Special Attack investment to wallbreak. With this spread you are able to outspeed uninvested Aromatisse and Mega-Steelix. Toxic is there to toxic those bulky water types on the switch in such as Alomomola, Jellicent and Gastrodon.
Sneasel @ Life Orb
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- Knock Off
- Low Kick
Sneasel was one of my favorite Pokémon to use in NU and now in RU it's still a very good Pokémon. Sneasel’s Speed and ability to use Knock Off and Icicle Crash make it a great Pokémon to have on this team. Low Kick is there mainly to one hit KO Mega-Glalie and other Sneasel. It also one shots flygons with Ice Shard. Some calcs:
Medicham @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- High Jump Kick
- Zen Headbutt
- Thunder Punch
- Drain Punch
Pretty standard scarf Medicham set. I have Drain Punch over something such as Trick or Poison Jab just so I don’t have 50/50's with Ghost types. I have Thunder Punch over something like Ice Punch just for bulky Water types such as Jellicent. (Also good thing to note is that by having Drain Punch you do not having the risk going for high jump kick on DD Scrafty when the opponent has a Ghost type) Some calcs:
Tyrantrum @ Choice Band
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Head Smash
- Outrage
- Crunch
- Superpower
And at last, Tyrantrum. This thing is such a powerhouse; it has been able to break through some stall teams by just clicking Head Smash over and over again. Also with superpower you can predict the Steel type switch ins. Tyrantrum can 2 hit KO SpD Mega-Steelix with superpower. Some calcs to see the power of this massive wallbreaker:
Threadlist:
: Specs meloetta after some prior damage on Mega-Camerupt it can come in on a slower Pokémon and KO every Pokémon I have. The sub Calm Mind set can be annoying too.
: Specs Exploud just one shots everything except for Mega-Camerupt, which gets 2 hit KOed by Boomburst. There is no switch in for this monster on this team.
: The Sword Dance set and the Calm mind set are threats to this team. With the right support such as Alomomola and/or Mega-Steelix this really difficult to beat.
: Amoonguss is pretty difficult to deal with on this team. With the right support it can stick in the battle for a long time and outstall most of the mons I have.
,
,
: This core is so hard to beat with this team. You really need to make good predictions if you want to win against this core.

atomicllamas : It's awesome to get tutored by someone that is so high ranked and knows everything about the tier and let’s not forget is the RU-co leader. It's fun to build and play against you and just to talk about Pokémon in general. Thanks for making this team with me.
Snowy. .: where do I need to begin with you.. Well first of all thanks for helping me out with the grammar check for my RMT. Second for being such a good friend who always helps me out with teams and just talking in general is really fun. Thanks man, also CELESTIC CELEBI'S.
Stall Hater and Silverwhiteblue : Yes you both as well. I remember when you both guys pm'ed me with: "hey dude maybe is being tutored something for you?" (both had their own ways of saying that) First I was well I don't know maybe that isn't something for me. But because you two both kept saying I needed to do it and that it was a lot of fun. I agreed with getting tutored. Without you guys I probably wouldn't even making this RMT, thanks.
Winry : Thanks alot for the last grammar check! It helped me alot!
And as last:
Blitzamirin : Well since you promoted (and banned right after =[ ) to driver in the tour room a lot of cool things happened. I got to speak to a lot of cool people from the staff and with you. Our skype talks are so much fun (especially when I am tired or drunk). Thanks for being such a good friend. Also thanks a lot with helping me finding some sprites!
