1. Proof of peak
( I am ghostfreakkkk)
2. Team building process
Due to how good dragonite is rn I wanted to build with it but I was bored with the normal DD set so I went with CB.
I added specs dragapult because it pairs really well with dragonite completing the dual dragon core and helping dragonite break through physical walls .
This mon dosent even need an explanation.
I really needed a stallbreaker and another speed control and looking at current stalls there couldn't be a better option than meowscarada.
Acts as my ground immunity and the primary steel type, also fills the role of a much needed defensive pivot while also switching in to common threats like roaring moon , iron valiant , dragonite
This gives me a late game sweeper while also acting as a ghost resist and another steel to help corviknight.
3. Pokemon details
Yoshi (Dragonite) @ Choice Band
Ability: Multiscale
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Fire Punch
- Outrage
Choice band is imo the best dragonite set right now. Due to its strong extreme speed it can hit pretty hard , espeed being +2 priority also help vs kingambit and baxcalibur . This dragonite set beats rain , sun , most hyper offense teams in its own with the strong priority. Earthquake let's it hit gholdengo , kingambit , skeledirge, garganacl , for super effective damage .Outrage is a great stab option early game to chip great tusk which helps kingambit later on . Fire punch is to catch corviknight and balloon gholdengo which helps it clean with extreme speed later on.
Tera type : Tera normal powers up extreme speed , acts as a shadow ball switch in .
EV's : I chose max attack and max speed adamant to maximize it's offensive potential.

Dragon's dream (Dragapult) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 12 Def / 244 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Shadow Ball
- U-turn
- Flamethrower
Choice specs pult is an insane breaker due to its insane speed and such a great offensive typing . Shadow ball is a very spammable moves which can end up getting past it checks aswell due to the 20% chance to lower their special defense . Draco meteor being such a strong stab hits everything hard for insane damage . U-turn is great for generating momentum and in order to bring in your other threats . Flamethrower is chosen as the last move to hit kingambit and corviknight for great damage .
Tera type : Tera ghost boosts pults sball making it even more spammable and an even scarier breaker.
EV's : 12 defense let's it live an ice shard from band baxcalibur from full .Max speed and rest is invested in special attack to maximize the offensive potential . I chose modest over timid because you don't need timids speed for anything right now.
Some important calcs:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Flamethrower vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 308-364 (90.3 - 106.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO

Kira queen (Meowscarada) @ Choice Band
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Sucker Punch
- U-turn
- Flower Trick
Meowscarada is my primary stall breaker and my answer to defensive setup mons like dondozo and garganacl. Knock off is such a great move that any mon wouldn't want to miss on it , here it even serves as a great stab for meowscarada. Flower tricks ability to always crit makes it a great stab while also ignoring the stat boosts of the opposing Pokemon . U-turn generates momentum pairing up nicely with pult as both help each other in entering the field. Sucker is for priority and killing off low ho threats who outspeed you like iron moth and volc.
NOTE: You can also run play rough or thunderpunch over sucker on the basis of your liking.
Tera type : Tera grass boosts flower trick even more , i prefer Tera grass over Tera dark however both are viable
EV's : Max speed Max attack Jolly because of the awesome speed tier it reaches with jolly nature.
Some important calcs:
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Grass Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Tera Fairy Garganacl on a critical hit: 244-288 (60.3 - 71.2%)
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Grass
Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Great Tusk on a critical hit: 364-432 (83.8 - 99.5%)
252 SpA Iron Valiant Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera Grass Meowscarada: 195-231 (66.5 - 78.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Grass Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Iron Valiant on a critical hit: 336-396 (116.2 - 137%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Protean Meowscarada U-turn vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kingambit: 130-154 (38.1 - 45.1%)
ACT 4 (Great Tusk) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 12 Atk / 192 Def / 56 Spe
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Knock Off
- Rapid Spin
I probably don't even need to explain this Pokemon , this mon is the greatest friend of a team builder . I use the physically defensive set to check common physical threats . Earthquake is used as a stab which also does great damage due to high base power of the move and high attack stat of great tusk . Great tusk is also my stealth rocker as well as my rapid spinner being the only hazard control of the team. Knock off is used to force progress early on with meowscarada .
Tera type : After turning into tera fire tusk is immune to burns and can also act as an emergency revenge killer to wisp pult , iron moth , and offensive volcarona while also resisting gholdengos make it rain .
EV's : 16atk is to have a 50% chance to kill scarf gholdengo with earthquake,speed is just for speed creeps of opposing tusk and rest in max hp and defense to take physical hits better.
brown chariot? (Kingambit) @ Leftovers
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Kowtow Cleave
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Swords Dance
Another mon I probably don't need to explain , here kingambit acts as a late game sweeper while also acting as my secondary steel while also helping in keeping pult and gholdengo in check . Swords dance is used to help Gambit sweep late game . Kowtow cleave and iron head are used as stabs . Sucker punch helps it against Pokemon that are faster than it.
Tera type : After turning into fire type kingambit becomes immune to burn and also resisting the fire type moves it was previously weak to (helps it best iron valiant , iron moth , volcarona)
EV's : Max attack Max speed adamant is used to maximize the offensive potential and also to outspeed the other kingambits that don't run max speed.
Some important calcs:
0 Atk Great Tusk Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kingambit: 234-276 (68.6 - 80.9%)
+2 252+ Atk Kingambit Iron Head vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Great Tusk: 177-208 (40.7 - 47.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 SpA Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Kingambit: 114-135 (33.4 - 39.5%)
The Dark Knight (Corviknight) @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 164 Def / 96 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Brave Bird
- Body Press
- U-turn
- Roost
Corviknight is the primary steel of the team and the and my primary switch in to pult and gholdengo because kingambit is offensive . Brave bird and body press are used to hit iron valiant, volcarona , kingambit , roaring moon and baxcalibur for super effective damage . U-turn is great for momentum and roost keeps corviknight healthy
Tera type : Tera water helps corviknight against volcarona and dragapult making its previous fire weakness into resistance. It can also help to chip walking wake spamming hydro steam to later kill it with dragonite or kingambit.
EV's : 96 special defense EVs and sassy nature can always survive a +1 valiant thunderbolt at full hp and also acts as a special wall . I invest 248 hp and the rest in defense to make it bulky on both sides.
Some important calcs :
+1 252 SpA Quark Drive Iron Valiant Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 96+ SpD Corviknight: 338-398 (84.7 - 99.7%)
252 SpA Gholdengo Shadow Ball vs. 248 HP / 96+ SpD Corviknight: 124-147 (31 - 36.8%)
252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Shadow Ball vs. 248 HP / 96+ SpD Corviknight: 153-180 (38.3 - 45.1%)
164 Def Corviknight Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 186-220 (52.9 - 62.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 Atk Corviknight Brave Bird vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Iron Valiant: 252-296 (87.1 - 102.4%)
252+ Atk Kingambit Kowtow Cleave vs. 248 HP / 164 Def Corviknight: 129-153 (32.3 - 38.3%)
164 Def Corviknight Body Press vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kingambit: 240-284 (70.3 - 83.2%)
4. Threats
The wisp set is the biggest threat to the team . In these match ups you have to scout the set with corviknight and uturn into kingambit to kill it , tera into fire if u feel like kingambits really good in the matchup .
Tera fairy dragon dance can mess this team up . In this matchup you have to Tera water ur corv to get damage off or revenge it with tera normal dragonite after corv chips it a bit.
Band is also tricky to deal with u have to play aggresive vs band Bax , pult lives an ice shard from full so try to trade it on turn 1.
This is not that big of a threat because both meowscarada and dragapult outspeed and revenge it but with some right predictions it can open a hole in the teams defensive core.
Iron defense physically defensive tera fairy is pretty much an impossible matchup , it's rare but u pretty much can't do anything.
