Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Hey Joey I just created a hyper offensive team with a couple of the new pokemon. This team has helped me rise over 200 ELO in about an hour so def give this squad a try. https://pokepast.es/e26d4df9715f7b17
With the new moves out I made an electric terrain team to see how rising surge alolan-raichu would be since it could legitimately rise from that alone although it means needing to deal with pincurchin as a terrain setter....man I miss Koko for setting terrains up...oh also have fun memeing with zap canon alakazam because nobody will expect that kind of nuke https://pokepast.es/48adccaacc93c62d
Built this team that utilizes Sand Rush Sandslash. Sandslash is built to serve a lot of purposes by having toxic, spin, and knock, while out speeding scarf Urshifu in sand, and able to 2 hit KO it with eq. AV Ttar can tank +3 bug buzz from timid volc. Mag is running misty explosion in order to suicide kill hippo and other tanks late game.
So i made an offensive team using teleport chansey to get the THREATS in safely. I have Azu and Volc as set up sweepers but they do DAMAGE without set up. It also revolves around the core of specs Zone and Scarfed Shifu (Single Strike) https://pokepast.es/2918f814e5b021b1
So, for the new meta changes in RU, I've made a team built around Banded Sneasel. Shit hits like a damn bullet train.
Featuring the GOD TELEPORT PORYGON2 to bring sneas on the field safely.
There's also some neat RU techs from the ongoing Snake Draft such as CurseLix, Bulky Zard, etc etc.
Made a new 2v2 doubles team utilizing my one of my favorite of the new moves which is lash out. https://pokepast.es/345101897695f92b the new team works the same way. Setup trick room and protect with obstagoon then bulldoze and pull off that full power guts boosted lash out. (You can drop quick guard if you want)
Updated the previous HO OU team with Rilla+lucha with Scarf rapid strike Urshifu. Be careful cause it seems Grassy Glide is bugged and doesn't get priority in terrain. Hf! https://pokepast.es/9f2afe47b0e2de2b
With the introduction of Magnezone to the meta there's definitely gonna be some strong cores with it but losing HP fire sucked, meaning Pokemon like Body Press Ferrothorn would easily take it out. Do you think this will be the new meta set? I brainstormed this a while.
HO OU Team featuring Banded Rillaboom, HDB Cinderace and Specs Keldeo to make an effective Grass, Fire, Water core that can Flip Turn/ U-turn out. https://pokepast.es/fad84774069b5dcd
