You think these 6 mons together are still likely good?

With the sleep moves ban, what do you recommend if I were to update a team similar to this?

https://pokepast.es/3e58e5305613fc9f Quick explanation of each team memeber: Zamazenta-Hero Very strong and also tanky breaker/late game sweeper. Sub is for safety against status and lets me set up easier/deal more damage before switching out on a check not named Dragapult. Speaking of Pult...

I've also got stuff going on so probably won't have time to get reqs. But having used Pao for a while now, I can't justify keeping this thing in OU. Hitting for over 50% on (presumably physically defensive) Corviknight and Dondozo with no setup (I run band tera dark) off of jolly nature neutral...

This has been performing quite well, though certain Espathra teams and Skeledirge in general are kind of annoying. Other than that, doing great so far, getting into upper mid ladder pretty easy now. Spent a while talking with Finch himself trying to optimize Tusk. Takes 99.5% max from unboosted...

Stealing this, I love it. Also, I like the names.

I'll get right into it. Don't mind the names. Trying to figure out what I want this gen. Riku (Annihilape) (M) @ Chesto Berry Ability: Defiant Tera Type: Water EVs: 248 HP / 240 SpD / 20 Spe Careful Nature - Bulk Up - Drain Punch - Rage Fist - Rest It's Annihilape. Do I...

Any usage tips for this? How do you typically handle things like Valiant? you have 5 fairy weaknesses. Any sets you'd update?

I like it just by virtue of including Umbreon. It's pretty well-structured too. Sweeper, breaker, phys wall, special wall/cleric, special tank, support pivot. The few major issues I see are lack of a ground type and general lack of toxic immunities, though the latter is helped somewhat by...

Welp, you've done it again. I have a serious love for bulky offense as a playstyle. I posted my own RMT a while back and I know from seeing these you have the archetype absolutely down, so I was wondering if you'd have a peek? As for your team, what is there to even say? You've made top 10 and...

Nicely done again. Copying this one too, so thanks <3

Mind if I steal this? Umbreon's my favorite pokemon and I applaud you for getting as high as top 10 with him.

None of these are anywhere near as threatening as Nido or Tran, besides maybe Chomp in my experiences. I kinda just need to predict Rilla and U-turn wears him down fast. Can't do much to pult besides knock. Wood hammer does 1shot Clef though. Kyurem is a problem if I've lost Ferro but Ferro does...

Appreciate the very in-depth look. I might test these changes, at least the Clef and Tran spreads if nothing else. I think you might be right about Pult running the boots set too, as I started testing that and it's been putting in work. Rilla has been on my mind, and makes sense paired with Tran...

A third fighting weakness is really pushing it. I think you're right that I have just enough counterplay to Tran (Lando/Tran cores are annoying still). But Tran vs Tran is often a 50/50. I do think Hydrei is good as I used it over Pult briefly, but it's hard to slot in without gimping my team...
