Introduction
Ive never posted on here before so idk how to format anything really, but i had made a Rillaboom team after being inspired by Blunders video on the funny monkey, but after hitting #9 on the ladder, Rillaboom got banned. that wasnt enough for me though so i replaced rillaboom with thwackey, and i got #2 on the SV UU ladder with the sillier smaller monkey (unfortunately no replays but there is proof of peak and some images of games i won which ill put at the bottom ig), and figured itd be fun to share, because its Thwackey, and Thwackey is funny.
Micky Jr. (Thwackey) @ Terrain Extender
Ability: Grassy Surge
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Grassy Glide
- Wood Hammer
- Knock Off
- U-turn
Thwackey has the obvious job of setting grassy terrain for the rest of the team, as they banned my beloved rillaboom, and decided that wasnt going to stop me from spamming the braindead grassy terrain HO cheese. I maxed out its physical bulk because i often had to switch Rillaboom into keldeo secret swords, which did over half, though i never ran into any, and ive considered running max attack thwackey to pose somewhat of a threat, but decided this was more consistent. Moveset is just what RIllaboom does; prio move, hard hitting move, item removal, pivot. ive considered leech seed as an option but idk if thats worth it. Eviolite was considered over terrain extender, because honestly the terrain doesnt really need to be up long, just enough to activate a grassy seed, but i decided prolonged recovery on manaphy was awesome. i never once terad with it so idk if tera water is even good, kinda just gave it a generic type that was grass.
Mexican (Hawlucha) @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Unburden
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 132 HP / 252 Atk / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Acrobatics
- Substitute
- Swords Dance
Hawlucha, the famous grassy terrain abuser, was the obvious first pick for the team. 124 Speed lets it outrun Jolly Sand Rush Excadrill, with the rest dumped in bulk to help setup. CC, Acrobatics, and sd are self explanatory. i know encore is ran a lot, but i liked sub, since with tera water it let me setup on slowking that didnt have psychic noise, which i rarely saw, and sub in general was just useful for scouting teras and whatnot. tera water is also nice for resisting scizor bullet punch.
Big Stupid Meany (Latios) @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 240 Def / 16 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stored Power
- Aura Sphere
- Calm Mind
- Agility
Honestly, this was the real star of the team. one free turn to get on the field and agility into two calm minds won games on the spot, and finding those opportunities was not hard at all, especially with tera steel. 16 speed with timid outruns scarf meowscarada, and the rest of the evs were dumped into its bulk to make it as difficult to get rid of as possible, though max special attack probably works well (it did feel like i was missing out on potential power sometimes, but the bulk was useful). ive thought about tera electric to remove all weaknesses since latios itself is already so fat, but the resists of steel felt nice.
Searknight (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 16 HP / 200 Def / 132 SpA / 160 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
Heatran was another mon that felt like an auto-include. Halfed eq damage, doubled lefties, anti-meowscarada technology, and stealth rocks were all useful. 200 defense and 16 hp lets it live non-band protean meowscarada low kick from full, which both a. tells me if its band, which is important, and b. gives me 2 chances to burn it with flame body, which is extremely helpful when i need my latios to click multiple setup moves without dying. 160 speed outruns adamant scizor, because close combat isnt very cool when im the one taking it, and the rest went into special attack with modest so it did damage, because thats useful believe it or not. Tera grass was originally since i had tera grass blast over taunt, but that was never getting used over game winning teras on lucha, latios, and comfey, so it was switched to taunt, and the tera didnt change. maybe id go tera ghost but idk i was never using it anyway.
Drink Water ong (Manaphy) @ Leftovers
Ability: Hydration
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 64 HP / 252 SpA / 192 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Energy Ball
- Ice Beam
- Tail Glow
Manaphy was originally some fatass stored power set, but my friend wntre gave me this and it worked well so i just went with it. take heart might be good but idk tail glow was funny it let me break things for the awesome sweepers. moveset feels standard idk if theres any elaboration needed on that, and i aint got a damn clue what the tera or stat spread are for cause i never asked. idk maybe its the sample set. either way manaphy gave me a water type which is great cause water and it was breaking things with extreme power and the fatassery of lefties + terrain. maybe some more spdef to live thundy tbolt from full would be useful idk
Ts is a Thundy (Comfey) @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Triage
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 240 HP / 252 SpA / 16 Spe
Modest Nature
- Draining Kiss
- Tera Blast
- Taunt
- Calm Mind
Contrary to what the nickname says, this, in fact, is not a thundy. Comfey felt natural because grassy seed and calm mind make it hard to kill and draining kiss heals it. appearently the speed is to outrun volcanion and metagross, which i did not see a single time but sure i guess whatever. fatass and it hits as hard as a comfey reasonably can. Giga drain might be useful but i liked taunt to shut down opposing setup or slowking trying to pivot or whatever. Stored power is probably also useful but idk its not exactly good coverage. I heavily considered (well i still do consider it) dropping comfey for thundy, since thundy has the whole beating skarmory thing, which is useful when my entire team despises whirlwind, and it also gives an offensive tool against waters that isnt a thwackey, as well as torn who is a pain in the ass to lead into. I never did because it got me so far already, and comfey pulled games out of its ass that i def shouldve lost.
And uh yeah thats the team. i personally think grassy surge is dumb and should get the boot because this cheese does not feel fair at all, but i also do not play sv uu (besides this grind) and am probably talking out my ass. Anyway heres some screenshots of elo and games i won
