SV OU Arcanine-H Team

Team was built based on my hate for stall & the overwhelming force of :Hisurian Arcanine: Head Smash. Being able to 2 hko the top tier physical walls like: :dondozo: :corviknight: :Alomomola: :Pecharunt: (rocks chip) and what Head Smash doesn't 2 shot or just straight up kill then Flare blitz will do the job 2hkoing things like: Great tusk, Ting Lu, and ofc it ohkos iron treads.

Most people lead tusk when they see arcanine on the team or just a bulky ground type in general. Chomp, Ting, Tusk are the usually arcanine checks so for support i went sinistacha punishing tusk heavy with mocha potentially passing down burns to something like Kingambit on a switch in and just a overall decent mon to bring in on ground types in this current meta of ou. While doing that sinistacha also provided a somewhat decent answer to the unwallable ogerpon wellspring.

Third was the thought for a slow pivot and a decent answer to weather wake. Tera water makes u really annoying against both rain and sun teams. Ice beam felt best for tera water on something like gliscor. Future site really helps break when rocks just aren't able to be put up paring well with arc flare blitz and zamazenta close combat.

Zamazenta felt like a must because arc gets locked into head smash threatening resist usually come in like kingambit. Zama provided a soft check to gambit, a speed tier that out speeds darkrai and weavile. Boots to avoid webs just incase treads cant get rid of them. Tera fire for the resist to fairy while also resisting ceruledge bitter blade and burns.

Treads was a suggested spinner. Prior i had cinderace but a raging bolt check was really needed. Treads keeps zapdos and raging bolt from volt switch spamming the team. Knock off coverage because I'm just a firm believer that there's no point in running rocks if u don't have something with knock it also was for gholdengo balloon and pech with boots. Opening up arc to 2 shot pech on switch in.

Last was a ground immunity because after tera on sinistach the team gets cooked by ground types without a flyer. Wanted to keep the offensive pressure going and use someone that can take advantage of tusk coming in on gking mid chilly or ting hazard setter ting. Came up with taunt tornadoes T 2hkoing ting lu after 1 nasty plot and forcing hazard lu to switch do to taunt. Hurricane over bleaking wind because at a +3 hurricane 2hko blissey while bleaking wind doesnt.

threats are mainly kingambit, Dragapult, tera ground mons like moth.
