This is an idea I brought up when prepping for uucl, but with the soul dew syndicate’s current standings, i feel quite safe sharing this. It’s basically a set i took from monotype but w/ wisp, which allows it to make even more progress, most notably vs skarm. This makes it much easier for its teammates to clean up. I personally prefer low kick which does a little more damage vs stuff like heatran and hits tar, but crushy also brought up bslam which is nice for spreading para vs things like torn, so it rlly depends on what the team needs. Tera fairy is mainly to deal w/ knock off from torn but an offensive tera works too
+2 252 Atk Zoroark-Hisui Low Kick (120 BP) vs. 252 HP / 96+ Def Heatran: 344-406 (89.1 - 105.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
+2 252 Atk Spell Tag Zoroark-Hisui Poltergeist vs. 252 HP / 208+ Def Skarmory: 211-249 (63.1 - 74.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock (whereas burned skarm cannot 2hko)

https://pokepast.es/1795d4aa6da1e71b whipped up a concept around screens around this but tera blast fairy just felt like a nice dark-middleground that does good into draco lati or dpulse. I heavily support Glare Serperior + Thunder Wave Tinkaton to attempt to get chokepoints?
Note: I extended this round ive been very busy irl my apologies

I like specs, specs can be very nuclear esp with the lack of many ghost resists you can fire shadow balls and sniping skarmory is pretty nice. With paralysis support and shadow ball hax you can really do well with it

This thread needs more love so I'll share a bit of a troll set here, but the main idea is basically being a fast wisper that could potentially set subs well to really "sell the act" due to its ability and can really utilize its positioning to spread status for Hex and be able to keep its sub vs a decent amount of passive stuff, or just do some surprisingly big damage to some of its main checks (even with the weird looking spread) with Focus Punch hitting things like Tyranitar, Excadrill, and Heatran. It could probably run other teras here too depending on what you'd want to keep sub against or if you wanted stab on the focus.
