VGC VGC Reg I Miraidon CIR Tailroom

[IcarusOOT]

Calyrex-Ice @ Clear Amulet
Ability: As One (Glastrier)
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
IVs: 29 Spe
- Glacial Lance
- High Horsepower
- Protect
- Trick Room

Standard set, 29 speed IVs for the mirror match, not max to make sure I can out speed max IV CIR in trick room. Mostly trying to take advantage of whatever speed is best.

Considering swapping to Leftovers and just trying to stay on the field as long as possible

Miraidon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Hadron Engine
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Volt Switch
- Electro Drift
- Draco Meteor
- Dazzling Gleam

Just going standard with tera fairy DG. Volt switch go brrrrr. Either outright one shotting or softening up for Caly.

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Focus Sash
Ability: Unseen Fist
Level: 50
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- Aqua Jet
- Protect

Trying to deal as much damage as possible, it's Urshifu

Been jumping between protect and u-turn

Landorus @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 116 SpA / 132 SpD / 4 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sandsear Storm
- Earth Power
- Sludge Bomb
- Protect

Landorus feels like a nice middle ground that works in both tailwind and trick room, leaning more towards spd to survive CalyS. Just kinda generic.

Whimsicott @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Def / 4 SpA / 212 SpD / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tailwind
- Moonblast
- Encore
- Protect

Tailwind setter. Split defenses, a lil into speed and spa to deal a bit of damage and out speed no speed investment Whimsicott, bouncing between ghost and dark tera

Ogerpon-Hearthflame @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 236 HP / 92 Atk / 100 Def / 4 SpD / 76 Spe
Adamant Nature

- Ivy Cudgel
- Wood Hammer
- Follow Me
- Spiky Shield

A spot I haven't fully settled on. I like Ogerpon with its redirection, purposely lower speed so it can function a bit better in TR.

I've also played around with Incineroar, Farigiraf, and Iron Hands in this spot. Mostly Incineroar, I like the fake out on Incin, but having that extra power in Ogerpon feels nice, no grassy glide sucks though.

This is actually really solid, only a few changes to be considered:


Scarf Miraidon tends to work better on Ice Rider teams (especially since you really enjoy the TR mode) to pivot out with Volt Switch into another Trick Room Pokemon and setting Trick Room with another partner at the same time. You sacrifice power, yes, but Electro Drift, Volt Switch, and Draco Meteor (the former 2 boosted by a Tera Electric) still chunk a lot. And in the last slot, instead of dgleam, Snarl could work out for Lunala and CSR and Terapagos.

I think at least Farigiraf should be in this team. Maybe over Whims? If not, it would end Hearth flame or Lando that would have to go. Iron Hands would be a nice replacement for any of those slots + shifu if you'd like. Play around with those, if it doesn't click then experiment with the next.

Would you recommend just abandoning the idea of trying to go for a Tailroom strat then? It's basically the only reason I have Whimsicott on the team
