Disclaimer: This team is gimmicky and was made just for fun. Although I would like advice for my team, please do not ask me to change my lineup, unless it is to replace weavile with a more suitable revenge killer. This team and its replays are only in extremely low-ladder, so be warned.
Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Stun Spore
- U-turn
- Moonblast
My main webs setter who almost guarantees setting webs each time. Ribombee is also able to spread para with stun spore and pivot with u-turn directly into Cinderace for court change. Moonblast is for nuking after webs are set:
8 SpA Ribombee Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Iron Valiant: 300-354 (103.8 - 122.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Iron Valiant Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Ribombee: 196-232 (75 - 88.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Court Change
- Pyro Ball
- U-turn
- Will-O-Wisp
The gimmicks centerpiece, Cinderace switches in to court change, preferrably after the opponent set hazards so at worst they spend a turn removing the hazards. It spreads burns to punish physical attackers like Dragonite, physical Iron Valiant, and opposing Kingambit. With Pyro Ball it outspeeds and 2HKOs the most prominent defogger, Corviknight, without dying to it in the tier if it doesn't use tera:
4 Atk Cinderace Pyro Ball vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Corviknight: 204-242 (51.1 - 60.6%) -- 90.2% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Kingambit @ Assault Vest
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Kowtow Cleave
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
- Tera Blast
With a free +2 Atk just for switching in, this pokemon was an obvious pick for my gimmick. The speed drop matters not when you have sucker punch mind games, and tera blast fairy is better than low kick here due to how much less heavy this meta is than Ubers. It absolutely destroys Dragonite though:
+1 252+ Atk Dragonite Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Tera Fairy Kingambit: 157-185 (38.8 - 45.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+2 252+ Atk Tera Fairy Kingambit Tera Blast (80 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Multiscale Dragonite: 306-361 (94.7 - 111.7%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
Serperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 120 HP / 252 SpA / 136 Spe
Timid Nature
- Glare
- Leaf Storm
- Giga Drain
- Dragon Pulse
My only fast attacker besides Weavile, this pokemon gets a speed boost upon entry and further sweeps with contrary leaf storm. These EVs were taken from u/Remnatar on the r/stunfisk subreddit, who had a similar idea. Tera Rock was chosen because it covers most of grass's weaknesses defensively, although Tera Blast can be exchanged for Glare. It's able to 2HKO physically defensive Dondozo while taking minimal damage:
252 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Dondozo: 416-492 (82.5 - 97.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
0 Atk Dondozo Waterfall vs. 120 HP / 4 Def Serperior: 45-53 (14 - 16.5%) -- possibly the worst move ever
Empoleon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Competitive
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
- Flip Turn
- Ice Beam
- Surf
- Vacuum Wave
Basically being a special Kingambit, the speed drop means nothing with Vacuum Wave. The set for this mon was taken from the same reddit user, and the same post which I will link to later. It takes minimal damage from Dragapult and destroys it with Ice Beam:
+2 252+ SpA Choice Specs Empoleon Ice Beam vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Dragapult: 734-864 (231.5 - 272.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
196 SpA Dragapult Hex (130 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Empoleon: 168-198 (45.1 - 53.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage
Weavile @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
- Ice Shard
- Low Kick
My team's revenge killer and extremely fast, this mon uses HDB to avoid speed drops and is the team's only form of item removal. This pokemon can absolutely destroy other common late-game mons:
252 Atk Weavile Low Kick (100 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Kingambit: 352-416 (103.2 - 121.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ Atk Kingambit Sucker Punch vs. 4 HP / 0 Def Weavile: 92-108 (32.6 - 38.2%) -- 98.6% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Weavile Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Raging Bolt: 406-486 (103.8 - 124.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252+ SpA Protosynthesis Raging Bolt Thunderclap vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Weavile: 195-231 (69.1 - 81.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
