Requesting a team built around sd lycanroc dusk (sv ru)
Approved by Rarelyme.
Here's a Sword Dances Boots Lycanroc paired with a pivot Incineroar team I built for scl.
The idea of this offensive core is to knock off the item from hippowdon or slowbro and burn them or using parting shot to lower stats from the opponent's pokemon and let a free sd for lycan. I chose to play boots on lycanroc in order to keep his hp as high as possible. Incineroar may be an unraked mon on the vr but has a great niche as a pivot with good support moves and being able to check two big threats like bisharp and armarouge.
I wanted to use stack hazards to take advantage of incineroar's knock off and help lycanroc breaking/cleaning game, so i chose Gastrodon as a water immunity and electric immunity and a good physical wall. Tera ghost helps to spinblock and gives Fighting immunity. 68 EVs in special defense allows to be 3HKO from Basculegion-f Modest shadow ball.
Then, i wanted some speed control, ground immunity and a way to punish defog and that's why gapdos is the best choice here+it gives a pivot pokemon in order to have more opportunities to set up lycanroc. The tera steel helps for hilligant mu and gapdos mu, in one hand it gives ice resist and in the other one it gives flying resist.
I needed a steel mon with stealth rock, I prefer this jirachi instead of a registeel because of U-Turn but also because it baits Volcanion and Basculegion-f in and heavily damages them with thunder. I chose to play Air Balloon in order to be immune against spikes the first time and gives a ground immunity for Mamoswine match-up. Tera Dark gives a Ghost and Dark resistance for Krookodile, Basculegion-f/Gengar and Mimikyu match up.
For my last mon i wanted a Fighting Resist and koff absorber in Reuniclus with Colbur Berry and Magic Guard to be immune to hazards. 44 EVs in special attack allows you to OHKO Krookodile after a layer of spikes. I went with a fast Reuniclus in order to outspeed Gastrodon and Calm Mind Slowbro in order to win the Calm Mind war.
