3. | Introduction
⸻
Was good yall, Just wanted to share another Team concept me and Coach Savouras created using
as the main idea. This was my first time using the Pokémon so the exp was fun with lots of new found info for me as a trainer. First thing we thought about was Usage because not only does have amazing bulk but also amazing sp.attack. That being said we decide to work with best of both worlds spreading his evs out to tank and dish out damage. Second was synergies, what pokemon partnered well with Hydrapple and provide the coverage we are lacking? Well that Pokémon we determined was Assualt Vest 
and wow was this mf thick. Alomomola gives us a switch in to most sp.attackers in the meta while also being apple to pivot out and appreciates the def value of hyrapple being apple to check 
while also providing a dope Regenerator core I found to be very fun. With a solid core from those two we decide to add a raging bolt answer which was 
giving us ground/electric immunity and a knock off absorber once toxic orb activates. Gliscor utility really helps with the teams longevity and punishes drawn out end games with spikes and toxic. Next felt like a must which was hoopa unbound. Firm believer in if your running hazards u damn sure need a knock off Pokémon and 
executes not only that role but a nasty punisher on switch ins. you can feel his base 160 attack every time he hits something. Next was 
for a sure way to control hazards and also a Pokemon to out speed on a scouted play rough against and Lastly 
we wanted a way to block hazard removal from 
and 
while also gaining a answer to fairs other than tera hoopa. Gholdengo felt best in this last slot especially being able to twave switch ins like 
giving apple a easier matchup late game being able to out speed is huge. The Team really seemed to thrive against hyper offensive like veil 
because can court change and hazards start adding up, bulky offensive in the long term get crippled by or . Here are the noticeable Synergies: + + form a near-unbreakable core between Regenerator recovery and status pressure. Status infliction: Between Thunder Wave , Body Slam , and Will-O-Wisp , nearly every matchup involves some kind of speed or power control.Hazard Cycle:
lays Spikes → flips them → prevents Defog → continuous chip wears foes down for . Pivot Chain: Flip Turn + U-turn + Regenerator loops ensure momentum is in your favor.⸻

5. | Threats To The Team
⸻
- Opposing hazard stack can get crippling. Hydrapple Usually punishes those cores like
& but it depends on your tera timing. 
knock off set can be annoying and cripple your taking away its av, and the nasty plot set is devastating so - 4atk can get annoying but bodyslam, hazard, and rock chips, along with out speed should keep it in check.
- Stall, Be very careful how you use because he is your win condition
