Project PU Teambuilding Lab (Accepting requests in 2025!!)

Houndoom @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Toxic
- Flamethrower
- Dark Pulse
- Sucker Punch/Super Fang/Destiny Bond

I believe houndoom has a legitimate niche in the tier to apply pressure to the following: delphox, Typhlosion Hisui, slowbro galar, amogus, espeon, and more. With doom's access to toxic and super fang, it can effectively cripple switchins such as milotic, florges, goodra. I can doom being used on a team that punishes switching/pivoting so hazards + water immunity + rocky helmet
 
Grumpig @ Kee Berry
Ability: Thick Fat
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 192 HP / 252 SpD / 64 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Calm Mind
- Nasty Plot
- Stored Power

(New to teambuilding in general) I've always like Grumpig and it seems relatively fast and tanky for the tier. This is what I came up with, SP set with Kee Berry for free +1. Should I lean full SpD? and go for the SpD version of Kee? Anyways, fairy tera for the dark resist and boosted DG (knock off seems like a big counter to this strat). I prefer a more balance playstyle and I've had some success pairing this with a scarf cram or kingdra, with a sticky hold muk to tank knock offs.

Duskull @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Protect
- Toxic / Will-O-Wisp
- Night Shade

First Oldgen requests yay :) (ADV)
I wanted to build around Duskull but I don't know 3G PU. I want him to check if a Furret/Trapinch is CB or not. That way he can position himself and poison everyone. He can easily poison/burn the whole team. And if there is a Mawlie, he can use Night Shade to cheap him. I would like the set to be IDENTICAL please. Ty

Here is a fat spikes team with this Duskull set which is the best archetype for it I believe. You need some other form of progress besides status so we have spikes and duskull to spin block. Toxic instead of wisp for surprise value vs fires coming in like charmeleon. Knock off lickitung is the special wall that can use heal bell and wish which this duskull needs desperately. Sealeo minun and charm provide mons with offensive and defensive utility, especially both encore users which are needed to deal with sub users that setup on Duskull and lickitung like wigglytuff. Modest overheat charm is just a fun set that gives you more PP and accuracy in long games and can really pressure lickitung with spikes
 
Hoopa @ Iron Ball
Ability: Magician
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball
- Calm Mind
- Focus Blast

never built in this tier before but i realised hoopa has a rly annoying speed tier, scarf not being fast enough and not being able to be in tr because it is too fast. I have, however, realised that this COULD work with tr iron ball, the speed halving effect being used like a +2 boost. As such, i am requesting a full tr team with this set pls. Sry if it is too gimmicky or smth. Thx for reading this in advance

EDIT: in sv pls
