Introduction:

Wanted to try building with :Meowscarada:

, despite completely falling off over the past year or so, I noticed of just how many common structures it farms if played well. Managed to peak pretty high on the ladder at 1991 ELO, and truthfully if I wasn’t a lazy bum I could probably get this to 2100ish if I grinded ladder more.

Proof of peak:

Team Breakdown:

Meowscarada @ Choice Band
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Triple Axel

Went with the band since it’s easily Meow’s best set imo. What's nice is pretty much all it’s moves are spammable, with triple axel being particularly tough to switch into. Some notable calcs:

252 Atk Choice Band Protean Meowscarada Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Corviknight: 185-219 (46.3 - 54.8%) -- 68.1% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Choice Band Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Ogerpon-Wellspring on a critical hit: 264-312 (87.7 - 103.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

252 Atk Choice Band Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 252 HP / 88 Def Zamazenta on a critical hit: 187-222 (48.1 - 57.2%) -- 91.8% chance to 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

252 Atk Choice Band Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 244 HP / 36 Def Gliscor on a critical hit: 184-217 (52.2 - 61.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock and Poison Heal

252 Atk Choice Band Protean Meowscarada Triple Axel (120 BP) (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kyurem: 289-341 (73.9 - 87.2%) -- 98.7% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

252 Atk Choice Band Tera Grass Meowscarada Flower Trick vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Ting-Lu on a critical hit: 500-592 (97.2 - 115.1%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO

Pecharunt @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Poison Puppeteer
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Malignant Chain
- Foul Play
- Parting Shot
- Recover

Standard set so nothing to really say here, invested a bit more speed to outrun CB :tyranitar:

tho.

Enamorus @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Contrary
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Earth Power
- Mystical Fire
- Healing Wish

Main cleaner of the team, the main reason I chose it was healing wish, so meow isn’t completely ruined if it catches a stray flame body/static from the birds.

Iron Treads @ Leftovers
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 248 HP / 228 SpD / 32 Spe
Careful Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock

Needed decent hazard control and a blanket special check so I went with spdef treads, not much else to say here.

Skarmory @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 248 HP / 164 Def / 96 Spe
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Roost
- Spikes

Covert Cloak to not get 6-0d by Garg and enough speed to outrun adamant gambit, not much else to say here

Slowking @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 100 Def / 108 SpA / 52 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 27 Spe
- Scald
- Psyshock / Psychic Noise
- Fire Blast
- Future Sight

I originally had glowking here but the defensive synergy with pech was kinda awkward, so I ended up just switching it out for the OG. Fire Blast is nice for pressuring steels as much as possible, but if you don’t like missing flamethrower is an option. Psychic Noise is also a fine alternative over Psyshock, up to personal preference

Threats:

:Darkrai:

- Kind of annoying to deal with since it outruns meow, burn tera on Slowking if necessary

:Thundurus-Therian:

- rare but tough to deal with if it has focus blast for treads

:Gholdengo:

- Can find fairly safe entry on Skarm and Enam locked into moonblast, so be careful. Slowking takes 2 shadow balls, but it can get dicey with hazards up.

Replays:

Vs. :Kyurem:
