- Thread starter OatIsHere
- Start date
Team 3, I like the Skarmory and Dragalge core in this team more than the first team because I feel like the Arcanine and Greninja that are also on the team provide more offensive pressure.
Love no one voted me lol

How will you build around Salamence?
Submission Deadline: October 22 19:00 GMT
Week 3: Salamence
:sv/salamence:
While not a flashy new mega evolution, Salamence brings to the table a ferocious set of stab options alongside strong mixed coverage and reliable recovery in Roost, making it a strong wallbreaker in its own right. With so many sets there are plenty of options to build around this Pokemon. :sv/salamence:

:salamence::feraligatr-mega::kommo-o::greninja::mimikyu::arcanine-hisui:
This is an ho team with special salamence to chip water and dragons so that :feraligatr-mega: can clean, helmet :kommo-o: is the rocks setter which allows it to beat pokemon like skarmory and maushold.

Salamence is the late game cleaner, the rest of the team is made to chip down mons and allowing late game mence to go crazy, sylveon can take special hits really well and wish pass into others and cofagrigus can take a hit from mons like gatr and
harcanine (32 Atk Arcanine-Hisui Head Smash vs. 32 HP / 32+ Def Cofagrigus: 67-79 (40.6 - 47.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO) while giving them mummy, sub melphox just seems really good to not use with Levitate preventing spikes and toxic spikes and wish sylveon to let it come in multiple times

Sorry for sending this a bit past deadline. The team composition is hazard stack, Kleavor setting rocks with Stone Axe and Forretress setting spikes. Salamence as a Dragon Tail user can constantly overwhelm the opposition. Houndstone is the spin blocker to prevent Rapid Spin from removing the hazards. With Dragon Dance Gyarados-Mega, the idea is that any teams successfully removing hazards will have already have spent too much time trying to remove them, causing Gyarados to hopefully sweep through the entire team. If this fails, Umbreon can help keep the team healthy as a useful Wish support mon, with SpDef investment this weak to try to take special hits.

As one of the newest editions to the tier, Mega Delphox has a great STAB combination backed up by coverage such as Focus Blast for Tyranitar, Dazzling Gleam for Umbreon and Grass Knot for Swampert. Levitate makes it so it can negate Ground moves from Hippowdon and Swampert with Nasty Plot to be a terrifying Pokemon
How will you build Mega Delphox?

I decided to use Encore on Mega Delphox for trolling purposes. It works! Toxicroak was added as a way to check threats like TTar, Greninja and Umbreon (all mentioned in the main post lol). The rest are a supporting crew. I copied Persian's set from Pinkacross as a fast disrupter. Its main role is to Switcheroo its scarf and Parting Shot everywhere.
I gained around 100 ELO using this team! Here is a replay against a higher ELO player than I:

https://pokepast.es/b75b83f7a8d674b5
I know nothing about the tier :D
:delphox-mega: Fire+Psychic is good enough in terms of coverage, only thudding into Tyranitar, but mon's buns and dies quickly anyway. So we greed for Nasty Plot + Encore, to find as many opportunities to have Mega Delphox run circles around the opposing team.
:hippowdon::umbreon: I prefer playing fat so I went for physdef Hippowdon + spdef Umbreon to have good coverage into I am guessing what is most of the tier. Wish passing is quite nice for Mega Delphox too, which can use its defensive profile to much better success than in OU thanks to the lower power level.
:tauros-paldea-aqua: I wanted some priority and an attacker that could repeatedly switch into Tyranitar/Harcanine and pressure stuff alongside Mega Delphox, so there it is. It also benefits quite a lot from Wish.
:scizor: I looked for a Steel that wasn't bad and the options are very limited. Scizor was the closest thing I could find. It switches into Fairies that threaten Umbreon, and it gives us another solid attacker + priority which is always welcome, especially since we do not have a Scarf.
:decidueye-hisui: I realized I did not have hazard removal, which is horrible for Mega Delphox, not to mention that I have 5 grounded mons. There is no Hamurott in the tier, but the options are limited.

:Delphox-mega::kommo-o::vaporeon::scizor::hippowdon::floette-eternal:
This is a balance team with nasty plot melphox with psyshock to hit milotic, vaporeon and sylveon harder. It also has ironpress kommo-o(imo the best set), wish vaporeon to heal kommo back up and scarf floette.

:delphox-mega: :skarmory: :scizor: :maushold: :kommo-o: :basculegion-f:
Decided to switch it up with a hyper offense. Maushold was supposedly found dead in a ditch but with knock off from scizor it can spam those population bombs without getting knocked out by rocky helmet!

Week 5: Mega Feraligatr
:sv/feraligatr-mega:
Even with Mega Feraligatr's early release in M-A, it is still one of the most terrifying Pokemon to face. With its strong boosting moves in Swords Dance and Dragon Dance alongside its Water-Dragon typing, Mega Feraligatr can easily shred through walls with ease.
How will you build Mega Feraligatr?

Decided to build around Fake Tears Special Attacking Feraligatr-Mega. Any physical defense mons coming in will switch into a rude awakening when they get their special defense dropped and then nuked by a Dragonize Hyper Beam. To add some needed speed control, I put Swords Dance Weavile since it is very fast and can deal with the special walls like Slowking that Special Feraligar-Mega struggles with. So far I felt like the team was pretty weak into hazards, so Tsareena helps by providing helpful removal. Houndstone lets me 1v1 some of the physically threatening Pokémon that the rest of the team might struggle with, since Tsareena is special defensively invested. Scarf Gardevoir with Trick lets me get another good speed mon whilst also letting me have a tool to deal with bulkier teams through forcing a Scarf on them. Lastly, Substitute Cud Chew Sitrus Berry Blaze Tauros Bulk Up Substitute Raging Bull Close Combat lets me have another set up sweeper besides Weavile to keep the offensive pressure more energized whilst also helping me deal with opponents using screens.
