Cycle 22: Slowking-Galar
:sv/slowking-galar:
Recently, Slowking-Galar has cemented itself as an incredible slow pivot, seeing use on over double the amount of teams Alomomola did throughout NDPL, and even managing to dethrone Zamazenta as the most used Pokémon during the tournament's third week. Its supporting movepool is excellent, limited not just to its ability to pass future sight but also to spread status through moves like Toxic, Thunder Wave, Scald, Sludge Bomb, and Toxic Spikes. Gking is not a threat to be taken lightly on its own either, as a passable base 110 special attack combined with a variety of strong coverage and even the occasional z-move means that Gking's seemingly linear gameplan of passing future sight to teammates can be very hard to exploit. How will you abuse Slowking-Galar's support?

Cycle 23: Tyranitar-Mega
:sv/tyranitar-mega:
Since Mega Tyranitar rose to OU, it has been a mainstay in the format for its immense breaking power and access to pursuit, an invaluable move that lets Tyranitar remove powerful Pokémon like Gholdengo, Slowking-Galar, and choice locked Tapu Lele. Although Tyranitar has lackluster speed combined with a typing that leaves it riddled with common weaknesses, including a four-times weakness to fighting, it's high bulk lets it trade even into Pokémon that can threaten it super effectively, shrugging off an attack and responding with a powerful STAB move or its choice of coverage. Despite its strength in battle, Mega Tyranitar is a Pokémon that requires a lot of support in the builder to utilize properly, as it lacks much true defensive utility and can provide free entry to many threatening mons like Zamazenta or Ogerpon-Wellspring. How will you build around this behemoth of a breaker?
