Smogon Premier League is here and the team collection is now available. Support your team!
Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Yo Blunder, now last up I had Gouging Fire on my list. I saved it for last because I felt it was the most broken out of all. Incredible bulk, good Atk and Spe, Recovery, DDance, a 270 base power move coming off of 430 something attack right off the bat, how couldn't it have been broken? But in practice, it felt just...ok.
Yo Blunder, next up I had Raging Bolt on my list. I think AV on Sun is the best set because it already has immense SpAtk which rivals Specs mons with Proto and with his great HP, AV gives it more opportunities to throw out attacks. It has good resistances, pivot move, priority and a nuke attack in Draco, necessary coverage in Weather Nall, it's the perfect AV mon.
Flip turn Draco lati ft defensive gouging fire, bulky offensive ghold, do it all swampert and ur mortal enemy scarf kyurum. https://pokepast.es/b86c4aa6e55b971c would change kyurum to modest instead of plus speed
Been trying to make Excadrill work in the DLC and finally got something that's winning consistently. Found hippo > tar since it was too exploitable + longevity is important with so much weather rn
Jolly Exca is for scarf darkrai, moon etc. Ogeron mitigates water weakness, psyshock is optional on darkrai
biggest weakness is dracos which you can pressure stall with corv
OU HO with Kyruem Boulder Serp Veil Core, got me to a new ladder peak (1601 as of earlier today) still not done laddering with it either, v3 most optimized, v2 was most tested tho, just remember to always lead boulder into deo s V1 V2 V3
Big blundo i got a sheisty team i made using Cinccino and Suicune. The Bureau (no info needed) already approves, now its the agencies turn. https://pokepast.es/eb8b3670d8410625
Yo Blunder, next up I cooked something too fire it Expanding Force Iron Crown Psychic Terrain team. The problem with this guy was he weak but that gets remedied and it's bulk comes in handy to set up. I found a cool use for Stellar type on Deo S which I tried before Deo gets banned. Team is rounded out by SD Hitmonlee. Extremely strong team. Gets so many sweeps.
Yo Blunder, next up I had Boulder on my list. Now, imho, it's a bit weak. 120 Atk with 95/80 Stabs is not getting any sweeps with SD so I tried Banded. It remains a bit weak and doesn't get crucial OHKOes like Pult, Darkrai etc, Tusk, Lando, Gliscor eat up his moves like nothing. Still, I do think it can work well vs Offense with his amazing Speed and good SpDef.
This time I built around Hydrapple. This mon is literally Tangrowth's Dad. It's unbreakable physically and is near unwallable in return with NP Fickle Beam EP which has a 30% chance to be 160. You ought to try it out. Team is super good against SpAtk threats running, R Bolt, Darkrai etc. Cyclizar is this set so it's not stopped by Gliscor.
Stellar Enamorus BO -- Just hit 1800+ with the team, it features new/returning moves (Temper Flare on Great Tusk, Pain Split on Rotom). Once you chip down the team, Enam cleans up with Scarf & Contrary, boosting its Special Attack each time it uses Stellar Tera Blast. Give it a try and rainbow blast the opps: https://pokepast.es/ffa004adcea07dae

Gouging fire showing how large of difference Crash makes vs Blitz
