    Hey Aim,

    First of all glad your safe from your hospital visit and it wasn't anything too egregious, I wish you a swift recovery bc yeah that shit is ass. Anyway Im new to Smogon but been dabbling in competitive for about a year watching you and blunder + Jimothy, Freezerai and others. So I'm still climbing the ladder and it's annoying but it's fun too. I've been really liking Ursaluna as of late and trick room is cool and all but I've been experimenting with two sets: Specially Bulky Ursa and Grassy Terrain. The former is reminiscent of the set that got him banned from UU and inspired by Pinkacross as well. I added some grassy support with Rilla and with Ursa bulk it's kinda like Bad with it not caring about status and the Grassy terrain and the leftovers your gaining a lot of health back. Being able the stomach hits from Raging bolt, Waking Wake, Ghold and more with your special bulk. And Supporting you you have double ghost spin blockers w/ Pualt and Ghold (who also appreciates the grassy terrain) And with a G-Weeze for hazard control plus spreading burn
    and a Assault Vest Zama Because with no SpD investment it reaches a respectable 400 SpD so eating hits from Val and Glowing if worst comes to worst. I've been laddering and I'm not skilled enough to see any major checks yet but you can give me feedback with that as well.

    Team:
    https://pokepast.es/574b4d85a13dfdb4

    Okay, Now for the More Aggro Version:

    This Team features the same Rilla and Ursa core but More offensive in nature, with Rilla being classic banded and Ursa with flame orb. The cool synergy is that grassy terrain cancels out flame orb burn and with one trailblaze your outrunning and threatening to O.K a lot of threats you would be in Trick room but now normally such as Ghold, Tusk(Non defensive), H-Sammurot, Kyurem, lando and literally anything below 327 speed. I opted for terra grass for that little extra breaking power when wanting another Trailblaze for Mola but tera normal is also standard for pure muscle. And something to also remember is your still an Ursa with excellent bulk. G-Weezing sees a return because he appreciates the ground dampening effect of grassy terrain and the extra passive recovery. More standard we have a Hawlucha as a wincon again plenty of encore-able threats, pretty stander Hawlucha things. AV Prima appreciates the Tspike absorption from G-Weeze but also the passive recovery with terrain and as with Zama a naturally high SpD meaning we don't need to invest to reach 400 meaning we have More breaking power with our moon blast and liquid voice Psychic noises. And our last slot is a Expert belt Darkrai used to pick things off and speed control, you could opt for boots but in my testing Rai has been falling short of K.Os so I opted for the belt bc the Ice Dark and Poison coverage is superb.

    All in all this is my first write up on anything really Pokemon Related I've always been into games that allow you to optimize and competitive Pokemon is scratching that itch atm and I hope to get better and be more a part of the community. Thx for all u do and for u and blunder getting me into the community. ❤️

    Hey Joey,

    I hope you feel better soon and we're all praying for a speedy recovery <3

    I saw you've been playing old gens more so I wanted to pass you this banded Entei psyspam team that I peaked top 5 in SM OU ladder with.

    The team: https://pokepast.es/37fcdb8862336452

    Everything that switches into banded Entei hates Medicham and vice versa. This team cleaves through every offense structure in the meta with those two alone, while specs Magearna destroys bulkier builds.

    Defensive fly-Z :landorus-therian: gives you a better matchup vs Zard x, Gyara, bulky Volc, and Kart.
    - can change u-turn to knock off if preferred

    Sp. def :rotom-wash: is the team's defogger and can twave gren, offensive volc, zam, zard y, tapu bulu, and magearna, while living serp leaf storm from full health.

    :Entei: just spams fire move unless they have Heatran and has espeed to pick off frail mons.

    Standard :Medicham: has no switch-ins that aren't named cresselia, mew, or reuniclus.

    Choice specs :magearna: is excellent for denting steel types allowing Lele to clean up, mainly celesteela, ferro, heatran, and opposing mag
    - heart swap or calm mind are also great options and give the team a better matchup into fat builds

    Scarf :tapu lele: with aromatherapy gives this team an offense killer and last resort cleric in one slot. aromatherapy gives the team a better matchup into t spikes
    - hp fire can be ran for a safer option into scizor and ohko on kartana

    This team's goal is to maintain momentum by picking up early ko's with aggressive play and favorable positioning. thought you'd enjoy this over some of my bulkier builds and it'd make for better content.

    threats:
    :volcarona: any offensive team naturally struggles with it
    :charizard: y hurts more than x but both are threats
    :cresselia: and :reuniclus: biggest threats to the team, throw the kitchen sink at them- t-wave, force recovers, prevent free switches
    :alakazam: play terrain turns smart to allow medi and entei to revenge if needed- this goes for all frail threats

    Ghost Serp Webs. I have been liking Ghost on Serp because it's great into either one of Corvi Or Slowking G. I was trying it out on a Para spam team but ended up liking it so much that made a real team with it. You are walled by Gambit but team has 4 guys that beat Gambit so it doesn't come up much.

    Now, it's Kyurem's turn for DropaDraco. I ran Boots because with Blizzard and Tera Ice, you don't even need Specs and boots gives you so many opportunities to fire off attacks, not to mention his great bulk stays intact especially off the Snow boost. I run the Blim core but change up the sets to make it more active. Boots Zama is there for Future Signt abuse and Speed control.

    Wassup Aim,
    You might remember me from making that trick room cb araquanid team you used in a vid. I got a couple unique teams that I'm using to ladder right now that you might find interesting (currently at 1920 so high ladder tested)
    First one is a snow team that I think matches up great into the current state of OU and feels really strong into just about anything short of hard stall. The general game plan is to use belly drum cetitan and specs kyu to punch a big enough hole for zama to clean up. Here's the paste:
    https://pokepast.es/68ef39b163f4d0e8
    And here's a replay or two
    One of them is a cetitan sweep in the 1900s bc it matches up so well into common teams
    https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2382954309-wnol14489xecy98350hgi4uyygve4o9pw
    https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2382294938-wvhkyn4ng46srn7o2vjkq337fsgg2pspw

    The other team I have is a really unique trick room team with diancie and arboliva as the main offensive engines. This team is a little more inconsistent, but I still have found high ladder success when using it alternating with the hail team. Here's the paste:
    https://pokepast.es/a082ba65eb9d077d
    It's got a couple iffy matchups, like it is pretty kyurem weak but that's why bronzong is there. Matches up best into balance teams and can struggle with HO. Diancie though is a really potent sweeper somehow. Anyways here's a couple replays.
    Bronzong destroying stall:
    https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/...I_z1xIWj4dm4pn7g4G_aem_jxDIugutrhCzOSvDs_kghQ

    And bronzong cleaning up under trick room even after I played horrible.

    https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2382939314-p4wc8edlknud7a641l9lkyk1yiq7cuqpw

    Anyways thanks for your time and hope these teams catch your eye !

    Hydreigon this time for DropaDraco! I have been shilling this Eject Pack Rocks set since the BL Knights but you guys always end up using the Sub Nasty Plot. It's about time you try this. In this heavy BO metagame this much more proactive set definitely has merit.

    Hey Aim! So Houndoom is my favorite mon and I figured it might have some trading potential in OU with Counter and Destiny Bond, and I ended up making this and won a decent amount in the mid 1700's reaching a high of 1780 beating a top 100 player.
    https://pokepast.es/96ede0a10f77b426
    Essentialy Houndoom can take 1 or even 2 mons with him to open up endgames from Val or Zama, with Tusk spin support (team is pretty hazard weak) Oger as a breaker and Latios because idk.

    I'm generally really bad at building so being an average player i was really hap to win some games in the higher ladder with my fav mon.

    This time I got the Dracomenace himself, Salamence in celebration of Drop a Draco. Now, this guy is on nobody's radar but he ha some good things over Dnite. intimidate is really nice, esp into Oger. He outspeeds Tusk, Lando T etc.

    I run a Draco EQ Fire Blast set. This set is only really walled by Clef. It punishes Slowking G structures because uninvested EQ does a clean 55%. Val and Enam are 2HKOed by Fire Blast. Even Mola and Glis are heavily pressured because Draco is too strong. I really like this set because it is surprisingly effective.

    I got a Specs Mewtwo team, Mewtwo Chads. Now, I ran two new techs on this Mewtwo, first is Modest nature as there is no mon in between 394 and 359 and Arceus almost never runs max speed. This gives Mewtwo destructive power. Second is Tera Fire in Sun with Fire Blast to give Mewtwo secondary Stab. Psystrike is difficult to click sometimes so this is nice to have. Mewtwo is stupidly powerful, OHKOs Groudon in Sun with raw Fire Blast. OHKOes Blisseys with Psy Strike. OHKOs Ho-oh with Power Gem. Fire Blast is so strong in fact with Sun and Tera Fire that it does 70% to Lu and 45% to Ho-oh of all mons.

    This time I got another balance ft Hoopa U scarfed edition. The thing is that he outspeeds all offensive guys and Tera Dark Hyperspace is impossible to switch into. But the fun part is that it goes through protect and isn't contact so it even 2HKOes Glis, Corvi, Moltres etc. Mola needs to be chipped. With Trick it can cripple fat and go back to a mixed wallbreaker role. I run Psychic because the range vs Tusk, Zama and Enam is too food but you can try Psynoise if you want to it to double up as Stallbreaker as well.

    The idea of the team is that if opposing team is way too fat, fall back on CM Clef. Trick can invalidate a specific answer and Wisp from Pult can shut down physical attackers. CM Clef is really good in general because Garga and Glis are so spammed right now.

    Alternatively you can Twave in Offesne MUs to support Hoopa and Pult. I really like this bidirectional support. Twave also beats Slowking G, funnily enough.

    I like this Corvi set because it's your best bet into Oger W, Gambit. Also this set is very reminiscent of Bliss Seismic Toss. It slowly chips down team with Brave Bird, Press.

    AV mola because I feel it's best pivot guy in the tier. It is really only stopped by Wellspring and Slowking G but other than that, it almost gets momentum on the entire rest of the tier.

    A team ft Specs Download PZ Band Oger core. The idea is that Specs download PZ is a monster. It 2HKOes SpDef Garg with Ice Beam for instance. After PZ breaks, it's mad easy for Oger to clean up with its Tera Speed Boost. The best low tier that absolutely destroys in OU. In general PZ is incredibly good. I would go as far to say Adaptability is just wrong way to use him.
