    My Goodra H Scarf Meows Encore Clef team


    I think Goodra H is a misunderstood mon. If she has so much SpDef already and middling offenses, AV just makes her bulkier but leaves her weak. We need to use that natural SpDef as it is and help patch up her offense. So lo and behold we have Specs.

    Now this mon is unexpectedly nice. Dragon Fire Steel is perfect coverage. Surf for the rare Heatrans. Also helpful vs Gliscor, Moth, Moltres. She can be brought into almost any SpAtk mon at high health for trades. Passive mons are always a good entry point with her perfect coverage. Also she manages to somehow wall Ogerpon W so you take that trade. Is faster than Gambit for that trade and finally can survive EQ from Glis but it was more relevant when we had Ice Beam.

    Next up we have Scarf Meows. I think this mon is literally a cheat code vs any offense. She's super nice late game when she can just outspeed the entire board and is looking to clean up after hazard chip. It's particularly nice meta for her as she outspeed Moon after DD and Moons most common Teras Ground and Flying are hit by Triple Axel for OHKO.

    Lastly we have Encore TWave Clef. This is a fun spin on the goat. I felt that the meta was too offensive for Clef so she was struggling with her CM sets and even if you run TWave CM, she just let's mons DD, SD for free. Encore remedies that. For example this completely flips the MUs of Ceruledge for example. Similarly Cress, Gliscor, Garga as well. Extremely fun to use.

    My Kommo O Metagross team for OU.

    I think Kommo O is super underrated with this defensive set. Takes on Moon, Dnite, Gambit, Zama, Tusk, Oger, Ledge etc. The Dark and Water resist are super nice as opposed to Chomp.

    Metagross is Punching Glove. This guy is no one's radar and he is amazing! TPunch 3HKOes Corvi, Mola both and Meteor Mash can straight up 2HKO Lando Glis. Unless they have a Zapdos, it's extremely difficult to not lose a mon to him. He can survive all defensive EQs and Knock Offs in the tier. Ultimate force a kill guy.

    Lastly Enam is super good right now. People are running Dark spam so much in lieu of Moon and Slowking G and Molt are kinda uncommon. Enam can just straight up sweep so many offenses with this set.

    This is the banded Meows version of the Mega Aboma. I liked this version more vs offense. Like Triple Axel can OHKO Zard Y and stuff. Band is really nice as well. You do lose the stall 6-0. If you face stally builds run Spikes otherwise just run Banded.

    Mega Aboma for Megas in NatDex OU

    With this I have sent the last Mega which you guys hadn't already used. So I saved one of the best for last.

    I absolutely adore Abomasnow. I didn't think much of him before but I got him in Champs as my starter squad and he ended up carrying so heavy. To this day he and Snorlax are my only win 100 battle with achievement mons in Champs.

    Ok so why is Mega Abomasnow so good? Snow change was a god send for him. He was a monstrous offensive threat but with low speed. But with the +1 he gains a large amount of defensive utility. Like this guy can take +2 Chomp Z Outrage. He can even eat +1 Fire Punch from Dnite. Blizzard Giga Drain and EP forms our three move core and Ice Shard allows to pick off guys. I love Veil as well but it is definitely better on regular Clay Abomasnow. We have enough Speed fot Mola, Tingu Lu and Corvi even after Mega.

    So on this team I ran him with Hazard stack. I was thinking of cheesy options like late game TR Slowbro or late game Veil into some broken guy but Hazards really ended up being what brought his full potential out. Blizzard + Shard start getting ranges against even things like Zama with Spikes + Rocks.

    To support Aboma we have Pads Spikes + 3 Atks no Flower Trick Meows. This is the best Meows set in the whole game. You do miss the broken signature move but Aboma is there for Waters and Spikes are so nice to lay up vs any bird on the switch. You also spam Triple Axel with impunity as you are pads up. This set can take over any balance or stall MUs.

    Next up we have Z Bold Ghold. Spin blocker, Lele Check, breaker all in one.

    Mixed Def Chomp with enough Speed for Modest Bolt can survive +2 Polter from Ceruledge and can avoid 2HKO from Zard Y Weather Ball. Our Rocker and Phazer with D Tail.


    Terapagos for spin and emergency check to anything.

    Lastly the goat Mola. This girl is busted beyond believe with Toxic. There is no reason to not run her on your balances.

    Yo Blunder been a while since I played Gen 9 Ou but I got back on and made a team that's pretty strong getting me from 1400s to 1700s, just wanted some fun shit so I made a CB Great Tusk team cause I got tired of all them walls lol, anyway here's the team, hope you have fun gng.

    Hi Blunder I saw y'all doing Megas to High Ladder and now that we completed Latios, I made this super fun to use Latias Mega team with Iron Hands while I was on 1600s

    https://pokepast.es/3ca0fdc6afca0ce6

    Pretty straightforward fun to use team. It's just very fun to click SD and claim mons and very fun to use. Plus Iron Hands behind a veil never dies xD

    Also just to push the greed and keep hands and lati safe, I'm running Safeguard on Ninetales xD

    I believe it's a pretty solid team and in fact I could beat Prince5's team with this, Hands compliments Lati really well so yeah! Hope you end up using it and hope you like it! I think Iron Hands is unwallable as it is, but with Safeguard and Veil Ninetales you got yourselves a threat there. Lati defensively and offensively compliments this Hands really well too

    If you want the extra power you can probably change lefties for Life Orb and Drain Punch on Rilla for Superpower but apart from that it's got all it needs imo... Hope you like it and hope you end up using it!

    Mega Altaria for Megas in NatDex OU.

    This is somewhat of a new take on Mega Altaria. We have Adamant for decent power. Enough Speed to outspeed base 125s at +1 and Max HP.

    Max HP allows you to get quite bulky because Altaria has high defenses + middling HP. We also run Cloud Nine to wall Zard Y early game. You are also able to shrug off Barra and Kingdra on rain. With this you are not just behold into sweeping. You can give much needed defensive utility early game. Your gameplan is to remove steels and Poisons for Altaria sweep and team is built for that.

    Firstly we have Slowking G mixed Def with Rocky Helmet, Ice Beam. This gives us an extremely good pivot, Lando T weakener, Future Sight breaking capability, one of the best poison answers in the game. Because of our investment on both sides, you won't be able to play it brainlessly. You will have to double him in a couple times because he does get chipped with this spread but at high healths he is super nice.

    Next up we have Fini. CM Surf Draining Kiss Sub. Sub is really cool on her because people don't expect it. They think that Mola walls her for life and they wait for Misty to wear off and then try to toxic. Even in general you can Sub on Mola Flip Turn, Uturn Corvi etc and get a strong hit on the guy they will be forced to send in. Misty is extremely nice with Alt because people really rely on Toxicing her. Fini is such a cracked version of Prima. People stopped using her in NatDex due to Mola uprising but it's super nice with set and preys on those very teams that rely on Mola for everything.

    Next up we have Gliscor SD Facade EQ. Facade I really like in NatDex because Knock is only for for Balloon Ghold but have Treads. Glis heavily weakenes all Altaria checks like Mola, Corvi, Lando T,etc. If team is too defensive then Gliscor and Fini can take over, if team is too offensive Altaria can sweep with DDance.

    Treads with Rocks Spin Knock. Outspeeds Lele and rest in SpDef and HP.

    Lastly we have Z Fight Zama. This guy is a nice lure. CC into Z Fight OHKOes Corvi, Mola, M Sciz etc. so acts as another lure with M Altaria. Had Future Sight support to break particularly fat cores that even setup Gliscor and setup Fini struggle with. Is only speed control.

    Hey man, wanted to see if y'all would want to check out one of our ladders on Ladder Spotlight, Random Tandem. Its a bring 9, pick 6 metagame, but the gimmick is you only build 3 mons and the rest are auto generated. Its very fun with different custom and sometimes Uber combos. Link to the thread for more info, posted some teams to ladder with.

    Mega Gallade for Megas in NatDex OU.

    I run Mega Gallade on Webs and I runa really cool Sub Bulk Up dual stab set. The reason is that this set sweeps a lot. Gallade has the high Def low HP problem so Max HP helps it disproportionately and it can setup easily in things like Mola, Lando T, Gliscor, Corvi, Bolt, Zama ,Tusk etc. This set feels borderline broken because you can't status him. He lives all attacks and heals back with Drain, Psycho Cut dodges the hax from Zap, Molt. Really makes Gallade feel unique.

    Next up we have Araq for Webs. I absolutely adore shuckle but Araq is simply the best Web setter by a large margin. This set in particular we have enough defense to always survive 1 Diamond Storm from Mega Diance and OHKO back with Surf and then get Custap Webs off. Pounce is better in case things try to set up on you. Endeavour in case you are actually in danger of getting OHKOed.

    Next up we have Balloon NP Recover Ghold. This guy is just mandatory on Webs. Ghold is not that pressured to keep Webs up because Araq is more reliable in mid game in case you don't go for early webs. Like for example Boots Terapagos, Boots Treads and Cind will always get Webs off. In this case you can use both Araq and Ghold as trade mins which is why this team is quite consistent.

    Silk Scarf SD Multi Attack Crunch Explosion Silvally. This guy is stupid strong. Always can guarantee a kill except in M Sable MUs. +2 Explosion kills Mola and +4 Explosion kills Corvi. Both absolute Max Defense. Multi Attack is extremely powerful as well. I once 2HKOed SpDef Ferro with just Rocks.

    Adamant Z Dragon ESpeed Dnite. This is such a dumb mon. I needed priority and a speed boosting guy in case I can't get webs up and I got that role compression in one guy. Multiscale is way too good. I tried Mence before but poor guy is nowhere close to as good as Dnite is.

    Lastly we have Booster Treads. We gets. Really fast mon, a ground type, rocks and a spinner. Really good utility mon. Ghold covers the birds it lets in for Defog.

    Mega Camel TR for Megas in NatDex OU

    I run Rock Slide and Rocks because Zard and Volc are rampant and Rocks can ease predictions later. I was kinda disappointed by Camel partially due to 2000% Mola usage but also because even with Max HP he seemed frail to me.

    Next up we have Z Draco Nasty Plot Apple. He is particularly here for Mola epidemic and for Gliscor. Along with Trace P2 he can match the longevity of defensive structures like these. He also heavily pressures stall.

    Luna is the TR staple. Fire Punch for Balloon Ghold, Corvi, Ferro. Teleport P2 can activate Orb on the switch.

    Sash Lead Hat.

    P2 is SpDef and can take on Zard Y.

    Cress is Phys Def and can take on annoying Fake Out users Lop and Medicham. RH can be good as well because Taunt is so incredibly rare but in case you do face it, it's game ending for you right there, so Mental herb is our choice.

    Trick Room was just kinda not fun to play imo. Protect Mola Gliscor run rampant. Lopunny with Fake Out is extremely common as well. I faced niche breakers like SD Mega Hera and CB Hoopa U which unbeatable threats for a team like this. Every battle seemed uphill.

    And the issue is kinda Camel itself. He is so stupid slow that you don't have much of an opportunity to run him outside of TR and even if you do you are checked by so much like Mola, LandoT, Garchomp, Gliscor, etc. that it doesn't even feel worth it to support on any other team. Like I had an idea for Nature Power with Koko but he seemed even worse. Your best bet is to set up a nice stage for him with your TR core and get mini sweeps late game.

    Mega Pinsir for Megas in NatDex OU.

    This is one of those ........ experimental teams.

    I have had extremely dominating wins and extremely bad loses but it's bottom line super fun!

    Our Pinsir is SD Double Edge EQ Quick Attack. The team is kind of like a suicide squad as you will see. Pinsir is supposed to blow a huge hole or go on mini sweep. EQ for Ghold. Hyper Cutter for Lando.

    Next up we have Custap Belly Drum Self Destruct Snorlax. This guy is crazy trade mon! You can use it as a catch all check with his immense bulk and Gluttony Custap or a wallbreak unit with Belly Drum.

    Next up we have Chople SD Multi Attack Explosion Silvally. Crunch is just to bit get walled by ghosts. This guy is crazy can OHKO Corvi at +4 and Mola at +2 Boom. With Chople you can survive mist anything and get a good trade.

    SD Glove Urshifu for Screens in particular and Water resist, Fire Resist, Priority etc.

    RH Pain Split Hat might seem weird here but it covers Mega Sabeleye or otherwise stalls, Entry Hazards. Extremely important mon especially to spread Nuzzle and chip teams a bit before we go in with booms.

    Lastly we have Booster CM 3 Atks Valiant to clean up when everything is done. We carry both Stabs and Shadow Ball for Pech Ghold. You can run Focus Blast and that would legitimately be broken but I was happy with Aura Sphere. Encore is pointless here.

    Make Silvally Silk Scarf. That is important for ranges vs Bulky Bolt, Full Phys Def Mola and Full Phys Def Corvi

    Mega Latias in NatDex OU for Megas.

    This time I got a really cool Latias set. It's Max HP Max Speed but with Future Sight + Draco! The idea is that Latias benefits a disproportionately with Hp investment due to her lopsided 80/120/160 spread and they don't expect this level of power. You stop having to predict Steel and Fairies as you can just click Future Sight. Roost Defog to round out the set as they give max utility with this. You are extremely bulky like you take 50% from +2 Oger Power Whip.

    Continuing the trend of extremely bulky and strong mons we have Z Nasty Plot SpDef Pech. This has been custom made to blow past special answers. I have lived Psychic from Mega Latios with this set and non Stab EPs from Terapagos, Diance etc are laughable. Z allows you to keep Knock off weak and 1v1 Ttar of all mons. You outspeed bulky Glis with this and still only take 35% from EQ.

    Next up we have LO Zama. I am of the opinion this guy is straight up broken with this set. Somehow NatDex doesn't carry that many answers to him. It's best to abuse him on as many teams as you can. He is supported well by Future Sight.

    SpDef Lando T the ultimate glue. You guys already know how great this guy is. It's funny how much better Lando T is as opposed to Tusk, Treads in NatDex. Even if Lando T just kept Defog, I think he would be hella good in SV OU. Knock and Toxic aren't even that necessary. Here on this set I run all moves that he currently gets.

    We have the mixed Def Mola next up. After playing for a while I have realised that a balance v balance MU where one player has Mola and other doesn't is extremely uphill for the no Mola guy. I feel there is no reason to not run this guy. Regen Slow Pivot, scouts with Protect, Toxic Protect to whittle down threats and Wish keeps out boys health. Borderline broken mon with Toxic.

    Lastly we have Gambit SD. Again this guy is extremely underplayed in NatDex. I don't like the AV weak set and SD still gets buckets especially since he completely walls Molas. You don't go for the last mon Gambit reverse but with one or two deads, he can surely open up a hole and his defensive utility is still phenomenal.
