Please please please please please please please please ban quick claw/draw already. Okay so here is my super duper cool and cheesy team
smol proof of peak
Teambuilding :v
I wanted to play in Week 1 of SmogTour and didn't have any teams I wanted to use to I just built something in 2 minutes. Since GBro and Nihi are broken I was able to clutch 3 points so that was cool. I have been trying out Memento Screens Latios for a while now, with support from other mons namely Memento Dugtrio, Whimsicott, Uxie. I just put Zoroark cause it seemed fun. So after realizingthat team was trash but still wanting to annoy everyone on ladder with gbro, I decided to built this new one:
I started with this little guy cause yeah. I honestly don't understand why is still not banned. After receiving a couple of insults in chat I am pretty confident a lot of people feel the same way lol
I just need him to scarf memento something, if he does literally anything else besides that, then that's a huge w. On the real this mon has some cool synergy with gbro, since it baits Pult, Weavile and Bisharp. Also in practice no one trying to let gbro get free set up, so they stay in 99% of the time. The original zoroark was dark pulse flame, but flame doen't kill weavile, bisharp nor even ferrothorn; dark pulse also has a roll of 99% on pult so that's fun. Knock off + Low Kick allows you to always ohko all 3 of them. Trick last cause there's literally nothing else you want and is also fun to trick a pex.
I like Kartana, that's it. I thought timid wasn't funny enough so I added aerial ace.
The biggest problem with screens latios was not being able to get a twave on torn clicking uturn or taunt; bisharp denying memento didn't help either. So Pult gets screens + twave so it almost always (unless it misses) gets a twave on torn to make it easier for kart (and for hax ofc). Curse allows you to go to your set up mon without them taking chip. Cursed Body is for the funnies, is nice to disable a scarf fini moonblast, or a lando eq.
Since I have aerial ace kartana might as well use something that likes buzzwole gone, so garchomp it is. I like yache, but I ain't super weavile weak, so I rather use Roseli so I don't need to play mindgames against koko, fini, lele, clef.
I've been using mono regis (with blacephalon over regigigas) on 1700ish for a while now, and I really like this mon. And I mean, the team was cheese already, so might as well right? Funnily enough this mon beats a lot of the physical offenses I played against in the 1800ish range, so that's always cool.
How to use the team?
Do they have pult/weavile/bisharp and no lando? Lead Zoroark disguised as Gbro. In any other case lead Pult and click screens. Well if you lead pult vs torn you get the twave first ofc. What else? I have no idea bro just try to give gbro room to set up and profit. Everytime you click a move you gotta say "agency agency" and "ty ou council for letting me win while being worse than my opponent".
btw if your opp has stall just click x and save yourself some time.

Final thoughts:
Memento is cool. Zoroark sucks but i do think it needs a bit more exploration on ho builds.
Kartana is cool. Some many games wouldve been easier with pads > lo, but you need lo to actually ko buzzwole.
Roseli garchomp is cool too. I didn't mention it in the replays but you can see it in a few of them.
Screens Pult > Screen eleki at least atm cause is less telegraphed
Ban quick claw/draw, like actually that's no joke.
The Code Geass nicks make the team 100 times better.
