Hello everybody , planning on doing this finally since i have some free time now , so lets start shall we c:
First off id like to say a huge thank you to everyone , this has been a very fun tournament for me be it due to the tier , new friends made and general atmosphere of the tour. Hopefully we can replicate the same and more such fun tours in the future :]
Here are some of the teams / sets that i enjoyed the most this pl :

Set

Armaldo @ Custap Berry
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Atk / 100 Def / 120 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance / Earthquake
- Endure
- Rock Blast
- X-Scissor

probably my favourite creation that i have made this entire tour. Never did i think scrolling through builder would lead up to the reign that it has inflicted upon the tier. This mon is particularly good in the meta rn , because it punishes the Big3Electrics ( Zapdos , Raikou , Jolteon) while also niftily checking other notable powerhouses like Ambipom , Dragonite , Cresselia , Umbreon , Alakazam , Celebi ,Weavile , Aero (yes you can win the 1v1 by enduring t1 to scout for band edge), and Snorlax. Very easy pokemon to splash on teams from my experience , since most teams usually have a water / rotom / steel check already. Current ev spread lets you tank a specs celebi leaf storm iirc and band outrage from dnite.

Set

Staraptor @ Choice Band
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Giga Impact
- Fly
- Close Combat
- Brave Bird

A fun mon in my experience , Staraptor seems to be an underwhelming threat to most teams. Scarf can beat Weavile , Infernape , Ambipom , Alakazam and more , while band can unexpectedly nuke zapdos. Can be used to soft check a lot of the meta right now with intimidate and such , and its a mon with untapped potential in my eyes.

Set

Breloom @ Life Orb
Ability: Effect Spore
EVs: 76 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Superpower
- Seed Bomb
- Mach Punch
- Bulk Up

Another mon that i had a lot of fun with (Surprise surprise) , Breloom can catch some teams offguard mainly due to it being able to designated role very well ( realiably beating suicune rhyperior hippo snorlax to name a few). Evs can probably be optimised further as well , Superpower right now is a roll to knock out machamp.

Set

Coconut Mall (Mesprit) @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 96 HP / 92 Def / 252 SpD / 68 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Imprison
- Calm Mind
- Psychic
- Rest

Lures cress. Lives shadow ball from specs gar. What more can you possibly ask for ;w;

IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Cannon
- Grass Knot
- Endure
- Ice Beam

One of my favourite teams that i ended up building this pl , mainly because this was the first time i used armaldo. Team definitely has weaknesses ( rotoms ) but i personally find it very fun to use :)

Team + Description

Arcanine @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 120 HP / 252 SpA / 136 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 SpA
- Fire Blast

Armaldo @ Custap Berry
Ability: Battle Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 36 Atk / 100 Def / 120 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Endure
- Rock Blast
- X-Scissor

Jolteon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 2 Atk / 30 Def
- Thunder
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Sadly did not get to use this team more than once , but it has stuck with me for some reason ( i wonder). Arcanine lures and beats rhyperior , armaldo takes care of aforementioned threats , Jolteon for waters and togekiss. Nuff said.

Team + Description

yes , you did see the metagross set correctly. Ev'd to outspeed cress and nuke laxs spefically. Ludicolo is evd to win the 1v1 vs any form of special kingdra. Unfortunate that the one time i used it the kingdra had to be dd :sadface:

Hopefully dpp will receive some more love , for the amount of creative building it offers is often underappreciated. Pm me if youd like any particular team of mine. Remember armaldo has 100% winrate.

Hello I didn’t do so hot in 1v1PL but I did build a bit either for myself or Sustenance so imma drop a few of those below.


Well this is sustenances team but revamped to beat shit better. Honestly, Dragonite is very centralizing and should be suspected/banned in SM. Mega Scizor is really unappreciated in SM, beats a ton of top meta mons but no one uses it for some reason.
Has a little trouble with taunt Mawile but shouldn’t be that hard to beat. Never forget suste didn’t mega against Mamoswine LOL


I built this for suste because James liked bringing serp and other grasses to beat waters so Sap Sipper azu gave him troubles off the bat. Incin kinda takes away that lure but it works I guess.


I built this for nicc and I still think it’s pretty good. Toge doesn’t die to anything I swear to god and kyub lives max attack adamant outrage from band opposing kyubs. Solid team overall.


I think I built this for Cantius, unfortunately lost but the team is overall pretty good, was weak as hell to mimikyu but that’s gone now so it’s better. Sawk evs are for Adamant Outrage from scarf hax.

I got more teams I built for pl but too lazy to post. Hope y’all enjoy and hopefully WC is pretty fun. Also keep the nicknames kek.
