Hello, I’m OceanicGamer, Absols Co-Manager and their star Ubers players, and I will share some of my teams
in a meta game no one will probably play again!
Week 1 (W) Week 2 (L)
Lowkey for this week, I was trying to figure out stuff, but at first glance Specs Kyurem Whire absolutely decimated everything not named Blissey, which Gothitelle is meant to trap and kill. Samurott Hisui is a cheap mon, Arceus Rock as a cleaner, Forretress <3 and Pult for some status spreading which helps Kyurem
Week 3 (W)
Tagging
ilikeeatingcrayons , she LOVES trick room so I decided to give a try. I’d say it’s what you’d expect from a trick room team… itemless hoopa for poltergeist giratina, I had two fast mons bc one is Melo which is broken lmao and palkia looks like a trick room user not scarfer, which actually allowed me to snipe a mega sceptile in my game! Lunala was initially Mega Camerupt, but testing showed that well… Lunala good Mega Can bad :haha:
Week 4 (L) Week 5 (W)
Probably my weirdest team here, first we have the best Pokémon in the format Lunala. Then, we had Skarmory as a Spike setter as well as a standard Pon set. Skarm become Occa after W4 as Ogerpon literally 6-0d me. The next two sets are definitely weird in a way, first AV Hoopa. While it’s not like AV is THAT weird, everyone was using Choice locked variants or OTR, but I wanted to AV it bc all Lunala ran Focus Blast and not Moonblast, so I decided maybe Hoopa could deal with it. So the Palkia set, imma be so honest looking back I had no idea what I was doing but I know it made sense back then so… and scarf Melo to wrap it all up.
Semi-Finals (W)
I think far in a way, this is by far my best team of this PL. Giratina EVd to live a +3 play rough for ogerpon whilst OHKOing back with Poltergeist. Blissey used for beating out Lunala who I expected to come, (crayons is a Lunala glazer), Arceus as a back up sweeper, Cresselia who is itemless and physically bulky, allowing it to check both Melo and Physical variants of Gira. TTar, EVd specifically to survive Modest Focus Blast from Lunala 93.8% of the time after rocks (if you remove the speed EVs from tar and put it in SpDef, FBlast will never KO), and the attack investment is enough for Knock to KO granted Shadow Shield is broken. Finally, Thundurus plays a role as a good lead into Samu as I can Volt into TTar as well as providing yellow button. I am really proud of this team :3
Huge shoutouts to
ilikeeatingcrayons and
Aryecki
Crayons, we both helped each other immensely, so I hope I helped you as much as you helped me. And aryecki, several times a week I would ping you, asking for games, asking for advice, without you man, I don’t think I could’ve done as well as I have done here. Love y’all, and everyone in my team

A lot of improvements could be made, but overall this team performed decently during testing and I got to experiment with some new pokemon i've never tried before! Thats for sure one of the most fun parts of playing 35 pokes, coming up with new ideas and trying out new strategies. hope yall enjoyed reading as much as i enjoyed coming up with this team!
