Introduction
During OLT, it became apparent that webs HO was extremely dangerous. I decided to build my own skill less webs HO, and while this team is quite different from my OLT team, it retains the spirit and most of the mons and sets. This team is built to smack around fatter teams with its various wallbreakers yet retains a good offense matchup.
The Webs
Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stun Spore
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Moonblast
- Sticky Web
Ribombee is my favorite webs setter as it outspeeds taunters except koko and throws out paralysis. Not much to say about this set except that some bads will stay in with torn on ribombee so it gets one of the most threatening mons to this team out of the way immediately if you stun spore it. Hp fire chips ferrothorn for a potential magearna sweep. Generally lead ribombee unless you see tran koko excadrill or pex, in which case lead chomp, serp vs pex, or another mon that you think would be a better lead.
The Rocks
Garchomp @ Focus Sash
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Dragon Claw
- Stealth Rock
- Swords Dance
Garchomp is here to reliably setup stealth rocks against almost every team and especially get them up vs shedinja stall. SD to get rocks up vs stall and force out torn and zapdos. Dragon claw is nice for zygarde as coil ddance is problematic for the team. Why Garchomp instead of Excadrill or lando? Quite a few reasons actually. A lot of teams try to counterlead ribombee with tran and garchomp makes a great tran switchin, and if serp is ever forced out by tran chomp is here to not have to sack a mon. Teams often send in mons they need to wall the rest of my team that they would hesitate to vs explosion lando or moldy drill such as: torn, zapdos, rotom wash, and celesteela. Chip on those mons is invaluable to the rest of the team, especially pinsir. Garchomp also invites bulu in which gives me a free switch to pinsir. Garchomp is also much cooler than lando.
The Untouchable Snake
Serperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leech Seed
- Leaf Storm
- Substitute
- Hidden Power [Fire]
Serperior is insanely tough to deal with even more so on webs. It is a great wincon vs quite a few stalls, balance as long as you dont let it get statused, and even offense. No hp investment is preferable to recover a higher % of hp which you need to rely on in order to beat tran and unaware clef. Hard into this mon if the opponent is likely going to defog unless they have torn and rain or z torn. +1 evasion subseed serp is almost impossible to beat as it usually can just sub until the opponent misses. Don't be afraid of going into this mon on torn zapdos and scarf lando if you predict defog. torn wont hit hurricane through +1 eva but check your opponents battles if you want to be cautious and see if they are z. Serp is also the water resist of the team and while it is never advisable to switch it into ash gren, it means that you can at least beat it. Glare serp is for trash players.
Who Uses That Set???
Kartana @ Normalium Z
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Giga Impact
- Swords Dance
- Leaf Blade
- Sacred Sword
Kartana here is a worldclass sweeper and breaker under webs and this set minimizes its counters. Moltres and Zapdos just die after rocks/ an sd predicting the switch. Torn dies on the switch into z giga if rocks are up and everyone brings in torn on kartana unless they know the set. Skarm, mega latias, and cele are the only kartana counters that wall this set if rocks are up. And those 3 are a lot less common than the static zapdos and torn that are on essentially every team.
Angry Bug
Pinsir-Mega @ Pinsirite
Ability: Hyper Cutter
Happiness: 0
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Frustration
- Quick Attack
- Earthquake
Standard Pinsir nothing special here. Pinsir is nice to beat hawlucha and serp with enough chip which are very big threats to this team. Frustration > return because pinsir looks angry and dittos don't usually run 0 happiness. It's a nice wallbreaker and cleaner with sd quick attack. Just watch out for scarf stone edge lando which has seen a drastic surge in use.
The Ash Gren Counter
Magearna @ Leftovers
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shift Gear
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Calm Mind
Magearna is here to switchin to things while also being capable of sweeping. Ash gren will almost certainly click dpulse to not risk miss. This team has nothing to live any strong ice move at all without magearna. CM lefties is here to to beat acid armor psychic reuni.
Other notes on the team:
Thanks to kartana and magearna this team is strong against mons touted to beat ho such as curse scizor and acid armor reunicles. This team is quite weak to glare, but a well timed sub with serp on a zyg glare can mean game over for the opponent. This team has breached 2000 but I didn't take a pic so choose to believe me or not idc.

here it is https://pokepast.es/eafa9ff642b0dd6e
Ash gren- every ho is weak to ash gren and it can 2hko everything
torn- if they know the team and don't send in torn on kart its hard to deal with
Skarmory/ cele - they can actually beat every mon on the team but magearna and serp 1v1, but you can usually para them with ribombee
toxapex- only tspikes is a threat here because they can lead pex and get it up on literally every mon unless a crit, so it is usually wise to lead serp or pinsir vs tspikes pex.
Rain- Ash gren was already tough to deal with, torn that cant miss hurricanes and uses defog is tough to deal with. pert isnt that bad but kingdra is really hard to deal with.
koko- koko outspeeds everything, scarf is essentially impossible to beat with this team, shuca cant be counterled by chomp, taunt and defog koko is just infuriating as it is entirely unexpected unless taunt screens
otr magearna- this mon destroys pretty much any ho. It kills everything but magearna in 1 hit
torn- if they know the team and don't send in torn on kart its hard to deal with
