Tsareena @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sweet Veil
Level: 50
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Trop Kick
- High Jump Kick
- Play Rough
- U-turn
The newest mon, actually over my favorite, Alomomola. She wasn't routinely working out, not that this has done anything yet. EVs are max Atk and outspeed Honchkrow, which I have seen(it swept me easy once w/ moxie.) It should fear Queenly Majesty, and not use Sucker Punch. Trop Kick goes w/ AV, usual other moves I'd guess. Though it's ofc an unusual mon, like all these. Steel Tera because I had that or Dark for HA ones, and I wanted HA for Hippo. A grass tera wouldn't be great, as Spore is then not used, and w/ HA Tsareena can eat any # of Spores.
Orthworm @ Leftovers
Ability: Earth Eater
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Def / 12 Spe
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Iron Defense
- Metal Burst
- Stealth Rock
I might go back to an attack that uses Atk, so this is a 31 IV and neutral Atk nature. One of the 2 big stars on my team that give me some small hope. Kinda crap vs. most special stuff, only can hope it survives to use Metal Burst. But amazing vs. phys things, esp. if they rely on ground to hit steels like Chomp and Baxcalibur. Usually my best vs. Meowscarada, actually able to switch in. SR because people switch a lot on me, and sometimes there's time to set. EVs creep Dirge...I guess to set SR only now that I don't have EQ. Tera Poison is 1 less weakness and resists fighting. Psychic is mainly just Espathra, though I'm weak to those...
Talonflame @ Sharp Beak
Ability: Gale Wings
Level: 50
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 108 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SpD / 140 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Brave Bird
- Flare Blitz
- Will-O-Wisp
- Roost
This is here for Annihilape, though I do have Honchkrow. But I needed fire, more so w/ tera fire Alomomola gone. EVs for outspeeding Maushold, max Atk, rest in bulk. Will-o-Wisp seems good to me, Annihilape may well tera away from the flyig weakness(and probably not to fire.) Steel tera takes rock moves. Gets the odd Gallade, I used to lose to the, every time.
Electrode @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Soundproof
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 20 SpA / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
- Discharge
- Foul Play
- Eerie Impulse
- Mirror Coat
I don't know how I came up w/ this. Spe for up to +1 max Gyara, which it likely OHKOs w/ the SpA. Rest in buk. Only mon to outspeed Pult naturally, that's something. They also hate Foul Play even w/o dark tera. Eerie Impulse to try to rack up SR damage, also not that many moves really. Mirror Coat is one of my favorites. This hasn't been too bad, but I'm not neariy as keen on it as Orthworm and Mismagius.
Mismagius @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 188 HP / 4 Def / 60 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Trick
- Dazzling Gleam
- Thunderbolt
This and Orthworm are my most brought, and best. Spe for up to Scarf Annihilpe, though I may actually have them covered for once, so that could change. EVs also live Timid Gholdengo Shadow Ball, even w/o teraing. Trick has been really good generally, for Clodsire, Toxapex, Corv, Garganacl, etc. T-bolt cause false STAB, Dazzling Gleam for Hydreigon. SpA does something too. I like this better than Gengar, though I suppose Gholdengo may be the relevant alternaive. Idk, I always wanted to use Mismagius, she's faster than Gholdengo anyways.
Honchkrow @ Life Orb
Ability: Insomnia
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 60 HP / 244 Atk / 28 Def / 12 SpD / 164 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Brave Bird
- Dark Pulse
- Sucker Punch
- Thunder Wave
EVs are meant to take +1 Annihilape Drain Punch. Brave Bird can ohko even boosted ones. Dark Pulse is to hit Skeledirge better, the flinch is marginally useful too. Sucker Punch goes well w/ the high Atk stat and tera, T-Wave for my only real source of hax. Insomnia not Moxie was chosen for Hippo and Loom, may be flexible if Tsareena stays on the team, though that isn't guaranteed so I'll keep for now. This is ok, but it's not fast and is still fairly frail w/ recoil.
Doing absolutely terrible. Possibly cause of largely unused mons, but even at lower than 150k I see bog standard plenty. I wouldn't do better w/ that imo. This is maybe as good(well, bad) as it gets for me. Do not like Garganacl. Rain tera Palafin wrecked me. Not sure what people are doing there, maybe Water Absorb Clodsire, idk. Surprise special sets are the worst, same w/ mixed. This can be things like Mence, or Talonflame. Orthworm can't take them mixed/special at all. Meowscarada is irritating, and I hate Ceruledge. Idk, most stuff is a problem, hard to remember specific extreme examples. I could really use help, or I think I will come in at last place. Not that this is as bad as it's ever been, but it feels that way somehow.
