Introduction:
Hello everyone, it's Balanced Freakmons with another Rate my Team post! This time I bring you a Balanced Hackmons Team. I was in the mood of trolling people these days, so I decided to create this awesome BH team that can be really dangerous if the oponent is not prepared for it (which occurs most of the time).
NOTE ALERT: This is a "just for fun team", nothing too competitive and probably will get banned during next Suspect Test (because of Innards Out), but is still a funny team that I'd like to share. Enjoy :)

Team Analysis:
Meme of 2017 (Slaking) (M) @ Silk Scarf
Ability: Scrappy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Final Gambit
- Extreme Speed
- Fake Out
- Rapid Spin/Whatever other filler
The first pokémon of this troll team is Slaking. I chose Slaking over Regigigas for one reason: It has more HP, reaching 504 (like Giratina :D) for the use of Final Gambit. This is the Ghost-type pokémon killer, with Scrappy baiting pokémon like Gengar for a FakeEspeed kill, and Giratina for a Final Gambit kill. I maximized the EV in HP for obvious reasons and in Attack to get full power with Silk Scarf in order to increase FakeEspeed damage. Rapid Spin is here for cleaning some hazards layed by Giratina, but you can run any other coverage moves if you want.
Pink Blob of Doom (Chansey) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Innards Out
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpA
Lonely Nature
IVs: 0 Def / 0 SpD / 0 Spe
- U-turn
- Shore Up
- Metal Burst
- Defog
Well, like the name says, it's a Pink Blob...of Doom. Send this to the field every time you see that your oponent will attack with a Physical move from a pokémon you think can be very dangerous or crucial for your opponent's strategy. Im talking about Primal Groudon, -ate Ray, Diancie and Kyurem, Regigigas, Psystrike MMY, Kartana, etc...and just click U-turn xD Chansey can act as a pivot with U-turn and bring Slaking for a safe Toxic Orb activation (if you're facing a sweeper and you are sure that your opponent is switching).
Even if your opponent copies any of your Slakings this helps beating them.
When at high HP it can deal with Special sweepers too by using Metal Burst.
Defog cleans hazards if needed.
Meme of 2017 (Slaking) (M) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Teravolt
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Final Gambit
- Extreme Speed
- Fake Out
- Ice Hammer/Bolt Strike/V-create/Stealth Rock/Whatever other filler
Preety much the same thing as the first Slaking, but with some small changes: Safety Googles to prevent Spore spam and Teravolt to beat Dazzling/Queenly Magesty that ruins every priority based team. Ice Hammer is a coverage against Zygarde, but like the other Slaking, you can use whatever coverage you think you need. Final Gambit is used to kill walls like Unaware Audino, or Registeel that can wall the next Slaking, making easier his sweeping job.
Pink Blob of Doom (Chansey) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Innards Out
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpA
Lonely Nature
IVs: 0 Def / 0 SpD / 0 Spe
- U-turn
- Shore Up
- Metal Burst
- Whirlwind
Same thing as the first Chansey. It's a suicide bomb by itself and helps dealing with Sweepers. When at high HP it can deal with Special sweepers too by using Metal Burst. Googles helps dealing with Triage Tail Glow Ray that usually will try to Spore you.
Meme of 2017 (Slaking) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 204 Atk / 60 Def
Adamant Nature
- Spore
- Shift Gear
- Facade
- Knock Off
The third, and last Slaking of the team. This one doesn't run Final Gambit and acts like the late game sweeper most of the times, specially if my Chanseys have already destroyed much of the opponent team. Send Slaking against a wall, or something slower and Spore it. Then just Shift Gear and sweep the rest of the team that is still up. Be careful against -ates and Triage, so it's recommended that you use Chansey against them to get rid of priority users for a clean sweep. Knock Off takes Googles and Leftovers off from walls and OHKO's Gengar at +0. Facade gets the boost from poison and can deal massive damage even at +0 and is almost unstoppable at +2.
Pink Blob of Doom (Chansey) @ Eviolite
Ability: Imposter
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- First Impression
- Metal Burst
- Whirlwind
- Recover
Last but not the least, the final pokémon of my team, and probably the most important one. No, this is not a suicide Chansey (i can't have more xD) but helps me sweeping most of the times by making use of the opponent's set up sweepers (Contrary, Shell Smash, etc), putting a lot of pressure in them and letting me having a safe back up if anything goes wrong with my other pokémon.
Known Threats:
-Special Sweepers: Choice Specs Mega Ray is a powerful threat to my team as i don't have a safe switch in to this monster. As my Chanseys are mostly designed for beating physical pokémon, I kinda depend on my priority Slakings to beat Special attackers.
-Hazards: My team strategy is based on my pokémon HP. So, keeping the field clean is always a must, otherwise Final Gambit doesn't hit in maxium force and Innards Out may don't kill the opponent if I have lost HP to hazards continuously.

Conclusion:
I hope everyone enjoyed reading my RMT, I think i could make a quite enjoyable team to use and I found it works really well against the atual meta full of Groudons and powerful sweepers. By having multiple of the same pokemon it takes advantage of the disguise and surprise factor to confuse your opponents and causing them many doubts during the games.
Any suggestions to make it better, just reply, they are always welcome :)
Thank you for reading ^-^
