Guidelines
All users are welcome to submit a sample team if they believe it has potential, but must include the following;
- An importable version of the team
- A brief explanation of each Pokemon's role in the team and an overview of how the team works
This team is based around a core of Tapu Koko and Mega-Metagross. These two mons have great offensive synergy and eliminate each other's threats, including Mega-Metagross dealing with Porygon2 while Tapu Koko can take care of Mega-Gyarados. Hydreigon has great synergy with Tapu Koko and Mega-Metagross, providing an essential Ground-type immunity and counter to Mega-Gengar. It also completes a VoltTurn core with Tapu Koko and has great speed control with Choice Scarf. Assault Vest Mamoswine helps to patch up the Fairy-type weakness which Hydreigon introduces, while it can also check Mega-Salamence, switch-in comfortably against opposing Tapu Koko, and pressure Porygon2 with Fissure. The team was lacking some defensive capabilities at this point. Buzzwole was added in as a physical tank and another reliable Porygon2 and Mega-Kangaskhan answer. Still weak to Mega-Salamence, defensive Gyarados was added in, also managing to serve as a soft check to Alolan-Marowak.Tapu Koko @ Focus Sash
