Hi, I never play SM but this seems like an easy Genesect 3-0 to me. No item, barely any EVs. 188 EVs remaining.

gg (Genesect)
Ability: Download
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 124 HP / 132 Atk / 64 Def
Hasty Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Iron Head
- Bug Buzz

Bug Buzz OHKOs and goes through Substitute; unboosted Hydro Cannon doesn't kill.

calcs

+1 0 SpA Genesect Bug Buzz vs. 76 HP / 0 SpD Greninja: 450-530 (148 - 174.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
148 SpA Greninja Hydro Cannon vs. 124 HP / 0 SpD Genesect: 199-235 (63.3 - 74.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Iron Head OHKOs, burn just delays it by a turn. Traced Download boosts Atk, but even burn and +1 Hyper Beam wouldn't kill.

calcs

+1 132 Atk Genesect Iron Head vs. 240 HP / 16 Def Gardevoir-Mega: 470-554 (139.4 - 164.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
0 SpA Pixilate Gardevoir-Mega Hyper Beam vs. 124 HP / 0 SpD Genesect: 156-184 (49.6 - 58.5%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO

Tank combination of Fake Out + Z-Move, and kill with Extreme Speed x2.

calcs

60 Atk Zeraora Fake Out vs. 124 HP / 64- Def Genesect: 18-22 (5.7 - 7%) -- possibly the worst move ever
+1 132 Atk Genesect Extreme Speed vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Zeraora: 159-188 (50.1 - 59.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
60 Atk Zeraora Gigavolt Havoc (180 BP) vs. 124 HP / 64- Def Genesect: 246-289 (78.3 - 92%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
168 SpA Zeraora Gigavolt Havoc (185 BP) vs. 124 HP / 0 SpD Genesect: 247-292 (78.6 - 92.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Edit: pqs informed me that Extreme Speed Genesect must be Hasty and Shiny in this gen. Set & calcs have been updated.

garde doesnt mega and traces lightning rod

My B.

Well at least she can't trace this :

Mega-Sceptile

Sceptile-Mega
Mild Nature
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 120 HP / 124 SpA / 252 SpD / 12 Spe
- Frenzy Plant
- Throat Chop
- Energy Ball
- Substitute

Strats

VS Gren :
Mega t1, u one shot, he doesn't. Forced to sub until Petaya, and still doesn't OHKO.

VS Gardevoir:
Sub t1, no mega :
Non-mega will underspeed gardevoir and will be able to leave a sub unless gardevoir clicks hyper beam.
- If gardevoir clicked Hyper beam, Mega Energy ball into Frenzy has a ~90% chance to ko.
- If gardevoir clicked Hyper voice, Mega Sceptile will outspeed, and the sub is up. Throat chop > Energy ball > Frenzy will kill. Add a Throat chop for every calm mind.
- If garde clicked will'o wisp, Throat chop t2 into sub(if it breaks) or energy ball. Frenzy when you can't sub up anymore, it should kill by then.
-If garde clicked CM, forget energy ball. Just Spam Throat chop and sub up until you can't sub up. At this point, frenzy should kill.
The strat only works because sore throat garde can only deal damage to you by first breaking the sub with Hyper beam.

Vs Zeraora :
Hahaa Lightning rod go brrrr

I will be trying something new this week. In addition to the usual submissions, there will be a challenge. The challenge winner will be decided off an objective metric as opposed to a vote based system. Regular submissions and challenge posts shall be separate so please clarify which you plan on doing in your post. I will be holding a poll to see if people like the idea or not.

The challenge this week is: RAMBO. Create a mon that can beat all 3 mons on the team in succession (MLop -> PZ -> MBro) with lowest turn count being the winner. For clarity, both Lopunny and Slowbro will be mega.

Have fun breaking! e: challenge ties will be determined by likes

Spam counter, fake out -> giga doesn’t kill and any move Lopunny chooses does enough damage for counter to kill

252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Fake Out vs. 228 HP / 148+ Def Eviolite Shellos: 58-70 (16.5 - 20%) -- possible 5HKO
252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Giga Impact vs. 228 HP / 148+ Def Eviolite Shellos: 216-255 (61.7 - 72.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

20% + 72.8% = 92.8%
Lowest damage is 146 hp, 146 x 2 = 292, Lop has 271 hp


Trick doesn’t work so spam mirror coat

252+ SpA Adaptability Porygon-Z Hyper Beam vs. 228 HP / 132 SpD Eviolite Shellos: 302-356 (86.2 - 101.7%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

Most damage slowbro can put out is boosting to +4 and attacking twice (else Breloom can just heal off all incoming damage and wait for toxic to kill)

+4 0 SpA Slowbro-Mega Scald vs. 180 HP / 252+ SpD Breloom: 159-187 (51.9 - 61.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
This would have to do 69% to be able to kill even if it got a burn.

Mixed Scarf Virizion

Virizion @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 84 Atk / 252 SpA / 156 Spe
Mild Nature
- Close Combat
- Grass Knot

With 2 moves to spare and some leftover evs, Virizion 3-0s with its pure offensive power


​

Speed with Choice Scarf allows Virizion to outspeed Lopunny-Mega and Scarf Porygon-Z, allowing Virizion to OHKO both with minimal investment, Lopunny's Fake Out does nowhere near enough to be a threat

​

252 Atk Lopunny-Mega Fake Out vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Virizion: 99-117 (30.6 - 36.2%) -- 46.9% chance to 3HKO
84 Atk Virizion Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lopunny-Mega: 272-324 (100.3 - 119.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
0 Atk Virizion Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Porygon-Z: 318-374 (102.2 - 120.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

​

252+ SpA Virizion Grass Knot (100 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Slowbro-Mega: 234-276 (59.3 - 70%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Virizion Grass Knot (100 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ SpD Slowbro-Mega: 156-186 (39.5 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
0 SpA Slowbro-Mega Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Virizion: 43-51 (13.3 - 15.7%) -- possible 7HKO

​

Slowbro can use Calm Mind t1, but this situation results in a win for Virizion 98.4375% of the time with Grass Knot spam. Scald does basically zero, and will not effect the damage output of Grass Knot

edit: I forgot to put the attack evs in the paste whoops ​

Not a rambo post, but here is a mon that beats all 3 mons separately with a 100% reliability :

Introducing...

Choice scarf thundurus

Set

Thundurus (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 220 Atk / 236 SpA / 52 Spe
Lonely Nature
- Superpower
- Thunderbolt

Calcs and explanations

52 Spe evs allows thundurus along with it's item to reach 406 Spe, outspeeding Lopunny-Mega and successfully OHKOing it as follows :
220+ Atk Thundurus Superpower vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Lopunny-Mega: 272-320 (100.3 - 118%) -- guaranteed OHKO
220+ Atk Thundurus Superpower vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Porygon-Z: 346-408 (111.2 - 131.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO
The remaining evs are invested in SpA and barely manage to achieve to get a clean 2HKO on Slowbro-M :
236 SpA Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Slowbro-Mega: 236-278 (59.8 - 70.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
- Minimal damage amount : 236
236 SpA Thundurus Thunderbolt vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ SpD Slowbro-Mega: 158-188 (40.1 - 47.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
- Minimal damage amount : 158
=> 236+158 = 394 = 252 HP Slowbro-Mega's total HPs : guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Slowbro-Mega Scald vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Thundurus on a critical hit: 195-231 (65.2 - 77.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage

(note : the evs were initially 216 Atk / 240 SpA but I changed them to the current spread to warrant an OHKO on 4 Def Lopunny-Mega without changing the Slowbro-Mega matchup)

mach punch? it doesn't get this

Thanks for pointing this out! Not sure why I thought that it did, maybe I saw Vacuum Wave and Bullet Punch at the same time and my brain melded them together... please disregard my previous post then.

A +1 (from Absorb Bulb) Grass Knot out damages Slack Off.
You can Psych Up t2 if they go for a Calm Mind t1.

Slowbro mu is a little confusing. Let me know if I need to clarify anything! This Metagross beats Slowbro 100% of the time.
