Description + Sets

Jewelode @ Leftovers
Ability: Neutralizing Gas
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

Jolly Nature
- Blaze Kick
- Roost
- Earthquake
- Dragon Dance


Thanks to Neutralizing Gas and a Rock/Fairy typing, Jewelode hard counters Obstagoon and Tornadus, and said offensive typing is very hard for them to switch into even if this Pokemon's power isn't the most impressive. Their only resist to Fairy OR Rock is...Kartana. Yeah. You're able to outspeed a good portion of their team and 2HKO everything, and this gives Jewelode some especially potent flexibility as a potential wincon or breaker in this matchup.

Another Pokemon that abuses ability stopping, Draxplosion has Mold Breaker for Levitate and Thick Fat and sets up on Kartana. Neither of these two can switch in too well to Lele or Mamoswine but this is meant to be more of a hyper offense core that's capable of overwhelming the two of them thanks to high Speed and power. It may not be too difficult to set up thanks to how you beat Kartana and don't really do too badly against Rotom either.

Timid Nature

- Focus Blast
- Wish
- Parting Shot / Protect

Plachineal soaks up hits from the majority of the hits from the team, tanking any physical hits and some special hits. Knock Off gets rid of Life Orbs and Choice Specs, reducing damage from Mamoswine and Tapu Lele. Body Press helps stop Obstagoon and Kartana from sweeping. Diamarine helps deal with Rotom-Wash and Tornadus-Therian, which heavily pressure Plachineal, by virtue of its type and ability. Wish supports Plachineal, and Parting Shot also helps Plachineal tank hits better. Protect can be used if it seems more important for Diamarine to recover.

Description: A physically-oriented pseudo-legendary with a balanced stat spread and setup potential, but a critical weakness to bulky Grounds and Earthquake in general.

Sets + Explanation

Olmiath @ Focus Sash
Ability: Dazzling
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Memento
- Aura Sphere
- [Free slot, I’d probably go with Taunt for use as a suicide lead]

Rampyre @ Air Balloon
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Wild Charge
- Swords Dance
- Morning Sun


Rampyre has an incredible matchup here, but it needs some support to get going. Lead with Olmiath.

vs Mamoswine/Obstagoon

Click Aura Sphere to OHKO any time either mon comes in, you don’t want Goon getting off a Bulk Up or Mamo getting up Rocks.

vs Tornadus

If they lead with this or switch in before you have Rocks up, use Stealth Rock first. If they Defog after you set Rocks, just keep setting it again and again until they click a different move, which they inevitably will once they run out of Defog PP. Always Memento once you have Rocks on the field, that way Defog/U-Turn fails.

vs Tapu Lele/Rotom

If they lead with either or switch in to one of them before you have Rocks up, use Stealth Rock first. Always Memento if you have Rocks up.

vs Kartana

Click Rocks if you don’t have them up, and then Memento. Smart Strike is a 2HKO but if you die to Smart Strike, they’re locked in and still work as setup fodder.

Unless you fuck up horribly, when Olmiath goes down, you will always have Stealth Rocks up on the opponents’ side of the field and no hazards on your own side. The opposing Pokemon will always have -2 Atk and SpA, unless it is a +1 Smart Strike-locked Kartana. From here, go into Rampyre and always click Swords Dance. The most damage you can take while setting up is 48.1% from -2 Lele Psychic. After this:

vs Mamoswine

OHKO with +2 Flare Blitz. On the off chance that you took over 45% from Lele Psychic or Goon Facade while setting up Swords Dance, you’re outside of Psychic Terrain, and Kartana is still alive, a very high roll Ice Shard into a very high roll with Kart Sacred Sword will be enough to take you down. In this situation, you do have the option to take a 50/50 and click Morning Sun on their Ice Shard, though this isn’t really worth risking unless they get a max roll with Lele, and even then I wouldn’t recommend it since you still have good odds of surviving Shard + Sword.

vs Tornadus

If Rotom is alive, click Morning Dance and then Swords Dance before killing it. If Kartana is alive, Morning Sun to full HP before killing it. If both are alive, click Morning Sun, then Swords Dance, then Morning Sun to full. If neither are alive, just tank the hit and nuke it.

vs Obstagoon/Tapu Lele

OHKO with Flare Blitz.

vs Kartana

Morning Sun up on this mon if necessary to survive Sacred Sword + Ice Shard + Hurricane (85% for all 3, 70% for SS + Hurricane, 55% for SS + Shard). If you have enough health, OHKO with Flare Blitz.

vs Rotom

+2 Wild Charge OHKOes after Rocks, and if they try to Defog with Tornadus you’re free to get +4 to ensure you still OHKO.

Description: Not so passive Special wall with horrendous physical bulk, and not so great utility outside of Toxic, Toxic Spikes and Knock Off.

Fakemon 2:
Fakemon Name: Cablate (Cable+Karate)
Typing: Fighting-Electric
Abilities: Levitate
Stats: 70-120-105-70-45-110
Movepool: Swords Dance, Body Slam, Low Kick, Agility, Focus Energy, Reversal, Endure, Baton Pass, Encore, Trick, Superpower, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Stone Edge, Reflect, Counter, Brick Break, Drain Punch, Plasma Fists, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Volt Switch, Thunder Punch, Nuzzle, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Universal TMs, Work Up, High Jump Kick

Description: Fast physical Attacker/ Set-Up Sweeper

Sets+Explanation

Tenebrin @ Black Sludge
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
-Knock Off
-Slack Off
-Taunt
-Toxic

Cablate @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
-Swords Dance
-Horn Leech
-High Jump Kick
-Plasma Fists

Here, Cablate does all the work. Always lead with Cablate. If it leads with anything other than Tapu Lele, stay. Use Close Combat on Mamoswine, Kartana (who will do a lot but not kill) and Obstagoon, and Plasma Fists on Tornadus. It one-shots them all. If it goes on Rotom , use Swords Dance, then Horn Leech, which will one-shot. If Lele, switch to Tenebrin and either Knock Offor Slack Off.

Click Aura Sphere to OHKO any time either mon comes in, you don’t want Goon getting off a Bulk Up or Mamo getting up Rocks.

vs Tornadus

If they lead with this or switch in before you have Rocks up, use Stealth Rock first. If they Defog after you set Rocks, just keep setting it again and again until they click a different move, which they inevitably will once they run out of Defog PP. Always Memento once you have Rocks on the field, that way Defog/U-Turn fails.

vs Tapu Lele/Rotom

If they lead with either or switch in to one of them before you have Rocks up, use Stealth Rock first. Always Memento if you have Rocks up.

vs Kartana

Click Rocks if you don’t have them up, and then Memento. Smart Strike is a 2HKO but if you die to Smart Strike, they’re locked in and still work as setup fodder.

Unless you fuck up horribly, when Olmiath goes down, you will always have Stealth Rocks up on the opponents’ side of the field and no hazards on your own side. The opposing Pokemon will always have -2 Atk and SpA, unless it is a +1 Smart Strike-locked Kartana. From here, go into Rampyre and always click Swords Dance. The most damage you can take while setting up is 48.1% from -2 Lele Psychic. After this:

vs Mamoswine

OHKO with +2 Flare Blitz. On the off chance that you took over 45% from Lele Psychic or Goon Facade while setting up Swords Dance, you’re outside of Psychic Terrain, and Kartana is still alive, a very high roll Ice Shard into a very high roll with Kart Sacred Sword will be enough to take you down. In this situation, you do have the option to take a 50/50 and click Morning Sun on their Ice Shard, though this isn’t really worth risking unless they get a max roll with Lele, and even then I wouldn’t recommend it since you still have good odds of surviving Shard + Sword.

vs Tornadus

If Rotom is alive, click Morning Dance and then Swords Dance before killing it. If Kartana is alive, Morning Sun to full HP before killing it. If both are alive, click Morning Sun, then Swords Dance, then Morning Sun to full. If neither are alive, just tank the hit and nuke it.

vs Obstagoon/Tapu Lele

OHKO with Flare Blitz.

vs Kartana

Morning Sun up on this mon if necessary to survive Sacred Sword + Ice Shard + Hurricane (85% for all 3, 70% for SS + Hurricane, 55% for SS + Shard). If you have enough health, OHKO with Flare Blitz.

vs Rotom

+2 Wild Charge OHKOes after Rocks, and if they try to Defog with Tornadus you’re free to get +4 to ensure you still OHKO.

Fakemon 1:

Fakemon Name: Tenebrin (Toxin+Tenebris)
Typing: Dark-Poison
Ability: Rough Skin
Stats: 90-100-35-60-175-35
Movepool: Universal TMs+ Low Kick, Earthquake, Sludge Bomb, Endure, Crunch, Uproar, Taunt, Skill Swap, Bulk Up, Toxic Spikes, Poison Jab, Nasty Plot, Sludge Wave, Work Up, Venom Drench, Darkest Lariat, Body Press, Mega Punch, Pin Missile, Screech, Reflect, Thief, Scary Face, Beat Up, Revenge, Fake Tears, Payback, Cross Poison, Venoshock, Snarl, Brutal Swipe, Metal Claws, Crush Claws, Hone Claws, Slash, Roar, Horn Leech, Megahorn, Acid, Poison Sting, Fling, Knock Off, Pursuit, Switcheroo, Topsy-Turvy, Pin Missile, Steamroller, Sludge Bomb, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Slack Off

Description: Not so passive Special wall with horrendous physical bulk, and not so great utility outside of Toxic, Toxic Spikes and Knock Off.

Fakemon 2:
Fakemon Name: Cablate (Cable+Karate)
Typing: Fighting-Electric
Abilities: Levitate
Stats: 70-120-105-70-45-110
Movepool: Swords Dance, Body Slam, Low Kick, Agility, Focus Energy, Reversal, Endure, Baton Pass, Encore, Trick, Superpower, Bulk Up, Close Combat, Aura Sphere, Focus Blast, Stone Edge, Reflect, Counter, Brick Break, Drain Punch, Plasma Fists, Thunderbolt, Thunder, Volt Switch, Thunder Punch, Nuzzle, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Universal TMs, Work Up, High Jump Kick

Description: Fast physical Attacker/ Set-Up Sweeper

Sets+Explanation

Tenebrin @ Black Sludge
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 252 Def / 252 HP / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
-Knock Off
-Slack Off
-Taunt
-Toxic

Cablate @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
-Swords Dance
-Horn Leech
-High Jump Kick
-Plasma Fists

Here, Cablate does all the work. Always lead with Cablate. If it leads with anything other than Tapu Lele, stay. Use Close Combat on Mamoswine, Kartana (who will do a lot but not kill) and Obstagoon, and Plasma Fists on Tornadus. It one-shots them all. If it goes on Rotom , use Swords Dance, then Horn Leech, which will one-shot. If Lele, switch to Tenebrin and either Knock Offor Slack Off.

Also a couple of announcements:

• Custom elements can now be distributed to the Fakemon you make! So far, we only have 3 moves and 1 ability, but as time moves on and we get more custom elements, this rule will be very helpful!
• Also, some of the movepools of our Fakemon are rather barren. If you sub a Fakemon with a small amount of moves, I will ask you to add more moves. If you need inspiration on how to fill up you movepools, take a look at the TRs/TMs and see which ones fit competitively and flavor-wise. Additionally, Petuuuhhh and DuoM2 created this spreadsheet that has the "average" learnsets of each type. It lists the moves that at least 30% of all the Pokemon of each type learn, so you can also use that as inspiration (thanks to Magmajudis for pointing out this issue and DuoM2 for bringing up the spreadsheet).
• After Slate 7 (next slate), we will be taking a break in order to 1) update the movepools of some of our Fakemon and 2) playtest for and look for anything potentially broken or underpowered.

Speaking of Slate 7, here's the team for next slate! I'll do this from now on so that you all have time to prepare submissions. Don't sub yet, though!

Alright that's all from me. Have a good day!

Slate 7:
Garchomp Stall
By: Baloor

Click the sprites for the Pokepaste!​

Most of our teams have been more offensively oriented lately, so we're gonna switch it up this time with a (semi) stall team! This team features most of the bulky threats this genereation (and Garchomp).
A couple reminders: the custom elements we introduced in slate 5 are legal, so use those if you want. Also, make sure your subs have an adequate amount of moves so they don't look weird in the teambuilder. This is gonna be our last slate before the big break, so get in those subs while you can! Submissions will close Saturday, February 6th. Have fun!

Movepool: Flash Cannon, Thunderbolt, Dark Pulse, Nasty Plot, Sludge Bomb, Sludge Wave, Discharge, Magnet Rise, Iron Defense, Metal Sound, Poison Gas, Toxic, all universal TMs EXCEPT FOR REST

Sets + Explanation

Lemotic @ Leftovers
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Petal Blizzard
- Knock Off

Chemiclysm @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flash Cannon
- Thunderbolt
- Shadow Ball
- Nasty Plot


Adaptability is good. Even with a somewhat unimpressive base 114 Attack, Lemotic is capable of 2HKOing basically everything that doesn't resist its STAB combination, which includes just about everything on this team - Toxapex, Blissey, Clefable, et cetera. You also come in somewhat safely on Garchomp, although a +2 Scale Shot specifically is somewhat scary if it gets too many hits. It's more likely than not that it doesn't get too many, though. You are hard countered by Corviknight, though, with Knock Off only really being there so you can still make progress against it and beat Shed Shell in matchups where it runs it.

This is where Chemiclysm comes in. This is specifically designed to screw over Corviknight; it barely OHKOs the given spread at +2, it dodges the 4HKO from Body Press even without taking in Leftovers, and it barely outspeeds it as well. Trapping + Setup is very scary so I really don't want this thing to have any way of healing itself aside from items, especially since that would let it break even Blissey with ease (+6 Flash Cannon 2HKOs iirc). You do also stonewall Toxapex and scare most other mons to some extent barring Galarian Slowking which is very nice.

Fakemon 1 Name: Mastodent
Typing: Ground / Steel
Ability: Hustle / Klutz
Stats: 95 / 115 / 110 / 60 / 80 / 55 [BST: 515]
Moves: Ancient Power, Avalanche, Bite, Block, Body Press, Body Slam, Bulldoze, Counter, Crunch, Defense Curl, Dig, Drill Run, Earth Power, Earthquake, Endeavor, Endure, Fissure, Flash Cannon, Gravity, Growl, Headbutt, Heavy Slam, High Horsepower, Hone Claws, Horn Attack, Horn Drill, Ice Shard, Iron Defense, Iron Head, Iron Tail, Knock Off, Mud-Slap, Roar, Rock Slide, Rock Smash, Rock Tomb, Rollout, Sandstorm, Stealth Rock, Steel Beam, Stomping Tantrum, Strength, Superpower, Switcheroo, Tackle, Take Down

An hard-hitting Hustle breaker that can make good use of Hone Claws or Gravity to get around the accuracy drop. Also has Klutz + Switcheroo shenanigans.


Fakemon 2 Name: Gharialpe
Typing: Water / Ice
Ability: Intimidate / Rough Skin / Strong Jaw
Stats: 111 / 105 / 125 / 50 / 85 / 29 [BST: 505]
Moves: Aerial Ace, Aqua Jet, Aqua Tail, Assurance, Avalanche, Bite, Blizzard, Body Press, Body Slam, Bulk Up, Confide, Crunch, Curse, Cut, Detect, Dive, Dragon Claw, Dragon Dance, Dragon Pulse, Dragon Tail, Embargo, Encore, Flail, Focus Energy, Freeze Dry, Grass Knot, Hail, Haze, Heal Bell, Hone Claws, Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Ice Fang, Icicle Crash, Icicle Spear, Icy Wind, Iron Tail, Leer, Life Dew, Liquidation, Mist, Night Slash, Outrage, Parting Shot, Powder Snow, Psychic Fangs, Rain Dance, Refresh, Rock Smash, Scary Face, Scratch, Shadow Claw, Slash, Snarl, Spikes, Spite, Surf, Swords Dance, Taunt, Thrash, Thunder Fang, Torment, Triple Axel, Waterfall, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Whirlpool, Wish, Yawn

An attempt at a legitimately good bulky Ice, with Intimidate and Parting Shot giving it some really nice utility. Its stupidly high bulk is balanced out by its poor defensive typing, and its recovery being limited to Wish and Life Dew.

Break

Mastodent @ Life Orb
Ability: Hustle
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Gravity
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Ice Shard

Gharialpe @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Icicle Crash
- Wish
- Heal Bell
- Parting Shot

If Mastodent gets a Gravity off, it just kills things until it ends or its health is low enough that it has to switch. Gharialpe easily tanks hits from anything on their team and can keep itself and Mastodent healthy with Wish and Heal Bell, with Wish + Shot ensuring a safe switchin and easy Gravity with Mastodent. Be sure to Icicle Crash into Chomp any time it’s in against Gharialpe and be conscious of your health with Mastodent (make sure you don’t accidentally kill yourself or put yourself in Rocks range with Life Orb + Helmet + Rough Skin chip), and you should win without much issue.
