Clefable is useful against dragons and does a great job if used correctly during the game.

tapu koko is the star of this team. Its speed and strength have an interesting destructive power after the loss of electrical immunity.

I put dragonite because it is bulky and one of my favorite pokemons. I put water-type strike for heatran and fire-type for grass and steel.

landorus is more for having a defensive wall.

heatran is to have a way to deal with special pokemons

ferro helps heatran not get so overwhelmed

Hi cool team but there is a few changes I can suggest that might help

1. I think instead of specs you should make tapu koko calm mind this gives you more opportunities to cleave through Pokémon such as :landorus-therian: slowly chipping it down. Also it allows koko to retain its defensive utility vs Pokémon like :zapdos: and :tornadus-therian:

Tapu Koko @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Electric Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Thunderbolt
- Dazzling Gleam
- Roost


2. I would change dragonite to a dragon dance set this is the standard bulky dragon dance set
Dragonite @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 248 HP / 24 Atk / 68 Def / 8 SpD / 160 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Earthquake
- Dual Wingbeat
- Roost

The 248 hp and 160 speed evs allow dragonite to outspeed adamant :weavile: at +1 and the 68 def eves allow it tank a unboosted jolly weavile ice shard after rocks. The 8 spdef 8evs prevent it from being 2koed by specs :blacephalon: shadow ball.

3. Here is a more standard lando spread.

Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 240 SpD / 16 Spe
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- U-turn
- Defog
The 16 speed evs allow it to outrun adamant :tyranitar:

4. Clef can be trick barb to help chip down steels that would like to switch into it like :Melmetal: , :heatran: and :ferrothorn:.


Clefable @ Sticky Barb
Ability: Magic Guard
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Trick
- Thunder Wave
- Soft-Boiled


5. You can just make heatran a rocks specially defensive set
Heatran @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 236 SpD / 20 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Calm Nature
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock

6. I actually opt for :kartana: as last it keeps the double steel thing going and offers additional speed control and insurance vs faster mons like scarf :tapu lele: and :dragapult:

Here’s the new paste happy laddering !
