SV OU Cornerstone Smash! Cornerstone Offense!(1907 ELO #17)

[mcribs]

Proof Of Peak

Hi everyone. I present a team that sent me to the 1900s.

Team Breakdown

Ivy Fury (

) (F) @ Cornerstone Mask
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Ivy Cudgel
- Power Whip
- Knock Off

Main star of the team. Great at wallbreaking and punching holes. Why not

though? Simple. It can actually damage flying types, Sturdy is nice for clutching hits, and its STAB combination is very strong. Used Knock Off over Low Kick for hitting

extra hard. Fits well into the offence playstyle, since it doesn't need to last so long, and has to be stopped immeditely due to its strength. Tera Rock does ludicrous damage it any switch in, and does heavy damage to

and

.

usually doesn't run Teras for

, so it gets blasted with +2 Power Whip or Ivy Cudgel. Pinkacross suggested Adamant to be used for the extra power, like ohkoing offensive

, and i do not regret that change at all. In addition, its great against sticky webs, cuz

and

crumple to ivy cudgel.

Lord's Gambit (

) @ Air Balloon
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Swords Dance
- Low Kick
- Iron Head

is used for its endgame sweeps, and general revenge killing with Sucker Punch. Low Kick is used to stop opposing

and

quickly, leaving more Health for other teammates to manage bigger threats. Tera Fire is used to have a burn immunity, and resist Fairies like

. Jolly is used to have at worst a speedtie with opposing

, and chunk things like

or

using only 200 Speed. Also helps wear down shared checks with Cornerstone like

. Air Balloon is used to be safer into

, and a free setup against

.

Draconic Anomaly (

) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Hex
- Thunder Wave
- U-turn

is used for speed control, and status spreading abilities, while also still hitting very hard with Hex. Hasty is the nature here, since

carries knock off like 90% of the time, so the MU doesn't really matter. Darts is nice even with little investment, since it can chip

or

enough to force some healing. Thunder Wave is best for this set, as it helps limit offensive threats like

or

. Tera Ghost is used to turn into a decent breaker with status.

Great Mustache (

) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earth Power
- U-turn
- Taunt

is used to check threats like

and

, and hit back with solid power against things like

. Pretty standard set and EVs, with Tera Water and Rocky Helmet to be a better hit taker. Used to pivot for

and lay hazard chip on the opposing side, making it easier to smash through with

. Taunt is also useful to prevent recovery, meaning it can force a switch, letting it U-turn into

.

Century Tank (

)@ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
- Psyshock
- Sludge Bomb
- Flamethrower
- Ice Beam
The GOAT AND MVP BABY!!! I needed to have a solid mixed wall, though primarily on the special side. I looked for a while, then found a set Shaymin Sky sent. I was skeptical at first, but oh my god this thing can tank anything. It's typing is just so nice for my team, cuz it'll take things like Headlong Rush from

, to Ivy Cudgel from

. It is a absolute tank, with amazing coverage for my team, so hitting not hard isn't too much of an issue.

,

, and

are basically non issues as long as

stays alive. Tera Fairy is just as another insurance against

and to have a solid defensive typing for the rest of the metagame.

Kick To Heaven (

) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Blaze
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 16 HP / 240 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- U-turn
- Will-O-Wisp
- Court Change

is back in action with utility and power. Great at spreading burns and hazard control, letting

preserve Sturdy more effectively. Also great at pivoting with U-turn, and being a solid check to many threats. Found this set from Professor Suicune, which was the perfect set for me. Quick run down, it takes

Wood Hammer, and Earth Power from

. Tera Bug is actually really nice, since not only is it nice to resist attacks from

, but having stab U-turn is neat as well for chunking something hard like

or

.

GAMEPLAN OF THE CENTURY!
I'd say nearly any one of these mons besides

can lead, since a lot of these mons can easily pivot, deal out huge amounts of damage, or both. In case of a

or

, I'd recommend either saving tera fire on

, or spamming Sludge Bomb on

until they get poisoned, or using Thunder Wave from

for some paraflinch cheese, which heavily cripples them. Against

,

, or

,

should at least be in decent shape to at minimum chip them to a good degree. It's best to preserve

as a emergency check to

or something, since it'll definitely wipe that sweeper. And at the end,

can do its thing and sweep.

Love a good ogerpon-cornerstone team this guy rocks :D
I also like your gambit set, unorthodox with no Kowtow but it gets the job done and I love having the coverage.
Here's my edits

The team could stand to be a little more offensive, with ogerpon-c applying a lot of pressure but not having the defensive switch in opportunities that other breakers might have. With the offensive pivot core of all your switchers you could use a little more pressure so you don't end up just u-turning into your own death as they stay in for free. So:
Offensive set instead of bulky set. I find Cinderace is your most important option vs Iron Valiant and as such it kind of needs to be able to actually kill valiant instead of just doing 70% and dying to close combat. I even went with gunk shot instead of wisp as I felt wisp was often a waste of a turn. Kept court change though.
-> Now this might not seem like an offensive change but it is. Assault Vest Slowking is a great lure for a lot of things and a way sturdier check to special attackers like Raging Bolt and Darkrai than tera grass primarina. Psyshock ignores calm mind boosts, sludge bomb hits pretty hard and I subbed in ice beam to mess with gliscor.
