DYNAMITE
Hello smogon users,today I'm back with my 2nd rmt and as you can see by the name it is inspired by BTS song known as DYNAMITE
Now before i speak about the team i am NOT a bts fan,this song is just too catchy so I had to make a team with this song, enjoy me blabbering about the build process etc :].
Building Process:
So as you can see the core was dragapult + zarude,i really like this core as it has too wonderful mons and on top of that they both can help each other out with pult being weak to ghost but when you have zarude you can always switch in on a shadow ball while taking a not too little but not too much amount (depending on the mon ofc)
I noticed a couple problems with the core, one its weak to kyurem two weak to fairy and the 2 mons dont really get moves that threaten fairies,you could say specs pult destroys clef but lets be real spdef clef is becoming more common (due to this mon ) which makes it even more of a pain to fight because there's always that high chance that your shadow ball doesn't do enough and all it does is allow your opponent to soft boiled up,to solve this cores problem I added scizor the newly added OU mon that came from UU (Congrats scizor) I added this mon because it covers my ice and fairy weakness. Now that I have my kyurem switch in/force switcher I wanted to add another mon that kyurem doesnt like also known as clefable,clefable I used as my stealth rocker and t waver to paralyze threats such as kyurem weavile etc. I really like the idea of adding clef because I have two mons weak to kyurem and if I lose my check/counter aka scizor that can be a huge issue. Next,you can't have a decent team without a defogger and the defogger I went with was corviknight,why? Because this mon has immense bulk allowing it to take hits from urishifu and oh boy give this mon rocky helmet and its moistshifus worst nightmare. Next we have speed control I decided to go with zerora because it doesn't add on to a 2nd poison weakness but if I were to add tapu koko that would give me 3 poison weaknesses not only that but zerora outspeeds MULTIPLE threats/problems like kyurem and weavile and opposing dragapults. Last but not least we add bulk, i didnt know would look good so I added tapu fini (do not worry I realized later on this adds on to my poison problem and kyurem problem) I'm not too sure why I added fini since this was a couple weeks ago that I made this team but at the time i think I added it as a weavile switch in which makes sense due to my ice weakness problem of 2 mons. ( Near the end of the rmt you will see why I listed 7 mons,zarude,pult,clef,sciz,zera,corv and fini.)

Speed control,already explained :) but I'll explain further even tho I stated in team building process, this mon is used to keep the speed and threaten weavile with a close combat.
QUESTIONS YOURE PROB ASKING:
1. Why did I mention fini?
I mentioned fini because I have made several variants of the team with different moves and over time I have made edits or new teams,fini was ORGINALLY in clefables place but then freeze dry became a problem. (Dw I will leave pokepaste)
2. Why mention weavile so much? I mentioned weavile a lot because I have 2 mons weak to it and yes i do know I have 2 mons faster than it so I shouldn't worry,right? Long story short I got 4 games in a row vs scarf weavile before OLT..
Anyway Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this,i hope you like the team and If you have suggestions pls leave them down below!
