First team that I built on my own. Been able to get right under 1500 on DOU Ladder with it and looking for criticisms to help make it better. I'll include a little blurb about why i chose these pokemon and movesets.
Chi-yu is mainly here to drop the sp. def. of pokemon so that walking wake or heatran can try and secure big knockouts, this with sun makes for the ability to one shot quite a bit from my experience. Sash helps it so that i can withdraw the mon and get another s. def. drop if needed in the late game.
Walking wake i chose as i needed water coverage and it also is able to hit other mons like Goodra-H for super effective damage. I chose choice specs and have been able to see success with it. Flamethrower is there as coverage against grass types.
Tornadus is here for speed control and sun setup. I chose covert cloak to help pair more favorably against rillaboom and iron hands, to try and stop fakeout and secure the tailwind or sunny day. I put sludge bomb as a coverage move against fairy types and tera grass heatran.
Heatran is here just due to the survivability and damage that i have been able to get with it. I chose leftovers so that I could run protect and have some more sustainability on the field.
Iron hands I have mainly used to take out water and flying mon. I chose my moveset so that I can still go for a super effective hit against a mon like Landorus who Iron hands would usually struggle against.
Flutter mane is here just due to how powerful the mon feels. Wanted it to be fairly bulky while still able to secure big damage from dazzling gleam and tera fairy. Sun also helps if I need to withdraw flutter, with sun I can reactivate my protosynthesis.
