Frosmoth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Ice Scales
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 220 HP / 12 Def / 252 SpA / 12 SpD / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Giga Drain
- Tera Blast
- Bug Buzz
Yes, still AV not QD. QD was my go to, I still think it COULD work, over Bug Buzz. Tera is non negotiable. But for now, I really like the immediate SpD buff to craziness, and Fromsoth is relatively slow and powerful, so I don't think she gets enough from QD. Also Bug Buzz still has SOME applications, vs. Psychics, Darks, and subs mainly. It is particularly useful if I switch in on a Bundle that uses sub that turn, as they shouldn't think to switch if they're subbed. Ground tera is wonderful, gets fire and steel types who avoid damage from all other coverage, and also is a minor help vs the new trend of poison tera Ursa BMs(minor cause I should get it anyway, but you never know.) EVs were recently changed, I think I don't need spe for 4 spe 70s, so I went for 0 spe dirge only. I can't recall particular defensive benchmarks well, however I do know no calc is really much better w/ less HP and more SpD. This should be able to live, albeit only occasionally, tera normal Band Espeed form DNite, and takes Wicked Blow or sometimes even Surging Strikes from full. I discovered this mon originally looking for a Bundle counter, it's also intermittently good into Flutter(like if I predict T Wave and tera, hex mane is trashed easy, but if I DON'T predict w/ tera, fire or rock is really effective,) and devastating to BM beasts. Worst issue is this mon is a tera hog, 100%. Probably more so than your basic DNite, or what have you. Still, I'm willing to often commit my tera to run such a nice mon.
Scream Tail @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Protosynthesis
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 244 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def / 4 SpD / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Encore
- Wish
- Play Rough
- Thunder Wave
This is here for Gouging Fire, the sun boost undoes their Atk sun boost, more or less, and water tera to resist it, Walking Wake, and Surging Strikes(that part isn't to do w/ sun.) Helmet seems a great fit, for Urshifus and such. EVs mostly just max def w/ an odd HP and a point in 3 others vs. 2 in one. Encore is another selling point over Cresselia, who can mostly do the rest. Wish is good healing for teammates and even Scream itself often, and wave helps me get more hax. Play Rough is a really good
attack even off low base atk, for Urshifus, DNite, Pao, etc. I have not been disappointed by this mon at all.
Dondozo @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Unaware
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 44 Def / 212 SpD
Impish Nature
- Wave Crash
- Rest
- Curse
- Fissure
Set from the stratdex, but w/ more Def, mainly a nature because I found it wasn't always enough w/ max HP/ SpD. Fairy is for Urshifu and stuff, isn't weak to Pao, or else I'd use ghost. This replaced a very similar Mamo. I really like the base HP for timer stall, when I need to do that. Chesto was suggested, I actually might go back to lefties now that they are free, very tough call. Fissure is becoming my favorite, it isn't reliable, but somehow I hit it often enough. I feel lucky w/ that move. This mon seems pretty good.
Ogerpon-Cornerstone (F) @ Cornerstone Mask
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 50
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 60 HP / 180 Atk / 12 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Horn Leech
- Play Rough
- Knock Off
Put these EVs for when it was Oger h for Scarf Surging Strikes or w/e, still seems valid enough. I don't remember why I wanted this mask, tbh it's what I'm most dubious about, despite it maybe being my most standard xp. I wanted Play Rough for Urshifu SS, and Knock Off for Ghold. This mon isn't brought much, but it does seem ok into oger h, which is the only thing I remember I definitely wanted it for.
Snorlax @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Thick Fat
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 204 HP / 12 Atk / 148 Def / 140 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Body Slam
- Ice Punch
- Heavy Slam
- Fissure
I put this for Garg(the cloak and fissure,) Landog(EVs avoid the 2hko, 2hko back after intimidate unless it's invested in def, just HP dies,) and I guess Flutter Mane(still tanks it ok, Heavy Slam ohkos many.) Again Fissure, I have hit it on the 1st try twice already, and idk that I've even used this much yet. Thick Fat and fairy are chosen to beat up on Chien Pao(or rather, fish for more para w/ body slam.) I was originally gonna go flying, but wanted to make use of this ability, since in theory I'm ok into Gliscor and don't necessarily need Immunity to toxic. The EVs I found randomly by taking out of HP into more defenses, to see what that'd do. Turns out, it IMPROVES calcs, still taking Flutter fine, but also doing that stuff w/ Landog. I didn't calc extensively, and probably forgot a lot if I did. But the 12 Atk EVs are for 244/4 Landog, I figure lots of people know to go for an odd HP stat. It's not a perfect chance to 2hko, but it's very good. 4 evs barely does it, needed 12. Then 4 is leftover, so Spe. I like this mon already.
Noivern @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Level: 50
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 36 HP / 4 Def / 212 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Boomburst
- Focus Blast
- Switcheroo
My old Switcheroo Noivern, for at least 3 ogerpon mask types, and it gets Urshifus kinda(had some steel teras before...) EVs...have been forgotten. I don't recall wat they do, enough SPA for something like Chi YU or Garg, and enough bulk for Chi Yu something on my tera(neutral) type. Infiltrator is for Gliscor mainly, it kinda can maybe get it w/ Boomburst anyways, but this way can Switcheroo subbers, and don't completely give away choice w/ Frisk. Focus Blast is for all the things weak to it, not too sure if I need Flamethrower more for Scizor and Ghold, but this seems like better coverage(fire hits two of the types flying already gets.) Specs are chosen over Scarf so I can do something if keeping them, and because common BE mons outspeed anyway. I really like this mon, the medium base SpA does not stop boosted tera Boomburst from hurting most things. The flinch for added hax is appreciated, sometimes has been only way.
If you take away my bad switch/internet for this causing d/cs, and 1 or 2 misclicks, I'm doing very near breaking even. Well even if you don't take them away, it's about that, just w/ more L than W. I'm still paranoid over Gliscor, easy to get in awkward positions vs it. Like Noivern can't just switch in to mess it up, cause toxic. And it's obviously not an infallible lead, cause flutter. I don't remember what else is bad, certainly I've had to look out for Arcahludon and Landog before. Frosmoth teraing is my main answer to Arch, or if I can para it that's often fine. Mostly I worry if they aren't the right set for what I bring, or they tera flying(fissure spam xd.) I might change Dondozo for Suicune(Sheer Cold doesn't have the same unfortunate immunities, just ice which isn't that many common things that you's use it on in the 1st place.)
