Resource Gen 8 1v1 Set Compendium

Pokemon Set :
Cursola @ Custap Berry
Ability: Perish Body
EVs: 248 HP / 128 SpA / 132 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Endure
- Dig
- Ice Beam
- Shadow Ball
EV Explanation:
Cursola is a interesting mon, and i built that set before knowing about the compendium's one. They're pretty similar, but i found the actual set too passive. I made a Cursola without any def invest : it already have a awful defense stat and prefered to beat other threats. With Ice Beam / Shadow Ball / Dig you will one vs a lot of excellent pokemon in the metagame.
Scarf Fini :
128 SpA Cursola Shadow Ball vs. 80 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Fini: 105-124 (34.8 - 41.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
156 SpA Tapu Fini Moonblast vs. 248 HP / 132+ SpD Cursola: 76-90 (23.5 - 27.8%) -- 80.1% chance to 4HKO
-1 128 SpA Cursola Shadow Ball vs. 80 HP / 0 SpD Tapu Fini: 70-84 (23.2 - 27.9%) -- 78.6% chance to 4HKO
You should win with potential spdef + custap.
You have also a good chance to win vs other set (You struggle a bit vs CM though)
252 SpA Togekiss Air Slash vs. 248 HP / 132+ SpD Cursola: 76-91 (23.5 - 28.1%) -- 91.7% chance to 4HKO
With custap, you have 87% of winning the matchup.
You also win vs magnezones, zygarde, a lot of band pokemons (not g-darm tho)
Maybe the Evs aren't perfect, but i think a more offensive cursola should be added

I would like to suggest specs fini. While there are many tapu fini sets not in the comp, I felt this one deserved a mention even if it doesn't get added.
Clam Chowder (Tapu Fini) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Misty Surge/Telepathy
EVs: 152 HP / 252 SpA / 104 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf/Hydro Pump
- Moonblast
- Trick
- Ice Beam/Rest
Trick is for trick. Ice Beam is for AV zygarde (it bulks moonblast). (hydro pump beats AV Metagross but not banded)
152 hp is to live non investment zarude and 2 hits from non adamant metagross.
0 Atk Zarude Power Whip vs. 152 HP / 0 Def Tapu Fini: 270-318 (84.6 - 99.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Metagross Meteor Mash vs. 152 HP / 0 Def Tapu Fini: 135-159 (42.3 - 49.8%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Beats Scarf fini (not calm mind draining kiss sitrus berry)
252+ SpA Tapu Fini Moonblast vs. 152 HP / 104 SpD Tapu Fini: 102-120 (31.9 - 37.6%) -- 89.4% chance to 3HKO (Scarf)
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tapu Fini Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tapu Fini: 163-193 (58 - 68.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO (Specs
Surf beats metagross if they are non AV/Band (hydro pump beats AV Metagross but not banded)
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tapu Fini Hydro Pump vs. 160 HP / 0 SpD Assault Vest Metagross: 174-205 (51 - 60.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Choice Specs Tapu Fini Surf vs. 224 HP / 72 SpD Metagross: 196-232 (54.9 - 64.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
I'm sure the the EV's aren't perfect and I would try to make it better, I'm just currently doing other things so i didn't get to spend as much time as I normally like when making a set comp suggestion. (I'm sure 252+ spa isn't needed, and 104 spd is probably not optimal. If someone has better EV's tell me and I'll update them)

Hey, I think I found something that really messes up AV Zygarde.
https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen81v1-1452243689 1st Version

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen81v1-1452245988 3rd Version
Fraun has also tested this with R7M so I assume he will also make a post about this soon.
I looked at the Compendium explanation and saw that AV zygarde didn't mention sylveon, maybe this already got mentioned? I'm pretty sure that many people have told me AV Zygarde beats Sylveon, (and I have beaten it myself), so I guess it was never tested if they use fake tears 3 times. (specs should still win)

In further news, I'll be stepping down as manager of the sets compendium. Over the last seven months there've been a lot of meta shifts and bans, and I'd like to thank all setbuilders (as well as the larger community) for helping to keep this resource updated and accurate.
Going forward, the sets compendium will be jointly managed by fruan and Murman, who've both contributed massively to the compendium and shown a great deal of enthusiasm for the project, as well as the metagame knowledge required to manage this resource. I will continue to advise them and remain active in the set submission channel on the discord.
Again, my deepest gratitude for everyone who's helped make this compendium become what it is, and my appreciation for everyone who's made suggestions to improve it. I hope we can keep this up through whatever changes may come to the metagame.
Charm out.

Haxorus @ Custap Berry
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 124 HP / 252 Atk / 132 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Endure
suggesting this basic set
the evs are meaningless, besides max attack, i just lazily hit the speed tier to outspeed metagross and went from there. Someone else can/should optimize them.
the important thing is the set. Obviously this will be compared to Custap Garchomp, but I think this set has a few qualities that set it apart in terms of usefulness. IMO custap sets work best when your opponent has to realistically expect and play differently against another set, which is definitely the case for Haxorus, as people will usually have to immediately attack to beat the choice sets. Mold Breaker also is a far superior ability to Rough Skin, letting it beat sturdy counter mons that kinda shit on Garchomp with the same moves. Garchomp is also screwed over by Ice coverage moves, which are run often enough to make setup either inconsistent or impossible, depending on the opposing set. Lastly, Adamant Haxorus has more Attack then Adamant Garchomp, which will often snag KOs against pokemon eved for Adamant Garchomp/Jolly Scarf Haxorus/Jolly Band Hax after SD. You do lose to opposing custap chomp, but
Putting this here bc there are currently no SD Haxorus sets on the compendium, and I think custap fits nicely for the item, and is by far a better lure set than Custap Chomp is in the current meta.
got to 1600s with it, for whatever that's worth

Regieleki @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Transistor
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eerie Impulse
- Rest
- Thunderbolt
- Thunder
I like this set. EVs let you live a -2 Hyper Beam from specs Sylveon. Does a lot of stuff specs does, but more consistent against variants of mons that beat specs set, like mirror coat/beam magnezone. Thunder doesn't seem super necessary but i can't think of a better option, thunder cage is a bit redundant and electro ball is bad with no speed investment.

here's a lele i made
Tapu Lele @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 152 HP / 36 Def / 144 SpA / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Psyshock
- Calm Mind
- Taunt
has 297 speed to outspeed base 85s and (more importantly) adamant urshifus. Bulk lets you survive a banded jolly surging strikes from urshifu-r, activating sitrus on the second hit to always survive three. HP is a work in progress, but basically its designed so you don't need to predict against Primarina, just CM turn 1 and follow up with another CM or a taunt, depending on what they do or what set they are (if they're encore you'll be fine, too). Probably not optimal but so far Lele isn't exactly looking for all the spa it can get, sosomeone else can fix it.
The speed is pretty useful, and catches a lot of stuff off guard. Not running something like 226 speed on Lele means that you're above the endless lower base speed creeps and thus get consistency against mons like fini/cm psyshock necrozma.
consistently beats fini/primarina/necrozma/sylveon (except yawn if that still exists)/regidrago/zygarde/Urshifus (except Jolly CB Urshifu-S so don't use it in low ladder)

My bird needs some love, I hope that with the new management this can be changed. Am happy to provide my 20+ sets for the beautiful bird <3
welp time to add something drifblim something i love this mon
so imma explain the only good set imo
NewBlim (Drifblim) @ Sitrus Berry/Weakness Policy
Ability: Unburden
EVs: 80 HP / 172 Def / 252 SpD
Kalm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Disable
- Shadow Ball
- Strength Sap
Evs explained: 80 hp so it can live a zyg photon geiser and then disable strength sap to kill it, i used to run 64 speed ivs to outspeed dragapult but nowadays its better with more bulk since most mons you will use this guy on are bulky and slow and faster mons will probably kill you in 1 hit anyway,
some good matchups are vs tapu lele since you just shadowball t1 disable t2 and will most likely win unless its a sitrus berry set, vs necrozoma it kills most since the only one that can one shot you is specs with max special attack investment, so anyway i love this set it can cheese a lot of matchups but i dont think its top tier just the top of what drifblim can do
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Qqm6sLAcxbtTFTwSWGyTvETZPHTO86P__hfNpletbJE/edit?usp=sharing dumb thingy i made to rank the sets ive made idk if it goes here but since ive made it imma share it anyway
so imma explain the only good set imo

Sylveon @ Babiri Berry
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 20 Def / 108 SpA / 128 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Yawn
- Protect
- Mystical Fire
Evs: The added special bulk tanks stuff like modest specs naganadel, specs porygon-z, and beats other special attackers like togekiss, regieleki and salazzle. It also helps by trying to beat other fairies, like sylveon or garnevoir. Babiri lets it take a lot of physical/special steel users, like magnezone, kart, ferro, scizor, non-band aggron, durant, avalugg and escavalier. Some matchups depend on sleep, like ceelesteela, aegislash and metagross. The rest is dumped into special attack. Don't have much else to say.

2nd edit:
AV (Tapu Fini) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 240 HP / 4 Def / 84 SpA / 180 Spe
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Icy Wind
- Ice Beam
- Nature's Madness / Hydro Pump
This is from the set comp. I'm just wondering why someone chose AV instead of misty seed, since it does the same thing except you can actually use status moves like cm and taunt. Don't know if it was a mistake or just on purpose. (Idk why it would be but maybe)
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 20 Def / 108 SpA / 128 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hyper Voice
- Yawn
- Protect
- Mystical Fire
Evs: The added special bulk tanks stuff like modest specs naganadel, specs porygon-z, and beats other special attackers like togekiss, regieleki and salazzle. It also helps by trying to beat other fairies, like sylveon or garnevoir. Babiri lets it take a lot of physical/special steel users, like magnezone, kart, ferro, scizor, non-band aggron, durant, avalugg and escavalier. Some matchups depend on sleep, like ceelesteela, aegislash and metagross. The rest is dumped into special attack. Don't have much else to say.

For SM 1v1:
Muk-Alola @ Darkinium Z
Ability: Poison Touch
EVs: 200 HP / 220 Atk / 84 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Shadow Sneak
- Gunk Shot
- Taunt
EVs: 200 HP allows Muk to live 4 Seismic Tosses from the likes of Mew, Clefable, Chansey and Registeel (Granted the latter two don't run Counter). Combined with 84 SpD and Muk can live everything up to a 252+ Hyper Beam from scarfed Porygon-Z. 4 Spe is for speed-creeping niche base 50's like Chansey, Registeel and Azumarill. The rest is poured into Atk with an Adamant nature to deal as much damage as possible with a powerful Black Hole Eclipse or Gunk Shot.
This set sets itself apart from the Recycle sets (https://www.smogon.com/dex/sm/pokemon/muk-alola/1v1/) by relying less on stall and being more offensive. It is still able to beat key threats Mew, Metagross-Mega and Slowbro-Mega, plus the Pokemon on the VR listed here:
Here are some key matchups worth discussing, and how to win them:

Here are some key matchups worth discussing, and how to win them:
- Mew: You can 100% win vs most Mew sets by using Z-Taunt on turn 1. Against Kee Mew, Z-Taunt ignores Mew's Taunt, which denies Mew its recovery and seals its fate. Even if Mew Will-O's turn 1, the attack raise from Z-Taunt will allow you to KO Mew with 3 Crunches before it is able to Recover again. The Mewnium Z set is walled and dies to Crunch into Shadow Sneak. Against Transform Mew, you have a +1 Atk boost by the time Mew has transformed, giving you the advantage in the mirror. However, Transform Mew with Will-O-Wisp wins by using Will-O turn 1 and then Z-Transform (Which ignores the Taunt).
- Metagross-Mega: Muk will usually win against Metagross, but it entirely depends on its set. Muk's Black Hole Eclipse has a 53.6% chance of OHKO'ing a Max HP Metagross, but most physdef spreads are capable of living even that + Shadow Sneak. Muk can almost always tank Meteor Mash into Bullet Punch from less Atk invested Metagross spreads, but cannot survive more offensive sets, or sets running EQ + BP. Muk also has to worry about Substitute sets, a mind game where Muk cannot use its Z-move if Metagross uses Substitute on turn 1.
- Slowbro-Mega: Against Slowbro, Muk rips its Black Hole Eclipse Turn 1. If Slowbro chooses to Mega evolve, it is Taunted the next turn and dies. If it chooses to stay in regular form to avoid Taunts, it takes 80% minimum from the Black Hole Eclipse, and if it chooses to spam Slack Off, it will eventually get poisoned by Poison Touch and/or defense lowered by Crunch (44% chance for either/both to happen). In short, it is very unlikely for Slowbro to win.
- Clefable: Clefable is tricky, because it is faster and sets up a Z-Reflect, meaning Gunk Shot does a minimum of 30%. Clefable can also avoid a Taunt with a well-predicted Magic Coat. And with Gunk Shot having 8 PP and 80% accuracy, Clefable can end up walling Muk in a worst-case scenario. The key to winning this matchup is to first use Crunch/Gunk Shot to fish for defense drops/poisons, then using Taunt on the correct turn to prevent Clefable from setting up another Reflect before the first runs out. If you are lucky, hax alone may be able to overwhelm Clefable to the point where it must make careful predictions. Also, Clefable only has a 35% to 4HKO with Moonblast (and Seismic Toss is a guaranteed 5HKO), so you don't have to worry about Clefable killing you before you kill it. TL;DR Muk beats Clefable, but not very reliably
