Best Mon (Incineroar) (M) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Parting Shot
Ok so Incin is used here because his support is irreplaceable and invaluable, Standard moveset noting to note here. The ev spread is pretty much just the exact same as the most common Munchstats spread. Tera Water is Used to gain a Resistance to Water,Ground and Rock, (we have Goggles anyways so Spore is a no Issue). So yeah I need another line and there nothing else to say but use Incin and I guess Intimidate is good damage reduction.

Luffy (Rillaboom) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Grassy Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 164 HP / 116 Atk / 4 Def / 76 SpD / 148 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Wood Hammer
- Grassy Glide
- High Horsepower
Funny Monke usefull for damage and Terrain. The ev spread allows us to outspeed max speed Timid Prim, while being really bulky and doing good damage. Tera Poison is used for the same reasons as Gastrodon. And yeah just a standard moveset otherwises.

No Salt (Gastrodon-East) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 204 HP / 148 Def / 76 SpA / 76 SpD / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Muddy Water
- Earth Power
- Yawn
- Protect
Ok So Gastrodon is used here so we can have a pretty good Rain Matchup.
Muddy Water and Earth Powers are his Two best stabs, while Yawn is usefull for pressuring Trick Room mons and Set Up Sweepers. This ev spread lets em be bulky while also doing respectable damage after a boost. Tera Poison removes our 4x Grass weakness and turns it into a Resist, also good for Resisting Dire Claw and Close Combat.

LakeofRage (Gyarados) (M) @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 92 HP / 76 Atk / 84 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Tera Blast
- Protect
Ok honestly I never bring him but anyways here i go.
Intimidate is a good all around Abillity for Gyarados also the ev spread trys to have the Dos be as bulky as possible while still having Max Speed to outspeed a lot after one DD, and still having a good amount of attack. Tera Flying Tera Blast is Doses best Flying Stab, and Water Fall his best Water, Protect is good generally and DD is good set up. Clear Amulet is used to avoid Intimidate and because Goggles are taken up. Dos is here to be a fast sweeping option and to self proc Gastrodon shenanigans.

Sneas (Sneasler) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Poison Touch
Level: 50
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- Dire Claw
- Close Combat
- Protect
Alright so here we have this little speedy devil, Fake Out is good for Flinching opponents and generatimg free turns, Poison Touch with Dire Claw shreds opponents and it they live very likely statuses them. Nothing else is special here but Tera Stellar does give a usefull boost on both out stabs. Sneasler is used here to just have a good speedy option.

I Ate (Kingambit) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Defiant
Level: 50
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 212 HP / 132 Atk / 4 Def / 76 SpD / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Kowtow Cleave
- Sucker Punch
- Protect
Ok so this Gambit set allows us to outspeed no speed Incin/Prims while also being generally good at taking hits and dishing them out as well. Black Glasses along side being the third and final item Gambit usually runs also gives out dark moves a much appreciated boost. Tera Grass allows us to Keep out Electric Resistance and also gain a Spore Immunity and a Water and Ground Resist. Gambit is used here to give us a good priority option and Fairy and Dragon Resist.
 
Heyo Account Namr! This is a pretty interesting take on balance, with Gyarados and Gastrodon being pretty cool, alongside some Tera choices. I'll note a few weaknesses before we get into the rate:

- :sneasler:+:indeedee: This combo can be an issue, since Sneasler can blow through even Tera Water Incineroar and Rillaboom, while Tera Poison on Rillaboom get hit too hard by Expanding Force to really do anything. Kingambit also gets OHKO'd by Sneasler. The only out is setting up Gyarados enough to outspeed both Choice Scarf Indeedee-M and Unburden Sneasler.

- :Dragonite: When positioned correctly, this Pokemon can just sweep through your whole team. Kingambit gets hit by Low Kick, Sneasler by Scale Shot, Rillaboom by Tera Blast, Incineroar by Scale Shot as well, and the two Water-types are alright in regards to Dragonite. They don't run Tera Blast and Low Kick togther though, so just be wary.

Changes:

Let's run down the list, starting with...

:incineroar:
Tera Water --> Tera Ghost
Pretty standard change, Tera Ghost is generally better right now for Fighting-type damage. Speaking of, this change was specified for the Sneasler matchup, resisting both Close Combat and Dire Claw, while being immune to Indeedee-M's Tera Blast (not terastalized) and Dragonite's, Low Kick and Extreme Speed.
New EVs: 252 HP / 36 Atk+ / 92 Def / 116 SpD / 12 Spe
General change, just does more damage and lives more hits, if you want to go find a more detailed EV spread you can.

---------------

:Rillaboom:
Tera Poison --> Tera Fire
Again, a standard change. Tera Poison just has issues with Indeedee-M and Psyspam TR teams with Hatterene.
New EVs: 252 HP / 116 Atk+ / 4 Def / 60 SpD / 76 Spe
Just generic EVs, idk what the other spread was doing but this hits a nice speed tier (outspeeds Timid Ursa-BM) and has good overall bulk.

---------------

:gastrodon: --> :electabuzz:
I wanted to make Gyarados the main focus/vocal point of the team, and for that, we needed redirection. Electabuzz was pretty obvious, since it can redirect Dire Claw very easily due to an immunity to sleep. Gastrodon was overall a bit random here, but that's alright.

---------------

:gyarados:
Intimidate --> Moxie
Figured since you already had Intimidate, Moxie could make your Gyarados an amazing cleaner, or just steamroll through teams at the beginning.
New EVs: 76 HP / 220 Atk+ / 4 Def / 4 SpD / 204 Spe
Obviously a more offensive EV spread, the spread outspeeds all unboosted Sneasler after a Dragon Dance, while OHKOing every Sneasler with +1 Waterfall. Bulk was just spread around, you can try something else though, or stick to the original spread if it works for you.

---------------

:sneasler:
Fake Out --> Coaching
You can stick with Fake Out, but here I think Coaching is a better fit to boost Gyarados, Kingambit, Rillaboom, and maybe even Incineroar.

---------------

:Kingambit:
Tera Grass --> Tera Dark
Tera Grass was for Spore, but with Electabuzz, Tera Dark is better to deal maximum damage.

---------------

And that's all she wrote! The paste will be down below, good luck and happy battling!
