Does anyone have a way to KO this set? I've been swept by this as soon as the opponent sets up a pair of screens and swaps to it. Absolutely no way to get rid of this with it being so bulky and setting up so easily.
Scream Tail @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Bounce
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Draining Kiss
- Wish
Not gonna give me any credit lol, you stole my team after I beat you with it on the ladder.Hi everyone, I'm top 3 in ladder and wanted to share my team (spoilers: it's a rain team).

Corviknight @ Damp Rock
Ability: Drizzle
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- U-turn
- Brave Bird
- Knock Off
- Roost
Everyone already knows the Corvyknight with drizzle, U turn, Brave Bird, Knock Off and Roost. After Iron Bundle Ban, I think there is no better option for a Drizzle mon.

Walking Wake @ Choice Specs
Ability: Adaptability
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Draco Meteor
- Surf
- Dragon Pulse
Before I had an Iron Bundle, but after the ban I remembered that Dragalge had adaptability and dragon and water attacks... and to add it has almost the same special attack as Bundle, but with less speed, but it doesn't matter. A Draco Meteor hits so hard that it can press Goodra H with regeneration, and without AV or some pokemon with Water Absorb and fairy type is 2 or 1HKO. Even Chancey with a Hydro Pump in rain is forced to use a recovery move, and in those cases Urshifu enters.

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Life Orb
Ability: Swift Swim
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Liquidation
- Close Combat
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance
Unless you have another faster Swift Swim, you will have a lot of problems with Urshifu. With SD + STABS + Earthquake for Toxapex, you are in serious trouble. The only pokemon that managed to resist my attacks with SD was Iron Hands with Unaware, but even then I managed to force it to use Recover.

Zapdos @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Serene Grace
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 248 HP / 240 Def / 20 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunder
- Hurricane
- Stealth Rock
- Roost
Can you imagine having hurricane and thunder with 60% confusing and paralyzing? and that has 100% accuracy in rain? That's Zapdos. You confuse, paralyze, take advantage of the situation and make the rival salty.

Goodra-Hisui @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Dragon Tail
- Rapid Spin
I've always liked Goodra, and having one that is competitive is like a dream come true. Everyone already knows the set with regeneration so let's continue with the next pokemon.

Toxapex @ Leppa Berry
Ability: Volt Absorb
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Body Press
- Revival Blessing
- Sleep Talk
- Rest
Did one of your key pokemon like Walking Wake, Urshifu RS or Corvy die? No problem, Toxapex with Revival Blessing is coming to save us! With Body Press you can exert offensive pressure and with Volt Absorb you are immune to the electric type! What else do I need if I already have everything? right, Revival Blessing, that's why he has Ieppa berry. Is the PP of Revival Blessing over? Rest + Sleep Talk + Pray that you get Revival Blessing even if you don't have PP!.
I felt bad for creating this team, it conditions the teambuilder a lot. It's true that Water Absorb users conditioned me, but unless they're the fairy type, I don't think you can do much, and that's the problem. I always create climate equipment, use Drought before ban, rain, sand stream and even hail, and it is more than obvious that Rain is the best. To finish the counter of this team was Iron Hands being Breelom SD
Although your team had Magnet Pull Great Tusk and Iron Hands as a revival blessing mon and I didn't know the evs of Zapdos. And there is no Iron Bundle, so I think that with the exception of Urshifu Zapdos Corvy, it is a different team. inspired by yours. This is assuming that you are the one who defeated me that time with a variant of this team before the ban of Iron Bundle and Great Tusk Magnet Pull.Not gonna give me any credit lol, you stole my team after I beat you with it on the ladder.
Yup, that's me. But I had H-Goodra for rapid spin, not Iron Hands... You currently have 4/6 mons the same. Before the Bundle ban it sounds like you had 5/6 the exact same. Imitation is the best form of flattery I guess.Although your team had Magnet Pull Great Tusk and Iron Hands as a revival blessing mon and I didn't know the evs of Zapdos.

I've been running that Gallade set with Agility and an Adamant nature, you've got Justified listed instead of Sharpness, though. Knock Off is an interesting option over Night Slash's consistent and higher power.Hey guys, what's up? Can we talk about Garganacl? I've played some games and it's absolutely everywhere; any bulky mons take advantage of Garganacl and the combination of Covert Cloak + Knock Off absorber is hard to deal with. It's certainly one of the top doner in SV, and while I don't consider it's broken by itself, I would say it's quite centralizing somehow. I think building will be healthier without Garga.
Also, a couple of sets I would like to share:

Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe

Iron Leaves @ Life Orb
Ability: Justified
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Psycho Cut
- Sacred Sword
- Agility / Knock Off
I've met this set and it looks really cool. Gholdengo will completely wall you unless you run Knock Off.
See ya!
The abilities Huge Power and Pure Power are banned, sorry!I was trying to build a TR team, since TR is my go to style. Anyone know why this set isn’t working? Medicham isn’t banned in the builder as a donner as far as I can tell.
Ah, I see it now. Dang I thought I found the best offensive TR setter + breaker. :DThe abilities Huge Power and Pure Power are banned, sorry!
Has anyone found any good counters to this team? Been seeing this team frequently on the ladder, and I have yet to find anything that works.Hi everyone, I'm top 3 in ladder and wanted to share my team (spoilers: it's a rain team).

I was experimenting with Snow Warning Avalugg to vex rain teams, and it IS monumentally physically bulky, but its lack of sustainability and fighting weakness really let it down. It also wants to hold all of Icy Rock, Light Clay and HDBs, but can only hold one.Has anyone found any good counters to this team? Been seeing this team frequently on the ladder, and I have yet to find anything that works.
bane (Iron Hands) @ Covert CloakHas anyone found any good counters to this team? Been seeing this team frequently on the ladder, and I have yet to find anything that works.
that team folds to hazard stacking with defensive gholdengo to spinblock. a water absorb defensive pivot helps.Has anyone found any good counters to this team? Been seeing this team frequently on the ladder, and I have yet to find anything that works.
I think that a fairy guy with a lot of bulk and with the ability Water Absorb nullifies two of the most dangerous pokemon of the team. A Scream Tail would be an answer to that. Knock Off affects the team a lot. Without Life Orb, Choice Specs or Damp rock it won't be able to do you the same damage.Has anyone found any good counters to this team?

Ursaluna-Blood-Moon having Vacuum Wave.Also, Ursaluna-Blood-Moon is freed. Unlike its regular counterpart it lacks sets with the insane power of guts facade, while also not having any priority like Extreme Speed.
Tagging Kris to implement
Its neither stab nor 80 bp, a weak wind vs most mons
