Battle Stadium Less Used Stuff

:Drifblim:
Drifblim @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Unburden
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 4 HP / 236 Def / 76 SpA / 92 SpD / 100 Spe
Modest Nature
- Hex
- Thunder Wave
- Strength Sap
- Destiny Bond

My favorite. It was brought to my attention it didn't do good w. Flutter and Gholdengo, normally, so I cut a lot of Spe for the necessary SpA to ohko statused Flutter and 2hko Gholdnego. Still some Spe, for w/e that does, and the same Def for Meowscarada's Knock Off. Dark Tera for ghost and dark moves, constantly considering fairy for Dark Urshifu but idk. T-Wave has been great, the hax goes my way often(balanced by me taking lots of freezes and flinches...) Strength Sap is vital for something like Ursaluna, and I like Destiny Bond as I often can get a trade.

:Toedscruel:
Toedscruel @ Assault Vest
Ability: Mycelium Might
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 HP / 148 SpA / 108 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Acid Spray
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power
- Mirror Coat

Toedscruel has been very good w/ its special bulk. It can even take Freeze-Dry from Bundle fairly well, and ohko w/ a healing move! If I halve the ice weakness w/ tera should be able to take a Flutter afterwards. Mirror Coat is also vital for Zapdos, and any surprise ice tera tera blasts. Earth Power lets me hurt Amoonguss after some Acid Sprays, and gets Gholdnego that don't oblige me by attacking to start, so I can't Mirror Coat them. Obviously the physical frailty is a problem, and I don't see a great point to this mon's ability. But I like it a lot, I always use some kind of Spore immune(although I may need a full sleep immune, for Yawn cycles.)

:Iron Hands:
Iron Hands @ Booster Energy
Ability: Quark Drive
Level: 50
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Wild Charge
- Drain Punch
- Earthquake
- Swords Dance

I don't really remember all of why I started using Iron Hands, certainly it can hurt Garg, and isn't terrible vs. Annihilape. Anyways, normal EVs for this mon I think. Booster Energy to deal very high damage, which also means more healed w/ Drain Punch(I mean to use electric tera, but mine is fighting and I'd rather not use shards if it works.) SD has still helped, at least w/ a physically bulky Annihilape, and maybe Cresselia. Wild Charge to those, generally, and EQ is pretty good, idk why. I guess for the mirror, even more on Heatran, etc.

:Frosmoth:
Frosmoth @ Never-Melt Ice
Ability: Ice Scales
Level: 50
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 60 HP / 252 SpA / 196 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Giga Drain
- Quiver Dance
- Bug Buzz

A recent addition that I really like already. I put this as a rare switch in for Iron Bundle, it won't deal much at all. Similar to Toedscruel, this can take very little special damage. But really, w/ ice scales vs. AV it's on another level. It might be partially redundant, but Toedscruel can't switch in on Bundle even w/ a good enough match-up otherwise. Ice tera is what I got, was gonna change to steel, but this can deal absurd damage w/ the item and max SpA, muscled past a Toxapex w/ a boost. Also ohkos Hippo, and may get Ting Lu even idk. Giga Drain gets Garg for big heals, others too, not least of which is Bundle since this is partly here for that. Bug Buzz idk, was thinking it'd do good w/ Cress, but in reality we both boost up and they end up w/ the higher BP move so derp. Spe gets to 110, 165 boosted. Idk what the HP does, it just seems like where the extra should go.

:Qwilfish-Hisui:
Qwilfish-Hisui @ Eviolite
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 244 HP / 60 Atk / 36 Def / 164 SpD / 4 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Barb Barrage
- Reversal
- Haze

I used to use Qwilfish-h, and I put it back for my match ups into Dark Urshifu and Cress. I used to use Bug Tera Pin Missile for Espathra, but bred a dark one to try to overpower Cress, who also loses boosts to Haze. Reversal is for the dark Urshifu, though idk if it's worth it. But it's the only SE attack it gets for their type. EVs....um, may need to be re-evaluated w/o Pin Missile. I just added this most recently, so I have less experience w/ it now.

:Dondozo:
Dondozo @ Chesto Berry
Ability: Unaware
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Wave Crash
- Avalanche
- Rest
- Curse

Originally w/ me wanting to build around Drif I was suggested a water type, namely pex or this. This has been doing better than Pex used to. Idk why I picked the curse set specifically, but it seems fine. Dragon Tera cause, at the time(and maybe still,) I had too few grass tera shards. This seems pretty useful for its ability.

I've gotten some disgusting losses from freeze hax and crits probably, 15 more than wins, though not just from that. But it used to be higher(I guess like 18 only....but it's progress :].) I also see a lot of weird stuff, so I'm trying to take the greater loss record w/ a grain of salt.
 
Hello, you should add leftovers and remove chesto berry and remove curse to add sleep talk on Dondozo
Poison touch is better on ur qwillfish
On frosmoth u should use expert belt against never melt ice. Good luck on laddering

Well ok, can try it. Tbh I'm in favor of sleep talk over Avalanche more than curse, buteither way I agree sorta cause yawn cycles.

Poison Touch? I guess Poison Point has some use, but idk. Also I'd have to patch it, well I guess I can breed a non-HA one.

Frosmoth I'm tempted to agree, that was my instinct. But the coverage isn't exactly good for Expert Belt, and te damage of Never-Melt Ice can power through resists w/ tera. Like I woulda lost to a tera fire Gardevoir just today, if I was Expert Belt.

Ty, and thanks for input. I certainly don't get much. I'm gonna wait a bit in case a BSS bigwig rates my team, perhaps they don't agree, or maybe they suggest even more change. In the meantime will try the simple item and move changes, at least.
 
Oh yes, It’s poison point:wo:..
Yes you also can replace avalanche by curse
For qwilfish, the set is weird
This set imo is better :


Qwilfish-Hisui @ Eviolite
Ability: Poison Point
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 244 HP / 60 Atk / 36 Def / 164 SpD / 4 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Poison Jab
- Crunch
- Protect
- Reversal
For the IV/EV I prefered to don’t touch.

Huh? What good is protect on non-lefties in singles. Barb Barrage is probably skippable...but it is the signature attack of it. Jolly w/o any more Spe EVs is interesting...as for weird, imo the only weird thing is one you kept, Reversal. I just feel I need an SE hit on reg Urshifu though. At any rate I WILL look into EVs. Adamant 60 was for when I had Pin Missile iirc. Right now only need attack to beat up Cress terad.

EDIT: 220+ Atk Tera Dark Qwilfish-Hisui Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Cresselia: 112-132 (49.3 - 58.1%) -- 47.3% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Not sure I need that investment, at -1 from Crunch drop it is more than enough, and w/o it won't likely 2hko lefties Cress. Meanwhile non-lefties is already beaten. Will look at defensive calcs too.
 
Ye cresselia can be a problem if tera poison, cuz this mon is only weak x2 to psychic if Tera , the protect was for getting a free turn of poison.

for urshifu :
252+ Atk Choice Band Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Close Combat vs. +1 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo: 142-168 (28.1 - 33.3%) -- 0% chance to 3HKO your dondozo can pretty easily wall him at +1 and his unaware make the setup set.. useless. Your drifblim set work pretty good

Ok, maybe. Um, it's the regular, dark, Urshifu that is trouble. Also I'm SpD Dozo, so idk that I take that wicked blow well at all, in the past I took much damage. Dark Shifu only fears a terad Drif kinda, it still has an SE STAB after I tera.
