So, First I started with Luca Cerribeli Worlds Team, and I know, that's a Reg G team.But like, I really like that team, it's really good, and I think that the core that it create is just amazing, and I wanted to try the 5 mons that are legal in Reg F.
So, Lets start from the beginning, I thought about, what's the strongest source of damage now that Miraidon is gone? it's kind of simple. FLUTTERMANE, so, first with the exact copy of the team, but Flutter Mane, and it was kind of meh.
My first insights about the team were = Farigiraf is kind of bad, I am REALLY weak to Amoonguss.
So, why Farigiraf was bad? it's simple, without its Electric Seed, I had basically no staying power, I just got bonked by everything, and even with a Sitrus Berry I was just so frail. The team at least kind of mid, but more weak than strong, it felt clunky.
So, trying to solve the problem, I started with the Goat INDEEDE. With Indeedee, the team was really smooth, I had priority blocking, I had a Flutter Mane running through entire teams, I had an Indeedee really helping, and now lets look at my insights.
Indeedee = Broken, really better than Farigiraf with phys bulk and Psy Seed.
Flutter Mane = Clunky, does not have a Volt Switch, thing that makes Miraidon really more broken, and on top of that, she does good damage, really a nuke, but Miraidon is a nuclear nuke, both are good, but there's levels to this game.
Ogerpon Hearthflame + Water Urshifu + Whimsicott = really broken core, + Indeedee I have double redirection + double speed + the 2 most broken phys attacker mons that exist in this world.
Iron Hands = it's kind of clunky, it's not my favorite because it needs TR to work well, and it's kind of hard to maintain Flutter Mane pressure + Iron Hands.
So, with that, I had the IDEA OF THE CENTURY. IRON CROWN, YES, IRON CROWN IS THE NEW MIRAIDON, HE IS THE NEW NUCLEAR NUKE THAT WE NEEDED, WE NEED HIM, WE PRAY FOR HIM. With Iron Crown the team created a really good strength, I have responses for everything basically, it's kind of crazy. The last change of the team was making the team less Trick Room dependent, I think that Iron Hands has immense potential, but having Incineroar is just WAY BETTER, with Incin I have a faster Fake Out, I have an Intimidate mon (this helps a lot), and I have a pivoting move that helps getting the 3 attackers or the speed controller of the team in position, Incin is just goated.
So lets talk about the mons of the team individually, lets start with = THE GOD HIMSELF.
Paste = https://pokepast.es/77d8d7a06848b85f
GOD HIMSELF (Whimsicott) @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Prankster
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 236 HP / 164 SpD / 108 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Tailwind
- Light Screen
- Encore
So this is straight up a broken mon, his super effective hits actually hurt a lot, and he has a lot of bulk, + being faster than Torn makes me immune to Taunt first play, having Tera Dark if I need that, Light Screen + Encore makes me have A LOT of control, with screens I can have a MU into normal Psyspam, I have a good MU into Flutter Mane, and I can have responses to special attackers in general, because I just have priority screen, and that's broken. Like, everybody knows about Tailwind, just Tailwind versus a team with no speed control, I can nuke everything with Iron Crown + Firepon + Water Shifu. - The name is because I really like this mon, he is just so broken.
Sneasller (Urshifu-Rapid-Strike) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Unseen Fist
Level: 50
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- Aqua Jet
- Protect
There's not a lot to say about this one, he is just so broken, it checks = Incin, Arcanine, everything weak to it, Flutter Mane, it has priority, it has Protect, and with Tailwind it outspeeds basically everything, and kills everything too, vs Waterpon it is weak, but the team is great vs that mon with Iron Crown + Firepon, this mon with Sash and Tera Stellar is broken, I can live everything, and I nuke everything. The name is because this mon is hated like my beloved Sneasler.
B.O.N.K (Ogerpon-Hearthflame) (F) @ Hearthflame Mask
Ability: Mold Breaker
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 188 HP / 76 Atk / 52 Def / 4 SpD / 188 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Wood Hammer
- Follow Me
- Spiky Shield
So, lets talk about B.O.N.K, or Ogerpon Hearthflame, or Firepon, like, there's a lot of names for this menace, he is just that good, this EV spread is an amazing work of Luca Cerribeli, really amazing, this Ogerpon feels tanky, he has speed (this speed EV makes that it can outspeed Booster Speed Flutter Mane, and every Scarfer in the meta, and this makes him sooo strong), he has redirection + amazing moveset and damage + a stronger Protect that deals damage to enemies, there's literally nothing bad with this mon, with Tera Fire, this thing just BONKS EVERYTHING, like, I am being serious, this thing is so strong, a Tera Fire boosted Ivy Cudgel just makes everything explode, it kills Farigiraf, it kills Indeedee, this kills everything weak to it, even Intimidated it deals a lot of damage considering that this thing has good base ATK.- The name speaks by itself, it's just B.O.N.K.
Sorry,can i K you (Indeedee-F) @ Psychic Seed
Ability: Psychic Surge
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Helping Hand
- Follow Me
- Trick Room
- Psychic
I really like Indeedee, it's just really tanky, with max HP + max Def + Psy Seed (so I can have 1.5 SpDef) this thing just stays alive, with Trick Room I can have this speed control vs some teams, this really helps in some MU, in the TR MU I can use it to reverse TR (even though this isn't a primary strategy, I can use it if I want to read, but high risk high reward). Psychic isn't used a lot, but it's good to make super effective hits (and hits Amoonguss). Follow Me really helps to support the whole team (this team is really focused on enabling a heavy hitter, so I really like redirection on this team). Helping Hand kind of feels the same way, I can use it to enable my hitters to another level, dealing more nuclear damage (Tera Fairy is just good in general and vs Raging Bolt). - The name its because like, she is so polite, she will ask and then Kill everthing.
Miraiidon (Iron Crown) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Quark Drive
Level: 50
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Expanding Force
- Volt Switch
- Tachyon Cutter
- Tera Blast
So, this is my homemade Miraidon, it's the ace of the team, this mon is actually so similar to Miraidon in so many ways = Volt Switch + Choice Specs heavy hitter, + Tachyon Cutter Electro Drift + heavy Expanding Force to damage both enemy mons. This mon enables a Psyspam variant of the team, so I can do a lot of damage with Expanding Force, I have Tera Water Tera Blast to nuke Incin and become fire resistant + water resist, and the entire team has a lot of synergy with this mon, Urshifu is a clear example, tell me, one mon that tanks an Expanding Force + a Surging Strikes, if you try, you just can't tell it. If you manage to get these two mons in Tailwind or in Trick Room (with opposing team going for Tailwind) I can do a lot of damage, Ogerpon Hearthflame is really strong with it, and you can easily have Whimsicott that deals damage to Dark types that are immune to Expanding Force. - The name is simple, this is my Miraidon.
Lebron (Incineroar) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 228 HP / 108 Atk / 100 Def / 68 SpD / 4 Spe
Impish Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Knock Off
- Fake Out
- U-turn
So now, we have the goat. This mon is just so broken, Intimidate + Fake Out would make you use every mon in the dex, having this mon makes me really confident in switching around with U-turn and making good positions to nuke the opposition, with the 108 Atk investment, this Incin can kill offensive Flutter Mane and do heavy damage to opponents that are weak to it. With the Assault Vest we are really tanky in the HTR MU, and we actually have Tera Bug U-turn so we do heavy damage with it, lol, Tera Bug U-turn does 50% to Ogerpon, and we do 50% to Rillaboom (this really helps because it's just heavy damage to problematic mons because of the terrain). We have a total of 1 Speed EV to win speed ties with a lot of luck and a lot of prayer lol. - Name? i just see G.O.A.T
The Luca Cerribeli Core its like this bc we have 3 out of 6 mons with luca cerribeli exact sets (worlds winning team)
So, Lets start from the beginning, I thought about, what's the strongest source of damage now that Miraidon is gone? it's kind of simple. FLUTTERMANE, so, first with the exact copy of the team, but Flutter Mane, and it was kind of meh.
