My friend asked me to build him a Staraptor team for fun, and I swapped Raptor for Hawlucha since it's obviously more viable. I have acheived 1430 ELO with this team. It's essentially a team built around Lucha and M-Lopunny eliminating each others checks
Hawlucha @ Psychic Seed
Ability: Unburden
Happiness: 0
EVs: 96 HP / 252 Atk / 36 SpD / 124 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Acrobatics
- Swords Dance
- High Jump Kick
- Roost
----
Hawlucha is here to wear down M-Lopunny's checks. As well and check ground types like choice locked Landorus-T.
I use the standard smogon set but I would experiment with power herb Sky Attack unburden. Usually Hawlucha comes in first after I set up spikes and rocks with Skarmory and Heatran. With hazards up Hawlucha can wear down common switch ins to fighting types like Zapdos, and defensive Lando-T. With hazards up usually I KO a Pokemon and stay in still I faint.
Although with unburden activated occasionalyl hawlucha will be my last pokemon which I sweep with. All around it's an offensive pivot for ground types and sweeper
Lopunny-Mega @ Lopunnite
Ability: Scrappy
Happiness: 0
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Ice Punch
- Frustration
------
I frequently leave Lopunny as the last pokemon to clean up teams with a combonation of HJK Frustration and Fake Out.
Ice punch stops Zygarde and Lando-T. Which othewise give Skarmory and Hetran trouble. Lopunny is usually the last pokemon alive and with hazards in place and the rest of my pokemon fainted it an usully clean up.
It also has revenge killing cabailities with powerful STAB Fake Out. M-Lopunny hates Priority users like Ash-Greninja nad M-Scizor. So that's why I have Tapu Lele.
Heatran @ Firium Z
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
-------
Here we have offensive Heatran Trapper variety. With max speed timid I frequently catch people by suprise and nab KO's with Inferno Overdrive. Heatran's role is to lead or come out after Skarmory faints and click magma storm. Trapping whatever there intial switch in is. Without reliable revovery Heartran can break through
Tapu Fini, one vs one. Tapu Fini and other fairy types being good checks to my main sweepers Hawlucha and M-Lopunny.
Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Taunt
- Whirlwind
- Brave Bird
-------
This is a dediated lead Skaromory set. The EVs could be better optimized for outspeeding different threats. Skarmory stops the
oppenents hazard setters and spikes up while providing residual damage via rocky helmet, whirlwind spam, and brave bird. Skarmory isnt here to stay alive, but I will keep it as a switch in if the oppenent has someting it walls like Garchomp without fire coverage.
Sturdy allows it to live any hit and taunt set up sweepers as well.
Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Play Rough
- Shadow Claw
------
Mimikyu is here to come in after Hawlucha is done with it's buisness. Usually Mimikyu comes in to set up an SD before Breaking through the oppenents team. With hazards and Hawlucha wearing down walls Mimikyu can frequently claim some KOs.
The Whole purpose of this team is to aggro very quickly. Mimikyu also can revenge kill with LO boosted Adamant Shadow Sneaks. Giving it good utility.
Tapu Lele @ Choice Specs
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
-------
Tapu Lele is here for Psychic terrain, to stop priority and compliment Hawlucha. Additionally I'm running Choice Specs or Sub three attacks because I have eenough revenge killing options. Psychic terrain is double nice for stopping priority from Ash Greninja and M-Scizor.
The game plan
The game plan
- Lead Skarmory and either fast taunt or spike up
- Sucide Skarmory with Brave Bird to stop a spin/defog
- Go into Heatran and get up rocks or trap something
- At this point usually at least one of there pokemon is dead
- Wall break with my best matchup
- Save Mimiku and M-Lopunny for last Pokemon to clean
