ayo, decided to make my come back to the RMT forums after 2 years, I just made this team on a whim so, please don't judge it too harshly lol
Kartana @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- Smart Strike
- Knock Off
- Sacred Sword
so I'll be honest, this whole team was originally built around SD scizor, but it turns out scizor sucks balls this gen lol, we ended up replacing it with the other 4x fire weak mon that happens to synergize just as well and actually sweep. But anyway, kartana, what can I say, great attack, great speed, great coverage, great boosts, and general all around awesomeness. scarf makes it so it can revenge kill the biggest threats in this team in lele and weavile, and it generally makes it a more reliable sweeper provided you successfully get rid of it's walls.
Magnezone @ Leftovers
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 104 HP / 252 Def / 52 SpA / 100 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Discharge
- Toxic
And that's where this thing comes in, I'm sure you don't need me to tell you how powerful this combo is, but magnezone can single handedly and reliably remove the most common and annoying mons in the tier, making karts life a heck of a lot easier, and just generally puts a whole in the opponents defenses.
Slowbro @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Future Sight
- Slack Off
- Teleport
slowbro is here because well for one, it's a regen mon, regen mons broken and it is a great physical wall, but it's mainly here because of the immensely powerful combo that is future sight + teleport, not only does it do wonders when it comes to pressuring your opponent, but it also takes care of the main checks to kartana in toxapex and buzzwole. this combined with zone leaves very few mons that can actually deal with kartana.
Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Choice Band
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Surging Strikes
- Aqua Jet
- U-turn
And since we're using future sight might as well throw in the big dog in here too (literally the same combo I used in my last and only other RMT lol), it synergizes very well with out core and it gets a kill or does major damage pretty much every time it comes in with a future sight on the way, it's typing also helps improve our weavile match up, and priority is always nice.
Blissey (F) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Natural Cure
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Spe
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic
- Seismic Toss
- Soft-Boiled
Blissey may seem like a weird choice on here, but it fullfils it's role better than any other mon can, which is to lock out special attackers, get up rocks, and spread status around, only minus is that it is vulnerable to being trapped, and it still gets thrashed by lele. I would love to have heal bell in here especially since both our offensive mons are physical and vulnerable to being statused, but unfortunately I don't think there's enough room for that.
Landorus-Therian @ Leftovers
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 164 Def / 92 SpD
Impish Nature
IVs: 21 Spe
- Earthquake
- Defog
- Toxic
- U-turn
And of course lastly, we put the ultimate condensed mon landorus, it's a ground immunity, electric immunity, defoger, kartana and rillaboom check (although it still gets thrashed by SD kart and banded rilla, which are probably the biggest problems to this team). It's not an ideal mon compared to something like tornadus, but it's necessary not to lose to the likes of regieleki and zeraora
