Team Summary

March sun is a hyper offensive team in all senses that can almost always snowball off the lead, having several ways to get into game winning positions from the very start of the game, whilst also using some niche picks. The team overall specialises in keeping momentum.

The team building process

In regulation f part 1 I used a similar composition but it was the sample with wellspring, I am best with hyper offense and love Glimmora so I strongly felt it would be the mon that I use on my main team. Further, I think Glimmora has a unique strong position in the meta right now; with meteor beam it can ohko many threats in the meta such as tornadus and incin, further at +1 special attack sludge bomb and earthpower can often be used to deal high damage into, for example, wellspring oger or rillaboom. This specific glimmora is 138 speed, which is perfect with flutter who reduces opponents speed by 1 stage, this interaction is useful versus chien pao where after an icy wind glim can outspeed and ohko with a meteor beam or +1 sludge bomb. This is particularly good into chien pao and dragonite.

This torn is also special where with sharp beak it can nuke opponents with high damage bleakwinds while allowing me to have immense bulk and speed, this torn hits 150 speed, just above adamant urshifu allowing me to have the upper hand ____, I ran sunny day protect tailwind and bleakwind. Sunny day was to allow my team to not be as weak into water types, as my team has no natural resistances to the type. Sunny day also allows my choice specs chiyu to unleash heatwaves strong enough to ohko even resisted targets. Furthermore, this torn has enough bulk to live an unboosted thunderclap from raging bolt.

Chiyu I ran to enable the flutter chiyu combo which is very effective into many compositions and leads, such as gholdengo + landorus and p2 ursa. The combination of choice specs and beads of ruin allows this chiyu to be an absurdly strong nuke, with the combination of tera fairy moon blast from flutter and an overheat, it can ohko an assault vest incineroar. I also used it a lot with tornadus, the combination of beads of ruin + sharp beak bleakwind and heatwave is a very threatening attack. Further, this chiyu’s snarl hits very hard allowing u to win against av bolt and crown psyspam easily.

Flutter mane was used here to provide another source of spread damage and speed control. It hits very hard with tera fairy. This allows it to check calm mind raging bolt and dondozo.
Into dondozo often the combo of flutter chiyu or flutter glimmora leads with urshifu dark in the back allows me the victory as flutter icy winds the dondozo and urshifu can nuke it further bypassing stat boosts. As mentioned in the glimmora section, the icy wind allows it to outspeed chien pao this can be crucial in allowing glim to ohko the opposing chien pao.
Flutter also is 189 speed, this is specifically to outspeed roaring moon which has a max speed of 188. Even so, flutter has a crucial role to play in that while facing chien pao urshifu, the best play is to sack flutter and tera stellar urshifu, if they target urshifu icy wind allows your urshifu to outspeed and ohko the opposing urshifu, if they double flutter, you will kill urshifu anyways.

Urshifu is a very unique pokemon here, I used tera stellar for a very good roll to ohko some wellspring. Even towards bulkier wellspring u will hit for atleast 85% putting it in range to be picked up. With stellar you can nuke even bulkier flutters and chunk enemies down, further with sucker punch allows u to pick up kos. Tera stellar to ohko even registeel with close combat. Urshifu is a core unit on this team due to its strong priority and clean up potential with Tornadus. It also has bulk for better rolls into tera water/mysticwater urshifu rapid and tachyon cutter.

Finally landorus, landorus was a last minute addition to patch up match ups, it is especially strong into the common wellspring + raging bolt + incin teams in the meta. Lando also pairs amazingly with tornadus, glim and flutter. In the sense where you can spam earthquake with torn, self activate toxic spikes on tera grass glim and nuke with flutter/chiyu. This landorus is 143 speed just under the urshifu and chiyu to allow it to do this. One scenario is the auto win into most hard tr (no gallade). Earthquake and heatwave will always kill both indeedee and hatt regardless of the tera type. This sacks chiyu but is an auto win. Tera ghost was used to ignore fake out and for its well rounded defensive profile. Finally, Intimidate on this team it is very important as it allows your hyper offensive nukes to live surprising double ups, example flutter can live tera water aqua jet + sucker from chien pao if you swap in landorus.
