Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
With the end of MOMPL, we invite you all to share the teams you used during the tournament. this is to help the devlopment of the Metagames and for newer players to see what is used in tournament play. Feel free to leave explanations to your teams. Thanks already for everyone sharing their teams here in advance.
The pre-finals teams I used are the intellectual property of Leaf and Fent, so I'm just gonna drop the one I used in finals against jackuzzler. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2576104932-v23g9erf3ni8t8bf4whlwc8v3enfw20pw
I took the CAP Bug that infests my scout and, at the suggestion of my co-managers, swapped out the notorious flaming moth for the oft-overlooked aura farming moth (and adjusted Snael's spread), making it so that the team has every CAP Bug. Even without Quiver Dance, Tail Glow + Weak Armor makes Aurumoth a deadly setup sweeper, and its breadth of coverage, both physical and special, makes it unpredictable. Hydro Pump was chosen to target threatening fire and ground types, like Heatran, Hemogoblin, and Equilibra. Close Combat was considered to 2HKO Hoodra and Equilibra at 100% accuracy, but was swapped out for Shadow Ball to murder Gholdengo.
