Hello team, could you help me build a mono ground team based around SD Gliscor please.
I tried to build it but struggling and don't have so much time.
Thanks a lot !

Hi, sorry for the wait but I wanted to keep this team a secret as I wanted to use it in tournament, here it is: https://pokepast.es/d233098bb40d8d5b / https://pokepast.es/1cb8a3830be01044 (2 versions, one has lando i the other has lando t)

Ground was my first love in this generation. I've been struggling to build Ground for a while now but your suggestion of SD Gliscor helped me out a lot and gave me some direction, so thank you very much. I love the dual sires, you can spam hazards and that allows for Gliscor to be more offensive and not have to rely on using substitute and toxic. They are also very good defensively. Iron Treads is good for the fairy matchup as well as removing hazards from our own side. Great Tusk is our speed control and just immediate hard hitter. Landorus-T is good in the flying matchup, but takes a bit of time to get set up, as well as the team not having a special attacker, which is why there is a version with Landorus-I. They both act as a ground immunity which is very helpful in this meta. I went for Psychic over Sludge Wave as it helps with the fighting matchup. Thanks again for your suggestion and I hope you enjoy. The replay is from the tournament match I used this team in, its a solid replay but I only won the game because I got lucky, but a win is a win.

Thanks a lot the team is really fun to play !
Thanks for the work !
 
Hello again. I would like to request a fighting mono-team built around an unburden Hawlucha sweeper (either liechi berry endure, or focus sash swords dance). Thank you in advance!

P.S. I did have a previous request which seemed to go unanswered. If that is an issue, please void that previous request and prioritize this Hawlucha team. Thanks again.
 
Hey mmtaccos here is the team centered around Roaring Moon that plays well against Fairy teams that you requested!

:roaring-moon::ting-lu::muk-alola::darkrai::meowscarada::hoopa-unbound:
https://pokepast.es/9bdd0a399411d58d

Choice Band Roaring Moon is an interesting pick in Monotype. I opted for Dragon Claw over Outrage, so that it would not be locked into any moves and you could freely switch. Earthquake is just great general solid coverage, and U-turn helps the team pick up offensive momentum. Ting-Lu and Alolan Muk are the defensive core of the team. Ting-Lu's EV spread allows it to take Life Orb Close Combat from Iron Valiant after 3 layers of spikes, lives Moonblast from Specs Flutter Mane, and its Rocky Helmet allows it to 1v1 Draining Kiss Hatterene. Ting Lus other main job is to spread hazards, as they are pretty crucial in this metagame. Alolan Muk is the teams special tank, it fills a variety of roles such as scouting Choice'd attackers with Protect, as well as being able to remove items such as Heavy-Duty Boots with Knock Off. If you wanted to go for more of a bulky setup attacker, you could drop Knock Off for Curse. Darkrai is the anti-Flying measure of the team, after a single Nasty Plot it can OHKO the entire type, you just need to watch out for its Choice Scarf users, set it up after those items have been removed. Meowscarada is the standard speed control pick, has access to U-turn creating offensive momentum, and I opted for Play Rough to make mirrors and Fighting a bit easier to handle. Hoopa-Unbound is a great Pokemon overall especially being helping in the Poison and Steel matchups. Let me know if you have any questions regarding the team!

thanks for the team, wdyt about psychic over thunder to help against the fighting mu? it seems pretty bleak rn, although i understand that psychic would weaken the mu against flying teams with water types

requesting a mono dark balance/bo team built around cb moon, i'd prefer if the team had a way to not get 6-0'd by fairies

https://pokepast.es/0ac166637c7eb37c
This is another team, other good and bad things. This AV Hoopa-U allows to 0HKO Flutter Mane while also taking Keldeo Secret Sword +1. Muk-A is 3HKO by Moonblast specs but helps mainly against Primarina. Fairy MU is pretty easy but you should be able to go through other stuffs. Gren Is 2HK0 Flying teams except spdef Corvi but Hoopa-U and Roaring Moon are destroying the bird. Archa could be a bit harsh that's why we are playing Focus Blast on Hoopa-U. For bug MU, we have Mandibuzz. You can slow U-Turn with Mandibuzz and fast against special sponge with Greninja to bring Roaring Moon. Otherwise having a priority helps against scarf Flutter Mane. I've played the team and against dragon, water BO, ghost, fairy you should have options, steel is imo 50/50 needing some anticipations but definitely not impossible and not in steel advantage.

feel free to play around with darkrai's coverage, thunder is meant for things like corviknight. psychic could be nice given most sneasler also on fighting are now air balloon and ohkoing them is always nice.

Hey, I've thought about this with an electric seed allowing you to set up and deal more damages https://pokepast.es/42eb2e733d64ab53 . This Hawlucha set outspeed Dragapult scarf so only Sneasler unburden activated and Barraskewda under rain are faster than you. Throat Chop as coverage allows you to deal with ghosts and Gholdengo in steel. Electric Terrain can also boost Iron Valiant Speed as it doesn't take care of items for stat boost so you can have a specs+scarf Iron Valiant ready to to dig holes.
Otherwise you can go for something like this https://pokepast.es/4197db5d7278e322 with endure liechi berry which is more classic. Ice Punch on Shifu helps with Dnite / Clodsire mainly.

(sorry Roxie this one seemed to be appealing)

requesting a mono poison stall team built around toxapex
Click to expand...
Hi, here is your team: https://pokepast.es/53ddd6f283126535
In general, Stall Poison isn't particularly great but this should help in getting some work done.
Notes about some of the moves/item choices.
We have Curse on AMuk so we can have a possible win condition against types like Ghost and Psychic which can prove to be serve problems otherwise.
Air Balloon TPex gives a temporary Ground immunity and a reliable Ceruledge check. And also be used to help check Azumarill in the Fairy MU by losing Air Balloon early allowing Pex to survive +6 Knock Off/Play Rough from near full (needs to be at 80% to reliably get the haze off when it is in after hazard chip otherwise you are risking the 37.5% chance Knock off OHKOs pex and results in Poison being fully swept)
Glowking's EVs make it as specially bulky as possible while being able to 2HKO Gholdengo with Flamethrower.
Finally CB Sneasler is used giving us some offensive Firepower and Speed Control with Glowking's Future Sight to help break opposing Stall Water teams along with being able to help break through problematic threats such as Hatterene, Primarina, and Ogerpon formes.

thank you!!
 
Requesting a team that with any way has Floatzel. I love him so so so so much and literally any team with him I would love. Preferably choice band could work, built around Swift Swim.
 
I want to request a grass team with my favorite starter and overall grass mon, rillaboom, and for how can we build it...maybe a sun or offensive bulky team could work..but im kinda new on competitive play. But I'm willing to learn it! You can explain how the team works on the same post too. If you like!
 
Hello! Can I get a Water team based around Rotom-Wash as a special attacker sweeper. Bonus points if I can rain dance on the team.
 
I was just going to ask to edit my current team, but I don't think that's allowed... Let me phrase this in a way which is allowed.

BUG TYPES ARE MY FAVOURITE AND I WANT A TEAM BUILT AROUND THEM. My seven favourite bug pokemon are Kleavor, Yanmega, Scizor, Araquinid, Lokix, Forretress, and my absolute favourite is Volcarona, so I definitely want as many as possible (especially Volcarona) on the team.
No stall please! I like having one or two tanky pokemon for status effects and hazards, but that's it. (Not sure bug is good for stall though)

This is a team very sample team oriented. You can play an offensive Volcarona like this or a more bulky one mono attacker Fiery Dance with will o wisp, roost, quiver dance. Otherwise the team is pretty self explained, you set up rocks with Kleavor, sticky web with Araquanid that can also take a kill with Mirror Coat if it's more important. Two priorities with bullet punch and sucker punch. Ice spinner on forretress allows to hit a bit everything and threaten directly Dragapult, Dragonite, Landorus and Gliscor. Forretress helps to glue everything and rapid spin to help everyone. You have some pivot allowing to bring the correct answer to a threat trying to switch on your face.
