I was able to fine-tune this team during the first two cycles of the OLT. I climbed the ladder with it without ever going past 1600, but I believe the team has the potential to go higher. Unfortunately, I won’t have much time to play in the next OLT cycles, so I’m sharing it with you.
PS: I made this drawing to represent the team, I hope you like it as much as I do.


Lokix (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Tinted Lens
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
  • First Impression
  • U-turn
  • Knock Off
  • Leech Life
Lokix has been widely used on the ladder, and I find it really cool, so I decided to join the party. This is the classic Choice Band set, giving it a strong priority with First Impression, as well as a very powerful Knock Off.


Samurott-Hisui (F) @ Black Glasses
Ability: Sharpness
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 80 SpD / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
  • Swords Dance
  • Ceaseless Edge
  • Aqua Cutter
  • Sucker Punch
For Lokix to put proper pressure, it’s even better when there are entry hazards on the field, which is why I added Hisuian Samurott to the team. I run the Swords Dance set to have the chance to one-shot +2 Ogerpon-W, as well as nearly one-shot Kyurem—two Pokémon that are very threatening for the team. Since switching into Shadow Ball can be tricky, I’ve invested a bit more in Samurott-H’s SpD while still keeping 250 Spe to outspeed Raging Bolt.


Ogerpon (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 232 HP / 88 Atk / 188 Spe
Adamant Nature
  • Ivy Cudgel
  • Spiky Shield
  • Encore
  • Spikes
Here’s a set I came up with—a bulky set with Spiky Shield + Encore. Ogerpon is very useful early-game, especially against Focus Sash Hisuian Samurott leads; thanks to Spiky Shield, you can break the sash and then one-shot with Ivy Cudgel. Ogerpon can easily set up Spikes with Encore, which makes hazard stacking even easier, since Samurott-H is mainly a sweeper here.


Slowking-Galar (F) @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 208 Def / 52 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
  • Nasty Plot
  • Psyshock
  • Trick
  • Sludge Bomb
Next, we have Galarian Slowking, which serves as a counter to Zamazenta and can also catch opponents off guard with Nasty Plot and Trick. The 248 HP and 52 SpD investment allows it to better tank Life Orb Tornadus-T, which is very dangerous for this team. The remaining EVs are put into Defense so it can handle Zamazenta’s Crunch or Stone Edge more comfortably.


Iron Treads @ Leftovers
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 152 Atk / 184 Def / 172 Spe
Jolly Nature
  • Stealth Rock
  • Rapid Spin
  • Earthquake
  • Ice Spinner
Iron Treads fills several key roles the team needs: setting up Stealth Rock and controlling hazards with Rapid Spin. Its typing is also defensively valuable, and here I’m running a Defense-oriented spread to better handle threats like Kingambit or Dragonite. With 152 Atk, it has just enough power to help in the Dragonite matchup—using Rapid Spin first to boost Speed and break the multi-scale on a potential Dragon Dance, then outspeeding and threatening to one-shot Dragonite with Ice Spinner.


Moltres @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 216 HP / 28 Atk / 228 SpD / 36 Spe
Sassy Nature
  • Flamethrower
  • Roost
  • Brave Bird
  • Roar
Finally, I opted for Moltres, which can switch into most special attackers and punish Pokémon trying to pivot with U-turn thanks to Flame Body. On top of that, Roar as the last move works very well with our hazard-stacking strategy.
