BH National Dex Balanced Hackmons

Hi everybody, I am kinda knew to this format. I have a team and am posting it here for anyone who would like to help me.
Sheepy Nonsense + SwordPup Supremacy (pokepast.es)
:Giratina: :Chansey: :Gengar-Mega: :Audino-Mega: :Regigigas: :Zacian-Crowned:
Here is a description of every team member:
Giratina serves as an annoyance user. I gave it knock off and purify to stop pheal mons and knock off in general is pretty good. Its is Level 99 to be slower than most mons, with Heal Order and regen for HP sustainability. Parting Shot is a good utility move and so is Z Parting Shot.

Chansey. You hate it. You use it. Its cool.

Gengar-Mega is a HO mon with judgement to stop imp. One turn of set up is all it needs (none at all actually) and burning bulwark is there too.Malignant Chain is for STAB coverage.

Audino-Mega is pheal mon of my own, Salt Cure for chip, Haze to keep set-up sweepers in check, Glare to be annoying :pip:, and rapid spin for hazards.

Mega Charizard is a tail glow triage oblivion wing set. Electro Drift for coverage and Blue Flare for stab
Regigigas is another pheal mon with Heal Order to keep healthy, tidy up for setup and to clear hazards, facade for dmg, spectral thief to steal boosts and hit ghosts.

Miraidon has strength sap for healing, Rising voltage with the hadron engine, dragon judgement for stab. Tail glow to set up.
Coil Pop Bomb hits all 10 times, becoming 200 Base Power! Coil also boosts attack, and defense. Extreme Speed is for Priority and Heal Order keeps it healthy.

:Zacian-Crowned: @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Pixilate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Substitute
- Coil
- Population Bomb
- Strength Sap

I tried this one and I like it!
I found out Coil can work to raise Accuracy, and Zacian is fast enough without Victory Dance.
It worked to stall out the foe, and Rocky Helmet makes it Imposter proof, (if they switch in as you use Substitute).

It's so much fun! If it hits all 10 times, its 360 base power after STAB + Pixelate.

I also use Rocky Helmet to Imposter proof another one:

:Slaking: @ Wide Lens
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Victory Dance
- Population Bomb
- Heal Order
- Triple Axel

Triple Axel seems weak, but after 3 hits its 120, and after Technician its 180! Wide Lens is for the accuracy, and Technician makes Population Bomb 450 Base Power after STAB! I had so much fun using this set, it seems like a no-brainer.

Dondozo1, I used a similar set for Zacian:

:Zacian-Crowned: @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Pixilate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Coil
- Population Bomb
- Heal Order

Extreme Speed is good for faster threats and in case you haven't set up at least 1 coil. Additionally, Imposter Chansey (Big Imposter) can use Strength Sap and lower your attack stat, so I would Heal Order for consistency and the ability to not lower your own attack stat.

Edit 1: Population Bomb will also ALWAYS hit 10 times as long as you set up 1 coil. It keeps going until it misses, but with 1 coil, it becomes 120 Accuracy, thus impossible to miss.

setdump! none of of them are very janky but theyve been nice to me (this is from oldest to youngest)

:zacian-crowned:
Zacian-Crowned @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Anchor Shot
- Strength Sap
- Court Change / Tidy Up
- Salt Cure

levitate has a couple of funny perks like letting you almost ignore hazards and taking half from mirai voltage. u deal with most regigigas easily while still preforming trapper zacian duties reasonably well. on the other hand you dont rly beat many people straight up but u cheat by being zacian so its fine.

:ferrothorn:
Ferrothorn @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Ice Scales
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Anchor Shot
- Topsy-Turvy
- Parting Shot
- Heal Order

checks mirai checks fairies both conditionally. blanks primsea dragons. the clearshot is to selfproof but again, u can just uturn and improof with pdon or smth. if u run like anchor spectral without pivot u suck since ur the biggest momentum sink ever.

:groudon-primal:
Groudon @ Red Orb
Ability: Intrepid Sword
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- V-create
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stone Axe
- Strength Sap

fujiyama volcano 2.0 (i guess). barring uhh, ph dragons with removal and opposing mspin pdon nothing actually denies this guy particularly well. v consistent rocker and general doer of things.

:lunala:
Lunala @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Lax Nature
- Infernal Parade / Hex
- Glare
- Lumina Crash
- Low Kick / Collision Course

u should probably run ccourse since lowkick on pagos is 80 bp. i think this thing can be pretty annoying tho. most mgar checks are not holding covert cloak unless they resist ghost (in which case they eat glare and get slammed by ccourse/32pp low kick) and lunala does appreciate that. lax is intentional u take knocks/specthiefs better, handle certain mmx sets better, and hit imposter harder while not nerfing the fighting move its pretty cool.

:mewtwo-mega-x:
Mewtwo-Mega-X @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spikes
- Combat Torque
- Knock Off
- Noxious Torque

another hazard setter not much rly wants to mess with. imposter does not enjoy fighting u but in case u poison it with ntorque on accident probably have a backup plan. otherwise between dual status knock off and high atk you can find room to setup spikes without that much issue.

:miraidon:/:eternatus:
Miraidon / Eternatus @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Rocky Helmet
Ability: Fur Coat
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Core Enforcer / Sludge Bomb
- Will-O-Wisp
- Volt Switch
- Strength Sap / Heal Order

this is a giant pivot thats pretty annoying to sdef grounds because u have willowisp. mirai softchecks most mmx thanks to outspeeding it and having ssap. etern on the other hand is fatter and more annoying cuz sludge bomb and deals with zacian better but explodes to mmx geyser. maybe u want healorder on etern since its hp is giant but imo ssap is part of the appeal on these fat fc pivots. (the takeaway is that wisp is broken)

:groudon-primal:
Groudon @ Red Orb
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Take Heart
- Torch Song
- Revelation Dance
- Strength Sap

dont ask why. think if u pair this with tspikes it becomes a giant pain since it scares every tspikes absorber and once the sdef guy is poisoned it can just mash torch song and be a huge ass to deal with. and otherwise pdon with sdef is just a huge presence. wish it can have both icebeam and revdance but whatver.

:zacian crowned:
Zacian-Crowned @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Covert Cloak
Ability: Primordial Sea
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Fishious Rend
- Flip Turn
- Precipice Blades
- Strength Sap

i think the reason why people dont run pivot zacian is just that its not immediately threatening enough without giving up longevity by running band (pixibomb+uturn is kinda weird tho is probably just fine while any other offensive set is probably sd 2a. trapping obviously is never uturn.) this on the other hand brings in their scrubby fc walls for your guys to go in against pretty effortlessly and also chips down said fc walls. pblades is obviously for pdon.

:celesteela:
Celesteela @ Rocky Helmet / Covert Cloak / Sky Plate / Leftovers / Flame Plate Judgment / etc
Ability: Triage
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Tail Glow
- Oblivion Wing
- Toxic / Lava Plume / Spikes / etc
- Strength Sap

still goated. u check every physical guy aside from giant vcreate users, checks certain special guys as well. hazard resistant. functions as a pretty sweet wincon. cleans random ladder teams. the 3rd moveslot can make you even more annoying to deal with or just fill in something your team wants like spikes. minspeed is to underspeed spectral so u snipe with boosted owing next turn. i do think u want strength sap but historically even that slot has been very flexible so who knows what could go there.

ban opulse and hadron, protean i wont mind going but idt its as big as the other two. i think pagos is fine? it has its fair share of weaknesses.

Hadron Engine and Terapagos-Stellar are BANNED
:miraidon: since its inception, hadron engine has been extremely strong on miraidon, granting it one of the strongest special moves in the game and practically necessitating a specially defensive ground or the combination of imposter and a a dragon resist, the latter of which relies on prediction. because of how restricting it is on the teambuilder in combination with different special attackers like gengar-mega who can just slap it on as a beads of ruin clone that also boosts volt switch, it was deemed unhealthy and quickbanned.
:terapagos-stellar: terapagos was definitely on the watchlist when it appeared, and it has proven itself to be the best special wall in the game, sporting hefty 160/110/110 bulk and mononormal which makes it very difficult to hit supereffectively. in addition, it's not passive like nonimp chansey due to its access to 130 spa boomburst which does respectable damage to nonscales, nonvest nonresists. this combination almost forces special attackers to go mixed or run some kind of stallbreaking move like toxic or taunt, which was also deemed unhealthy and quickbanned. (also tea guzzler found after we voted that you can't transform into it which makes it mega broken)

:koraidon: orichalcum pulse on paper is even more threatening than hadron due to sun boosting fire by 1.5x and vcreate having a much higher bp, but the best abusers (zacc, mmx) lack the stab to really make it stick. considering the physically defensive fire resists we have in addition to primordial sea zacc being a decent check to oripulse users, weve decided to hold off for now.
:meowscarada::cinderace: protean/libero are certainly strong with the ability to add stab to the likes of vcreate, bolt strike, headlong, cc, rend, and glance on the physical side and moongeist, fleur, electro drift, ice beam, and volt switch on the special side. this can be leveraged by the likes of mmx/mmy to do huge amounts of damage to a defensive core given it predicts right. however, due to the good physical walls like arceus, slowbro-mega, groudon-primal, and zygc; special walls like arceus, kyogre-primal, and zacc; and that you can scout with pheal very easily, we didnt find protean/libero to be broken enough to quickban it yet.
these are not fixed decisions btw we might take action on both of these in the future

I think the wrong form got banned, also I'm kinda surprised no one else noticed
