Overqwil Rain Team !!! (which i am currently at top 18, 1843 elo). Special merits about this team:
- The GOAT Overqwil himself.
- The OG Pursuit Scizor (catch Dragapult off-guard)
- Sandsear Storm Lando (troll Koko Dual Screen setters and fish burns in general).

Edit: Here’s the team: https://pokepast.es/a3875dba091c1fc7

Ultra big teamdump
Today is my birthday. After a disappointing 1-6 finish from me in NDBD I have come to show what I’ve been doing during my losing streak. I’m posting my teams here instead of the ndbd teamdump thread because I also built teams that I enjoyed that weren’t for the tour along with my entire builder.

https://pokepast.es/100a7b62ce027e9f
This team was an earlier team I built, but it was used by SHSP in NDBD for a win. The idea was an offense that uses hazard stacking to support the offensive pressure in zama / mtios

https://pokepast.es/038c989db92f2db8
Used against About15gals for the rigged tour, had an excellent matchup. Mola is insane and mdia + Kyu along with it ensure the balance mu is very good

https://pokepast.es/7fd8f913c91f95f9
Funny svou fat I was planning to load in g3 of the above mentioned rigged game, loses hard to waterpon but should be manageable to play otherwise.

https://pokepast.es/1f89075a7935d8bf
Cool team with lo clef that I was planning to bring week 1 of ndbd. Struggles vs. certain balance but in the right matchup it gets the job done.

https://pokepast.es/409755085452ddd7
My first version of tinkaton sun, which is a good mon on the structure to make the matchup vs. fairies like lele / ival and dragons like bolt / the occasional Kommo o better.

https://pokepast.es/d0b7f7bdafb67ace
Used by SPHZ in week one of ndbd for a narrow win. Just a standard tarval structure that attempts to mitigate the weakness to chip damage like spikes with Mola.

https://pokepast.es/5e376214151f9e88
Was unironically going to load this in ndbd against lbn. Another variant of this also won a portion of a nd rigged game.

https://pokepast.es/30f0e65b0cb07cdc
Wanted to use meow as a tspike setter and have some trappers to help eliminate pex and gking. SHSP was planning to use this week 1 of ndbd but we switched it up

https://pokepast.es/47391ff607603efd
This was my favorite build from ndbd, took inspiration from the prime pult team in sv. Prima is cool and if you can click with crown / hsam early then you are golden with this team

https://pokepast.es/eb948b20edce01fa
This is what shsp actually used week 1 of ndbd, kinda bad but it gets the job done if u want to cteam offense.

https://pokepast.es/d010b4b6562808eb
Interesting bootspam that uses boots lele as the main wincon with hazard stacking elements and pult for speed control

https://pokepast.es/0017dda1d9d71799
What I actually used vs. LBN in ndbd, just a straight ssnd rip that I found fun to pilot

https://pokepast.es/109ded91c4f79b49
ORAS pilled team that uses fog kart to alliveate most teams’ weakness to Gliscor and ferro hazard stacking cores.

https://pokepast.es/e8a6ac372fd12b2b
Lokix sure is funny, and is quite annoying to play against with offense, especially with pult and Mola continuously bringing it in.

https://pokepast.es/4fef0c453995cd62
The idea was Subtect Kyu under snow with pursuit support in order to beat dengo / pult easier for Kyu. Dd pult is the main wincon while also being extra insurance vs. sub pult.

https://pokepast.es/7139c0af20f573b1
Hsam is already powerful, so what if it was boosted further by sd? This was the beginning of my ace glaze, and it performs well on these kinds of balances if you are losing the hazard war.

https://pokepast.es/cf159aeeb01eff5c
I wanted to try Mmaw because it does have interesting traits in having more immediate power than gambit and being able to slam fightings easier, plus intimidate is funny. Colbur bro is cool tech for gambit

https://pokepast.es/74f5dbcb500ab365
Used by SPHZ in ndbd to a win. Scarf shifu is a good pick in this meta because of its good matchup vs. ting-lu bo and gambit offense, and it really shines with an offensive partner in mtios, which takes advantage of Pokémon like Toxapex and Zapdos.

https://pokepast.es/2afcb78f134eb465
Came up with the idea with this team in class lmao, funny idea if you can pull it off against Mola balance and Mola is broken anyway so it’s bound to pull through in some matchups. Be cautious of the inherent cheese though.

https://pokepast.es/307265b0418bc3d1
Another attempt at ace balance, this time with inspiration from CTC. This team does have good matchups vs. opposing hazard stack, but it may struggle vs. wisp pult though.

https://pokepast.es/7b24add95262dbf6
Used by SHSP in ndbd. It’s my take on webs which in my opinion are pretty decent atm.

https://pokepast.es/905a8a52ee948a2a
Used by one of my friends in seasonal, who used it for a godly mu vs. psyspam. Otherwise it’s a pretty cool bootspam that tries to offset the passive nature of the playstyle

https://pokepast.es/7b72c3a6b96910f1
I wanted to try specs pult, and ace + lele seemed like a good core to pair it with. Pursuit is also pretty nice with specs pult and lele in general. This was also used by one of my friends in rigged tour

https://pokepast.es/f005b0647a7cc53b
Standard core of chomp / zap / lele / ferro that tries to offset fog zap’s issues in Gliscor (cm lele) and Ghold (chomp, offtran, lop)

https://pokepast.es/00590e50e97bcd00
Another attempt at Mmaw but this time it uses 4a and fly z zap to support it in breaking things like Gliscor and pex

https://pokepast.es/222b0bbed349c935
Used in my game vs. kate. Keldeo in rain is meant to solve issues vs. kgb while also being a good momentum gainer and breaker. Sun mu is a toss up between who can play better

https://pokepast.es/e34f05dc83bc97f2
Standard hsam bo that uses fsight lele to help double water breakers in beating things like pex, rbolt. and dnite.

https://pokepast.es/9dc0432e3db54cdb
Used by SPHZ in ndbd. Another take on Tinka Sun that used Rock z tusk is to lure Zapdos and more importantly Moltres. This also was used by miyoko for a convincing win.

https://pokepast.es/e51bbbaa43e6da62
A little weak to Tspikes, but it’s a standard offense that uses the core of Mmedi + pursuit to win vs. most defensive cores. Used by SPHZ in ndbd

https://pokepast.es/55ca8004a101a603
Used by SHSP in ndbd. Standard bo beat that uses pads shifu to safely turn on helm pex / Zapdos into kyurem and consistently gain offensive pressure.

https://pokepast.es/9e2cf74b283d2bf4
Av Mola is funny cheese if you can pull it off. Flip turn on pex / opposing Mola into kyu and start winning while also sniping yards and opposing kyurem with mirror coat.

https://pokepast.es/1e55eef611bc58a8
Funny mu fish team that I just wanted to have fun with, but it is fun to pilot. I used this vs. Hidin in ndbd because the week / season didn’t matter atp.

https://pokepast.es/d55a291b311e2022
Used a few times in seasonal. Just a funny ho that is good against ting / mola / Moltres balance because of Prima, sub dd dnite, etc.

https://pokepast.es/c427406a48583ffc
A structure based on Oras / sm balances. It’s a little weak to Volcarona but it pilots well vs. pex / tran bo

https://pokepast.es/bb35edcd36f51d15
This is an sv pilled build that uses an interesting tech in synthesis oger to give it more longevity vs. hazards and maybe even avoid a revenge kill from certain threats.

https://pokepast.es/115885ba39850c85
This was the beginning of my ting lu + Gliscor addiction. It’s a hazard stack that uses Slowbro as a tusk check and msciz as the built up wincon.

https://pokepast.es/47357574b3f50d7c
A ss-inspired build that uses av lele and Weav as the breakers and dnite as the main wincon.

https://pokepast.es/31f9245a4c29f954 / https://pokepast.es/844d27e99e64dcd9
2 variations of the same team but with different sets so take your pick. I wanted to build Mmedi with a solid defensive core, so ferro and Ghold were natural partners.

https://pokepast.es/b2e6ead81b25f515
Another spike stacking offense, but this time with specs pult so it beats things like tran and melm easier.

https://pokepast.es/3885507116ef97a1
Used by shsp in ndbd. I wanted to try av Hatt after some people in the discord were talking about it, and sd gambit (something weaker to lele) was a good partner in that case.

https://pokepast.es/d667164c9a8e48c3
A remake of one of the first teams I made in the meta. Very standard but it won its ndbd game piloted by sphz.

https://pokepast.es/0b2582b350d12bfc
Used vs. lameflame in seasonal. I wanted to actually win this game to prove myself so I wanted to use something good into his scout, which I found was full of zama and tornt so I wanted to use sd gambit + pex in that case

https://pokepast.es/06b6198b91919d67
ANOTHER attempt at Mmaw, but this time I think I nailed the structure. I wanted to exploit the 100% ting-lu / 50% ish gking usage I saw from lameflame’s balance stuff in the past so I just loaded maw and lo and behold I loaded right into that!

https://pokepast.es/1ba29e443b3df13d
I was hugely inspired by the stuff lf brought vs. me and I realized np tornt is broken on the right structure so I just cooked this and it does decent. Aegis is like offghold if it had more bulk and slightly more immediate power

https://pokepast.es/4a693ca2074cf35b
Used by shsp in ndbd. He wanted to go a yard angle in his game that week so I just built a more balanced sun structure and it worked.

https://pokepast.es/87c25e486c9a45b2
I used this vs. Omar in ndbd. I wanted to use fire z np tornt because I fell in love with that set but then I loaded into tect heatran + Rotom wash and my day was ruined. With some luck though I pulled through for my only win in the tour.

https://pokepast.es/6eb6473c062ab6b3
Standard lele chomp bo, nothing much to say.

https://pokepast.es/9951ef559de99e77
Simple mtios + ival core with offtran to exploit Ghold / Mola balance.

https://pokepast.es/c014c089da422abb
Used this vs. Sealoo in ndbd but because I’m bad I lost a completely winnable mu. I took inspiration from Omar’s build last week. Fun team tho

https://pokepast.es/8b345f309dfb10e1
I farmed my own team with this in a roomtour LMFAOOO but either way I took an inspiration from a SPL build and this worked decently.

https://pokepast.es/ee181b583f3b0f0c
Did pretty well vs. arty in tests but this build was definitely not my best work. Just another attempt at making lokix work.

https://pokepast.es/2c5dbaadc9868896
Was inspired by a Chrispbacon build and used a double bulky water core with ferro for some true evil.

https://pokepast.es/6fdadb587a9d6b0e
Was planning to use this vs. Sealoo to beat some Glisc ferro team with serp but it felt too weak to Tox Gliscor anyway with Serp as the only cplay.

https://pokepast.es/6c5e919bdaa34cd8
SPL build that I stole that works well because band Weav and drag z bolt can fit due to fog tornt.

Of course, this is not all of my ideas. You can find my entire builder from the beginning of no Tera meta (it has box sets and troll teams so be wary) here to see what other untested builds and whatnot I’ve been cooking. Shoutouts to SHSP and SPHZ for trusting my builds enough in NDBD. Im probably just gonna chill until I get back in the sweatshop for ndwc, until then I will see you all later.

Love It. Why Band Scizor over the GOAT Daddy MegaScizor?

Speaking of Mega-Scizor, I finally got my Mega Scizor Rain to work. Here it is!

https://pokepast.es/b6883faca46f9e04

Pretty brainless. I gave zero thought to the fat matchup because who cares. This team is just lay rocks and pivot until you win/lose. It is scummy and it works. The GOAT Breakers are Sam-H and Raging Neck. Big Daddy Sciz just does big daddy things like wall everything and win.

For the weird Lando set, Psychic / Psychium Z has four targets - lead Glimmora, Great Tusk, Zamazenta, and Hawlucha. Zama is the only one that lives Shattered Psychic (it takes 75%).

Dahness · Feb 17, 2025

I was always a BIG Roaring Moon fan, so as soon as it got freed, i got to testing it inside many teams. Out of all of those, i have found this team to be very effective and strong.

https://pokepast.es/23409830fb61c33d

:sm/roaring-Moon:

Dragon Dance z sets are the best imo. They have the capability of brute forcing their way through most of the figthing types that give rmoon trouble( except valiant) and can offer a great nuke option against a lot of mons. The idea of this team is for Roaring Moon to lure mons like tusk, zama, lop and chomp, blast off with a z at +1 and then let Gambit ravage the team now that the mons it fears the most are gone due to rmoon's z move nuke.

:sm/kingambit:

This mon is just great, and it works as a great late game cleaner once all of its checks are gone.Low Kick is there for other gambits and ttars mainly, but can also be great against roaring moon.

:sm/iron-treads:

Get rocks up, maybe deal some damage with eq or just force ur opponent into an awkward position by killing your treads with steel beam.Great mon to have around.

:sm/ceruledge:

Funniest set on the team imo.I do not have any form of removal on this team for a reason, and that's to make people think my ceru's would be focus sash is not gonna take effect because it has been damaged by stealth rocks.Big surprise to my opp as i endure against a super effective hit and receive a weak armor boost and activate weakness policy. This is either game ending or it cripples the opposing team enough to where its too late for the opponent do come back from the whole Ceruledge has punched through their team.

:sm/zamazenta:

I think idbp zama is very underated which is funny, cuz its still a great set. Yeah, it can't tera out of certain weaknesses anymore, but it is still a goated set.Really good late game cleaner.

:sm/ogerpon-cornerstone:

Lemme tell you, people don't give this form the love it deserves.With the rise of sun teams. Cornerstone might be the greatest counter to them. Its 2 powerful stabs cleave through everything sun is running, and leading with this against a sun teams ensures you will at least do good chip against a few of their mons.120 bp rock stab that doesn't miss is no joke.

Forces you into a lot of awkward plays if you lost treads. Your best bet is to sack something to bring cornerstone in and revenge kill it or predict the lele coming in and switch into cornerstone. If you still got treads you are gucci.
:ogerpon-wellspring:

If its sp it can annihilate gambit and rmoon, if its playrough it still gives rmoon a hard time. If you see wellspring, you gotta keep ur zama healthy and try to punish it later by switching the dog in against wellspring and starting to set up iron defense.

There are probs a few others that give this team trouble, but this is what gave me the most trouble while laddering with this team.

Have fun with the team, i defo had fun testing it and getting it to the stage its at rn.

Sample Submission
(Even though I have no idea whether submissions are open or not)
Cb Zama + Av Gambit BO

Probably one of the better teams I've made that I've had a lot of fun using on ladder. Zama functions a strong speed control Mon while cb allows it to break through most physical walls, 2hkoing most. Lando compresses a lot of roles into one as a defensive pivot and rocker (Flyinium let's it deal with mvenu who is rlly strong into the team), waterpon means breaking through stall is possible and gambit is checks or switches into majority of the tiers special attackers. Moltres is another physical defensive pivot that is able to deal with most ironpress zama variants and most tusk variants, both of whom would otherwise do well into the team. Raging bolt acts as the primary switch in for yard and double priority in the team makes up for the lack of speed present within the team.

Few replays on ladder:

ComputerWhiz · Feb 26, 2025

Sample Submission

AV Bolt BO

One of the better structures to come out of the post tera landscape. Future Port + Zamazenta is an incredible breaking duo that forces progress against most common cores. Opting for Heavy Slam here makes Iron Valiant (after booster is used or confirmed not scarf) and Tapu Lele (can live one Scarf Moonblast from full) easier. AV Raging Bolt is able to serve as an incredibly reliable Charizard-Y check, with this spread taking 4x scorching sands no problem, and speed creeping adamant gambit. If Zamazenta isn't able to find a position to come in, Mawile can also do very well with future sight backup, and makes better long term progress with knock off if you can't break through immediately. Also gives us some priority with sucker punch easing certain matchups and cleaning up if needed. Terapagos as the spinner. Ended up opting for ice beam since Gliscor can be quite a headache, and cleaning up birds is nice, but flamethrower is also fine to remove Ferrothorn. Landorus less speed invest to win U-turn wars vs other Landorus, and is still able to taunt relevant mons like Alomomola, Ferrothorn, Corviknight, etc. This 6 has seen multiple games in NDBD, so it's proven in tournament play and I've had decent success with it in testing/ladder/room tours.

Replays:

Week 2 NDBD Foolycl vs Darkness 789

Week 5 NDBD Tempo di anguria vs Sealoo (slight adjustments with z zama and flamethrower pagos)

(Peak ~ 1820 elo)

I love Zydog’s designs so much and I had been testing it multiple time since the pre Tera Ban era but the result was miserable. After the recent Dragapult ban, I think Zydog can work as an OK Cleaner now. Solid 115 Speed + Strong Signature Move allow it to threaten some common balance & offense team structures (Diancie HO, Sun ….) with the right support. So this is my team (still WIP) :

Dddddsf · Mar 21, 2025

Hello all! I decided to make a balanced ish sample team. Here’s the breakdown:
https://pokepast.es/607dae0669a5a39a

Landorus-T: this is the lead Pokemon. It’s given sash to get stealth rocks off if hit with a faster mon like Ogerpon-Wellspring or scarf Rotom Wash. If it survives a hit, it can use explosion for a surprise KO on your opponent.

Raging Bolt: boots or vest works here. I gave it defense EVs to try and tank a garchomp earthquake. Otherwise it’s a typical pivot raging bolt set. Thunderbolt does massive damage to dondozo.

Terapagos: rapid spin helps it gain the speed advantage over mons like garchomp, tapu koko, and ogerpon. Flamethrower and ice beam are great coverage for Scizor, ferrothorn, goos or, and other landorus. Tera starstorm also does nice chip damage to clefable and slowbro.

Ogerpon: trailblaze helps it out speed zamazenta. With sturdy, you can get a swords dance up and do massive damage to zamazenta and ivy cudgel ohko’s Moltres.

Mega Gyarados: I made this Gyarados bulky to tank volt-turns from pivoting Pokémon. One dragon dance can outspeed most mons. Earthquake does massive damage and a dragon dance boosted earthquake can ohko clodsire. aqua tail and crunch are good stab options. Waterfall, ice fang, or taunt also works well.

Heatran: this is the tank. It can poison big threats with toxic and roar out any setup sweepers or hazard setup.

Notable Weaknesses:
This team is in trouble if facing specs kyurem. Ogerpon is the only one who has a chance to handle it.

Heatran is OHKO’d by any earthquake user due to roar’s priority. use Gyarados, terapagos, or landorus to negate the damage.

Gyarados with plus one dragon dance is still 3 points slower than max speed Tapu Koko. It’s bulk can help, but won’t guarantee its survival if koko doesn’t pivot out.

Scarf zamazenta can cause problems as there are no moves on the team that do super effective damage. Since terapagos can learn psychic, you could swap flamethrower or ice beam to deal with it.

Ive had fun using this team and I hope it serves you all well.

Spookcooke · Mar 31, 2025

Cm Clef + Mega Latios Balance (Sample Submission)

Latios-Mega is a very useful offensive wallbreaker and defensive piece for the team, blanketing checks like Ogerpon-Wellspring while being just a generally threatening offensive presence. Zamazenta is good speed control and helps with checking Pokemon such as Hisuian Samurott. CM Clefable can absolutely farm certain teamstyles and it appreciates Mtios and Gliscor threatening Toxapex and Heatran. Gliscpex is a fantastic defensive core for the team, with Gliscor being a great progress maker via spikes and Toxapex walling pokemon like Mega Charizard Y. Tinkaton is here due to its useful ability to check the ever-threatening Tapu Lele while having a good niche in being able to outspeed and paralyze Gholdengo, should it become an issue.

Hello everyone! Here I am with a post featuring a cool team I made and had success with! Therefore I'm glad to present you my team:

Choice Band Zamazenta Team:
:Terapagos:

https://pokepast.es/a1c808f84f66fbff

➤ Without further ado, let me represent you every Pókemon in this team and its roles:

:Terapagos:

Tarapagos mainly serves as the bulky Rapid Spin user on the team. With the help of its Normal type and its great natural bulk, it can take hits. What`s most impressive is that it has the ability Tera Shell, letting it able to make the first hit it takes as "not very effective" against it. I set for it Modest power for more offensive pressure. It hasSTAB Tera Star Storm, Ice Beam for Ground and Flying types (mainly Gliscor) and Earth Power for Poison and Steel types (mainly Gholdengo and Toxapex).

:Zamazenta:

Zamazenta serves as the immediate power of thuis team thanks to his impeccable speed and Choice Band, boosting its great 120 physical Attack even further. It has a devastating STAB Close Combat, coveragelike Stone Edge for Flying types (mainly Zapdos and Moltres), Crunch for Psychic and Ghost types (like Gholdengo, Slowbro and Glowking) and for last, but not least we have here Ice Fang for Dragon, Ground and Flying types (for example Gliscor and Clodsire). Plus it has Dauntless Shield that activates (for at least) the first round to have its defense boosted by 1 stage, being (even more) able to tank some hits.

:Heatran:

In this team, Heatran doesn't only have a role as a speciall wall but also as a (possible) stallbreaker of the team. It has STAB Magama Storm to trap opponents, Earth Power for coverage against opponents like Toxapex, Clodsire and another Heatran. It also has Toxic for passive damage against the opponent, you can use it whenever you think your opponent is gonna switch out OR to passively damage your trapped opponent (If that Pókemon isn't a Poison type).

:Landorus-Therian:

I don't think I need to explain myself that much for this Pókemon. Landorus-Therian has Intimidate (being very efficient against physical Pókemon), serves as the Electric immunity of the team, sets Stealth Rock for the team and hast Rocky Helmet for passive damage if the opponent's Pókemon make contact with it with whatever move it uses. Overall, Landorus-Therian is played here as a physically bulky Pókemon (like "always") with pivoting option with U-Turn.

:Ogerpon-Wellspring:

Just like Landorus-Therian, Ogerpon serves as a pivoting option with U-Turn. However, unlike Landorus-Therian, it serves as an OFFENSIVE pivot with STAB Ivy Cudgel (It's a Water type move in this case), Power Whip (You COULD go with Horn Leech for recovery) and Knock Off, removing the opponent's item. Because of its held item, its moves are powerd by a 1.2 multiplicator, boosting its already great offensive capabilities further.

:Tapu Lele:

Tapu Lele serves as the speed control of the team, being able to outspeed Zamazenta and many others without Choice Scarf or any speed boost. It has Psychic Surge, boosting its STAB Psyshock (Psyshock instead of Psychic for surprising specially bulky tanks). It also has STAB Moonblast and Coverage of Focus Blast and Hidden Power Fire for Steel Pókemon (mainly Heatran and Gholdengo).

SAMPLE SUGGESTION

Zard X BO

https://pokepast.es/78112b15b7ca9de6
I’ve been loving this team a lot lately and it’s coming out to be pretty successful on ladder and I think it has some serious sample potential. Zard, rilla and koko make a great core as rilla’s grassy terrain weakens eq and residually heals off flare blitz recoil on Zard X and Koko provides some great switch in opportunities. Imagine being a ferro being ready to wall and boom, you’re facing a heatran In front of you. Ghold’s just there as a quick damage dealer and wallbreaker while tusk’s there for spinning. Power gem on tran’s there to catch Zard Y’s off guard as it with this set doesn’t get ohko’d by a non crit scorching sands. As well Zard X generally has a good surprise factor in the current meta as everyone expects Zard y.

I have a confession to make. I'm sick of playing hyper offense. I'm sick of playing hyper offense but i cant hit the peaks ive hit without using it. This team feels super consistent and unga bunga.

peaked top 100

(not the peak, i missed that screenshot)
soundtrack
https://pokepast.es/ad557bc0f77ff35f

does glimmora things, dazzling gleam helps with tusk but gem might be better. ep is essential for ghold

:kingambit:

is also self explanatory. if their kingambit is faster with low kick you have so many choices besides gambit.

:ceruledge:

is your spin blocker and your u turn punisher. smack em hard but dont get greedy with the dancing.

:ogerpon_wellspring:

is your insurance against unaware guys and gliscor. the easiest way to lose to gliscor (theres many ways to lose to it, its one of the most annoying mons for this team) is to let this guy specifically get toxic'd.

:landorus_therian:

is a train you cant stop once it gets going with this set, as long as you scout hp ice.

:iron_valiant:

this coverage is only walled by clod and glowking, its a good early breaker most of the time and it helps you against your weakest matchups in :charizard_mega_y:

and in forcing chip on :gliscor:

for someone else

one more game to get 1800

just threw away the game by timing out lol

worst beat ever created (prod. mismagius)

Hey guys, lately I've realized there was a shitty-ghost-type shaped hole in my heart after kingambit came back and ruined mban for basically the rest of eternity. So i plumbed the depths of the builder to bring you only the highest quality of shitmons, with today's focus being Mismagius, the kind of forgettable ghost type from gen4. I'm making a more in-depth RMT on this later once I iron out some of the kinks with this team, but I'm posting this more WIP version right now on forums beforehand (i'll link the updated rmt later when its actually done)

@

Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 112 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex
- Pain Split
- Substitute

Going to go into a LOT more depth on this in the actual rmt, all you need to know right now is levitate is extremely good. evs are for tusk but going for kyurem works asw. sub + split is a pain in the ass for a lot of teams to deal with

@

Ability: Good as Gold
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 84 SpD / 60 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hex
- Thunder Wave
- Focus Blast
- Recover

I love boots ghold. great long term lele check and also great at harrassing moltres/glisc/alo with hex. standard bulky evs because they're really good. dont let this guy get knocked and you're chilling.

@

Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Spikes
- Body Press
- Knock Off
- Synthesis

This guy is so goated, walling yard shifu pon and gambit in a single slot is geniunely amazing compression, and getting spikes to boot is great. spreads knock and also walls most standard ghold sets once they've burnt Z. just all around sleeper mon

@

Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 244 HP / 36 Def / 228 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Protect

It's gliscor, you know what this guy does. Never dies, sets rocks, spams toxic, all the good stuff.

@

Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 136 Def / 124 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Toxic Spikes
- Haze
- Recover

Perennially one of my favorite pokemon in the format, i love this guy to death. Pretty rock standard mon but it's also just extremely consistent. Tspikes over toxic because tspikes just obliterate a lot of common HO structures

@

Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Calm Mind
- Flamethrower
- Soft-Boiled

CM Clef is a phenomal wincon, especially because a lot of people just don't expect it, you can boost on a lot of stuff and snowball really hard. Flamethower over knock because i hate ghold and ferro.

also pokeaim/blunder if you're gonna use my silly teams in natdex please just like send me a dm prior i dont want to learn about this shit via a room reg :pray:
