The core that Ferrothorn is paired with really kinda decides whether it wants to get burnt or switch in on a future sight, (or so they think ;])

A pretty simple lure, as ferrothorn is one of the best koko answer, as it can spike /leech seed/koff smth if the koko choose to click smth else than volt switch. Note that it will not OHKO, but it will force ur opponent to not rely on ferro to handle koko, and then you'll be able to click something that isn't Volt-Switch.

After an hp fire, ferro isnt a reliable switch in anymore and you can overwhelm it by just clicking an electric move.

Weavile @ Bluk Berry
Ability: Pickpocket
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Triple Axel
- Knock Off
- Natural Gift
Did you even know how Natural Gift worked? It's BP and type depend on the Berry the user is holding. The strongest Fire-type Berry is Watmel which doesn't exist in SS, so we will be using Bluk Berry instead, giving us a 90 BP single use Fire-type move, perfect for not only Ferrothorn but also a potential Mega-Scizor which would use U-turn in Weavile or a full Def Corviknight. You can also use Occa Berry, which has 80 BP instead of 90, but might be useful to endure a Fire-type move if you don't need Natural Gift anymore

Whirlpool GKing by emillight !
You must be thinking I am stupid (I am), why would you ever replace a move in a mon that sometimes suffers from 4MSS? This is Lure the Threat, we don't care about anything else but the threat.
Mega Zard-Y does not only have a terrifying SpA of 159, but also an average 104 Atk, which coupled with Sun and STAB, can do some interesting things, like today. Slowking-Galar will switch in you, so it will receive a Flamethrower, allowing us to take the KO with a nasty Flare Blitz that takes advantage of the Flamethrower damage + a potential layer of Spikes / Stealth Rock.

Ground Z Greninja by DracoMeteor Ok !Now, I know some of you have been expecting me to send in something like a Liepard or a choice band Meganium set, aadem, but this time I have come with some actually "viable" ideas that even you would like!
*For reference, the set I will be using as the basis for these EV calcs is the OU AssVest set from the Calc:
Without further ado, it's time we introduce our protagonist for this time: An aristocrat whose throne was stolen by a pretenious pink hippo, this green royal is out to reclaim what belongs to him! He's fast, he's furious, and he's got unfinished business...
Serperior's Royal Revenge!
Episode 1: A Vest of Victory!
Serperior's usually known for being a fast, formidable snek, but his grassy cloak is actually pretty stong too!
At long last, Serperior has come to overthrow this poisonous peasant pretending to be pretigious!
Having just enough speed to outspeed Modest MegaZard Y, as well as any other neutral Speed nature'd base 100 Speed, Serperior will still be able to outrun many Pokémon, and there is of course the tasty 252 Special Attack EVs for some sweet snek strength!
The combination of DragonPulse, HP Fire and LeafStorm give Serperior a lot of coverage, with enough bulk to even survive a Megazard Y Flamethrower in sun!
And if he can tank THAT, then anything Glowking can throw will be laughable!
The choice of MirrorCoat is to sneak eliminations on many special attackers who weren't expecting the Serperior to survive the attack, and suddenly have the damage turned right back at 'em!
Episode 2: A Physical Python?!
Please listen to me for a second, I promise it's not that bad!
Serperior has equal attack and special attack, andlike a certain green dinosaurhas better coverage on that side of the spectrum! LeafBlade provides consistent Grass type pain, AquaTail beats these pesky Fire types, and KnockOff of course removes items, and also deals with today's culprit, Glowking!
SwordsDance boosts Serperior's Attack to help his moves do more damage, and guarantees the elimination on Glowking if he has his AssVest intact. Of course, this set has major surprise factor, because nobody expectsthe spanish inquisitiona physical Serperior!
At long last, Serperior has reclaimed his throne from the possession of the purple possessed pretender, which returned to the poisonous swamp hidden within the Crown Tundra, where he always belonged. Peace has returned to the Smogon Kingdom, as all residents cheered and held a party, to the life of their true reptilian emperor.
The end.

it switches into battle bond gren, Cause its fat af, and if you click pulse the man can just switch to a fairy, but not if you ohko it before.

this also counts for fini and normal ashgren checks
Earthquake Char Y by Adib10 !
of course tapu fini would be the best to kill Glowking with its incredible attacking stat
Tapu Fini @ Expert Belt
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 188 HP / 252 Atk / 68 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Whirlpool
- Knock Off
- Nature's Madness
- Taunt / Defog / Anything really
You can run any 4th move as long as you keep adamant/+atk nature.
With Whirlpool on switchin, it will do at least 17% calcing for assault vest. For arguments sake, we could assume that the glowking is max defense, but that would not stop us from KOing it with knock after a natures madness :)
Calcing for the actual set for glowking (AV) is a lot cleaner:
17% from whirlpool, 42% from natures madness, and a monstruous knock off from expertbelt fini will knock it out 100% of the time, of course you can always double knock, but if they have defense investment then you may not KO
252+ Atk Expert Belt Tapu Fini Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Slowking-Galar: 233-276 (59.1 - 70%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
If we were facing max defense Glowking, whirlpool would do at least 20%, which makes natures madness bring it down to 40% letting you pick up a KO quite easily.
252+ Atk Expert Belt Tapu Fini Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Slowking-Galar: 163-192 (41.3 - 48.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
