IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Future Sight
- Sludge Bomb
- Power Gem
- Chilly Reception
Wanted to post power gem gking since I got sniped by medasus. Gking has amazing special bulk, allowing it to take hits from a volc easily. Although it can tank hits well, gking cannot threaten volc at all. With power gem, you can do big damage to it.

0 SpA Slowking-Galar Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Volcarona: 240-284 (77.1 - 91.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

+1 252 SpA Volcarona Fiery Dance vs. 0 HP / 4- SpD Iron Valiant: 337-397 (116.6 - 137.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Tried to come up with a lure that does not consume tera so here's what I got . U switch in as they QD once , pop the booster , disable before their second QD , D-bond and die .
Weird lure I know but it might work on some HO team with a volcarona weak sweeper or something

CYCLE-7: M-LATIAS



Latias (F) @ Latiasite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock / Stored Power
- Aura Sphere
- Roost

With access to Calm Mind, Mega Latias is a threatening wincon, using its huge bulk, typing, and Spikes immunity to check and setup against Pokemon like Ogerpon-W, Mega Medicham and potentially bowl over teams. Psyshock is used over other Psychic-type STAB moves due to its ability to hit Galarian Slowking harder as well as win against Pokemon that also boost their Special Defense such as Volcarona. Stored Power is another option that allows Mega Latias to boost past Unaware users such as Dondozo and Clefable while also becoming almost impossible to take on defensively after a few boosts. Aura Sphere hits Dark- and Steel-types such as Heatran, Mega Tyranitar, Weavile, and Ferrothorn, all of which would otherwise either completely wall it or remove it with Pursuit.

Submissions end 5th August!​

Landorus-Therian (M) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- U-turn
- Punishment
- Stone Edge

Set from Gen 8. Once Mtias has gained enough boosts, come in with an unsuspecting Mtias and then slam them with punishment. It’s also a scarf Lando so it just does scarf Lando things, you can’t go wrong with it

Also no one is running stored power mtias without sub in this economy

Serperior @ Dragonium Z
Ability: Contrary
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leaf Storm
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Dragon Pulse
- Glare

This is drag z serp. Serp is well known for its potential to clean games. However, serp struggles with dragon types such as mtias, mtios, gouging and dnite. Drag z dpulse allows serp to hit all of these dragon types. Glare just makes it more annoying to face. Hp fire is there to hit steels (mainly corv, ferro and sciz).
+2 252 SpA Serperior Devastating Drake vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Latias: 386-456 (106 - 125.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
You just use leaf storm once and then nuke that latias.
Adios latias
Edit: Forgot to show how much it does to a +1 latias after using leaf storm

+2 252 SpA Serperior Devastating Drake (160 BP) vs. +1 252 HP / 0 SpD Latias-Mega: 226-268 (62 - 73.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Even though it doesn't ko at +2 spatk, it most certainly does a lot to mtias and they won't use roost as they won't expect the z. Glare also helps out a lot.

CYCLE 8-OGERPON-W

Ogerpon-Wellspring @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Water
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Ivy Cudgel
- Power Whip / Horn Leech
- Superpower / Encore / Play Rough


Swords Dance Ogerpon-W is an incredibly dangerous wallbreaker and sweeper thanks to its ability to take advantage of defensive staples like Alomomola and Ting-Lu, the power boost from Wellspring Mask, and its good Speed tier. Swords Dance amps up Ogerpon-W's power to dangerous levels, most notably OHKOing standard Ferrothorn with Superpower and 2HKOing defensive Zapdos and Toxapex with Ivy Cudgel and Power Whip, respectively. Power Whip is a more threatening STAB option thanks to its high Base Power, but Horn Leech lets Ogerpon-W offset any Toxic damage from Toxapex and Alomomola, letting it set up on the pair. Superpower hits Steel-types like Ferrothorn and Archaludon, OHKOing them at +2. Alternatively, Encore lets Ogerpon-W gain setup opportunities against passive foes like Ferrothorn and Toxapex using status moves. With Tera Water, Ogerpon-W not only gets a huge boost to Ivy Cudgel's power, but also gains a Special Defense boost, which can help stave off revenge killing attempts from threats like Tornadus-T and Iron Valiant.

How will you lure this threat?
