so.. on the topic of a dry tier, what are some innovations that you think could work in NDOU?
these two as an offensive pair have worked exceptionally well in testing, especially when paired with big breakers like mmedi
hsam sets spikes using its STAB on defoggers like corv, while also chipping down lando and ferro and pressuring heatran
kart appreciates the spikes hsam sets up, alongside chipping down its checks and generally becoming a bigger threat as a late game cleaner
IRONM0NK3Y808 put me on this one, proving itself to be one of the scariest breaking cores.
rillaboom is good cleaner and breaker, often chipping down landos with gglide and uturn alongside setting grassy terrain
gouging really likes the extra recovery to fully utilize its excellent defensive stats, and the weakened eq allows dragonium z sets to 1v1 its most effective check in landorus, alongside stantrum naturally threatening many steels in the tier that s/i into rilla like corv tran and msciz, and dragonium being able to break thru checks like pex and alo
i never really learned how to use this core and i dont think it particularly shines rn, but im interested in cc+fs lately and tried to make it work yesterday(it didnt). nevertheless i think it has potential
Basically a more offensive version of the Urshifu + Slowking-G core you suggested, but these two are extremely good at wallbreaking. Mega Medicham's Close Combat combined with Tapu Lele's Future Sight is great at dismantling cores that rely on Poison-types like Toxapex or Slowking-G, while Tapu Lele can assist Mega Medicham by acting as speed control with Choice Scarf, and boosting the power of Zen Headbutt, while Mega Medicham is great at scaring away Iron Crown and Mega Tyranitar which Tapu Lele doesn't like dealing with.
