Project National Dex Monotype Fall Core Ladder Challenge

SLATE 5 IS COMPLETE, ONTO SLATE 6!

CYCLE 4 SLATE 6: SHADOWS OF THE LEVIATHANS.

STEALTH ROCK :SV/Golurk: & :SV/Gholdengo:

Example Tag: CCGho4 Elvira. By utilizing Golurk with Stealth Rocks, Ghost teams can essentially become hazard stack type teams. Now one would ask why Golurk over the last generation beauty of Eviolite Corsola Galar? Ground immunity + No Guard. Poltergeists go brr. Dynamic Punches go brr. Gholdengo stops any singular form of hazard removal unless some how some way someone brings mold breaker defog (not likely LOL).


HYPER VOICE :SV/Altaria Mega: & :SV/Walking Wake:
Example Tag: CCDra4 Elvira. Mega Altaria is one of Dragon's most colorful types in Fairy/Dragon with the ability to setup and sweep teams away. But lets refrain from letting this diva tear through with physical power. Hyper Voice is a fun move to pair with Pixilate as it can hit through substitutes. Altaria also has access to complimentary support coverage with the likes of Will-o-Wisp to cripple physically effective Pokemon such as Iron Hands, Mega Gallade, etc. Maybe a defensive option can help with crafting a dragon team! Pairing her with Walking Wake can help versus Ground, Rock, Steel, and be a fun way to abuse Sun versus the likes of Fire!

Important note: To qualify for each week, at the end of each week please provide some form of evidence that you did in fact use the cores & their noteworthy teammate if they have a specific move or z crystal added. I would suggest doing a poke paste along with a screenshot of your Hall of Fame record. HAVE FUN GUYSSSSS. Also for each type that you do make sure you reply below and post the example tag or tags.

Bronze: 1400 ELO
Silver: 1500 ELO
Gold: 1600 ELO
Platinum: 1700 ELO

SLATE 6 ENDS APPROXIMATELY SUNDAY DECEMBER 1ST AT 11:59 PM -4!
 
SLATE 6 IS NOW COMPLETE, ONTO SLATE 7!
CYCLE 4 SLATE 7: BRICK BREAKING EARTHQUAKES!

:groundium z: :SV/Great Tusk: & :SV/Iron Hands:

Example Tag: CCFig4 Elvira. To each their own, both Great Tusk and Iron Hands provide a great defensive answer to the likes of both Attacking and Special Attacking Pokemon among the tier. The two however can also possess a good attacking power that shouldn't go underestimated. Groundium Z is on the board this week to see if Great Tusk can not only remove hazards but become a threatening wallbreaker even more.
TAUNT :SV/Gliscor: & :SV/Garchomp:
Example Tag: CCGro4 Elvira. Gliscor is always a stinky flying cat. Though to be stinkier is to use Taunt to stop the likes of Status spread, Hazards, or even the likes of passive recovery with Leech Seed, or even Setup. Making the opponent already go into a justifiable crash out from the likes of Gliscor. Pairing this with Garchomp could turn the tides. Or shall we say, the sands!

SLATE 7 ENDS APPROXIMATELY SUNDAY DECEMBER 8TH AT 11:59 PM -5
 
SLATE 7 IS COMPLETE! ONTO THE FINAL SLATE.
CYCLE 4 SLATE 8: THE LAKE FULL OF SLUDGE!

CEASELESS EDGE :sv/Samurott-hisui: & :sv/swampert-mega:
Example tag: CCWa4 Elvira. Samurott Hisui has the capability to setup both nice chip/stab Dark-type damage and hazards with Ceaseless Edge. So to pair it with another heavy hitter with Swampert-Mega, can turn the tides of a matchup! Perhaps Rain will be excellent here..? (hint hint)
:sv/Venusaur-Mega: & RECYCLE :sv/Muk-Alola:
Example tag: CCPoi4 Elvira. Poison has to run a lot of bulk, so I figured we could run Mega Venusaur, an excellent choice in bulk and good damage, with the likes of Recycle Alolan Muk! Now this set dates back to SS, and SM, however Curse + Recycle with a berry of choice seems to do wonders!
