More or less made to attempt to try to get back into OU, any advice helps, from move changes, item changes, pokemon to change, or scrap all together. I'm just trying to get used to team building again.

Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Play Rough

good utility and pivot with scarf to outspeed many swift swimmers, shell smashers, and dragapult, knock out one shots dragapult unless bulky screen setter. also Ive found, or atleast thought ive found it to be a good lead vs alolan ninetails with knockoff. Almost every, if not every time, ninetails will screen turn 1 vs you, so you can heavily neuter screens

Bold Nature

Good mid/late game setup sweeper, if tera poison with a calm mind, will outpace kinggambit with moonblast, or atleast leave it low enough to be revenge killed by most the team
 
Forgot to say, the team is built around taking out threats and whittling the team town to let creselia set up and sweep
 
I am locking your RMT for the time being as the forum rules require that you provide at least three lines of descriptions for each Pokemon to explain their roles. Please read the rules carefully and look at Team Showcase to see the detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions, and I will be happy to unlock this. Also, feel free to PM me if you need help or have any question. Have a nice day!

To PM someone on Smogon, go over their name on any of their post. It will display a little pop-up with a summary of their profile. Then, hit the "Start conversation" button and you will be able to write a PM just like you write a regular thread.

Why did you choose this Pokemon?
What do the EV spreads do and why do you have it?
What are all 4 moves for?
