This is probably the silliest team I've thought of that has success. Originally, I wanted to find a bulky ghost check to zama that can take hits, and spread burns. I thought of sinistcha, but then i found the SAND CASTLE

Buried Alive (
) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Water Compaction
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 248 HP / 204 Def / 56 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shore Up
- Scorching Sands
- Hex
- Stealth Rock
One of the best IDBP Zama checks, since it takes nothing from crunch, and even if zama uses tera fire, Palo can still hit it hard with scorching sands. Hex hits gliscor hard while also combining with scorching sands. Rocks are here for some neat compression and hazards. 56 SpD EVs are for living Offensive gholdengo shadow ball, and I put the rest in phys bulk. Tera Dragon is for wellspring, which it will basically wall afterwards.
Missile Launcher (
) @ Choice Band
Ability: Clear Body
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Tera Blast
- U-turn
- Quick Attack
CB Pult is honestly a underrated set, cuz it can just break any stall team with Ghost blast and darts. Quick attack can also come in clutch with weakened targets. Pult probably can be changed into any set like hex pivot or specs. It was originally a dragonite, but nite lacked the power I needed.
Weird Ah Ears (
) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- U-turn
- Gunk Shot
- Court Change
Ace is here for hazard control and a nice pivot. Gunk is here surprising fairies, and fishing for poisons can alo and moltres. Not much else to say, but you could change the tera into something else, since you're not really using ace with tera.
The New King (
) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 20 Atk
- Tachyon Cutter
- Psyshock
- Volt Switch
- Focus Blast
JESUS CHRIST THIS THING HITS LIKE A TRUCK. I would've thought of using AV, but I wanted to try specs, and oh my god this thing can obliterate any checks. Tera steel is amazing, since 2HKO Glowking and other opponents that thing they could wall it. I honestly don't really use psyshock since im too busy hitting with tachyon cutter, so maybe psychic noise could work.
Lord's Gambit (
) @ Leftovers
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 172 HP / 252 Atk / 84 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Kowtow Cleave
- Low Kick
Gambit is nice for a bulky ghost resist, and turn it into solid damage. I already have crown and ace to hit fairies, so I decided to use low kick over iron head, which is nice against other gambit, moon, and ting lu. I ran enough speed EVs for outspeeding clef, and tera flying is nice vs tusk, which can be a free SD to break/sweep. Really customizable with EVs, tera, and moveset.
Tusk Buster (

Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ivy Cudgel
- Horn Leech
- U-turn
- Knock Off
This thing is here again, which is really nice for a ground resist and knock user. Really appreciates palo beating zama, which enables it to hit way harder against anything else.
Threats:
-Moon wipes this team if kingambit doesn't have its tera. If it's sun CB, it's probably over for you.
-Really scary. Cinderace can probably handle some sets, but honestly just force it out or something.
