Project OM Mashup Megathread

And for the final piece of news, expect new samples within the next two days. While the bans are major, they do not shake up the tier in a major enough way to result in a redo of samples.​
It's been a little longer than a few days (mostly because I've been extremely busy with EUIC event prep) but new samples! I'll beautify this when I get time, right now I don't. If there are any copies of Astral Barrage, pretend they're Moongeist Beam. If any teams have Substitute, yell at me because I missed them.

Abyssal Human, BandedBodyPress, NoobSpammer, and The Kalos Fox are now on the AAABC council, so:
:sv/archaludon::sv/toxtricity::sv/decidueye-hisui::sv/zamazenta::sv/zamazenta-crowned:
Electro Shot, Boomburst, and Triple Arrows have been restricted! Both Zamazenta forms have been unbanned!

:archaludon: Electro Shot users like Jolteon and Hisuian Electrode with Primordial Sea or Drizzle support could snowball out of control very quickly, especially with the extra coverage they had access to.

:toxtricity: While it's not much of a problem in base ABC, Pokémon like Salamence, Hisuian Braviary, Primarina, and Blastoise could now run -ate or Liquid Voice, giving them an extremely powerful STAB move.

:decidueye-hisui: Triple Arrows with Serene Grace is dumb, especially since the abusers like Paldean Tauros forms and Terrakion now have access to Tidy Up.

:zamazenta: :zamazenta-crowned: We don't view either Zamazenta form as a big problem, as both are legal in AAA (and the former is legal in ABC) and don't get any moves that make them broken.

The codes now also use Anything Goes as the base format.
 
TSPOKEAAA UNBANS
ok I lied. This isn't technically an unban but I just decided to make an announcement.

Kyurem White and Black are now freed!
So uh these were mistakenly banned in the code and I have nothing else to say.
:sm/kyurem-white: :sm/kyurem-black:
I will update the codes later
 
i need to make this post before euph releases ell w3 but im really tired (almost fell asleep before remembering, another 45min needed to sleep ig...) so im just doing ban announcements now without anything else until after work tomorrow

alakazam and magnet pull are banned from camove, rejoice

both were 5-1-2 Y/N/A, zam had way too many sets to reliably be answered (i can name 10 different viable typings off the top of my head and will list them in longer post) and mpull enabled mons way too easily because turns out steel is a pretty important typing defensively.

Euphonos extra ping for you, and RoFnA The Hisui Region TheIronPikachu you three can decide if it counts for tpws since that was released early (thr will probably say no because zam ban but imo ban both anyway)
 
:sv/hawlucha:Simple in PokeBH:sv/iron_valiant:paradox 3d models wen

Since there hasn't been much activity on the thread lately, I am making a post on what is probably the most banworthy thing in PokeBH: Simple.
Note: whenever I say Imp, I mean Eviolite Chansey.
Part 1: Booster Energy

:sv/Flutter Mane::sv/Gouging Fire::sv/Iron Boulder::sv/Iron Bundle::sv/Iron Jugulis::sv/Iron Leaves::sv/Iron Moth::sv/Iron Valiant::sv/Iron Treads::sv/Iron Valiant::sv/Raging Bolt::sv/Roaring Moon::sv/Sandy Shocks:
click on pokemon for importables
Have you ever sat down and thought, "Gee, I wish my Simple pokemon didn't have to worry about improofing," or "I wish I had some extra speed control on this team?" Well you're in luck, because Today I'll be breaking down exactly how to solve both of those issues with two simple words.

:Roaring Moon::Booster Energy:Booster Energy:Booster Energy: :Iron Valiant:
Why use Booster Energy? It, when combined with Protosynthesis or Quark Drive, allows your pokemon to both beat their own Imposter with the correct EVing, and also give you some emergency speed control for their sweeper at +1, or maybe even 2. Now, you may be wondering, what Booster Energy pokemon are there that you could possibly use in such a high-powered meta like PokeBH? Well, dear citizen reading this post on www.smogon.com/forums/threads/om-mashup-megathread.3711916, I'm glad you asked this, for I have compiled a list of pokemon that can use this, and even created sets and EVed them to beat their own Imposter, for your viewing and usage enjoyment.

:sv/Flutter Mane:

First off, we have Flutter Mane, a pokemon whose high Special Attack and Speed comboes with its threatening STAB combo of Ghost/Fairy to create a lethal offensive pokemon, and now, it can't even be stopped by Imposter. The combination of Astral Barrage and Moonblast 2HKOs almost the entire tier, with Pain Split making it incredibly hard for pink blobs like:Audino-Mega, Chansey, or Blissey to stop you. The provided spread always OHKOs Eviolite Imposter from full after a Nasty Plot with Astral Barrage, Moongeist Beam can't quite OHKO Imposter, so I would advise against its use.

:sv/Gouging Fire:

Next, we have the Big Gouger, who I think might be getting slept on a little because of Reshiram. Reshiram might be the better sun pick, but this Gouging Fire set is incredibly dangerous after just a single Swords Dance. Glaive Rush is a great STAB, and while normally the Fire STAB of choice is V-Create, Simple and Booster Energy both anti-synergize with it, so instead I've opted for Pyro Ball. Sunsteel Strike threatens any Fairies or FC pokemon that would try to slow you down, and because of your natural Fire typing, you're even able to spam contact moves like Sunsteel Strike or Glaive Rush without being scared of Bulwark.

:sv/Iron Boulder:

Boulder has a rather unique set of traits that I think makes it a good user of Simple+Booster Energy. It's very fast, it has SE STAB on Toxapex and Ho-Oh, and it has STAB that punishes Bulwark usage heavily. You could theoretically swap out Headlong Rush for Precipice Blades to counter Bulwark Steels if you feel lucky, or Gigaton Hammer to allow you to run a lot more EVs in Defense(instead of having to use 0 EV/19 IV Hasty, you could use 96 EV/31 IV Jolly), but then Imposters could switch out on the Gigaton, sack a different pokemon to it, and kill you with Gigaton in return, so I woudn't personally recommend it. I wouldn't recommend using Sunsteel Strike over Headlong Rush either, as it cannot quite OHKO Imposter.

:sv/Iron Bundle:

Bundle sports probably the most unique spread I've made for any of these pokemon, but it hits a few critical benchmarks. Modest 212 Special Attack is stronger than Timid 252 on Iron Bundle, while also still allowing for Booster Energy to boost Speed. This increased Special Attack also allows you to run more Special Defense EVs (176 vs 124) while still always OHKOing Imposter with Electro Drift. Freeze-Dry and Ice Beam are both very solid Ice STABs for Bundle, and Steam Eruption is a good secondary STAB.

:sv/Iron Jugulis:

Not too much to say about this one, it's a fast Booster mon weak to Electro Drift, so Improofing is pretty easy, don't know if I'd use it vs any of the Scales mons in the meta, but I think it has a chance to be able to do some interesting things.

:sv/Iron Leaves:

Another fairly simple set, STAB Flower Trick hits like a truck, Attack Order makes Improofing simple, Triple Arrows slam Steels. You could very easily swap out Flower Trick for a Psychic STAB like Psychic Fangs or Psyblade if you need to hit Toxapex.

:sv/Iron Moth:

This is the first of two pokemon that I've cooked two different sets for, but unlike the one coming up, both of the two sets are fairly similar. Malignant Chain+Fire STAB(can be Torch Song, Armor Cannon, Blue Flare, etc)+Improofing Move+NPlot. The difference comes primarily in the EVs necessary for the two different Improofing Moves(Psystrike and Earth Power). The other main difference is that Psystrike is slightly better into blobs like Blissey/Chansey, and Earth Power is better into Mega Tyranitar, so just pick whichever suits your team best.

:sv/Iron Treads:

Another good user of Simple+Booster Energy, Iron Treads has STAB SE on itself for easy Improofing, and also has STAB Sunsteel Strike, making it a super threatening pokemon, especially as the pokemon you'd ordinarily use for checking Ground/Steel moves in PokeBH, Ho-Oh, gets eviscerated by +4 Mighty Cleave.

:sv/Iron Valiant:

The second pokemon that I've cooked up two sets for, and probably the most flexible pokemon on this list, Iron Valiant is in a very unique position, where as long as it runs Fairy STAB for self-proofing, it can really use whatever two coverage moves it wants. Glacial Lance for Gliscor, Electro Drift for Ho-Oh/Toxapex, Precipice Blades for Mega Steelix, you get the idea. It can easily pick apart just about any team with the right coverage moves. Very scary pokemon, don't sleep on this.

:sv/Raging Bolt:

A pokemon that I'm not as sure about, Raging Bolt feels like just worse Miraidon/Ampharos-Mega, but it might be able to leverage its 409 speed tier after Booster and Simple Nasty Plot to do something. Fairly basic moveset, could probably be experimented with more.

:sv/Roaring Moon:

Another Dragon, this time a bit faster and stronger than Gouging, but a lot worse into Fairies, Roaring Moon can threaten to seriously mess with most teams with Glaive Rush/Knock Off/Sunsteel Strike, and can also switch out Knock Off for Wicked Blow if you want to sacrifice utility for raw damage output. Another scary pokemon, does feel a little awkward to set up at the moment, and hates Bulwark 50/50s, but definitely keep an eye on this mon.

:sv/Sandy Shocks:

A pokemon I haven't experimented with much, inspired by Slothy0wl's usage of it on a rain team a couple weeks back, Sandy Shocks is a fairly simple pokemon for my purposes. Fast, STAB Electro Drift, SE STAB on itself for easy Improofing, and then a flex slot to do whatever it wants with. Could do with some tinkering, and feels a little frail, but isn't a bad pokemon by any means.
this

Part 2: Unburden
Unburden allows certain mons to outspeed most of the meta, and, most notably, mean you don't have to improof it, since you get the boost from losing your item while Imposter doesn't. Just like in standard play, they are generally paired with terrain setters, as the terrain seeds are a quick and easy way to activate Unburden, and because of Simple, it gives +2 to a defensive stat, allowing easier setup.

:sv/hawlucha:
Hawlucha @ Psychic Seed / Misty Seed
Ability: Simple
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Dragon Ascent
- Close Combat
- Filler

Hawlucha is the main non-Booster Energy abuser of Simple right now, as despite its Seaking-level Attack stat, it's a really good sweeper as it gets Mold Breaker on top of Unburden, Limber for stray Nuzzles and 2 120BP STABs with drawbacks that aren't too bad. It's also weak to one of its own STABs, allowing it to OHKO Imposter without having to de-EV Defense too much or run another move. Because of this, and the fact Fighting/Flying is great offensive typing, the 4th moveslot is free, allowing you to run utility or coverage for one of the few Pokémon that resists its STABs, like Tapu Koko or Gholdengo (which aren't very common in the first place).

:sv/sneasler:

Sneasler @ Psychic Seed / Misty Seed
Ability: Simple
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 144 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Noxious Torque
- Headlong Rush

I haven't used this or seen it very much, but it could work as a second Hawlucha on terrain HO teams (or a niche sidegrade?). While it doesn't have built-in Mold Breaker or Limber, it naturally has much more Attack and a STAB that hits Fairy-types. Headlong Rush offers pretty good coverage while allowing you to OHKO Imp with the spread above at +4.

:sv/drifblim:
Drifblim @ Electric Seed / Grassy Seed
Ability: Simple
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 172 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Moongeist Beam
- Aeroblast
- Steam Eruption (or some other coverage idk)

I don't think I've ever seen or used this, but it can maybe work as a special attacker. Its other abilities aren't very useful unless you try to switch into a stray Wisp, but at least Moongeist ignores Ice Scales as well as OHKOing Imp at +4. Unfortunately it can't run Psychic or Misty Seed as that will stop it from OHKOing Imp, and it's still a Drifblim (Steam Eruption doesn't even OHKO Ting-Lu), so it probably won't be very good.

Part 3: lol who cares about speed boosting abilities? just run it on broken guys

:sv/ogerpon-hearthflame:

Ogerpon-Hearthflame (F) @ Hearthflame Mask / Life Orb
Ability: Simple
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- V-create
- Flower Trick
- Headlong Rush

+4 252+ Atk Hearthflame Mask Ogerpon-Hearthflame V-create vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Ho-Oh: 422-497 (101.4 - 119.4%) -- guaranteed OHKO
yeah
V-create does drop your speed by 2 but it doesn't really matter as it will still nuke something and you will probably switch, sadly improofing is limited to stuff like AShield Levitate Heatran.

:sv/aerodactyl-mega:
Aerodactyl-Mega @ Life Orb
Ability: Simple
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Mighty Cleave
- Dragon Ascent
- Headlong Rush

+4 252+ Atk Life Orb Tough Claws Aerodactyl-Mega Dragon Ascent vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Fur Coat Gliscor: 344-407 (97.1 - 114.9%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO :sholthink:
MAero is so fast that it doesn't need to run Jolly, and unlike with HOger, improofing isn't too hard as you don't need AShield on your Fur Coat Dondozo, Bronzong or whatever else you want to improof it with.

:sv/tyranitar-mega:
Tyranitar-Mega @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Simple
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Victory Dance
- Strength Sap
- Power Trip
- Spirit Shackle

Who said you can't run regular BH sets here? (ok it does get sand stream which makes it slightly better but still)

Conclusion
While some people have been saying Hawlucha is banworthy because it would be broken even without Simple, other abusers are strong enough that I still think Simple is the msot banworthy things in the current meta.
