slurmz qt team
And the winner is :
This week mon is :
Hoopa !!! Hoopa was a drop RU got during tier shift and is commonly seen with pursuit trappers. Hoopa most used sets are either a mixed set or a Substute attacker set. Hoopa is basically another wallbreaker for RU with amazing coverage one of Hoopa main flaws is being pursuit trapped since thanks to it arrival pursuit is becoming more common and also it's pitiful defence even almost OHKOed by Alo's Knock Off.
Deadline: Febuary 22

Hoopa a new drop which p powerful when it comes to a Trick Room and otherwise also but TR is the best option to use.So the team is very simple to use , the strategy is to use TR setters and then choosing hoopa/exploud/Abomas with its abnormal power.Bronzong is the mon to deal with steelix-megas,fletchlings and other mons.The team is pretty much handles all the mons in the RU or lower.
For users who want to know about the Trick Room~~~ Trick Room is a highly offensive playstyle that quite literally turns the metagame on its head. When Trick Room is set up, slower Pokemon will move first in battle, with one single exception: a Pokemon with over 1809 Speed (though Choice Scarf Ninjask is hardly a threat). In a metagame obsessed with Speed tiers, Speed creeping, and fast sweepers, this strategy can be devastating. Powerful attackers that are normally too slow to pull off a sweep , such as Abomas-Mega.Unfortunately setting Trick Room is pretty difficult to put into effect.Moreover, it only lasts for 5 turn D: that too the turn including, meaning you have 4 turns to take advantage of its effect to set it again. Despite these shortcomings, when it is up, few teams can handle the unabashed offensive fury that a well built Trick Room team can unleash.
Some of you might think that TR is horrible and some might not.Trick room is actually good to use as discussed earlier but it has kinda threats which I would like to tell you so that you won't have any difficulty while playing with the team~~~
Taunt is one of the biggest problems it faces, as it removes your ability to set up Trick Room itself. Though paralysis will only make your Pokemon "faster" under Trick Room, an untimely full paralysis can be quite costly. Sleep completely shuts down one of your team members, leaving you to fight a 5 vs 6 battle. Toxic poisoning and burn can quickly wear down your Trick Room users, and burn in particular can completely nerf one of your physical sweepers i.e. Abomasnow-Mega. Priority attacks are a huge threat to Trick Room teams, as they retain their priority even under the field effect. This was all about the moves and abilities and regarding move, sucker-punch is the move which is the major threat.Well timed Sucker Punch can spell disaster for one of your sweepers.Using Substitute, or priority attacks of your own, is the best away around this weakness which you may change accordingly to your playstyle. Idk but I think camerupt-mega be a disaster to this team :l
Conclusion~ Trick Room is a potent strategy that counters almost any other playstyle in the metagame. Its hyper aggression with powerful sweepers is easy to pick up, as well.The real key is putting some Bulky pokemons and then sweeping with other mons by setting Trick Room.And don't forget to have fun while you're sweeping your next opponent with a Hoopa.
