This is a balance team me and my friend made, we had alot of fun with it and so I decided to make an RMT post.
Lets get started with the team.
First, the core: I started off with a basic Dragonite, Gholdengo and Ursaluna-Bloodmoon core because they are pretty reliable offensively.
The lead here is Glimmora, which is a hard hitting lead that sets up hazards very quickly. Checking leads like Alolan Ninetales and offensive staples like Gholdengo, Kingambit, Iron Valiant,etc. Also removing hazards from its own side with Mortal Spin and punishing with poison.
Offensive pokemon done, now lets get started with defense:-
I had to choose Zapdos as it can wall many offensive threats and can cripple with paralyze. It can also live an Ice Spinner from Great Tusk, which is a threat to any team if not checked and can OHKO it back with a Hurricane. Likes of Corviknight, Pelipper, Torkoal, Dondozo get 2HKO'ed by Zapdos' strong STAB Discharge.
Last but not least, Great Tusk is paired with Zapdos in the defensive core. Great Tusk is an amazing mon being #1 in the usage ranking. Its amazing both offensively and defensively. The item on Great Tusk is Assault Vest to give it more special bulk. As a result, with a Careful Nature and 252 Sp.D EVs, It can never be OHKO'd.
Notable Calculations of Great Tusk:-
252 SpA Choice Specs Dragapult Draco Meteor vs. 132 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Great Tusk: 186-220 (46 - 54.4%) -- 55.9% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Quark Drive Iron Moth Energy Ball vs. 132 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Great Tusk: 190-224 (47 - 55.4%) -- 73.4% chance to 2HKO
252 SpA Iron Valiant Moonblast vs. 132 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Great Tusk: 206-246 (50.9 - 60.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
