Hello,
So The main thoughts behind this team is OHKos with Porygon-z & speed control with the unexpected Bulldoze
Originally i had intended to try using Mudsdale as Bulldoze support, but after reading up on Sejun Park's Metagross/Goodra combo thought i would give that a try
Porygon-Z @ Normalium-z
Adaptability
Nature: Modest
EVs: 68HP 252SPA 188SPE
Hyper Beam
Ice Beam
Dark Pulse
Protect
Porygon-Z is one of my favourite mons and i wanted to build my team around it. I just love the viable user of Hyper beam and its amazing OHKO potential. Ice beam is for coverage mostly so i dont have to waste a hyper beam on Garchomp. Dark pulse is so i dont get walled by ghosts. Protect is mainly to avoid Bulldoze. Ev spread is as much SPA as possible, Speed is just enough to outspeed a timid Koko at minus one provided I did my maths correct, rest is to go into HP for survival. Normalium-z is so i can essentially get two Hyper beams before recharge.
A-ninetails @ Focus Sash
Snow Warning
Nature: Timid
EVs: 252SPA 252SPE
Freeze Dry
Aurora Veil
Icy Wind
Protect
Ninetails is my alternate support. Freeze dry for the better coverage than Blizzard, my team doesnt have many other supereffective options against water especially Gastrodon. Aurora Veil allows porygon-Z to survive a tectonic rage from Garchomp and why else bring Ninetails. Icy Wind as speed control as my team is rather slow. Focus sash allows ninetails to survive atleast something. Evs are to ensure max speed to get veil off first and ninetails is so fragile theirs not much point in any survival EVs.
Goodra @ Assault Vest
Gooey
Nature: Modest
EVs: 188HP 164Def 156SpA
Dragon Pulse
Flamethrower
Sludge Bomb
Bulldoze
Goodra's main job here is speed control in the form of Bulldoze. Dragon Pulse is main reliable STAB. Flamethrower is for steel types mainly Kartana. Sludge bomb can hit the Tapus while not taking much in return thanks to insane SpDef. opted for Gooey over Sap sipper as i dont want to up my team damage on Bulldoze and Spore doesnt seem as common nowadays. It also helps with the speed control job. Evs are standard spread for Goodra for a bit of Bulk and a chance to survive physical Hits, mainly Dragon claw from Garchomp. Assault Vest amplifies Goodras huge SpDef.
Metagross @ Weakness Policy
Clear Body
Nature: Adamant
EVs: 252HP 76Atk 180Spd
Meteor Mash
Hammer Arm
Zen headbutt
Protect
With all the Tapus i felt i needed a Steel type to help, aswell as a good answer to gigalith. The intent is to be hit by a Bulldoze to activate the weakness policy and proceed to wreck. Meteor Mash for huge steel damge. Hammer arm to be able to hit Steel types. Zen Headbutt for alternate stab for Fire and water types. Spread is honestly taken from Sejun Park so not sure on calcs. Dont need much attack investment as relying on weakness policy for power, so rest can go into health. Speed outspeeds garchomp after a bulldoze.
Tapu LeLe @ Life Orb
Psychic Terrain
nature: Timid
EVs: 188HP 4Def 148SpA 4SpD 164Spe
Psychic
Moonblast
Thunderbolt
Protect
Lele's only really on my team as i felt i needed atleast one Tapu and it seemed the most useful as it can protect my team from Fake out and remove other Tapus Terrain. Psychic Terrain can also Boost Metagross's Zen Headbutt. Pyschic is a powerful STab under Terrain. Moonblast for alternate powerful STAB. Thunderbolt is one of my few answers to Celesteela. EV Spread stolen from Trainertower - to outspeed timid Xurkitree, adamant/modest Arcanine, and jolly Gyarados, and minimize Life Orb recoil. Enough defence to survive unboosted Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer provided grassy terrain is not active.
Milotic @ Sitrus Berry
Competitive
Nature: Modest
Evs: 244 HP 172 Def 60 SpA 28 SpD 4 Spe
Scald
Ice Beam
Recover
Protect
I felt like i needed a water type with how popular Arcanine is at the moment. My team doesn't really need intimidate deterrent so im not sure if its worth it, So im up for switching Milotic out. However i liked the idea of pairing with Goodra for Bulldoze Competive Boosts. Scald is main stab and i can fish for Burns. Ice Beam helps for coverage against Dragons. Recover lets Miltoc stay in longer. Spdef lets it survive Xurkitrees thunderbolt while rest goes into Def where Milotic is lacking, with a bit of SPA to help. May opt for HP Grass over Recover.
My biggest issue with the team is i feel i need a fast mon that doesnt rely on speed control. Perhaps replacing Milotic with Greninja or something
