The aroma wafted into the air. I took a somber sniff in the invisible shifting of air as its intoxicating scent shriveled the curls in my ears with dread. I knew what was going to happen next. The Petal Queen Lilligant winked at me wickedly as it leapt up in a state of vigor and health. She was ready to dance her frolicky dance as the wind swarmed around me like a deadly paparazzi. My situation was grave. I, the Mother Cleric Audino, was outplayed by a mad bitch flower.

gum's Encore
z charm from me, interesting niche from a rather bad move competitively
i actually like the coba berry one, being able to not die to scarf dodrio from even some chip is actually a viable niche, same with scarf scyther too.
not the biggest fan of both the toxic and non-sleep sub one, i find dropping sleep kinda defeats the point of lilligant. i do get that it's the potential of lilli having it but losing 1v1 to a load of things it usually beats rlly does suck. i did used to like z dream eater but i think again dropping sleep for it is p meh. covet is too gimmicky. i'd probably have voted on the aroma one if it wasn't basically a standard set at this point. encore is also fun and has some nice uses.

With 7 votes, this week's winner is Scizorphobic with his Z-Aromatherapy Lilligant!! Congrats, your submission has been added to the archives (which i updated yay).
This week's victim is...
Oricorio-Pom-Pom's typing, ability, Speed, and access to reliable recovery make it a formidable check to threats such as Lilligant and Gurdurr. It's also a threatening cleaner thanks to its access to Calm Mind and flexible last slot, making it able to pick its checks or stallbreak efficiently with Taunt. However, its movepool and typing could let it potentially run other viable sets. Have fun and good luck! Submissions phase ends Thursday.
Again, good luck and have fun!!

nothing wrong with a bit of sub-toxic action! just abuses a load of defensive cores thanks to a nice typing and ability to stall things out that it usually couldn't like regirock and mudsdale.

Feather Dance Oricorio

Ability: Dancer

Timid Nature
- Feather Dance
- Roost
- U-turn
- Revelation Dance
General idea
Here we have a fast supporter Oricorio with Feather Dance as main supporting move.
With 100% accuracy, you are now able to cut the opposing threat's Atk without much effort; this happens:
-2 252+ Atk Golem Stone Edge vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Oricorio-Pom-Pom: 224-266 (63.4 - 75.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
Then, you can Roost the damage and continue to use Feather Dance to stall Golem.
-2 0 Atk Regirock Rock Slide vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Oricorio-Pom-Pom: 108-128 (30.5 - 36.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
This Oricorio is meant to beat physical attackers that don't have Toxic on their movepool.
Roost is mandatory to recharge our HP on a pokemon weak to SR; Revelation Dance is the STAB in order to avoid being Taunt-bait.
U-turn allows Oricorio to keep the momentum on our favour and it is good especially after a Feather Dance in order to support its incoming teammate.
Team(mates) support
This Oricorio-Pom-Pom isn't self-sufficient, but works better if you have some teammates that can make good use of its U-turn.
A way to deal properly with status moves (mainly Toxic) is appreciated such as Safeguard, Taunt and/or Heal Bell.

Z-Safeguard gives a +1 in Speed so it is faster than a scarfed Lilligant and also faster than a Lilligant at +1 due to Quiver Dance. It also prevents Oricorio
and its teammates from getting put to sleep via Sleep Powder Lilligants and also other Status-situations such as paralysis, poison and burn.

So, we have plenty of special attacking Pom Pom running around, let's give our dancing birb a dancing move and have it carry a big ol' nuke to go along with it! Z-Sky Attack just nukes better that Z-Fly. Once the rocks and steels are gone, somebody is choosing a sac at that point. U-turn is there for pivoting from potential Will-O users and momentum. I was considering Z-Mirror Move but why do that when Swords Dance is here. Finally since all of the Oricorio's movepools just suck, I went with Facade just in case it gets burned or toxic'd.

Agility Oricorio-Pom-Pom
A bit surprised no one’s done this yet but I ain’t complaining. Agility allows Pom-Pom to potentially clean late-game, as it it can outspeed almost the entire metagame after a single boost, even with Modest. Hurricane and Hidden Power Fighting has great coverage, while Roost allows Pom-Pom to switch in earlier in a game and lets it play around Sucker Punch when boosted.
Also nameless90 you forgot Regirock has Clear Body

Specs notably claims a 2HKO on Guzzlord with Hurricane, a OHKO on Sandslash-Alola with HP Fighting (after Stealth Rock) and in general is just pretty powerful. U-Turn lets you pivot out on stuff like Lanturn and Eelektross, chipping them away for the lategame.

- Hurricane

- Revelation Dance / Taunt
Basic Roost + 3 Attacks set. Allows Pom-Pom to put more immediate pressure on the opponent while still keeping some defensive utility thanks to Roost. This set is also obnoxiously hard to switch into if you don't have something like Lanturn (which doesn't appreciate taking hp ground all that much), eel, or Regirock. Last moveslot is fairly customizable, Revelation Dance hits Omastar, Carracosta, and Regirock harder than anything else and also allows it to hit Cuno. Alternatively, Taunt gives this set more utility and allows it to act as a stallbreaker and it's p good at annoying stuff like Audino and Clef, which are otherwise painful for this set to face. Defog is also a fine option, but Swanna does the whole "Offensive Defogger capable of checking Fighting-types" thing better, as it can pressure rockers like Regi way better and it's also a bit faster. U-turn can also be used to grab momentum against stuff like Eelektross and Lanturn for a teammate like Stoutland to weaken them.
