Introduction
Welcome to Quadruple Priority Hyper Offense. This team is designed to have a very good match-up versus many teams seen in the current meta. Post Breloom-Buzzwole suspect there was a wave of Stall teams, this team was designed to keep a good Stall match-up while also being effective against all other team types. Having four priotity Pokemon gives this team an advantage against other Hyper Offense teams as well as teams with many set-up sweepers because most threats can be revenge killed. Most UU threats are checked through a type immunity, type resistance, or through offensive pressure. I really enjoy using this team because it is very reliable on ladder and very fun to play, it is a very fast paced offensive team but is also very balanced so that Stall and Balance don't wear it down easily. Enjoy!
The Team
Building Analysis
I began with hazards because every Hyper Offense team needs a Stealth Rock setter. Mamoswine in particular is amazing in this meta, and in general, because it provides so much offensive pressure againt every team and has very good offensive typing. It can force out threats like Latias and Hydreigon with Ice Shard, while also being very useful versus stall by using Freeze Dry against Pokemon like Quagsire and Alomomola as well as Balance Pokemon like Swampert.
After Mamoswine I noticed I had one priority Pokemon and priority spam sounded like an interesting and fun idea. In addition the introduction of Breloom back into the UU meta made it an appealing idea. Focus Sash Breloom is a nasty Pokemon, it can put Pokemon to sleep and also slow down offenive threats using Rock Tomb. It provides more offensive pressure against Pokemon like Scizor, Azumarill, and Infernape.
The next step was adding another priority user. As a new addition to the S tier, and my favorite UU set-up sweeper, Azumarill was the perfect choice. It gave me a sweeper that my team desperately needed. Mamoswine and Breloom pressure Steel and Dragon types which gives Azumarill plenty of opportunities to Belly Drum worry free. Azumarill can act as a sweeper and also can weaken Pokemon that wall the team and pressure it offensively.
A Z-move user which provided breaking power and also had access to priority was what I needed next. My favorite Pokemon of these constraints is Fightinium-Z Scizor. Scizor uses its bulk as a switch in to Latias and can also beat opposing Scizors with its Z-move. Using Swords Dance to boost its attack Scizor can beat Pokemon like Swampert, Hippowdon, and Mega Aggron who are all bulky walls that are used to stunt the pressure of Hyper Offense.
Speed control was a necessity at this point. I also needed something that had access to emergency hazard control. Latias did this job perfectly by being, in my opinion, the most reliable speed control in the UU tier, and having access to both Healing Wish, and Defog.
Lastly I needed to cement a good stall match-up for this team. Stall breaker Mega-Pidgeot was the perfect option to handle stall general, but Blissey in particular. Also Mega-Pidgeot deals massive damage to many Pokemon and acts as a sweeper for this team.
Team Analysis
Breloom - Breloom acts as offensive pressure for the team. Uses its Focus Sash as a fail safe against opposing sweepers, it can Spore, use Mach Punch to revenge kill, and use Rock Tomb to slow down Pokemon. Breloom provides offensive counter play against defensively frail sweepers like Mega-Sharpedo, Hydreigon, and Lucario while also being able to outspeed Pokemon like Azumarill and Scizor. Breloom is able to eliminate fast threats as well as Rock and Steel-type threats so that Mega-Pidgeot has an easier time sweeping.
Mamoswine - Mamoswine is more offensive pressure utlizing powerful priority and providing a good stall match up with Freeze Dry. Its EV's are optimal to 2HKO Alomomola with Freeze Dry, as well as OHKO Swampert and Quagsire, while stil 2HKOing Blissey with Earthquake. Mamoswine has the ability to take on Pokemon such as Swampert, Alomomola, and Quagsire which it normally wouldn't be able to deal with. It also sets hazards which provide a key roll in the success of Hyper Offense, weaknening sweepers and breaking Focus Sashes.
Scizor - Scizor acts as one of three sweepers. It's set is specifically designed to sweep and not be walled by usual threats to Scizor like Hippowdon, Swampert, and Mega-Aggron. Fightinium-Z allows it to beat the Pokemon listed above, that usually inhibit its sweeping potential, and and break through the opposing team. Knock off is for Pokemon like Doublade who wall Scizor excellently.
Azumarill - Azumarill is the most reliable sweeper on this team because it's set up is quick, and the fast paced and offensive theme of this team gives it many opportunities to set up. Most of the threats to Azumarill can be dealt with my Latias and Mega-Pidgeot which gives it more sweeping potential. Even without using Belly Drum Azumarill still provides pressure with it's powerful STAB's and priority, it even has a chance to OHKO Amoongus from full health. Its speed EV's are so that it can speed creep the normal Belly Drum Azumarill and Mantine.
Latias - Latias is the designated speed control of this team, even though there are four priority users. Latias is amazing against fast threats like Infernape, Mega-Manectric, and Mega-Aerodactyl who all threaten this team. Its typing making it a good switch in to Ground-type attackers, as well as priority sweepers like Breloom and Azumarill who are trouble for this team. It's powerful attacks and access to Defog and Healing Wish makes it a great addition to this team.
Mega-Pidgeot - Mega-Pidgeot provides the most reliable Stall match-up for this team. It can beat Blissey one on one with Roost and Refresh, as well as a majority Stall mons, Crobat excluded. It can also be used as a late game sweeper because quadruple priority clears most threats to it.

Latias is amazing against fast threats like Infernape, Mega-Manectric, and Mega-Aerodactyl who all threaten this team. Its typing making it a good switch in to Ground-type attackers, as well as priority sweepers like Breloom and Azumarill who are trouble for this team. It's powerful attacks and access to Defog and Healing Wish makes it a great addition to this team.
Mega-Pidgeot - Mega-Pidgeot provides the most reliable Stall match-up for this team. It can beat Blissey one on one with Roost and Refresh, as well as a majority Stall mons, Crobat excluded. It can also be used as a late game sweeper because quadruple priority clears most threats to it.
Threats
- Mega Pidgeot- An opposing Mega-Pidgeot pressures the team very much. No Flying-type resists makes it difficult to face pokemon like Mega-Pidgeot and Mega-Aerodactyl but the priority and offensive pressure of this team makes them easy to revenge kill. A combination of priority and Latias deals with this Pokemon.
- Mega-Aerodactyl- Mega-Aerodactyl can switch in on a Hurricane from Mega-Pidgeot and unleash a powerful Stone Edge or Wing Attack that pressures the team. Essentially on a free switch most of my time deals with it nicely.
- Mega-Manectric- Mega-Manectric's use of Intimidate and move set gives it a great match-up versus hyper offense. It is really difficult to handle this Pokemon but a combination of priority and Choice Scarf Latias does the trick.
- Tentacruel - Tentacruel can wall Scizor, Breloom, and Azumarill, stomache a Hurricane from Mega-Pidgeot, and outspeed Mamoswine and do a lot of damage with Scald. Over all it is a big issue for this team but Mega-Pidgeot and Latias can handle it as well as Breloom with Spore.
- Infernape- Scarf Infernape in particular can switch into Scizor and revenge kill Mega-Pidgeot while also using U-Turn to provide momentum which is annoying for Hyper Offense. Latias, Focus Sash Breloom, and Azumarill can all pressure it.
- Amoongus- Amoongus has the ability too stomache an Icicle Crash from Mamoswine, and switch into Scizor, Breloom, and Azumarill if it is Poisinium-Z. Spore is really an unavoidable nuisance, however Latias and Mega Pidgeot can handle it.
- Crobat - Crobat has seen quite a bit of usage on stall because it outspeeds Mega-Pidgeot and can revenge kill it, it can also revenge kill Breloom and do a large chunk to Scizor and Azumarill. It can be killed with Ice Shard from Mamoswine or Psychic from Latias.
- Latias- Latias' all around bulk allows it to live Hurricane's from Mega Pidgeot, an Aqua Jet from Azumarill, a Mach Punch from Breloom, and deal massive damage in return. If it is Choice Scarf than it is a perfect opportunity to set up with Latias or Azumarill.
