I'm Seeing Double

Why have one of the Bascu-line when you can have two. That's the answer that I sent out to find in a brief 10 minute teambuilding session.
: Big damage dealer with specs, pretty unwallable in the right matchups and the right support, which I think I've provided here decently. Tera Water for even bigger booms when needed.
Fun Fact, Basculin has the same speed stat as Hydreigon, so it makes for an even more potent scarf user than its fully evolved counterpart, while still packing a punch with Adaptability. I'm running STAB in Wave Crash and Flip Turn, and then as a surprise for any fighters or water absorbers that might show their faces in front of it, Tera Psychic Psychic Fangs. Finally, in order to compliment the lack of vitality that comes with Wave Crash and no HDBs, we have Endeavor as a parting gift to allow for the rest of the team to break through a potentially important wall.
I think I've literally just copied and pasted this exact set/spread for the past like 150 teams I've built
Wanted some priority, and another physical attacker, so here is Bisharp. Tera Ghost helps against Fighters and can allow for some cheese comebacks if necessary.
Main fighter switch-in, punishes stuff like U-Turn as well. Found no need for Defog, so just fully supportive with Taunt and Will-O.
Didn't feel like a defensive rocker like Hippo was super fitting here, as the team is generally more fast paced. Running Gunk Shot because Talonflame already has Taunt.

I needed something that could wall dark and ghost types, and something to help hersculegion keep itself healthy. Umbreon provided both of those aspects. This is just a standard set, but it works well on the team.
Of course, I needed something to help on the physical side. So I went with one of the best physical walls in the tier, hippowdon. This is just a standard set, with tera water in order to wall rain even harder and help against feraligatr.
I honestly needed some firepower for this team, as while herscu was good and all, it wouldn't be breaking teams at the end of the day. So I decided to throw on breloom, and I used an interesting set. This is a poison heal variant, which isn't very common, but can be very effective in the right matchup. The evs make sure that it can always outspeed the standard bisharp spread, while the attack evs make sure you always OHKO hoodra with CC, with the rest being dumped into defenses. Leech seed allows breloom to keep itself pretty healthy over the course of the game, while helping teammates as well, especially hersculegion. Protect means it can activate its own toxic orb, get leech seed chip or scout out enemy mons. Facade can hit pretty hard against neutral enemies that resist fighting, while cc hits the steel and rock types that can switch into facade. Tera normal means it can boost the power of facade to high levels (with leech seed, it 2hit ko's hippo), while potentially blanking ghost types that might sweep. Be warned, besides leech seed, breloom can't touch ghost types at all. However, aside from those, its a devestating mon on this team.
We needed some speed, and some hazard control, so noivern is up next. I decided to go with the offensive utility set, with defog over u-turn. Tera steel allows it to take ice and fairy type hits while helping against maushold in a pinch (it can take one pop bomb from full).
Finally, I wanted some sort of setup sweeper that I could still use defensively. In comes rotom heat, with an NP set to annoy enemy walls. I decided on t-wave over wisp in order to annoy bike more, and also helps hersculegion outspeed mons. Tera steel is just a good defensive typing for it.


The mon that I decided to use a pinch berry with, Barraskweda is a mon is usually restricted to band sets in order to get the OHKO's it needs due to its frailty, but that of course has the choice lock affect. Boots sets can still work, but most of the time have to click flip turn, which can be constricting to its moveset. With liechi berry, this is no longer the case. Barraskewda can pick up the OHKO's it needs by enduring to 1hp and activating it. Liquidation is a good stab option, CC hits most things in the tier for neutral damage and hits steels hard and Crunch can hit Slowbro for big damage, especially with Tera Dark.
I of course, needed a rocker and something to start the knock off spam on the team (because rocky helmet would stop a potential barra sweep), so I used krookodile. Standard set, taunt helps in the fat matchup, but gunk shot is also pretty good.
I wanted a special sponge and I believed spikes would be the best way to support barra, so I used klefki next. This set uses toxic orb to cripple switchins and get there items. This can be good against last mon sweepers as you can cripple them with two status moves. You can also use this multiple times if you want to, as you can trick the toxic orb onto them, activate it, and then get it back so you can do it again for another mon. Rest of the set is standard, t-wave to cripple mons that don't care about poison, spikes to make progress and play rough to deal good damage. Tera ghost can act as a temporary spinblocker.
I needed some sort of hazard control, so conkeldurr is up next. I decided to go with the defog set, which I don't think I need to explain much, as it has decent longevity and breaking power. Tera steel lets it soft check fairy types.
I needed some speed control, so I decided on Gengar. This is the standard Gengar set, with the only changes being Knock Off to cripple switchins such as Cyclizar and Hoodra for teammates, and Tera Poison in order to make sludge wave a nuke (once cyclizar is knocked, tera poison sludge wave has a chance to OHKO with just rocks).
Finally, I wanted another abuser of spikes and something to help klefki wall special threats, so vaporeon is here. I decided on Calm Mind for this, as it allows Vaporeon to snowball games quite easily, as the mons that wall it don't like taking knock or hazards. Other then that, everything else is standard.
