She Loves Me
Hello everyone I’m BackAtYouBro! So I’m honestly surprised at myself that I was capable of amassing over 1,000 likes but it’s a benchmark that I am glad to reach! So to commemorate how far I’ve gotten as a user, I decided to build a strong Balance that tested my teambuilding and showed how much I’ve improved.
She Loves Me is also one of my favorite musicals so check that out too!
So I first began by creating this 3-Mon Army of a Balance Core. Chesnaught is able to set up Spikes and Mega Steelix for Rocks and with these entry hazards combined, Mega Steelix could open up a sweep late-game. Jellicent deals with Infernape and NP Lucario which would otherwise prove to be a nuisance. Mega Steelix is also an amazing Latias answer that the core could’ve also faced struggles with while dealing with the Flying mons in the tier.
Mega Steelix with a Cleric is pretty much a necessity if you want to Curse sweep so it was obvious to whip out the Florges.
Defog felt counterintuitive to this team due to its hazard stacking intentions so I found a Spinner to be far more optimal for my team. I at first was thinking Tsareena but I was quite reluctant in stacking Grasses. So it was between Starmie and Tentacruel and well I have a much more unconventional Starmie set to lure any would be answers.
Finally, I didn’t have a floating mon to alleviate all those Ground type moves and I also felt like I lacked some breaking power so why not use a Specs Hydreigon?
I have trained myself,
Going shelf by shelf,
And I know every item in the store,
Every tube, jar, box, bottle, carton and container,
Where they are,
What they cost,
What they're for,

Chesnaught is currently in a really good position in the tier. Despite how bad its defensive typing appears to be, Chesnaught blanket checks quite a few threats in the tier like the new October shift mons like Zeraora and Bisharp and with Bulletproof, it hard walls mons like non Clear Smog Amoongus and Stakataka. Chesnaught is able to be a niche but solid Spikes Setter that can set up on a few mons before having to switch out into another one of my defensive answers. A lot of this is fairly standard on the set but Spiky Shield is also usable over Wood Hammer if you’d like to scout Choice item users.
Come with me, Ilona.
Come with me, cherie.
Misteltoe I long for someone
Please tell me who!
Like some divine divining rod
It points...straight to you.

Jellicent preys on a lot of metagame trends currently by capitalizing on how on amazing Fighting types are in the tier and also tends to be an annoyance for fatter builds by clicking Taunt, then Wisp, and if for whatever reason your opponent is still in, Hex. I really like Colbur Berry on Jellicent to lure Pursuit trappers and then burning them to hugely cripple them. Jellicent also can turn to Chesnaught if it needs to absorb a Dark type move.
I'm tingling such delicious tingle,
I'm trembling, what the hell does that mean?
I'm freezing that's because it's cold out.
But still I'm incandescent
And like some adolescent
I'd like to scrawl on ev'ry wall I see
She loves me!
She loves me!!!

Mega Steelix has found itself getting chosen over Mega Aggron in quite a few builds due to a few attributes. For starters, Mega Steelix has that secondary Ground typing to absorb Electric moves, it also has a higher Special Defense stat, and it’s even more solid at checking Latias. Mega Steelix also finds itself to be more solid at Curse sweeping than Mega Aggron. Mega Steelix is a solid bulky win condition for this team and is just another fat piece to the puzzle by being my Steel-type.
Ice cream. He brought me ice cream!
Vanilla ice cream! Imagine that!
Ice cream, and for the first time, we were together without a spat!

So if you’re going to use Mega Steelix as your win condition, then you usually want a wish passer as well due to Mega Steelix having no reliable recovery. Florges is my pick because it is the best Wish passer for the job since it doesn’t stack the Fighting weakness with Mega Steelix like Blissey and Umbreon and Sylveon is usually inferior to Florges. Florges not only Wish passes but supports the rest of the team by removing any status that could jeapordize the longevity of my fat mons on this team. I have 96 Speed EVs on this set so that I can outspeed Adamant Crawdaunt.
I wish I knew exactly how I'll act

I spill the water or the wine

Starmie has definitely seen better days, but it is my choice of a Rapid Spinner for my team. I decided to get a little crafty with this set and gave it an Electrium Z with Z-Thunder to punish anything that thinks they can safely come in like Empoleon and Mega Blastoise. I also have Protect on this Starmie which I’ve found to be quite useful to scout Choice Scarf users like Krookodile and Hydreigon. This is just a cool Starmie that throws down with anything that attempts to check it.
Call me fool,
That's alright with me.
Here's my rule,
Never disagree.
Where's my pride?
Swallowed long ago.

Where it doesn't show.

So to finish the team off, here’s a Hydreigon! Specs Hydreigon is on this team as an immensly strong wallbreaker outside of my Mega Steelix. I felt like my team lacked immediate power and didn’t have a floating mon so of course slapping on a Hydreigon would alleviate both of these issues. Nothing really to say about it just that it’s fairly standard and that it gets the job done.
So that’s the team! One of the biggest issues with this team is that Starmie isn’t really fast enough to be my speed control so I’m lacking in that department but it overall has been fairly solid! Thanks if you read the whole thing to the end here!

Specs Jigglypuff HJAD Jmash324 tondas I know that I’ve barely really talked to any of you but I enjoy coming on the PU Discord’s voice chat so that I can learn more about the meta from you guys! I’ve always been intrigued by the tier so I’m glad that I can learn and understand it more by going into discussion about it.
Sir Pin StickingGum Yay two new friends! It’s nice to expand outward and meet new people to talk to in other tiers! You both are just fairly chill people and Pin, the Heatmor revolution still marches onward!
