Bombirdier @ Life Orb
Ability: Keen Eye
Level: 50
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 92 HP / 252 Atk / 164 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Sucker Punch
- Brave Bird
- Taunt
- Parting Shot
Put this for Annihilape, Hippo, and somewhat Gholdengo. EVs for +speed 70s like Loom(see it rarely,) max Atk, rest in bulk. 252 Spe Adamant does not reach high enough iirc. Tera Flying for boosted Apes and a great attack besides, Keen Eye is because I have 0 else to fight Minimize Drifblim(and I don't easily fit a rock move on for Rocky Payload.) Sucker Punch is really good for Gholdengo, and gives minor coverage, Taunt is for Hippo mainly, and Parting Shot is great all around. Decent enough mon I'd say. This and Tera are required for Sylveon.
EDIT: Put in taunt lol
Orthworm @ Leftovers
Ability: Earth Eater
Level: 50
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Def / 12 Spe
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Iron Defense
- Metal Burst
- Substitute
Here for a really long time. Handles EQ-centric dragons w/ Earth Eater, Glimmora, Meowscarada, etc. EVs to outspeed uninvested Dirge and 65s like Umbreon, rest in bulk w/ Def maximized ahead of HP since it's my damage dealing stat too. Poison tera for fighting resist and 1 weakness only, Metal Burst is for some special attackers, the ones where I live a hit. Substitute totally stops Garganacl, even if it's EQ or Fissure. Better than having to run Covert Cloak somewhere, imo.
Appletun @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Thick Fat
Level: 50
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 236 Def / 20 SpA
Modest Nature
- Apple Acid
- Draco Meteor
- Recover
- Iron Defense
I can't recall why this is here. EVs ko something, and rest in phys. def since that's what this takes w/ Iron Def+Recover. Thick Fat is amazing, terad it gains an ice resist, and either way is resistant to fire. Rocky Helmet to me is better than Lefties, I've broken some stuff just w/ that, like Maushold and Kingambit. Draco Meteor over the old Dragon Pulse to actually ohko things, especially dragons that use STAB, only for it to be not effective. Gets Heracross very well, if terad.
Tauros-Paldea-Water @ Assault Vest
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 204 HP / 180 Atk / 4 Def / 4 SpD / 116 Spe
Careful Nature
- Raging Bull
- Close Combat
- Trailblaze
- Wild Charge
This was put for Palafin-H/Floatzel, mainly. EVs reflect this, w/ just enough Atk to 2hko Palafin through Trailblaze into a (faster) Wild Charge. Ohkos Floatzel after Wave Crash recoil(non-tera, non-rain Wave Crash, even.) Screens have been a bit of a problem for me, Raging Bull is strong STAB that gets them. Spe is again for max 70s, the rest in bulk. This is too new to properly judge. Tera Grass is what I had from raid(other is a plain one from overworld,) seems good for grass and electric attacks, and for a small buff to Trailblaze.
Mismagius @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
Level: 50
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 188 HP / 4 Def / 60 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Trick
- Power Gem
- Thunderbolt
This has also been here a really long time. EVs almost always(had to reduce HP by 2, was misssing kos on Annihilape in certain situations) take unboosted Gholdengo's Shadow Ball, and 2hko back. Spe for max Scarf Ape. Electric tera for t-bolt and 0 weaknesses, though I'm not sure if I should change it if I drop T-bolt. Mismagius is a superb user of Trick, as she inexplicably attracts Taunt, can attract Trick to be used on her, wasting their time, and is surprising, meaning they won't switch their stall into a scarfer unless that made sense anyways. Power Gem is mainly for Volcarona, came in handy vs. Frosmoth though(although technically Mystical Fire might be better there.)
Forretress @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Overcoat
Level: 50
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Atk / 12 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Rock Blast
- Ice Spinner
- Earthquake
- Pin Missile
Put sorta recently for Espathra. It does a lot more I'm finding, particularly w/ tera or on their switch if I call it(5 hits of Rock Blast gets Rotom-h for example, or any # I can get ohkos volcarona.) Some other things this can beat include Hydreigon, Garchomp, DNite, weak armor Ceruldge/Armarouge, Breloom cause of Overcoat, though it hasn't come up, Baxcalibur, etc. EQ over Counter is new because I now have Tauros for the two big rain hitters, EQ hits Magnezone very hard(who was not beatable before.) Max Atk is neccessary for Espathra behind sub, I'm pretty sure. The rest in bulk w/ an odd # of HP and 12 SpD to reduce te chance of unboosted Pult 2hkoing terad w/ Fire Blast.
In recent times it's been like 1:1. I'm still many losses ahead cause of earlier, but there's some improvement.
