Purging a few outdated ag sets, sorry for double post

scarf mirai

Miraidon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Hadron Engine
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Electric
Modest Nature
- Electro Drift
- Draco Meteor
- Overheat
- U-turn

Scarf mirai should probably be in other options. It recieves barely any tour play and Lu shuts it down very easily relative to other sets

Offensive setup

Arceus @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 236 HP / 252 Atk / 20 Spe
Tera Type: Ghost
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Shadow Claw
- Recover

This set is incredibly similar to the bulky swords dance set, just with a suboptimal tera type.

Bulky sd

Arceus @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spe
Tera Type: Fire
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Shadow Claw
- Recover

Speaking of this set, the tera types are "Fire/Normal." imo, these should be switched to Normal/Fire. Normal recieves more usage due to OHKOing Korai and Mirai at +2, which is better than a burn immunity on most teams.

2nd def fairy(?)

Arceus-Fairy @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Water
Bold Nature
- Judgment
- Recover
- Thunder Wave
- Stealth Rock

There are two defensive fairyceus sets and this one is suboptimal as rocks aren't used as often relative to wow, pgem, or even taunt.

2nd def groundy

Arceus-Ground @ Earth Plate
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe
Tera Type: Fairy
Bold Nature
- Judgment
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stealth Rock

There are two def groundy sets and this one doesn't have an analysis

2nd off gira-o

Giratina-Origin @ Griseous Core
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 184 HP / 188 Atk / 136 SpD
Tera Type: Steel
Adamant Nature
- Poltergeist
- Shadow Sneak
- Dragon Tail
- Defog

We don't need two offensive gira-os and this one doesn't have an analysis

sticky web bee

Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Ghost
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Moonblast
- Quiver Dance
- Pounce

I would like to ask to delete this set. It is suboptimal compared to the set below

lead bee

Ribombee @ Focus Sash
Ability: Shield Dust
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Ghost
Timid Nature
- Sticky Web
- Moonblast
- Stun Spore
- U-turn

U-turn/Charm are basically unviable. Pounce is better for Deo-s MU.

this is the end of the purge!
this smogon page really needs to be updated lol

Jaishy Just for future reference, if you see the below disclaimer on an analysis, you can safely assume the QC team is already aware it may be outdated :)
