damn no votes at all :( took me a while to find that set
Dragalge / Roaring moon for me

 

[STEELDRAGON]

Arcanine and Dragalge

 

[callforjudgement]

Voting for Roaring Moon and Garganacl. (My votes on these are based primarily around "what would actually persuade the thing we're trying to lure to switch in" – otherwise you're just countering/checking rather than luring.)

looking like a clean sweep this week, nice submissions fellas

 

[Setsu]

Congrats to Magcargo and Skeledirge for winning Week 4. The set is now added in the Hall of Fame.

For Week 5 of Lure that Threat we have Choice Band Chien-Pao


Chien-Pao @ Choice Band
Ability: Sword of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Ice Shard / Sucker Punch
- Ice Spinner / Icicle Crash
- Sacred Sword ​

With the recent Chi-Yu ban, Choice Band Chien-Pao has become one of the most dangerous breakers in the tier. With it's blazing speed allowing it to get the jump on Iron Valiant, as well as Roaring Moon and Cinderace if it's running Jolly. Tera Dark lets it 2HKO even resists such as max HP Azumarill. With all this power Chien-Pao tends to be tasked to revenging certain threats, which can make it rather susceptible to be lure. What Pokemon are able to do this?

ID Garg is a very good counter to Roaring Moon, so you Tera, you trap and you setup. You can hope a critical hit and you pp stall anyway. They can’t damage you except with Salt Cure’s base damage.

Weaville-

- The mon that lost all viablility when chien-pao arrived.

Thinking that it can switch into any move that weaville uses, it switches in and gets hit by a choice scarfed low kick.
Weavile @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pickpocket
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 96 HP / 220 Atk / 192 Spe
Adamant Nature
IVs: 0 SpA

Tera Bug Pollen Puff Amoonguss

Amoonguss @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 248 HP / 224 Def / 36 SpAtk
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Pollen Puff
- Sludge Bomb
- Foul Play
- Spore

In the true spirit of MudkipNerd, I present Tera Bug Amoonguss. Pao is normally content to switch in on Amoonguss, especially if brought in safely by a teammate, and threatens the OHKO with Icicle Crash/Ice Spinner. Tera Bug allows Amoonguss to bulk the hit and fire back with a now STAB Pollen Puff that OHKOs after Rocky Helmet chip if Pao is running Ice Spinner. Tera Bug is preferred over a Tera type such as Water or Steel as it enables Amoonguss to retain key resistances to Fighting and Grass that allow it to continue to check other threats such as Breloom, Meowscarada and Quaquaval as well as an improved match-up against Great Tusk, now resisting both of its STABs. Pollen Puff also hits Roaring Moon and the rare Lokix and Hydreigon, as well as Espathra on the switch.

Calcs:
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 224+ Def Tera Bug Amoonguss: 267-315 (61.8 - 72.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock
36 SpA Tera Bug Amoonguss Pollen Puff vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Chien-Pao: 252-296 (83.7 - 98.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Rocky Helmet damage
36 SpA Tera Bug Amoonguss Pollen Puff vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Roaring Moon: 176-210 (50.1 - 59.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Reserving Garchomp

Garchomp @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Rough Skin
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Endure
- Earthquake
- Dragon Tail
- Spikes

Most Chomps right now are ChainChomp, aka without any HP/Def investment, which is OHKO by Pao, so Pao feels safe.
252+ Atk Choice Band Dark Tera Type Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Garchomp affected by Sword of Ruin: 198-234 (108.1 - 127.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

This Endure set will always 1v1 the Pao spread listed above.
Endure chomp is my baby right now. Shout out Gen 6. M-Lop still having war flashbacks.
This set is wild vs offense in general. Proud to bring this back to the meta.

Pao takes 28% chip when it attacks with Crunch, then another with Endure, so Pao loses 56% HP.
Chomp always lives a Crunch so you Can EQ, then endure, to always win the 1v1 when locked into Crunch or Sacred

Terra Water is for locked into Crash, which it seems to rarely be locked into.
You even win if they get a flinch lol
252+ Atk Choice Band Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Garchomp affected by Sword of Ruin: 56-66 (26 - 30.6%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

4 Atk Garchomp Earthquake vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chien-Pao: 163-193 (54.1 - 64.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Really though, this is just a pain for the bread and butter CB Terra Dark Crunch set.
252+ Atk Choice Band Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Garchomp affected by Sword of Ruin: 106-126 (49.3 - 58.6%) -- 98.8% chance to 2HKO
As long as you keep chomp around, Pao can't spam Crunch unless it wants to take 56%.
If you have SR/Spikes up, this limits Pao switch-ins heavily.

Also, it might just be my luck, by more often than not I get double endure.
It's 1/3 chance for you to be able to click it twice in a row, not bad really.

 

[zaydapoketrainer]

No offense, but not sure if other posters realize this is "lure that threat" not revenge kill that threat.
Pao isn't staying in on some of these mons either if locked into the wrong move...

So anyway, actual lures.
Mons that Pao swears it can 1v1 when locked into certain moves
Gonna try to focus as much as I can on not winning via Terra.
You could lure any mon with a random Terra...
I did add Tera aspects to these sets, but really those are secondary/emergency options.

Brute Bonnet @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 56 Atk / 200 Def
Impish Nature
- Close Combat
- Spore
- Synthesis
- Seed Bomb

Now this is a lure.
It's slower, and weak to Crash and Sword.
It scares out Crunch locked Pao and doesn't care if it's Terra Dark, then allows a spore or recovery for later on the switch.

252+ Atk Choice Band Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Brute Bonnet affected by Sword of Ruin: 54-64 (24.7 - 29.3%) -- 99.9% chance to 4HKO
With HDB it always lives the other attacks
252+ Atk Choice Band Chien-Pao Sacred Sword vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Brute Bonnet affected by Sword of Ruin: 162-192 (74.3 - 88%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 200+ Def Brute Bonnet affected by Sword of Ruin: 154-182 (70.6 - 83.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

If you Terra Fairy, Crash turns into a 3hko, crunch and sacred of course 4 and 5hko, respectively.

56 Atk Brute Bonnet Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chien-Pao: 140-166 (90.3 - 107%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
A full HP Pao is a myth, but if you happen to not get rocks up, spikes up, tpikes up, some RH chip, or any chip then u might need to Terra fairy if you don't want to risk a low roll or flinch.
Worst case scenario they have a Pao at 10% or asleep lol

If you're worried about the mythical full HP Pao this spread lets you always OHKO and live any attack
Brute Bonnet @ Heavy-Duty Boots

Ability: Libero
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pyro Ball
- U-turn
- High Jump Kick
- Court Change

Pao's strength comes from Terra Dark Crunch, which is a OHKO on this soccer rabbit.
Unless, you're scarfed ayyy
Scarf Cinder is slept on enough for a Pao to not assume you are scarf.
U-turn is almost a clean OHKO, and of course HJK is a OHKO
Obviously don't reveal it early, but worse case scenario they switch out as you U-Turn for momentum.

252 Atk Protean Cinderace U-turn vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chien-Pao: 134-158 (86.4 - 101.9%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Protean Cinderace High Jump Kick vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Chien-Pao: 248-294 (160 - 189.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO
-
Between these 3 sets, you should be able to catch a Pao off guard and remove it from the battle.

gotta pick one i think

252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 252 HP / 100+ Def Ting-Lu: 362-428 (70.4 - 83.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Rabsca @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Leppa Berry
Ability: Synchronize
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpA
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Revival Blessing
- Trick Room
- Bug Buzz
- Psyshock

Standard TR Rabsca but with HDB as an option to guarantee 100% HP. With that bulk you barely live 1 CB Icicle Crash if its already locked into it.
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Tera Fairy Rabsca: 297-351 (84.1 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Tera Fairy lets you tank CB Tera Dark Crunch without issue and lets you Trick Room in its face.
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Tera Fairy Rabsca: 187-220 (52.9 - 62.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

If it is locked to Sucker Punch, you can set up Trick Room and Revival Blessing while it is forced to either switch or stay to get Sucker Punch off.
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Sucker Punch vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Tera Fairy Rabsca: 164-193 (46.4 - 54.6%) -- 59.8% chance to 2HKO

Sacred Sword lol
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Sacred Sword vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Tera Fairy Rabsca: 105-124 (29.7 - 35.1%) -- 17.3% chance to 3HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Sacred Sword vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Rabsca: 52-62 (14.7 - 17.5%) -- possible 6HKO

Two Ice Shards fail to KO as well.
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Ice Shard vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Tera Fairy Rabsca: 141-166 (39.9 - 47%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

If Rabsca is in full HP, you can guarantee a TR use and always kill with Bug Buzz. There is no way other than a crit for Rabsca to lose.
252+ SpA Tera Fairy Rabsca Bug Buzz vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera Dark Chien-Pao: 420-494 (139.5 - 164.1%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Let's give this forgotten bug a little limelight in this lure option. HDB vs Leppa Berry comes down to whether you think you will get 2 Revival Blessings off, or want safer switches with hazards around. I prefer HDB myself.

252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Sacred Sword vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tera Fighting Blissey: 337-397 (47.1 - 55.6%) -- 78.5% chance to 2HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tera Fighting Blissey: 300-353 (42 - 49.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

blissey is like the one mon that cnien pao can come in and cause havoc, with tera fighting you live both crunch, icicle crash, and sacred sword and screw it over with a counter

It lost counter in the gen shift, iirc.

[Wolf-X]

Congrats to Magcargo and Skeledirge for winning Week 4. The set is now added in the Hall of Fame.

For Week 5 of Lure that Threat we have Choice Band Chien-Pao


Chien-Pao @ Choice Band
Ability: Sword of Ruin
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly / Adamant Nature
- Crunch
- Ice Shard / Sucker Punch
- Ice Spinner / Icicle Crash
- Sacred Sword ​

With the recent Chi-Yu ban, Choice Band Chien-Pao has become one of the most dangerous breakers in the tier. With it's blazing speed allowing it to get the jump on Iron Valiant, as well as Roaring Moon and Cinderace if it's running Jolly. Tera Dark lets it 2HKO even resists such as max HP Azumarill. With all this power Chien-Pao tends to be tasked to revenging certain threats, which can make it rather susceptible to be lure. What Pokemon are able to do this?

Submissions end of Tuesday January 17th at 23:59 EST ​

Ceruledge @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Weak Armor
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 248 HP / 132 Atk / 128 Def
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Shadow Sneak
- Bitter Blade
- Close Combat


Ceruledge easily lures/baits Chienpao to come in to rk/check it and RK with either Sucker or Crunch. Thanks to Tera fighting and some def spread it can survive anything it throws at it, and KO back with either Bitter Blade (healing up to 42% in the proccess) or CC.

It even can afford to Swords Dance in front of ChienPao as no matter what it does it cant OHKO it and it will trigger Weak Armor allowing Ceruledge to outspeed next turn and KO with either bitter blade or CC.

Tera fire can also work and can afford a smaller defense investment, really depends on which resistances you are more interested in and if you want to power up CC or Bitter Blade.

Calcs and indepth:

Chien Attacks:
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Crunch vs. 248 HP / 128 Def Tera Fighting Ceruledge: 187-221 (52.9 - 62.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Icicle Crash vs. 248 HP / 128 Def Tera Fighting Ceruledge: 297-351 (84.1 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Ceruledge survives anything, gets +2 in speed and KOs back with CC or bitter blade if chien cant tera. Ceruledge can even afford to SD in its face (assuming healthy).


Ceruledge without tera fighting already KOing tera dark chienpao:
132+ Atk Ceruledge Close Combat vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Dark Chien-Pao: 308-364 (102.3 - 120.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
It already KOs with bitter blade if it hasnt tera darked and at +2 it KOs even tera dark without the ice weakness.


Extra: cb adamant ChienPao cant KO -1 Def Ceruledge with neither of its priority moves, ceruledge KOs at +2 with bitter, heals and IF sash instead of banded it would finish with shadow sneak.
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Tera Dark Chien-Pao Sucker Punch vs. -1 248 HP / 128 Def Tera Fighting Ceruledge: 245-289 (69.4 - 81.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Atk Choice Band Sword of Ruin Chien-Pao Ice Shard vs. -1 248 HP / 128 Def Tera Fighting Ceruledge: 211-249 (59.7 - 70.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

This ev spread also allows to OHKO dragapult (a possible check) at +2 with shadow sneak.

Tera Fire and Shadow Claw are preferred if u want to be able to 2HKO Skeledirge (assuming tera fairy, if its tera water fighting would still be better as CC would 2HKO)

Alternatives items ONLY if you have very good hazard control could be:
Black Belt: allows it to OHKO great tusks at +2 with tera fighting CC. It survives defensive tusks attacks even at -1 (70% eq) so it might be able to SD again.
Leftovers: not much to say, extra surviability thanks to the healing.


After killing ChienPao it can go and keep trying to sweep.
