Alcremie. The Cake Pokemon arouses an aroma of dread in the teambuilder. The serenity of its mind striking deadly fear onto any foes not prepared for its devastating gleams (glares?), even more deadly than its alluring voice, draining kisses, or the stored power from within. As foes attempt to whittle it down with attacks and hazards, they realize the only way to beat it is to bring their own Alcremie, or a Quiver Dance user like the Oricorios. In light of the setup battle, this will surely cease the treat's crusade.
(What do you mean Haze/Roar/Whirlwind/Trick/Switcheroo users exist?)
WRONG.
Gathering the tears of foes who do not say "glhf" and "gg" of each battle, Alcremie weaponizes them to create tears of its own. But they are not genuine tears of sorrow. They are FAKE TEARS. Yes, Alcremie guarantees its own successful sweep by sharply lowering its opponent's defenses instead. No longer will Alcremie have to rely on wars of attrition (or critical hits) to emerge victorious in the setup battles. Now, it has a tool to reliably break them down first (unless of course, you get crit'ed at +6. That would mean the RNG Gods have conspired against you and you must now direct vengeance against them). The Alcremie impostors and Oricorio formes no longer hold Alcremie back from sweeping; now, the treat will be free to dazzle foes into surrender. To further coerce opposing Alcremie, Tera Steel demonstrates its imperviousness to possible gleams, kisses, voices, and stored powers.
The other five slots are just there to provide support for Alcremie. They'll never be Alcremie, so you shall never truly need them for battle.
...
LIES. You believed I was adamant on them being wastes of teamslots?
The praise of the treat terror ends here and the analysis of its teammates commences. Sandaconda slides forward as a most excellent Stealth Rock setter - rather than deliver equaling menacing Glares to faster foes, it uses Stones to gain the Edge over unsuspecting Flying foes, like Bombirdier, Dodrio, and the Oricorio formes. No longer shall it be setup fodder, for now the Sand Snake Pokemon now has a tool to hit many birds with one stone. And Rest assured, as after many turns of getting hit by physical attacks, a sleeping Sandaconda can fully restore its health and shed any acquired status prior.
The blight against all Volt Switch immunities, Hisuian Electrode is arguably the second foulest threat in the ZU meta, only eclipsed by the catastrophic cake itself. It brings to the team valuable Speed control, a near unstoppable Volt Switch whose secondary STABs obliterate Volt Switch immunities, and play so foul not even Hoopa or Belly Drum Charizard can hope to eclipse it. This scowling sphere shall spell all doom against slower Choice Scarf users and teams unable to deal with its STAB combination.
Hailing from the chilly depths of Frosty Grotto, Articuno's impenetrable Special bulk allows it to live even the menacing Hisuian Electrode's Electric STABs, and threaten to ice it with Freeze-Dry in return. The bird's EV spread was fairly flexible, but 30 Speed EVs were needed to outslow opposing Articunos with U-turns; Tera Fairy shifted its Rock, Electric, and Fighting vulnerabilities around, and making it a much better Knock Off absorber. Hurricane's harsh gusts swept away unsuspecting Fighting-types like Passimian and Toxicroak with its great power, taking away their opportunities to pivot and setup...permanently. Underestimate the Freeze Pokemon at your own peril, lest your own Pokemon suffers a blizzard of pain.
Before Alcremie commences the sweeping process, other teammates must begin the show with huge impact. Bruxish's STAB moves cause devastation to the opposition, posing the roles of a dangerous wallbreaker, revenge killer, and pivot all in one slot. Its Psychic Fangs and Wave Crashes cause even popular defensive stalwarts like Snorlax, Regirock, and pre-Acid Armor Alcremie to tremble in fear. No Pokemon is safe from Bruxish's 2HKOing potential (except Veluza, Cacturne, and a Terastalized Poliwrath).
Its claws deadly as the night, its edge sharper than steel...yes, Hisuian Sneasel closes the team out as an excellent Toxic immunity, Swords Dance wincon, and secondary Speed control. Its STAB combination is excellent at discouraging popular walls like Alcremie, Snorlax, and Regirock, all in one slot. To further secure its deadly Speed, Trailblaze can lead the way to revenge faster foes like Hisuian Electrode and Jolteon, and even Choice Scarfers like Typhlosion and Medicham. Do not fear of Hisuian Sneasel losing concentration on its goal, for its Inner Focus prevents the venomous Qwilfish formes from lowering its Attack, nor shall it ever be flinched by the untimely flinches from Scarf Shaymin's Air Slashes.
Test this team out in the light of a now banned king of the sea!
