I found this team on internet somwhere, I don't remember, and it's prety good but I want to upgrade it for the new home Meta, or just upgrade it at all, as not to be left behind, all criticism welcome !​

Breloom@ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Mach Punch
- Bullet Seed

Breloom is my way of dealing with ground, rock and and dark types alike, he's always been reliable, even after the new ones arrived, he can even spore to guaranty a sleep with his focus sash;

Tera Type: Ghost

Is flamethrower getting anything volcarona can't do with fiery dance? I know there's QD boosts already, but I thought fiery dance was standard.

Pretty good team on paper. With that being said and with the Home meta being so new, it's hard to suggest a mon to swap with. I would play around with the team and figure out that for yourself.

Anyway, here are some light suggestions for optimization of what you currently have.


Tera grass --> tera fighting
With the current home meta, tera-fighting boosted mach punch will get you farther than tera grass-boosted bullet seed IMO.


Thunderbolt --> Shadow ball
The stab move will get you farther than whatever coverage you may gain from Thunderbolt. If you really want to use Thunderbolt then I would say to swap it with nasty plot but either way, I would have shadow ball and make it rain as your two main attacking moves.


flamethrower --> fiery dance

It's just better.

Certain calcs are better with Flamethrower, Fiery Dance started becoming the standard this generation but prior, most Volcs run Flamethrower because of accuracy + power. Fiery Dance in my preference is better in bulkier Volc sets so I think Fiery Dance looks better here.
