The Team

Samuel Rodrigues (Blaziken) @ Life Orb
Ability: Speed Boost
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- Protect

Blaziken is my settup sweeper. Most of the time if the opponent lets Blaziken loose with SD and Speed Boost the chicken can easily win the game. I mostly use it because its very effective at doing damage early game to the enemy team (from what i saw)

Steven Armstrong (Dragonite) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Ice Spinner

From what i've noticed alot of the time Dragonite is one of my last pokemons standing. Generally he closes out games this specific moveset allows him to hit a variety of pokemon. Dragonite is also very dangerous because the famous DD Boosted Tera Normal STAB E.Speed can easily wipeout damaged teams. The only issue that i noticed with this mon is that if you dont kill his counters early on : He will fail. So before using this mon i always try to deal with his counters before knowing he cant do anything if they are still available on the enemy hand.


Boris (Greninja) @ Life Orb
Ability: Battle Bond
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Dark Pulse
- Water Shuriken
- Ice Beam

To be honest i only put this mon on the team because i thought he would be usefull. And he was usefull so im happy. Even tho greninja doesn't always get kills or sweeps hes very good for chipping down the other team and has great coverage with ice beam for dragon types and water shuriken priority. I really like battle bond and activating it makes this mon WAY better.

Sundowner (Metagross) @ Leftovers
Ability: Clear Body
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Atk / 96 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Psychic Fangs
- Knock Off
- Stealth Rock

Metagross is probably one of my favourite pokemon OAT so i couldn't not put him in my first fully built team (that i actually thought of while making it). I truly needed him for psychic coverage being able to one shot clodsire with psychic fangs and one shotting glimmora w/Heavy Slam. I could've always used an extra stealth rock setter and of course he's immune to Toxic which for me is insanely good. I noticed i also needed a steel type because i easily lost games to fairy types if they got too much damage off or to gliscor toxic spam.

Courtney Collins (Primarina) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Torrent
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
Modest Nature
- Surf
- Moonblast
- Flip Turn
- Psychic Noise

Great pokemon overall. I use her sometimes for pivoting or for murdering innocent DD Roaring Moons since prima survives acrobatics from it. I used the AV set because i wanted some more SpDef on the team. I have Tera Steel on her because as you read already i love being immune to toxic.

Jack the Ripper (Samurott-Hisui) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sharpness
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Ceaseless Edge
- Razor Shell
- Aqua Jet
- Knock Off

I really liked Samurott Hisui ever since it got released because of the multiple roles it has. It can do great damage with Sharpness Ceaseless Edge and set up spikes. Aqua Jet gives it priority to revenge kill. Knock off to remove annoying items like HDB. I used Sash because i thought i wouldn't need another AV mon with primarina already on the team.


If you have any criticism or changes i could do to make the team better i'll be happy to take it

Hi I really like how you want to use blaziken I’m a fan of that Mon. I noticed how you mentioned set-up sweeper so that makes me think you want to consider a more offensive team. Additionally dragonite and blaziken would be able to more effectively set up with screens. No into the changes.

1.
Blaziken @ Airballoon
Ability: Speed Boost
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Steel
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Flare Blitz
- Close Combat
- Protect
I opted for air ballon to give blaziken an immunity to ground to give it a setup chance vs mons like with no fighting stab. I feel tera steel is good here as it gives you a toxic immunity and also you become less vulnerable to some priority like espeed.

2. Next change is opting for the dragon dance dragonite set

Dragonite @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Multiscale
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Normal
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Extreme Speed
- Earthquake
- Ice Spinner


Since you are running dragonite with priority you’ll be able to afford the adamant nature especially with the extreme speed set you become a gigantic threat especially late game as it picks off any remaining offensive mons.

3.
Going into bigger changes I suggest > as much as I like metagross it is not really that effective in today’s metagame.


Kingambit @ Black Glasses
Ability: Supreme Overlord
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Dark
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Kowtow Cleave
- Iron Head

4.
Samurott-Hisui @ Focus Sash
Ability: Sharpness
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Ghost
Jolly Nature
- Ceaseless Edge
- Razor Shell
- Aqua Jet
- Taunt

I opted for taunt here as you can keep your spikes from getting defogged away from the likes of for example.

5.


Primarina @ Custap berry
Ability: Torrent
EVs: 80 HP / 252 SpA / 176 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk
Tera Type: Steel
Modest Nature
- Calm Mind
- Hydro pump
- Moonblast
- psychic noise

opted for a calm mind set here as it’s more in tune with the nature of your team. I think custap berry here is a great choice. If prim gets into low range your opponent can be met with a digusting torrent boosted hydro pump. It can additionally have the possibility of calming kills in faster offensive Pokémon.

6. last major change I would think this team can benefit from another faster Mon and that can also help vs opposing offense my mind is telling me :zamazents: >

Zama gives you the chance to roar away mons with booster energy making them a bit less threatening when they come back in. Zamazenta provides yet another resistance to ’s dark stab. Tera fire allows it to potentially set up on the likes of .


Zamazenta @ Leftovers
Ability: Dauntless Shield
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 Spe
Tera Type: Steel
Jolly Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Crunch
- Heavy Slam

These are the changes I suggest I hope you find them adequate happy laddering!
