Notes: Torna-T can shut down many things like tr, and it has multiple speed control options. Tera ghost i felt was a solid defense for some reason but i might change it to something else. Icy wind+tailwind was the core idea as with Kingambit I could outspeed 100+ speed mons. Focus sash was needed after I was dying to expanding forces and thunderbolt consistently
Urshifu: standard set with slightly altered ev’s, nothing special. It synergizes well by being able to almost support Kingambit and pick up ko’s on bulky Pokémon like dondozo. Tera water was purely for damage and for no defensive reason.
Raging Bolt: Snarl to check opposing flutters or bolts with a bulky spread. This isn’t a setup bolt but it can still stick around for multiple turns and synergizes well with urshifu, as it can do significant damage to dozo or crown indeedee.
Kingambit: I put a band on it because I was probably going to spam a move, and it works as it can Ohko chien-pao, iron crown, and sometimes flutter. I usually end up spamming kowtow cleave anyway so it just felt right. Like most of this team its tera is purely offense so it can Ohko other threats like dondozo or ting Lu.
Amoonguss: Standard set but i felt it belonged as support was lacking in the team and this is an offensive team that will need it. Besides for that i think the spread is pretty average, and I wont need to focus on it too much.
Gholdengo: I felt gholdengo belonged here because it could do ridiculous damage to meta threats and with a semi-bulky spread could do 2-3 make it rain’s before dying. This is a setup Mon that can outlive 252spe gholdengos and dish out damage with shadow ball as it is not limited by choice specs. The bulk has been working as i am surving attacks from incineroar as well as ground types like ting-Lu.

Reg F btw

hello! oh hi omastar to you as well! kingambit should most certainly NOT have supreme overlord and replace it with defiant. replace tornadus-t with tornadus-i for prankster, regen isnt too broken in doubles. gl on ladder, ill be watching the thread to help.
