Metagame USUM Pure Hackmons

sample submission: mamoswine stall



the big mamoswine stall. to make ransei happy: this team went 31-0 on ladder with as far as im aware the fastest 90 gxe on ladder, i'm not the only person who was using this on ladder as well (i've faced akyrosi using it and i've seen other people mentioning facing the team), and because it has the funny mamoswine it attracts new players or whatever. for people who don't care about that stuff, i will leave replays against competant players below. this is also the first double innards stall.

LADDER WILTED ROSE EMOJI

View attachment 807752i went 31 games before losing, but i don't have that screenshot so you'll have to take my word that i won another 2 games. as far as im aware, this is also the fastest 90 gxe on the usum ladder.

there's more but im bored of searching "replay" in my history and clicking random ones until a game with mamo stall comes up so this i'm not doing anymore.

bad matchups

this team manages to have a good matchup into many teams in this metagame, however like every other team it has its bad matchups which i will go over here.



because of ho-oh, rock setters who can get past mamoswine can be can issue, however with mcoat maud you can play around them and they are not an auto loss. there will probably be a replay or 2 showing this. rock setters who get past mamoswine include ng mgar with mgeist as opposed to zap cannon, ng with inferno, ng with horn drill, fissure paired with pursuit, and mold breaker.



3 guys you need to use innards on. the most obvious example of this is triple mmx because ignoring the innards the team has 0 mmx answers, tho outside of that this is does not happen very often because ho-oh checks sunsteel lacking cfzs or electric. this could also be pursuit guy (like slak) + 2 guys you need to innards, but this is even more rare (i've never even faced it) and you can probably outplay considering it's playing mindgames on scarf innards and you can remove it by getting imposter in and using pursuit a couple of times.



magic guard pursuit. it's not as much of an issue as you would think thanks to max defense innards + scarf timid baton innards but you aren't still completely safe from it. the only magic guards i've seen that can trap it are jolly kartana (it needs jolly to outspeed scarf innards) and deo a.



magic guard sweepers with perfect coverage. i wouldn't really be that worried about these, as magic guard sweepers are rare to begin with, and perfect coverage is even rarer. the most common ones are i think pdon (who ho-oh can usually wall because that guy likes freeze dry), and deo a who maud and ho-oh can stomach a hit from to spectral.

drifblim

i am not submitting this version as a sample, but i think it's worth noting. drifblim is a viable option over innards chansey on this team because with scarf baton it is much tricker to trap, sometimes being able to die to special attackers is actually preferable, and you have mamoswine to (hopefully) keep rocks off. i have actually won games with this too which you will see in the replay section this is not just a funny thought i had.

i would like to mention that yourself could have well got a much larger winstreak if i didn’t get a lucky crit on their 32nd game. If u make anything a sample make it this

Fuck it, if everyone's submitting samples, I might as well submit one as well. https://pokepast.es/8c3f5f1fb2dd6961
It's better than Ash Ketchun and has an appeal to it that might draw in the new player, so its clearly a worthwhile sample. If you want a better team, https://pokepast.es/24c6c89231282894 should be good enough to be sample-worthy, while maintaining the "appeal" factor that's the cause of at least one sample being on the list.
