I agree with most of the other votes that sage’s is most consistent
Sage has a pretty darn good set here. Good job thinking of it!
Seconding (or seventhing) sage's set
The Sage of the 6
Sage
the winner of this previous week is Sage grats!
Hydreigon has been gaining a lot more popularity and usage recently, most notably in Snake. It has a really good typing and a variety of sets it has to offer. Its rising usage means that an effective way to remove it is through a lure.
Submissions are due Sunday 9th September 11:59 GMT+1. Good luck?

Rotom-Mow @ Buginium Z
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Signal Beam
- Volt Switch
- Leaf Storm
- Defog / Thunderbolt / Hidden Power Fire / Will-O-Wisp / Whatever
252 SpA Rotom-Mow Savage Spin-Out (140 BP) vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Hydreigon: 286-338 (88 - 104%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock
Heya folks, I'm back with another Z-Move lure Rotom-Mow, and this time it's buginium. This not only eliminates Hydreigon, guaranteed, after Stealth Rock damage, which is pretty huge given that Hydreigon is generally a pretty safe answer to mowtom and is therefore easily lured by it, but it also heavily chunks Latias and KOes Mega Sceptile and Celebi.

Slowbro @ Icium Z
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Thunder Wave
- Slack Off
Hydreigon its a common switch to Slowbro, the plan its to Subzero Slammer on the switch in, or just spamming Thunder Wave to cripple and in next turns proceed to Subzero Slammer. This also can works against other threats such Celebi, Rotom-C or Latias.

Krookodile @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Knock Off
- Pursuit
- Dragon Claw
Ok so I changed my mon since I had no idea that Aura Sphere on Raikou was event exclusive and had to have a Rash nature. So I present to you all Plan B! Hydreigon is one of the best pivots against Scarfed Krook. I’ve actually seen a Dragon Claw tech on Krookodile before and it definitely caught me off guard. Dragon Claw solidly 2HKOs Hydreigon and because of the mon’s omnipresence, it’s not that insane to put this as your 4th moveslot (4th slot is filler anyway on Scarf Krook).

Crawdaunt @ Choice Band
Ability: Adaptability
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crabhammer
- Knock Off
- Superpower
- Aqua Jet
Hydreigon is one of Crawdaunt's strongest checks and is usually able to switch into and dispatch most traditional Crawdaunt sets. A Choice Band-boosted Superpower easily KOs Hydreigon and allows Crawdaunt to make full use of its devastatingly strong dual STABs for the rest of the game.
Jellicent @ Fairium Z
Ability: Water Absorb
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Dazzling Gleam
- Scald
- Recover
- Will-O-Wisp
Jellicent has been getting popular lately and I believe it can definitely lure in Hydreigon since it can resist both stabs and doesn't care about Will-O-Wisp either.Dazzling Gleam is a pretty cool tech but you kinda need the Fairium Z since a regular Dazzling Gleam can't really OHKO. The fact that you don't see leftovers on Jellicent makes for some cool mindgames as well. This set does most functions of a regular jellicent check except for Taunt-ing stuff so I took ou the speed to max out defense. Enjoy!

Voting is due by Wednesday 9pm GMT -7
fairium jellicent the uupl v special
voting the Slowbro
As neat as the Jelli set is, I think the Krook set is far more viable while working well as a lure so DClaw Krook gets my vote
accelgor
Accelgor. CB Daunt is criminally underrated imo.
