Project UU Matchmaking v4 - Week 29: - Special Salamence! (Submissions!)

[Sickist]

Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- U-turn
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Dual Wingbeat

Scizor and Crawdaunt capitalize on each other's checks very well. Scizor beats Tangrowth, Kommo-o, Bulu, Amoonguss, Buzzwole, and chunks stuff like Milotic for Crawdaunt. Crawdaunt threatens Moltres, Rotom-Heat, chunks Salamence, as well as chunking more soft answers such as Rotom-Wash.

Salamence @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Outrage
- Dual Wingbeat
- Earthquake

Mence appreciates crawdaunt's wall breaking abilities early game and can help clean up after all the walls like celesteela and rhyperior are weakened or removed. It's natural typing+ Intimidate helps it check threats to daunt like bulu, zarude, buzzwole, and clanger.

SAFETY GOGGLES NIHILEGOOOOO

Nihilego @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Beast Boost
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Power Gem
- Sludge Wave
- Knock Off
- Toxic Spikes​

What does crawdaunt hate? Bulu, Mence, Among us, Prim etc. This nihilego with safety goggles helps with all of those checks with safety goggles helping with the amoongus spore, tspikes to cripple kommo-o, prim, bulu etc. Not only that but this mon can also sweep late game with all of the holes that crawdaunt would have punched into the opposing team. Overall Nihilego is one of the best crawdaunt switches because not only can daunt help nihilego sweep but nihilego can also help daunt sweep by taking care of its many checks and crippling them with poison too. Also Nihilego is a cool mon ._.

Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Defog
- Pain Split

Rotom-Wash is this weeks bachelor! It has the ability to pressure a lot of teams with the combination of Hydro Pump and Volt Switch, being able to get momentum and bring in an ally. Who pairs well with the washer? You have 4 days to submit, good luck!​

Scizor

Scizor @ Choice Band
Ability: Technician
EVs: 80 HP / 252 Atk / 176 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Dual Wingbeat

Yeah everyone and their mother knows this combo, this is a volturn duo that can just get you in the blender if you don't predict correctly.
They have been super popular for good reasons, they cover each other pretty well as Scizor abuses Tangrowth and Bulu while Washtom takes care of Moltres and Celesteela.
They are iconic

 

[Fusion Flare]

Moltres @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Fire Blast
- Hurricane
- Roost
- U-turn

noooo more grass types! nooo more rock types!

Slowbro-Galar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 16 SpA / 232 SpD / 12 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Future Sight
- Sludge Bomb
- Flamethrower
- Psyshock

Assault Vest Slowbro Galar can pivot on stuff that could threaten or overwhelm Rotom-Wash, mostly special attackers like Keldeo, Primarina, special Salamence, Raikou, Clanger and Nihilego ; check their move and retaliate if given the chance, or double out to a type check. It can also abuse the fact that Rotom-Wash is a grass types magnet to freely click its moves. In return, Rotom-Wash can check ground types, dark types, Scizor and can remove entry hazards that would hinder Glowbro's healing with Regenerator. The two form a great bulky offensive pivot core, Rotom-Wash being able to bring Glowbro in against grass types through volt switches and Glowbro being capable of scouting moves, heal off the damage with Regenerator and either throw Future Sights (which is easy to do after Rotom's volt against a grass type, for example) to keep the momentum vortex scary or double out to any other pivot to keep it going.

WISH JIRACHI

Jirachi @ Leftovers
Ability: Serene Grace
EVs: 252 HP / 224 SpD / 32 Spe
Careful Nature
- Wish
- Protect
- Iron Head
- Toxic​

What's the one thing rotom wash wishes it could wear but can't? HBD it gets constantly worn down from rocks and wishrachi helps to keep it healthy for the entire game while even freeing up a move slot (pain split) for other moves that it so desperately wants to run but can't. Jirachi helps to toxic the annoying bulky grasses, waster absorb mons, and other spdf that it may struggle with. Although jirachi does not like the possible eq or knock-off from av tangrowth it can tank the hits and heal back up again.

 

[HydreigonTheChild]

Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Def / 248 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Power Whip
- Sludge Bomb
- Knock Off
- Earthquake

Tang can take grass, and strong special hits from Pokémon such as Zarude, Thundurus-t, Specs Aegislash, Zygarde 10%. While rotom-wash provides it with defog against hazards, a check to chandelure, moltres, and nidoqueen.

 

[iceblazer]

Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Heavy Slam
- Flamethrower

Steela pairs well with Washtom, as it can take Grass attacks like there’s no tomorrow for its partner and can scorch Grasses as well, and Washtom returns the favor by handling Fires and on some occasions, Electrics. Celesteeela can also provide Washtom with additional recovery with Leech Seed, making it less dependent on Pain Split to keep it healthy, and can also handle stronger threats that Washtom can’t adequately check, such as Primarina and Diggersby.

Rhyperior @ Leftovers
Ability: Solid Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stone Edge
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic

Rhyperior is arguably the best Stealth Rock setter in the current meta, with the ability to cripple other defensive Pokemon with Toxic and EdgeQuake coverage. It gets paired with a wide range of Pokemon, so let's see what it works with best! 5 days to submit this time, wow!​

 

[HydreigonTheChild]

Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 244 HP / 16 Def / 248 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Power Whip
- Sludge Bomb

Tangrowth is able to take water and grass types attacks that threaten rhyperior out. As well as providing with knock support and a check to keldeo, rotom-wash and primarina the three mons that rhyperior is scared of the most.
