Project What're Their Lasts? [Week 12 - Submissions]

Sylveon @ Leftovers

- Hyper Voice
- Mystical Fire

This team seems heavily reliant on Centiskorch to act as a check to Sylveon, as well as to pressure opposing Sylveon + Gigalith teams. Wish support from Sylveon allows Centiskorch to do this much more effectively, as it greatly increases its longevity and as a result of that, enhances its ability to break down such teams. Sylveon also ironically makes the Toxtricity matchup a little easier, as providing Gigalith with Wish support, as well as being able to scout Specs sets, makes it much easier for this team to deal with. The Speed on Sylveon is for helping the team deal with the problematic Fighting-types in Pangoro and Machamp, which this team can struggle to deal with otherwise.

Whimsi - helps with the problematic Fighting-types AND negates the otherwise abysmal Rotom W matchup

 

[pokemonisfun]

Sylveons the boring choice but okay it's also just the best since half the team loves Wish support

 

[leng loi]

Voting Sylv bc good mon and wish being broken. Team's weak to some things regardless and wish just shores that up better than momentum and strong moonblasts.

Whimsicott, this team desperately needs checks to shit like Rotom-Wash + Pangoro and it also provides a bit of speed control.

 

[Taptricity]

seen team before. I vote whimsi

Congratulations to doryphorous for winning this week with their Whimsicott submission, which was the 6th member on the original version. As pointed out by multiple people, Whimsicott helps a lot with Rotom-Wash, which this team otherwise massively struggles with, as well as providing a nice check to problematic fightings like Machamp and Pangoro.

This week's team comes from me again.

Week 6



"I wanted to build a Xatu Screens team using Flame Charge WP Incineroar. Barbaracle provides SR and a potential breaker with Shell Smash, while DD Pjab Haxorus and DD Necrozma together form an incredibly threatening pair of late game cleaners. Flame Charge WP Incineroar is a cool option that can benefit greatly from teleport + screens, and pressure some of Necrozma/Haxorus's checks like Escavalier and Doublade. What's my Last?"​

Timid
- Overdrive
- Boomburst
- Shift Gear
- Protect

standard boring set for screens, I'm pretty sure I've played against this team with Toxtricity before but maybe I'm hallucinating since all these screens look the same. Protect because the team doesn't have any other sweeper that doesn't get First Impressioned

Polteageist @ Mental Herb
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shell Smash
- Shadow Ball
- Stored Power
- Giga Drain


This team doesn't have a special sweeper, Polteageist is perfect for this role. It offers rapid-spin immunity. Plus, Polteageist's biggest counter, Incineroar, will be weakened by the other members of this team, since they are all physical sweepers.

boring team :-( this team pressures a lot most of qd ribombee counter (blade/zong/escav) and ribombee will pressure mons like umbreon which is annoying for the team. also mr pif i stole your nickname sorry was to bored to make the set so i just pasted the one from your team.

Congratulations to pokeisfun for winning this week of what's their last! Toxtricity was indeed the original pokemon on the team, providing a great win con that really benefitted from SD Incineroar pressuring its checks like Gigalith and Rhyperior.

This week's team comes from hs!

Week 7



"This team is a fairly standard bulky offense, but with Milotic as the bulky water to better help with mons like Noivern, Cobalion, and Escavalier. SD Incineroar is used to provide an additional wallbreaker, while still providing defensive utility, and heavy slam rhyperior gives an additional way to pressure Sylveon, as Escavalier is unable to deal with Mystical Fire variants. What's my last?"​

Sylveon @ Leftovers
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Hyper Voice
- Wish
- Protect
- Heal Bell

this team relies heavily on noivern to check fighting-types, and it also has no answer to haxorus. sylveon (kinda) helps with the first issue, while being a capable haxorus switchin if it isn't band with poison jab. the team also relies on rhyperior and escavalier heavily to answer threats like toxtricity and roserade, making sylveon's wish very appreciated. heal bell also helps them, curing them from a potential toxic / burn / para.

reserving scarf gardevoir


Gardevoir @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Trace
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Mystical Fire
- Healing Wish

since this team struggles against sun-teams when these members are weakned beforehand especially against the shiftry + darmanitan combination
choice scarfed-gardevoir can help here to combat shiftry after its chlorophyll boost, since it traces shiftrys chlorphyll and with the scarf it outspeeds
shiftry in the sun and outside of the sun it also outspeeds that sun-member.
gardevoir offers itself as a revenge-killer as well since that team lacks speed outside of noivern, as the remaining members of that team are rather slow.
gardevoir can use healing wish to revive another teammember like ryhperior, which is able to set another stealth rocks again or incineroar which has good breaking power after a swords dance-boost.
gardevoir also gains immunities to some stab-moves, which can be helpful like levitate to combat the ground-atacks from flygon and is able to pressure due to that and can force switches during that game.​

 

[Lily]

Whimsicott @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- U-turn
- Encore
- Leech Seed​

On preview, these team struggles with three things:
-Rotom-Wash
-Broken ass Haxorus
-Speed control

Fortunately, Whimsicott solves all three of these problems to some decent extent! It can pretty easily pivot into Rotom-W, tanking Volt Switch fairly well which nothing else other than Noivern can really do. It's also one of the best Haxorus checks in the tier, and this spread, while exceptionally passive, is capable on handling Haxorus pretty easily no matter which set it is thanks to Encore and Moonblast. Finally, Prankster Encore/Leech Seed is a great form of speed control that prevents setup sweepers like Barbaracle and Toxtricity from getting out of hand. Think this fits as the best possible fairy here bc of all that.
