Sneasel @ Expert Belt
Ability: Inner Focus
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Triple Axel
- Fake Out
- Reversal
- Substitute
Outspeeds lando and ohkos with Triple Axel
Fake out does min 36 and triple axel does min 390 to bonnet, guaranteeing a kill
Fake out breaks avalugg's sturdy and substitute down to 1 (or below 28 in case of icicle spear) hp.
As a side note, a substitute will always take exactly two icicle spears before dying.
Edit: I have been informed that I accidentally put endure instead of substitute and adamant instead of jolly. Calcs should still work and it has been fixed.

Outspeeds and ohkos Landorus and Brute Bonnet with ice spinner and megahorn respectively. Earthquake is a guaranteed 2hko on Avalugg and it can’t be ohkoed by Avalugg unless it gets a crit. The fourth move and item are useless so I just chose two things that are useless in 1v1

Because payback does so little after colbur it's almost impossible to lose barring crits and max rolling literally every attack(Edit:I forgor you could just id again). As for the other 2 it lives literally anything they can throw at it. Idk if it'd be better always but gravity prolly is better than protect for lando

Abomasnow is weak to EVERY Pokémon on the opposing team, but still manages to 3-0 without breaking a sweat! No weakness Berries, accuracy luck or high rolls needed!
THE GOAT (Abomasnow) @ Expert Belt
Ability: Snow Warning
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 192 HP / 152 SpA / 156 SpD / 8 Spe
Modest Nature
- Blizzard
- Ice Shard
- Protect
- Chilling Water
Abomasnow takes up to 99.4% damage from Lando's Sheer Force + Life Orb-boosted Sludge Wave, then retaliates with a Blizzard that could kill every Lando in existence at once. Alternatively, you can win with 2 Ice Shards.
8 Speed EVs allow Abomasnow to outspeed Bonnet, hitting it with a Blizzard for at least 83.1% damage.
Bonnet strikes back with a Protosynthesis-boosted Close Combat, dealing up to 99.7% damage.
Abomasnow clutches out the match with Ice Shard, preventing Bonnet from going first and killing with Sucker Punch.
At this point, you might be wondering why I put Protect on this monstrous Pokémon, or what the fuck Chilling Water is doing on its moveset. Well, you're in luck!
Abomasnow uses Protect to reveal what move Hugg is using.
If it uses Stone Edge:
- Abomasnow uses Chilling Water, dealing over 50% damage and lowering Hugg's Attack. Thanks to the Attack drop, the incoming Stone Edge only deals up to 95.9% damage, allowing Abomasnow to survive and KO Hugg on the next turn.
If it uses Mirror Coat:
- Abomasnow takes a day off, spamming Ice Shard until Mirror Coat's PP runs out. Afterwards, Abomasnow can finish the job with Chilling Water without having to worry about dying to Mirror Coat.
If it uses Avalanche or Icicle Spear:
- those are weaker than stone edge lmao, what a dummy (Abomasnow still survives and 2HKO's with Chilling Water)
192 HP EVs allow Abomasnow to live Bonnet's Close Combat. Lando's Sludge Wave hits much harder, so I used only HP EVs to tank Close Combat, then added SpD EVs to tank Sludge Wave.
The remaining EVs are dumped into Special Attack. These EVs, along with a +SpA nature and Expert Belt, allow Abomasnow to 2HKO Hugg with Chilling Water, and KO Bonnet with Blizzard + Ice Shard.
Despite having Ice Shard, I'm using a -Atk nature. Using -Def or -SpD instead would require far more EV investment to survive all those super-effective hits, and using -Spe would require putting extra EVs in Speed to still outspeed Bonnet. In any case, there would be less EVs left for Special Attack.
That's all for my essay on the OG Hail setter. Thank you for reading it!
Physical Bulk for Brute Bonnet Seed Bomb + Sucker Punch
Special Bulk for Landorus Sludge Wave
Special Attack for Avalugg-Hisui (Chilling Water + Moonblast)
Speed for Brute Bonnet
Click Moonblast twice.
76 SpA Clefable Moonblast vs. 212 HP / 0 SpD Brute Bonnet: 216-254 (51.9 - 61%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Before we get to the next team, I have decided to shorten the cycles. Every cycle will be 1 week. This cycle will end 2/3/24 The original post will be updated to reflect this.
For this week! Zxcsq5 has provided an interesting team for sure!
Moltres-Galar
EVs: 20 HP / 28 Spe
- Fiery Wrath
- Foul Play
Hax Proof:
0 SpA Moltres-Galar Fiery Wrath vs. 252 HP / 0- SpD Avalugg: 262-310 (66.4 - 78.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ Def Avalugg Body Press vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Moltres-Galar: 136-161 (42.3 - 50.1%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO
Avalugg can't mirror coat back due to dark being immune. BPress doesn't do enough to ohko on a crit
Hax Proof:
Moltres outspeeds by a point
12 Atk Moltres-Galar Foul Play vs. 216 HP / 0 Def Hoopa-Unbound: 235-277 (66.1 - 78%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
12 Atk Hoopa-Unbound Gunk Shot vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Moltres-Galar: 143-169 (44.5 - 52.6%) -- 22.3% chance to 2HKO
12 Atk Hoopa-Unbound Gunk Shot vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Moltres-Galar on a critical hit: 215-253 (66.9 - 78.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after poison damage
Not enough for Hoopa to win with hax
Drain punch T1 isn't enough to recover:
Low roll foul play lands hoopa at 120HP (40%), hoopa recovers 53 HP getting it to 173HP (49%) Moltres kills with another foul play.
12 Atk Hoopa-Unbound Drain Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Moltres-Galar on a critical hit: 135-159 (42 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
Hoopa crits with drain punch: recovers 80 HP and is now at 200HP. Foul play does 235 on a low roll. Hoopa goes down.
We're going to assume that this spec is 0IVs in atk to make this harder for me.
0- Atk Moltres-Galar Foul Play vs. 240 HP / 0 Def Spectrier: 158-188 (39.4 - 46.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0 SpA Moltres-Galar Fiery Wrath vs. 240 HP / 16 SpD Spectrier: 230-272 (57.3 - 67.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Knock on the Turn 1 substitute, then lash out twice. Shadow ball does hardly anything.
Hoopa-U needs three moves, no item, and only 58 total ivs.
