BSS BSS Celesteela [GP: 1/1]

[Mubs]

Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Air Slash
- Leech Seed
- Substitute
- Flamethrower / Protect​

With the Crown Tundra DLC release a little more than a month ago, Celesteela has quickly cemented itself as one of the strongest and most versatile Pokemon in the BSS metagame. This set in particular is a fast SubSeed set that can allow Celesteela to double as an offensive cleaner with the ability to Dynamax. Air Slash turns into Max Airstream upon Dynamaxing, which Celesteela utilizes exceptionally well, racking up boosts to its Speed that combine with Special Attack boosts from Beast Boost to win games after some prior damage. The combination of Leech Seed and Substitute is used to accrue passive damage and facilitate its cleaning ability. The choice of Flamethrower or Protect depends on whether you want a secondary move to hit Steel-types such as Kartana and Ferrothorn or whether you'd prefer a way to get more passive damage and recovery. Celesteela is quite weak to Electric-types such as Regieleki and Zapdos, making Ground-types and Pokemon such as Porygon2 and Tyranitar great partners. Pokemon such as Naganadel and Nihilego are also great teammates, appreciating Celesteela's defensive typing and ability to facilitate a sweep.

Oops, didn't notice this until now. I'll give it a check!

With the Crown Tundra DLC release a little more than a month ago, Celesteela has quickly cemented itself as one of the strongest Pokemon in the Battle Stadium metagame. This set in particular is a fast SubSeed set that can double as an Offensive Cleaner with Dynamax. Air Slash is Celesteela’s best Flying STAB, having a nice 30% flinch chance while transforming into Max Airstream after Dynamaxing. Celesteela utilizes Max Airstream exceptionally well, racking up boosts to its Speed, along with its Special Attack with Beast Boost, to win games after some prior damage. The combination of Leech Seed and Substitute is used to accrue passive damage and facilitate its cleaning ability. The Choice of Flamethrower or Protect depends on whether you want a secondary move to hit Steel-types such as Corvinkight and Ferrothorn or whether you’d prefer a way to get more passive damage and recovery. Celesteela is quite weak to Electric-Types such as Regieleki and Zapdos, making Pokemon such as Hippowdon and Nihilego great partners. Pokemon such as Naganadel and the aforementioned Nihilego are also great teammates, appreciating its defensive typing and its ability to facilitate a sweep.

* The big change I'd make is the teammates section. Nihilego and Hippowdon aren't reliable checks to Zapdos (no joke, Steel Wing mixed Zapdos is a thing now LOL). I'd mention Tyranitar instead, whose got the bulk and power to muscle through Zapdos most of the time. Specially Defensive Porygon2 works decently well too. Maybe give a generic mention of Ground-types for the like of Regieleki. To be clear, Ground-types + Celesteela is good for other electric-types and should be mentioned imo, it's just that Ground-types are not enough against Zapdos because of Max Airstream.

* To be clear though, Nihilego is still a good teammate with Celesteela because Celesteela can royally screw over a lot of Ground-types like Excadrill.

* I'd potentially remove the Corviknight mention, that poor thing has fallen out of the top 50 in usage ever since Celesteela hit the scene. Might be worth mentoning that Flamethrower OHKOs Kartana though (seriously Air Slash needs a boost to pull that off lol).

* Maybe a bit beyond the scope of a facebook spotlight, but I think it's worth mentioning at the end that this is just "one" Celesteela set. This thing is actually crazy versatile in BSS, it has like a bazillion sets which s why its still prominent even with Zapdos usage skyrocketing.
