Looking around the boards, saw two posts by Anchor9 and The Shag Attack making stories for their teams, and not gonna lie, that looked pretty fun. So I thought, why not give it a shot myself?
Long have the dragons of yore been thought to have been vanquished. Civilizations long have forgotten the reign of the beasts of destruction. Tales of destruction brought by them have been denounced to nothing but tall tales, left to be forgotten over time. As time went on, none remained of those who knew the dark truth: that the dragons would once again return. Six tablets worn down by time were unearthed, each depicting a beast and a warning. To whoever finds this message, take heed what could be translated, for some parts had to be assumed.
Rastunaga (Kommo-o) @ Life Orb
Ability: Bulletproof
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 88 Atk / 168 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Clangorous Soul
- Clanging Scales
- Drain Punch
- Flash Cannon
If sounds of clanging can be heard, hide. The Rastunaga approaches, scales clanging together in search of prey. Make not a sound, lest a beam flash by, seeking a target. Approach not, for it's ferocious fists siphon life from those it touches. Shoot not, as any bullet bounces off it's scales. Should it begin to growl, cover thy ears, for it shall soon let loose a sound from it's soul, a warcry to drive any and all prey running in fear. If life is what thou continues to seek, let not the Rastunaga know of thine presence.
(Kommo-o is a mon I enjoyed using back in gen 8. The onmi buff it gives helps with a potential sweep, combined with Drain Punch it can potentially get multiple buffs. Debating on dropping Life Orb for leftovers, but fighting/dragon/steel coverage hits what it needs to pretty hard.)
Nosfutoren (Dragapult) @ Leftovers
Ability: Cursed Body
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 108 Atk / 148 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Substitute
- Will-O-Wisp
- Hex
- Dragon Darts
If a discarded toy is seen amongst busy streets, seek safety immediately. Do not touch the toy, else Nosfutoren has already captured it's next victim. The toy serves nothing but a trick, to lure in the naive in hopes of an easy meal. Touch the toy, and burns shall be felt throughout the fool's body. By then, it is too late. Nosfutoren's powers spreads the burn through the body, using it as a means of offense to incapacitate the unfortunate soul. Should the hexes it casts not be enough, it's two partners lying in wait shall strike at sonic speeds. Those bold enough to touch this beast find themselves unable to move from what is assumed to be a curse. Warn any and all around when the green toy is found, and any who do not heed are lost.
(Originally a Specs set, Dragapult is now set to get up a Substitute and be annoying. Picked Cursed Body over Infiltrator to compliment with Will-O-Wisp, giving it a better chance to live or to force a switch if the enemy can't touch a partner. Debating switching WoW for Thunder Wave for a bit of speed control.)
Gaiaset (Goodra-Hisui) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Shell Armor
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 HP / 148 Atk / 104 Def / 4 SpA
Brave Nature
- Body Press
- Heavy Slam
- Draco Meteor
- Earthquake
If a hill of steel is discovered, disturb it not, for it is Gaiaset in wait. Those greedy enough to touch the metal shall awaken and anger Gaiaset. Able to shake the earth with it's weight, those nearby shall find themselves crushed under the beast's immense size. Striking or blasting the beast shall yield little to no benefit due to the armor from the shell of steel. If not left alone, the beast shall roar, summoning meteors to strike down any it cannot reach. Left alone, Gaiaset shall not cause harm on it's own accord, but warn any who try to approach.
(Meant to be a small stop in an opponent's offense in case I freeze up. Usually the target of a U-turn from Noivern, its bulk lets me take a second to think about who to pivot to. Also is the main attacker against fairy teams, being able to comfortably take hits from Enamorus and Flutter Manes while OHKOing in return. Probably going to replace Draco Meteor with another physical move, it's mostly there to just act as a one time nuke against a physical wall.)
Crystelfar (Baxcalibur) @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Thermal Exchange
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Icicle Spear
- Brick Break
Run from the creeping cold. Crystelfar's fury spares none. A mystic dance strengthens this beast beyond measure. Scales sharp as blades can be shed and shot from it's back, making it faster should it be given the chance. Spears of ice created from the beast's breath are launched at any who move, raining destruction to anything in it's path. Buildings of brick and steel stand no chance of resistance against it, for it's strength lets it break apart any obstructions. Fire holds no fear in it's heart, bringing more power to Crystelfar. The cold takes time to approach, do not let thineself get swept up in surprise, else it shall serve is a tomb.
(Baxcalibur is another setup sweeper. It's a typical Loaded Dice set, with Swords Dance over Dragon Dance for more instant power. Brick Break is chosen over Earthquake specifically for all the screens running around with Ice, since all but Goodra fear ice types. Goodra scares out Ninetails, then Bax comes in to break the veil.)
Panzenfol (Salamence) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Moxie
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Outrage
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Dual Wingbeat
Should the skies go quiet, go inside. Should a sight of green be spotted in the sky, thine fate is sealed. Panzenfol spares none, the ruler of the sky. The rage of Panzenfol fells all. A fallen foe only goes to make Panzenfol stronger, the bloodlust coursing through its veins. It's landing from high velocity shakes the very earth near, toppling buildings and causing those who can to take flight in futile attempt to flee. A head harder than iron smashes through walls should any try to hide after being in sight. Wings of mighty size and length slice through the very air itself, letting nothing obstruct it from the path it has chosen. Let not Panzenfol sense you, else it is too late to escape.
(What I consider to be the main wincon, Salamence is the snowball of the team. It's meant to come in on something weakened and pick it off or scare in something else to take damage. One kill sets off Moxie, and it snowballs from there. Typical Moxie stuff, I don't know what else to say about it.)
Echtaso (Noivern) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Infiltrator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Defog
- Hurricane
- Draco Meteor
- U-turn
Travel not alone at night. Echtaso hears all, senses all. Never to engage for long, Echtaso's wings summon forth hurricanes to wipe all in front. The winds of this beast blow away all obstacles, so that none shall impede it's assault. Should winds prove inefficient to fell its target, a cry to the heavens will be answered by a meteor's descent, annihilating any who find themselves unlucky to be caught within. After deciding it is done, it is quick to make a final strike before disappearing into the blanket of the night, waiting silently for another to come.
(Noivern's main goal is to get rid of hazards. Experimenting with switching U-turn for Flamethrower to snipe Gholdengos switching in on a Defog. U-turn is meant to keep up momentum against something that can absorb flying/dragon moves, thus going back to the Flamethrower point. Wish Hurricane was a little more accurate. Other than that, easy to swap in and clean my side up.)
From what has been able to be gathered from the few tablets found, there has been mention of a way to slow down these beasts, if only slightly. The primal blood that runs inside their veins has them go into a fury if sensed nearby, so mayhaps another of draconic blood can finally free all of their fury. For most of them, they will never be seen nor heard when winter's chill comes through. Rumors of fairytale-like creatures being able to handle them on their own is to be investigated. There are more tablets to be found, and these six are partially worn, so to call these descriptions definite would be false. Take what is said here as a warning, and prepare. The roars of times past will sound once again.
(Sorry if it's a little silly, I just wanted to have a little fun. Thanks for skimming/reading and hope to see some spins on it!)
