For context: I only made this team because garchomp got Scale Shot in DLC1, Not even joking. This is version 3 of the team, as in lineup/squad changes. Version 2 had Volcarona, but I could find moments to set up and it had problems with Moltres and ZardY. Version 1 had Hawlucha alongside Volc, it had its moments but... Actually I don't remember why I dropped it. It had something to do with pokemon matchups but idk. Also idk what to EV against, I think of EVs as like MtG "sideboard hate", idk what to hate. Anyways, on to the team.
Part 1: The Pokemon team lineup
MAero:
Aerodactyl @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
You may wonder, why Aerodactyl of all leads? Well, I've always like Aerodactyl. Not from a character design perspective, but from a game design perspective.
• 1: It is the second fastest rocker in the game, only behind itself (When Mega'd)
• 2: It has taunt, that which might not sound like much, but it counters every other suicide lead not Ifs or Ands (the But is choice scarf).
• 3: It has EQ, and therefore can soft counter (No, not hard counter) Mega-Diancie, even though Mega-Diancie t1 is very telegraphed.
Well has it done any favors? Yes, you win vs every dedicated lead and they must counter your lead. | | | | | | | | | |
MChomp: | | | | | | | | | | Garchomp @ Leftovers
Ability: Rough Skin
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Spd / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Scale Shot
- Fire Fang | | | | | | | | | | I don't know how to segway into this,so I'ma just explain this rq, the team is build around countering Chomp's weaknesses. And it's kinda good at sweeping, but I end up not using Chomp to sweep. Instead, usually I go "1 for 1" 4 time and "1 for 2" once (if I don't get swept). Nothing notable I think, but it's tera fire because of Fire fang, and runs leftovers because I can heal from red to green.
GreninjAsh:
Greninja (M) @ Life Orb
Ability: Battle Bond
Hidden Power: Ghost
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hydro Pump
- Water Shuriken
- Dark Pulse
- Grass Knot
It's a SpAtk Breaker, but the other one is scarfed. So that doesn't count. I chose over volc this because it doesn't need to set up to do damage, and it's also faster. It runs Grass Knot over Ice Beam because I like grass and water more than ice and water (Works better for me, dunno?), also Tera Dark (Adaptability in practice) Dark Pulse over Tera water because I already have Hydro Pump. By the way, Ash Gren has to be HP Ghost and have31 Atk IVs.
Tapu 你你 (你 is pronounced "Ley", with like a rising tone.):
Tapu Lele @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Psychic Surge
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast
I do not like to see my speed control get prio'd, so I almost ALWAYS run scarf on Lele. And I'm using Lele because I didn't want my Garchomp to get hit by Bax Ice shard. Also, Tera psychic might seem contradictory. But, psyshock and psychic hit different things. But shuriken and pump just go at different speeds. | | | | | | | | | |
Zero Bitches Aura: | | | | | | | | | | Zeraora @ Darkinium Z
Ability: Volt Absorb
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Hone Claws
- Knock Off
- Close Combat
- Plasma Fists
I replaced Hawlucha with this, I DO NOT remember why, but It's always because of Moltres. So maybe it's that, I remember it was a fire type. So I scrolled through NDOU fire types and recognized Ogerpon, so ye. Anyways, knock off deals alot of neutral damage to and close combat debuff doesn't really matter if they die. Plasma Fists is stab CC with no downside so ofc I run it.
Professional Boxer Mega Scizor: | | | | | | | | | | Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
Tera Type: Doesn’t Really Matter lmao
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Spd / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Close Combat
- Dual Wingbeat
Flying is a better Bug, so no bug stab. But bullet punch but you know why, Close Combat is always nice. I chose mega scizor because bax.and I don't mega the others because they suck, no like actually. Swords Dance makes things do MASSIVE damage, and speed doesn't matter because bullet punch. Light metal because why not, I get technician when I mega.
