Hydreigon @ Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 8 HP / 220 SpA / 28 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Draco Meteor
- Flash Cannon
- U-turn
Specs Hydreigon is a nuclear wallbreaker, whose only consistent switch-ins are Fairy-types, healthy Toxapex, and the rare Blissey. Even then, it can Flash Cannon the former and U-turn on all three, while Dark Pulse flinches never hurt in the late game. Hydreigon has several notable qualities over other Specs users in Ash-Greninja, Tapu Lele, and Kyurem, such as its great defensive typing with a Ground immunity and Dark/Fire resistance, as well as a Stealth Rock neutrality, access to U-turn to maintain momentum, and the ability to outrun the very crowded neutral 95s like the aforementioned Tapu Lele and Kyurem.

Protect also helps to scout mons like scarf/specs lele who predicted u to switch to pex and thus used psychic but now u know u won't be affected by it and survived. Over all one of the best clerics and can keep ur team alive forever

Kartana is a great revenge killer and functions incredibly well with this core as it is able to break past the likes of Tyranittar, specially defensive gastrodon which would otherwise hinder Blacephalon's ability to set up freely behind the sub. Z Blacephalon can pretty much break past Heatran and bulky water such as pex and fini at +1. It can freely set up on the likes of blissey and remove or chip down its offensive threats behind the sub which greatly helps kartana's cleaning ability lategame.
I will post mega medicham.
Medicham-Mega
Level: 100
Jolly Nature
Ability: Pure Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
- Fake Out
- High Jump Kick
- Ice Punch
- Zen Headbutt
Alright so this is a very underrated mega in the game as pretty much, it is overshadowed by Lopunny now.
Despite that i still see Mega Medicham as one of the best Mega rn, and it needs more attention
Pair it with Weavile or Koko offensively to make the best use of it

Congratulations to Solaros & Lunaris for winning the voting stage of this week! We will be building around Hydreigon in the National Dex Room tomorrow at 11:59pm GMT +1!
...Aaand specs hydreigon team has been built! Thank you everyone who helped out, here's the team:
(click on the sprites for the importable!)
With the team being built around Specs Hydreigon, we recognized that Fairy-types where a huge threat to it, so Melmetal was added to not only check but also take advantage of those. We then added Landorus-T as its a Stealth Rock setter for the team, helps pivot in Hydreigon, and checks Mega Lopunny, which we were incredibly weak to. Tapu Fini resolved the teams lack of speed while adding Defog support and a bunch of useful resistances. Mega Diancie helps Hydreigon Break and also revenge kills foes like Kartana which the team struggles with. Lastly, thanks to Mega Diancie we could add a Z move Volcarona to help against Mega Scizor and Kartana, it also takes advantage of Hydreigons surprise factor and breaking prowess to sweep.
Feel free to use the team, anyone can, its called Community Create A Team for a reason!
Voting for next weeks Pokemon will open tomorrow!

New to Nat Dex, wanna give this a shot.
:clanger:
Kommo-o @ Kommonium Z
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Clanging Scales
- Clangorous Soul
- Close Combat / Drain Punch
- Earthquake
I'm primarily a UU player, so seeing Kommo ranked relatively high on the viability scale makes me interested in a team with it. Since Nat Dex allows Z-moves, I'd like to find out what happens if the clanger has access to TWO omni-boosts. This likely isn't the best set Kommo can run but the potential hilarity of it is intriguing!

Moltres @ Flyinium Z

Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

This set seems pretty underrated, with zapdos overshadowing it(Maybe?)
Anyway, this can be an underrated wallbreaker, with the ability to switch in to any types of m sciz and threaten it back w flamethrower, a solid serp switch (glare hurts tho) and it resist all Heatran's stab(Watch out for toxic, you can run Subs to bypass Toxic)
The thing thats hurt this moltres most is rocks ofc, so Hazard control is appreciated :)
Gonna keep posting this until this win the CCAT
