A Dance of Destruction - Spin-Out of the Stage!​

Hello everyone, I am back!
And today our dancing duo is Kevin the Kommo-o and Roni the Reuniclus!
A brawl between Brain and Brawn!

Kevin has come prepared to the dance-off, with a surprising new move to tear through the dancing floor and cut through the competition, literally! Behold the first ever public performance of "Sword & Slash"!




Kevin (Kommo-o) (M) @ Buginium Z
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Close Combat
- X-Scissor

With this new move up his.... scale? Kevin manages to invite Roni into a tango, yet still remain in the lead! A Swords Dance pumps up his Attack and his coolness, ensuring nobody would take their eyes off the dance of destruction that is about to take place. Roni might attempt to use Psyshock to steal Kevin's thunder, but Kevin would shrug it off easily and show the green gummy bear who truly owns the stage!

0 SpA Life Orb Reuniclus Psyshock vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Kommo-o: 226-268 (77.6 - 92%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

As Kevin shrugged off the Psyshock, his body started to glow a dark green! all spotlights have moved to focus on the dragon, as he danced like a butterfly and stung like a beehemoth, trapping Roni in a cocoon of scale and silk, then cutting right through him with a single blow!

2 252 Atk Kommo-o Savage Spin-Out (160 BP) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Reuniclus: 536-632 (126.4 - 149%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Kevin wins!
​

The crowd's cheers blew throughout the arena, seemingly in sync with Kevins dance, as Roni fell to the ground, out of energy. Kevin has won against all odds, and if there's something we can learn from that, it's that even if you seem at a disadvantage, don't give up just yet, and retaliate with all of your power - it could save you!

"Komme-On! don't give up!" -Kevin the Kommo-o

Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 144 Def / 108 SpA / 4 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spore
- Sludge Bomb
- Hex
- Giga Drain

0 SpA Amoonguss Sludge Bomb vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Reuniclus: 97-115 (22.8 - 27.1%) -- 49.9% chance to 4HKO, lets reun setup, because among doesn't run spore that often.
But you only need 4EVs in speed and hex to to turn the mu around .
You don't need 108EVs in spatk, but it lets you 2HKO reun.
108 SpA Amoonguss Hex (130 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Reuniclus: 212-250 (50 - 58.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO.

Amoonguss @ Black Sludge
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 208 Def / 48 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Gastro Acid
- Clear Smog
- Toxic
- Synthesis

This set works pretty simply, when Reuniclus switches in you click Toxic, then Gastro Acid to disable Magic Guard either forcing the Reunciclus to switching out, or bringing it to it's doom. Clear Smog works in conjunction with the speed investment to remove stat boosts while being faster than the standard 44 speed EV Reuniclus. Synthesis is to increase longevity while stalling out Reuniclus. The defensive investments are for Psyshock since Stored Power doesn't do enough anyways.

Relevant Calculations

0 SpA Life Orb Reuniclus Psyshock vs. 248 HP / 208+ Def Amoonguss: 257-304 (59.6 - 70.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery

0 SpA Reuniclus Psyshock vs. 248 HP / 208+ Def Amoonguss: 198-234 (45.9 - 54.2%) -- 3.9% chance to 2HKO after Black Sludge recovery

0 SpA Reuniclus Stored Power (20 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Amoonguss: 66-78 (15.3 - 18%) -- possible 8HKO after Black Sludge recovery

0 SpA Reuniclus Gigavolt Havoc (185 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Amoonguss: 96-114 (22.2 - 26.4%) -- possible 5HKO after Black Sludge recovery

0 SpA Reuniclus All-Out Pummeling (190 BP) vs. 248 HP / 0 SpD Amoonguss: 99-117 (22.9 - 27.1%) -- possible 5HKO after Black Sludge recovery

Tapu lele normally can't 2HKO deo-d even with specs
252 SpA Choice Specs Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 60+ SpD Deoxys-Defense: 135-160 (44.4 - 52.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Leftovers recovery

With guardian of Alola lele does 75% and kills with moonblast
252 SpA Tapu Lele Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 60+ SpD Deoxys-Defense: 91-108 (29.9 - 35.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery

“Ok but just use sball “

Lele can turn into a powerful wallbreaker with guardian of alola in other mu’s it kills av melm, corv, m-scior, av tang, Blissey and slowking!

we got that +1 defense boost out here folks
really its so that you can use toxic through taunt; also gunk shot is here because it does huge damage to tapus and clef and without it, poisonium Z toxic is a loser tech

Toxic Mega Diancie



Diancie-Mega @ Diancite
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Diamond Storm
- Moonblast
- Mystical Fire / Earth Power
- Toxic

The combination of it's bulk, decent natural speed and the sheer amount of utility brought to the table makes this mutated alien virus frustrating to deal with once it gets a free switch. One of it's victim is mega diancie, who can't ko it before it recovers off the damage, and this is quite valuable as diancie's sheer offensive potential makes it have very limited safe switch ins and often times the opponent have to make risky predictions. However here we are slapping on a tech i've never even seen before and only thought about it now: toxic. Suddenly deoxys-defense can't do it's job of soaking hits with it's bulk properly and forced to switch out more than it wants due to toxic damage, and eventually mega diancie will be able to break through it.

252 SpA Diancie-Mega Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Deoxys-Defense: 120-142 (39.4 - 46.7%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

4 Atk Diancie-Mega Diamond Storm vs. 252 HP / 4+ Def Deoxys-Defense: 99-117 (32.5 - 38.4%) -- 97.8% chance to 3HKO after Stealth Rock and Leftovers recovery

Grassium Z(Solar Beam) Heatran



Heatran @ Grassium Z
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Taunt
- Solar Beam

Pelipper's crippling stealth rock weakness means that usually it would want to come in on a resisted hit when trying to set up the rain, and most of the time heatran is it's victim. However not with this heatran, as the downpour summoner will fold to a grassium z solar beam after eating a magma storm on the way in, with the trapping effect making sure that pelipper can't escape, as the pelican slower and can't pop a u-turn first, causing major issues for the rain team player.

252 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Pelipper in Rain: 54-63 (16.7 - 19.5%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after trapping damage

252 SpA Heatran Bloom Doom (190 BP) vs. 248 HP / 8 SpD Pelipper: 274-323 (84.8 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO

54(magma storm dmg) + 274(bloom doom dmg) = 328 > 323(pelipper's full hp)

and yes we don't even need trapping damage to gurantee the kill, just pray rng won't let you run out of magma storms before pulling off the ko.

Jolly Nature
- Surging Strikes

already doesn't appreciate switching in as banded Strikes has a 90% chance to 2hko, but Peli can afford the maneuver since is just wanting to come in and sponge them Strikes. Pads makes it so you punish thorn wanting to check and chip Shifu, and TPunch guaranteed kills peli after minimal chip.

252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Thunder Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Pelipper: 236-280 (73 - 86.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Thunder Punch vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Pelipper: 236-280 (73 - 86.6%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock

252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Chople Berry Ferrothorn: 156-184 (44.3 - 52.2%) -- 17.6% chance to 2HKO

252 Atk Urshifu-Rapid-Strike Close Combat vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Ferrothorn: 312-368 (88.6 - 104.5%) -- 31.3% chance to OHKO
