More fun for friends and family! The tier shifts didn't change anything so all of these teams are still legal!
Teams marked with (S) are "Sample Submissions". I put that in quotes because you can't actually submit samples yet, but I'm very proud of those teams and want to highlight them.
AV Amoonguss Stall
<-(click for paste)
Built this team a while ago, when I was talking to other stall lords in the PS! room. Dondozo was originally Pyukumuku, but that mon legit sucks ass lmao. AV Amoonguss was made to better deal with Kingdra rain teams but it also has a solid matchup against HO thanks to Clear Smog. Pretty fun team but it's hella Kyurem weak. Edit s/o to Lifeismyth for suggesting Stomping Tantrum on Amoonguss
Jirachi Stall (S)
Jirachi was brought in over other Steels like Skarmory to better deal with Kyurem. It outruns Kyurem while still having enough bulk to switch into an Earth Power consistently. It's also a decent rocker. This stall is very good and I used it during my Victini suspect run and got reqs first try. The unaware core that Clefable and Dondozo form is incredibly strong and walls nearly the entire metagame.
Glowking Stall
This is another Regen-Core Stall this time featuring Glowking. It's a very nice backup special wall incase Blissey somehow dies. Future Sight is also great to force progress against the opponent. Instead of Calm Mind Sableye, we just have the standard Knock Off set in order to better pressure defensive mons like Moltres and Celesteela.
Polteagiest Hyper Offense (S)
First HO team I made in a while since I've been rolling with Stall so much. Ran Polteagiest since it can shred nearly everything given that you get rid of priority mons. Polteagiest also gives a solid mu against Stall teams and it's very good when paired with Mega Gyarados. The rest of the team tackles other relevant threats live Weavile, Kommo-o, Gliscor, etc.
Mixed Kommo-o Bulky Offense
I had this team laying around for a long time, but never put sets on the mons. I finally did and it turned out fairly well. Mixed Kommo-o is a really nice win-con to break down fat teams who over-rely on Blissey, Gliscor, and Skarm to beat Kommo-o. Pairing with with Glowking works wonders at forcing progress. Something quite wonky on this team is Rocks Skarm; but it's fine for the most part. I might switch Gliscor over to Rocks and Skarm to Spikes but it's whatever. Then Scarf Keld checks Vile and Mega-Gyarados for the team.
Kingdra + Weavile Rain (S)
I'm still trying to perfect my rain teams. My last one is still useable with some adjustments, so this is another take on the Bulky Rain team i'm trying to optimize. This time we only have one abuser in Kingdra, which makes it feel sort of like a "Semi-Rain" team of sorts. But the extra additions are very nice to form a good defensive backbone. Weavile was added to give the team some natural speed control, and provide much needed utility in Knock Off and priority.
Scarf Latias Sun
This is a Sun team I made on a whim cuz I really wanted to try out Victini for the suspect test. I think it turned out fairly well but it's sorta rough around the edges. I think you can go HWish > Defog on Latias and then run Defog Fini but it doesn't really matter. Also formed a cool hazard stacking core with Torkoal and Ting-Lu so that's fun. And as always we have the two inseparable sun sweepers: Victini to shred defensive cores, and Venusaur to clean up the game.
metagame post soon, maybe idk.
