Project OU Matchmaking V2 - Week 6 (finally) | 2 Attacks Reuniclus

[MANNAT]

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 172 SpD / 88 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Hydro Pump
- Volt Switch
- Will-O-Wisp / Thunder Wave
- Pain Split

Megachomp is a really nice breaker that lures in Lando and sets up rocks, so rotom is obviously a great teammate because it can volt around and force switches, forcing the opponent to take chip damage with rocks and removing lando means that you can't randomly get your volts blocked either by big brained players that go hard lando on rotom. Really solid core that works well together.

Magearna @ Fairium Z
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shift Gear
- Calm Mind
- Fleur Cannon
- Focus Blast

Since Mega-Garchomp is weak to Dragon, Ice, and Fairy, Magearna can tank these hits, especially being immune to Dragon. combine that with its awesome typing Steel/Fairy, it can check or counter multiple Pokemon that Mega Garchomp is vulnerable to: Greninja, Weavile, Mega Latios, and Mega Latias as well as Grassium Z Kartana. Those are the offensive mon as well as Specially Defensive Pokemon such as Tangrowth, Slowbro, and Ferrothorn, which it can check against.

AV Magearna works too if you have Thunderbolt or Ice Beam in your stock.

Congratz to Ophion for winning with his Ash Greninja submission. Sorry I'm late with new round lol. Your submission will be achieved. Anyways, this week's contestant will be something a little more niche:

Set

Slowbro-Mega @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 164 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Slack Off
- Flamethrower / Thunder Wave / Toxic

Slowbro and it's Mega counterpart were quite popular during the Zygarde era, but have fallen off a little since. However, it is still insanely fat, and a good check to Mega Charizard X, Landorus Therian, and Hawlucha, Mega Medicham, among other things. So what's it's best teammate?

Submissions are due Thursday. Good luck!​

Tapu Bulu @ Leftovers
Ability: Grassy Surge
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Swords Dance
- Horn Leech
- Superpower
- Synthesis

Tapu Bulu can deal with Ash-Greninja and Tapu Koko for Mega Slowbro. Mega Slowbro helps with stuff like ZardX and stuff, and can help chip down Steel-types w/ Scald & Flamethrower. Flamethrower also weakens Ferrothorn, and if not running Flamethrower, Scald can potentially burn Ferrothorn and Toxic Tangrowth. P weak to like CM Lati & Torn if you're not running Toxic and needs some luck w/ Scald

Tornadus-Therian @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Hurricane
- Knock Off
- U-turn / Taunt
- Defog

Tornadus-T and Mega Slowbro make for an amazing core that covers each others weaknesses beautifully. For one, Tornadus and Slowbro pre-mega make for a devastating dual Regen core that’s very hard to wear down thanks to Tornadus bringing Defog to remove hazards, the main way to wear down a dual Regen core. Tornadus also brings the ability to handle Grass-types for Mega Slowbro while the latter can handle Pokemon like Heatran, Mega Charizard X, Protean Greninja, and Ground-types that Tornadus can’t suffiently handle like Rockium Z Garchomp and Sand Rush Excadrill. Tornadus also brings Knock Off to the table which can help Slowbro in wearing down and pressuring switch-ins like Toxapex and Rotom-W in tandem with potential Scald burns. U-Turn helps to get Slowbro safely in situations where it can check a Pokemon but can’t take 2 hits from it, and can even potentially Taunt, which stops status and set-up from being able to annoy either of them, and prevents entry hazards from going up to pressure Slowbro’s ability to switch-in. Tornadus is also able to handle many of the fast Pokemon in the metagame that Slowbro may not be able to manage like Kartana and Manaphy.

(This thing works with almost everything, I swear lol. I wouldn’t be surprised if it showed up as a nom every week)

Reserving Tangrowth


Tangrowth @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Giga Drain
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power Fire
- Sludge Bomb

Tangrowth forms a good bulky core with Mega-Slowbro due to its amazing Ability in Regenerator and Slowbro-Mega has Regenerator as well before it Megas, so they can form a good and annoying core.
Tangrowth purpose here is to check Grass-Types like Tapu Bulu and Kartana and Electric-Types such as Tapu Koko and Rotom-Wash.
It is also able to help Slowbro-Mega to deal with troublesome Pokémon such as Mega-Gyarados as it can tank a Crunch after a +1 due to Dragon Dance much better than Mega-Bro and has a higher damage output
with its STAB in Giga Drain, which also helps to gain some percentages of health back as it has a Chance to 2HKO Mega-Gyarados with 2 high rolls of Giga Drain.
In return Mega-Slowbro is good to check troublesome Fire-Types like Zard X, Heatran and is able to check Victini as well due to its amazing physical bulk and the ability, which allows Mega-Slowbro
to not get hit by a critical hit. Mega-Slowbro can also check strong physical attackers like Medicham-Mega as none of its Move Options are super effective on Mega-Bro.

AV Tyranitar

Tyranitar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 224 HP / 32 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Rock Slide
- Crunch
- Pursuit
- Earthquake

AV Tyranitar is a great partner for M-Slowbro, as they have great type synergy. AV Tyranitar can check Fire-types that M-Slowbro can't deal like M-Charizard Y, Volcarona and Blacephalon, also it provides a secondary check to M-Zard X and Heatran, being able to beat Grassium/Steelium Z variants easily, and between both can check Ash-Greninja locked in one of its STAB. Also, AV Tyranitar can deal with Mega Zam as M-Bro doesn't carry TWave; this applies to Mega Latias, that can use Twave-less Mega Bro as setup fodder, and AV ttar 2HKOes it with Crunch.

Mega Bro helps Tyranitar dealing with all fighting types in the tier like a champion; also it deals with Garchomp, Landorus-T, Gliscor and Ground-types in general. Add a fat steel-type like Celesteela or Ferrothorn and you have a core that can deal with the entire metagame.

reserving kommo-o

Kommo-o @ Kommonium Z
Ability: Bulletproof
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Clanging Scales
- Close Combat
- Poison Jab

Kommo-o and Mega Slowbro appreciate each other's company offensively and defensively. Kommo-o is able to offensively check quite a number of threats that scare Mega Slowbro, such as Ash-Greninja, Ferrothorn if Slowbro lacks Flamethrower, Blacephalon (although it needs to watch for +1 NeN), most Kartana sets (Normalium Z is scary), Grassium Z Heatran, Banded Tyranitar, Magnezone, Mega Gyarados, and soft-checks Mega Charizard Y (Fire Blast 2HKOs although Flamethrower is mostly a 3HKO, and Kommo-o resists Solar Beam and is immune to Focus Blast thanks to Bulletproof). Kommo-o can also get up rocks which Mega Slowbro appreciates since it's acting as a pivot, forcing the Pokemon it checks out.

On the flipside, Mega Slowbro can take on Pokemon that give Kommo-o trouble, which include Flyinium Z Landorus-T, Flyinium Z Gyarados, Mega Medicham, Hawlucha, and Mega Charizard X if Kommo-o isn't boosted.

 

[Solaros & Lunaris]

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Def / 232 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

FerroBro is a solid Grass/Water defensive core which can take on several threats right now. While it may not be as good as the Grass regen mons, it separates itself from them by its higher offensive presence, ability to check Psychics better and lay down hazards and Leech Seed. Bro can pivot into Tran, ZardX, Victini locked into V-Create, Lopunny and Medicham, while Ferro smacks Fini, eases the MU against AshGren, annoys Tapu Koko and Band Bulu and is a good check to Pursuit users.

 

[Tysonslayer]

Magearna @ Assault Vest
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 248 HP / 224 SpD / 36 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Volt Switch
- Fleur Cannon
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Iron Head

Assault Vest Magearna is able to take hits of most special attackers that trouble Mega Slowbro such as Ash-Greninja, Tapu Koko, Serperior, Hydreigon ,and Mega Alakazam if carrying Shadow Ball. Slowbro can then come in safely with Volt Switch and can take on Heatran, Mega Medicham , Mega Lopunny , Hawlucha , Mega Charizard-X and can also switch in on Landorus-Therian and Gliscor since they both are immune to volt switch and also give Magearna trouble.
