(M) @ Choice Band
Trait: Truant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- Giga Impact
- Return
- Punishment
- Earthquake / Pursuit
The God himself, Punishment was really cool for CM Uxie I guess and this was a bit of a counterstyle Pokemon for Soulgazer, considering the metagame right now lacks a whole bunch of Steel-types, and Klinklang gets rekt to the point where it cant be too effective late-game so it's pretty interesting of a set. Main thing this has over other Normal-types is that just raw power + decent physical bulk, if you pair it with two walls that have cool bulk to take on special pokemon (Mega Rupt + Ferro in my case) you can check a majority of special attackers that could abuse a re-charge turn.
(F) @ Assault Vest
Trait: Thick Fat
EVs: 120 Atk / 172 SDef / 216 Spd OR 252 Atk / Rest in SpD / 216 Speed
Careful Nature (+SDef, -SAtk)
- Thunder Punch / Earthquake
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Power-Up Punch / Earthquake
I didn't really think priority was too necessary witout TSpikes on Hariyama, plus this team had a Sneasel + Rotom-n so BPing Archeops wasn't too huge of a deal. I thought this set was really chill and SG took my PuP Hariyama Week 5 vs. Teddie idea which is sad but yeah. I ran this set twice (Except first set ran max adamant because bulk wasn't a big deal) but yeah. There aren't many Pokemon that love to switch into Hariyama bar the Colbur Musharna set people enjoy but that's somewhat easy to pressure with hazards and generally strong attacks so yeah that's why this set was cool. It really hurt a lot of the bulky teams and a lot of players relied on Garbodor or Mantine to round off Defensive cores so this was cool to kinda pressure that in a sense.
@ Life Orb
Trait: Clear Body
EVs: 240 Atk / 172 SAtk / 96 Spd
IVs: 30 HP / 30 SAtk
Rash Nature (+SAtk, -SDef)
- Hidden Power [Grass]
- Gear Grind
- Return
- Shift Gear
Anybody who knows me, knows that I've had a huge boner for this set back in the BW2 NU days on Pokemon Online (Used Thunder over Return fuck Alomomola) But yeah, this set is easily one of my favorite. HP Grass lures in Seismitoad / Quagsire which can be awesome for opening holes and things of that nature. Tbh, Volt Switch could also be used on a mixed set just to wreck havoc if you're real af. Not much else to say about this. Didn't get used in SPL but I've had 2-3 teams that I almost pulled the trigger on, mainly vs. Ted / Giara / Goomy since they didn't know I loved this set as SG / Finch did
(M) @ Choice Specs
Trait: Water Absorb
EVs: 120 HP / 252 SAtk / 136 Spd
IVs: 30 HP / 30 SAtk
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Air Slash
- Hydro Pump
- Hidden Power [Grass] / Signal Beam
- Scald
Had to shout-out the set that copped me my first kill this SPL on the first turn. Specs Mantine was really fucking fun and an awesome offensive pivot with amazing immunities and resistances in NU right now. To the point where a shitload of things are running odd moves in order to lure it. Wild Charge Typh / Pyroar or HP Electric Samurott, I'm guilty of running both unfortunately. But yeah, can't say much more about this set lol, straight forward. Signal Beam for SpD Malamar OHKO or w.e strong damage is cool and I like hitting the bulky Psychics for definite damage because fuck Hydro
@ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 200 Def / 56 Spd
Bold Nature (+Def, -Atk)
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Rest
- Sleep Talk
iirc in SPL I actually ran the 56 Spd into 56 SpD, I forgot what I lived but it did help with tanking strong special moves at +1 but yeah. This set was really cool. Obviously played a key in my Week 1 win against FLCL but if it wasn't specifically this set, I would've lost unfortunately so yeah. CroUxie absorbs status for any team and isn't phazed by annoying Toxic Pokemon or Rotom-S w/ Will-O-Wisp to name something I guess. Great overall set though. Lure Dark-types in obviously, or let them get worn down with Rocky Helmet Garbodors and hazards in general. TSpikes work too.
(M) @ Eviolite
Trait: Torrent
EVs: 88 HP / 236 SAtk / 184 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Defog
- Hydro Pump
- Ice Beam / GK
- Agility
Yeah I don't even wanna talk about this lol
I'll post a few more when I feel motivated to keep posting these but yeah I was the first to use Offensive Mega Audino in SPL iirc and I used Frillish too,,,
