Looks like I get to use this again:



Was not the most exciting tour overall, but it did have its moments.
And I did enjoy some of the amalgamate memes.

I might post some of the teams I used later but not sure how useful they are now that gen 7 is over

Good job UK and thanks to everyone else involved as it was a nice way to end the generation

To be honest, this post was just an excuse to repost this TI quote from earlier in the year which is even funnier now
The Immortal said:
Where do I begin. Racool and w0rd in 2019 is a big yikes.
 
Congratz to UK on the win, you guys were a strong team and it was exciting to face you guys in the finals. As for us south, you guys are all beasts and it was a ton of fun teaming up with you guys (thanks for handling my consistent tags whether it would be team help or incest memes :p). I had fun playing MnM and with Gen8 coming up, i'll look forward to that. I'll just drop the teams i have used through this tour and I won't go too dept into them just to make room for shoutouts.


Quantum Tesseract Thank you for always being available to test and go over teams. you're a great captain and player as you were able to go undefeated on your own and of course the help of Dragonillis did great in tier shift.
In The Hills Aside from what happened in finals, you were also an enthusiastic captain and a cheerful guy. You didn't have the greatest performance in playing as you were a busy man irl but shit happens and no one blames you for that. Thanks for being a positive guy to talk to.
aesf Man I knew you were good as we teamed up in ompl but bro did you go IN this tour. I had a ton of fun building with you (even if the teams weren't exactly perfect kek) and you went out there just got W after W. I hope we get to team again in whatever tour comes next.
Catalystic I know going into this tour, you weren't going to be the most active dude but you made up for it by getting us wins when it mattered. This is like our 3rd time teaming up and as always, it ends up being a great experience.
PinkDragonTamer PinkDragonFucker. Jokes aside, I'm not the biggest BH expert but it was fun watching you play and get the wins when it matters. The finals game was unfortunate but you did all you could to be the best for our team. thank you for that :D
Havens thanks for subbing in to Camos whenever ITH was being lazy. you were a positive presence to have and talk to always.
a loser Plas E4 Flint chadmagby :goat: pdt probably wouldn't have got his record without the BH guys help so thank you guys for that.
GL Volkner Volknerd :3 please stick around for gen8 :D
 
Being on south was a fun experience, if not because of Skysolo's constant stream of incest memes early on or how we kept winning so much, then because of how everyone on the team was pretty chill in general. Can't say that me from two years ago would've expected myself to go 10-1 across OMPL and WCOM......in STABmons of all things (highly subtle flex here). But here I am, doing a silly bo7 in WCOM finals that was supposed to just be an excuse to not build, and turning out to be some hype gen7 stabmons grand finale or something. It was an exhilarating journey all the way, and I'm definitely glad I came back this summer for OMs again. These tours, and this year especially for me, have always been overwhelmingly positive experiences.

That being said, this tour was super chill compared to ompl, which isn't a knock on WCOM. I only remember building like 2 teams the entire tour, both AAA, and only one of which was used at all. I'll still post the ones I used if anyone at all cares for some reason:

Basically wanted to use Chandy HO since it was October and October is spooky szn. Also cause aero and araq just got banned so chandy's hella good.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7stabmons-1003480491

Didn't have a team this week so I recycled one I built from OMPL. It's an alright team ig

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7stabmons-1007281899

We'd won the week already so I brought a beartic meme squad from ompl and boyyy beartic snapped. This team was always randomly good even though it wasn't supposed to be.

Skysolo had some darmanitan phase during week 2 or 3 or smth, and I rolled with it that week cause we had won already


Also the aaa team I built for Cata in finals:
https://hastebin.com/ujecigapel.diff (W vs racool)

Now for some team shoutouts (I'm corny asf look away if u have to):
  • a loser You're like my long lost brother. Change your name, you're not a loser, you're a super nice guy :(. Thanks for hanging around the team and giving us a taste of a weinner
  • Catalystic You're like my long lost brother. Did amazing in AAA, and you provided great support all around. I didn't do shoutouts for OMPL but in OMPL anyone could see that you were absolutely worth your price regardless of your price. Even though you're significantly busier now, the legendary team helper Catalystic's presence was defintiely felt this tour. Sometimes I think u really are a machine.
  • E4 Flint You're like my long lost brother, but like still lost to me. I didn't interact with BH this tour, but you're practically in like BH Olympus somewhere so being able to summon BH zeus to join in on the party was an absolute privilege.
  • Havens You're like my long lost brother. Before I knew you as that guy who bluffed scarf koko in snake vs me, but now I know you exclusively as :floridaman:. But seriously, you were a great help in camo and hopefully you'll retain those mafia bluffing skills in gen 8.
  • In The Hills You are like my long lost brother. You actually gassed us up so much throughout the tour and I guess we proved you right. Was fun teaming w you for the first time since the Hydrophobic Hydreigons where we kinda existed separately. Don't be down about the record--you firmly grasped our team and piloted us to near victory.
  • Quantum Tesseract You are also like my long lost brother. Carrying us to undefeated in a meta no one else was willing to play was far from the only thing you did. Having someone who isn't afraid to lay someone down is invaluable, and your contributions to pretty much every meta were superhuman.
  • PinkDragonTamer You're like my long lost brother. Having a free win slot is nice to say the least in 6-game series. Sick skills, you've really turned on and aren't turning it off, keeping fucking those dragons.
  • Plas chadmagby. You're like my long lost brother. but only if my brother's name was Chad. Great player and absolute animal of a dude, you (and ham) not playing this tour was a crime.
  • Skysolo You're like a long lost brother to me. You put in so much effort building so many teams for stabmons and lowkey kinda carried me through half the weeks. Aside from pretty much igniting the southcord culture, your mons knowledge and your performance in all aspects cannot be undervalued.
Also S/o to all those who helped us, Dragonillis , GL Volkner

Penny saved is still a fucking penny
I know Gen 7 is over, but I spent 28 minutes all in all making these and camo needs some love so what the hell. :mehowth:

https://pokepast.es/5a6920ae0467f6d9 :
Based on our bird lord raptor, fighting/flying is a scary scary typing, since lots of ghosts opt for secondary typings that is neutral to flying or straight up weak, and reckless brave bird hits so hard that even all you smart ones cannot deal with it, so dumb ones dont even need to bother. Rest of the team other than buzz and volc is pretty standard-ish camo, as 4 other camo players will know, with pursuit and yada yada yada. Coming to volcanion, smack down physical is pretty cool actually, it pretty much bops every lati, cress etc. Same with buzz, which gives you a sort of flying spam. Also really wish to have a good non hax bo3 with matiss someday :)

https://pokepast.es/79eda79140577487 :
This probably is my favorite of the lot, contains ton of fun mons like metronome kyurem, consistently beating all latis, cress etc. Houndoom being really scary as a mid game breaker, and torn really patching things up with scarf foul play, in between its just taunting defensive mons with buzz, wish passing with chansey and what not.

https://pokepast.es/36ec3ea00e03554e :
While not my favorite team, it just follows a very basic concept of magpull + bulu. Also this team gives you 100% wins since it is sure to hax your opponent. Only set which is cool here is the bro set, its just really cool, having that much bulk and foul play both.

https://pokepast.es/0f80ca105482fd0a :
Really like this one as well, noivern in my opinion is really underrated, the consistency of boomburst spam + pursuit is amazing. Another cool mon here is staka, hits insanely hard and gets a ton of surprise kills with fightnium z.


As far as the tour goes, it was fine. Really wish we had more people active though but well can't compete with real life. My personal highlight was that amazing series between word and aesf, really great to see people having fun after all these years.Only shoutout to vivalospride for being a diva and revealing the truth about me, aesf and PinkDragonTamer

i used these for all weeks except i used fb team one week so wont reveal that since not mine s/o qt volky a loser flint for helping me. sucks to lose in finals cuz undefeated is a good look, but i was happy w my gen 7 bh resurgence ever since GL Volkner asked me to sign up for ompl randomly. i had forgotten how fun the meta was, and sad to see gen 7 go for sure. idk how involved ill be in gen 8 but im addicted to ps so who knows. s/o money magearns, s/o south. do whatever u want with these teams cuz the gen is over now. also my wacanda berries worked but crits said no cwl

disclaimer: all of these except for the tail glow ph mmx team was made with a no-shed gentleman

s/o vivalospride for gassing me ly broski
aesf Sylveon. the trouble never ends...
*sips [redacted]*
 
Echoing word and probably the majority of oms, whilst im happy we won, im more glad the tour is over and the gen is over ngl. Like im glad I did come back this summer, and im pleasantly surprised with how quickly I was able to shake off the rust, and I did have some pretty fun games and made some p cool teams between Ompl and omwc, but despite that I am just very glad to see the end of these tours lol.

As for teams, here's my personal team dump for gen 7 aaa (which is fairly useless with gen 8 out but hey ho): https://pokepast.es/de37ddf1ec1b8cfe
Sorry to disappoint all the people who made all those "fishing" comments, but ur gonna struggle to find any such teams there which only win vs niche stuff and lose to really common stuff... but who knows, wouldn't put it past you all to convince yourself that all those teams are still mu fishes just cos theyr racool teams lol.

Also for whatever few people are interested in ever playing gen 7 aaa now or in the future, me, Jrdn, aesf, geerat, stresh (and whoever else is interested) are pooling together all our best teams from this gen and making a dump which we plan on posting in a few places, deffo in the aaa thread, so watch out for that.

That being said some quick s/o's are in order:

To the entire team UK: WE ARE BROKEN - OMWC = Smashed ;)

Will & Ham: GOAT managers, literally too fucking chill lol. Team vibe was great and im v glad I was tempted back to sign up for the tour this time around. (oh and sorry again for not using ur team in finals ham ;-;). The fact that we actually won this tour with our resident OMGS Winner (HAMSLAM) on the bench is ridiculous lol.

Stresh: Honestly ur a beast man, thanks for the endless help with prep basically whenever I needed it, and for smacking the shit outa me literally every fucking test match lmao. aaaaaand you finally beasted in a team tour!! I see what uve done here, this UK team the only team worthy enough to experience your true prowess, fair enough ;)

w0rd: racool and w0rd the dynamic duo of 2k19, who'd have thunk it loooool. Nah but for real, was a pleasure teaming with you and winning with you back to back, you deffo made the comeback a helluva lot more enjoyable man, who knows we might have to do this again one of these years..... ;P

Chazm: Congrats on having the most wins of any player between Ompl and omwc man, well deserved and even more impressive given that all the omwc wins came in a tier you didnt even main and against pretty fucking good oposition (the most impressive one was the win vs rozes imo, didnt expect that). Also your knee jerk response to us winning the tour by instantly leaving the server was quite funny ngl.

Cam: Not the hero we deserved but the hero we needed. Thanks for taking one for the team and playing in that dogshit tier every week man lol, I honestly thought this was gonna be the team tour where you didnt get haxed at all but alas. Im just glad that the last ts match didnt matter in the end or I woulda feared for your sanity and wellbeing lol.

Roginald & HSOWA: Thanks for coming in clutch and joining when they nerfed us last minute guys, shame you 2 weren't able to sub in as much as I woulda liked, but next time for sure ;) Lads server OP

Non-Team S/O's:
OM Friends: you should know who you are, thanks for making this summer fun.
Goon Squad: same as above

Finally thanks to Ransei and OM room for hosting, the fact that you managed to keep this tour running on track despite the obvious lul in interest towards gen 7 with gen 8 released was impressive.

I dont know what gen 8 holds in store for me, so potentially (although deffo not certainly) this could be my last tour for a while, in which case it was my pleasure to have been on this team and to be part of this Victory :)

Week 1 : https://pastebin.com/3HB5Pk4A : Here is the best Team Concept that I created (BlazStall), but this version wasn't good enough. Old ones were better
Week 2 : https://pastebin.com/JqWtkwxB : Pogre SF is amazing and carried me
Week 3 : https://pastebin.com/gjFxww8q : A GREAT NEW STRATEGY ! First, think to a mon you want to play. Then, go the the OMPL Ressources Thread and find Cityscapes' post. Look for the mon you were thinking then use "ctrl+c" then "ctrl+v" and play his team. Congrats, you are ready. (Weakness : I lost lmao)

Thanks to LBDC and Siamato (Matiss98) for taking me in the team and thanks to all the players/helpers of our Discord ! France won't lose any match next time ^^ GG UK !

Teamdump time since we haven't quite gotten gen 8 OMs yet. Originally I planned to recycle things I built between OMPL and OMWC but ended up getting at least some inspiration in most weeks. Pokepaste is being weird for me right now so I've decided to be a boomer and use pastebin, hopefully that's fine.

Week 1 vs Multi (BO3) - W

G1: https://pastebin.com/cf3enQRQ

I've passed this around for ssnl and it was also used by Andy in Week 1, this is basically just reskinned triplespeed except it turned from HO into Offense by adding a Defogger and changing Pins Entei to Pins Magearna, so it's actually not triplespeed lol. The team's fine, gotta be really careful with your steels and Pdon though, if they take too much chip things can go sideways, notably against Alt Zyg. The game was fine too except for the part where I got caught out by Taunt Lele and had to set up in front of 3 Flamethrowers from Fairyceus instead, got unfort-ed, happens.

G2: https://pastebin.com/0jEik7Hh

Yeah idk. It's Gengar semi-stall because it just is. That's pretty much it. Like I guess I wanted to use this on ladder and felt like smashing Pigeons with a cursed Gengar set but I never ran into him anyway. I don't even know how to justify half of this, but I guess it's not horrible, apart from the fact that I brought the waterceus version by accident (lolol nooo stresh that's the variant that loses to sub pins mage what are you doing, bring the one that totally beats sub pins mage probably that has 3 attacks Manectite Slowbro). Waterceus definitely worked out fine in the game though, almost as if having more than one defogger on your stall/semi-stall team helps you win matches. Probably still the best Amphy Bliss team that's ever been made and that's a fire mon for keeping Rocks up in difficult matchups but I mean every matchup is difficult so whatever man.

G3: https://pastebin.com/CyEHR8Cz

Brought a sample because it's legitimately still one of the strongest teams in the meta, not perfect by any means but has the tools to deal with most stuff. I liked this game because I felt it was a decent showcase of how the extra offensive pressure can help out a lot, as well as the combined focus on destroying the things that try to offensively check multiple mons (Terrak took 60 from Mamo, Kart took 77 from Ekiller).

Week 2 vs Mengy - W

https://pastebin.com/YUrd3vgs

I'm generally not a fan of using Pogre builds, but I was scared of stall here so I brought something that would be able to smash if it came down to that. Teams with Pogre all generally follow the same idea, in that you maximize the amount of kills/important chip that Pogre can get, and minimize the cost of running a slow-ish breaker with little defensive utility outside of being able to punish Pdon for wasting turns. It's not the most creative thing to work with and gameplans involving these teams are pretty telegraphed, but they do generally work.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7mixandmega-1003407304


Week 3 vs Andyboy - L

I used a Chazm team and lost. Coincidence? Yes. The team is a fairly standard way to fill out Mandibuzz + Manectite Mage BO, which is an archetype I actually don't hate right now though it does have its issues. The game was very tough, had to consistently calc stuff and run through scenarios, most of which were just wack 50/50s, but it was very fun. Shame it had to come down to a crit at the end, but at least from UK's perspective it didn't really matter for anything other than my 5-0 record so w/e.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7mixandmega-1007498139


Semi-finals vs TectonicDestroyer - W

https://pastebin.com/GRe7zmQS

I just wanted something super aggressive to catch him off guard, and again to not lose to stall, so I ended up with double boom + big V-create mon (yes, this is named "ok boomer" in my builder). This build is one of the only ways I could think of to spread Pdon's roles around the team without sacrificing consistency, and is also the third Dia Lele team I'd brought in a row at that point, so shoutout that mon. I'm kinda disappointed with how the game went because of the awkward Slowbro counterplay, this can definitely be fixed with Work Up on Victini though.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7mixandmega-1010981165-aglgd7tzu4dulzyhb4orx198uvichippw


Finals vs Skysolo - W

https://pastebin.com/HVJ9qWf0

Skysolo seemed to favour more aggressive builds with stuff like MandiMage to anchor the teams defensively, so I figured the best way to deal with this was to bring Xern HO and stack threats that are generally strong against that stuff. In the case of any other matchup there's a decent amount of speed control for offense and Deo-D to stack hazards on fat. Reflect on Xern is a tech stolen straight out of one of Ubers/AG, I honestly don't know which, but I like it here to make Xern more useful if it has to come out early in the game and can't win. All you need to do is just Geo up and Reflect in front of their soft checks, if they still manage to take you down you have a couple of turns of Reflect to abuse for more setup, which is nice considering the main thing that's likely to take you down is Espeed. Pdon's a nice breaker and NDM complements the double Espeed and offensive nature of the team by taking on Lele (Xern is also very strong in most Lele matchups so you should be fine there). I was pretty nervous about bringing a fairly niche style to a finals game and I may have gone for something else if I had more time to prep, but I guess it turned out fine, although the Steelceus reveal really hurt when my original plan was to work towards a Xern win.

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7mixandmega-1015412727

Racool - Best AAA slot this tour, people really continue to underrate you it seems. It was nice to know that we'd probably be starting 1-0 up at least, especially as your opponents were willing to accept bo3s vs you (I still think this is a big mistake on their part). I also had a lot of fun testing and chatting in general, was definitely one of the things I liked the most about the tour.

Willdbeast - BOP. You really came through for us every time we needed a win, great stuff man. The meme ideas were hilarious, and even though half of them weren't used, the line of thinking was worth it for FC Kyu-B alone. I loved the fact that we're probably the only duo of BH players I can think of that would leave their team tour prep until the day of the game as well, but that ended up working out really well so I'll take it. Plus if we'd built the teams in the middle of the week then we would have probably ended up with something like Regenvest Deo-A so I think it was for the best.

Chazm - Well we both talked about trying a different meta in a team tour in the months leading up to WC, you win I guess lmao. It looked like you were really in your element in Camo tbh, I was impressed at how well you played. Thanks for helping me out with the MnM stuff too, I really didn't know what I was doing at points so having someone to talk to helped. Also 6 minutes is definitely some type of record for dipping from a team tour cord after winning LOL.

w0rd - I didn't really know you before this tour but you're fuckin hilarious. This tour was really fun for me because of how cool the team was outside of mons stuff, and you were a large part of that so thank you.

Cam - Yeah Tier Shift sucks dick, but I preferred talking about anything but mons anyway. You're super chill to be around, which is exactly what I needed when playing in a Gen 7 OM tour that runs over into the start of gen 8.

Hamhamhamham - S/O for creating such a chill team environment and helping out wherever you could (especially in TS no one else was willing to touch that tier lmao). Sorry if my general lack of communication with prep was frustrating for you in any way.

HSOWA - What a username, I honestly would have never guessed what it meant. Sorry about your one game being pretty much lost on matchup, the fact that you came pretty close to winning was actually pretty impressive for someone who hasn't touched the tier before.

Roginald - It was nice to see you take an interest in the metas and the games, and you cheered us on all the way to the win. I hope to see you around more in Gen 8.


S/O Andyboy , vivalospride , and Gmansour20 for being Andyboy, Vivalospride and Gmansour, and also S/O to US South for being great finals opponents.

See you all in Gen 8...
 
I'd written like 5 pages of emotional deep shoutouts but it was boring af so I deleted it, short and sweet lads

shoutout everyone on the team, it was amazing how much effort you put in even towards the end with the new gen etc, easiest team in the world to manage we just posted a lineup w1 then did nothing for 5 weeks
ham it was great to actually win a team tour with you, idk how I manage to be in the same team as you literally every tour but it's always fun. Next year TI will probably make scotland a separate team though so better enjoy it while it lasts
racool I'm really glad you decided to stick around for this, you're a beastly player and a great Lad. gl with your studies and I hope you're back next year for a season of mons to rustcool everyone to death again
chazm is just a no nonsense mons winning machine, nothing else to say
stresh 'twas fun doing some i n n o v a t i o n
cam it seems like we only ever bump into each other for omwc, it's always a pleasure having you on the team, sorry you had to play TS
word had no idea who you were until this year, but you're super chill and funny so please stick around to play more
HSOWA thanks man for stepping up to help us out, hope I'll see you around sometime
roginald literally no clue who you are or anything until this but you were really friendly and encouraging in the discord so I'm glad we all got to meet you, even if you didn't play. thanks for signing up just to help us out

everyone who helped me test etc no shoutout for you, I already gave you one don't get greedy >:[ (but thanks)
aesf you were the only non-lad allowed into our discord to help us, so thanks for the help and the banter, it was a pleasure to face your team in finals too
mark and siamato it's a shame we couldn't team but I'm glad you both got to play and it's great that both your teams showed what you're made of and picked up some wins, hope we can face you again next year
vivalospride ty for always believing in me <3
hosty people aside from the rocky start this tour went very smoothly, thanks for the time you put in
Hassin627 you're a fucking coward for not joining this
anyone else most of you are cool hope you had fun

Lads team broken lets smash em again next year :ursa:

yours truly omwc winner willdbeast

Well, the theard is here, so why not team dump..

Week 1 vs TI (Win)
:Garchomp: :Magearna: :Heatran: :Manaphy: :Zapdos: :Tyranitar:

For the W1, I honestly had no idea of what Ti could bring, I expected only something like an bo. So I figured that bring something of solid and what I'm good with would be the best option. In same time, I wanted to play the SR+SD Adapta Garchomp since some times and it was the perfect moment for this. After tried to build some Doublade varients (that i does't even completed lul), i finally started on SF Mag. RegeVest Manaphy and Intimidate Zapdos form the defensive backbone, while Band Tyranitar bring additional wallbreak at the team. Heatran set is a bit weird yea but check Fini and Mag is alawys cool. Speed EV on Heatran is for outspeed minimum speed Tapu Fini, while Liquidation Manaphy allow at mana to beat non-Desolate Land Volcarona, a difficult match-up otherwise with QD Spd boost.

Overall, it is cool team but the lack of speed control (notably a Scarf pokémon) hurt a bit.

Week 3 vs Catalystic (Win)

:Noivern: :Heatran: :Buzzwole: :Tapu Fini: :Tapu Bulu: :Thundurus:

Unlike W2, W3 prep was pretty simple to find, I seen that cata like Ferrothorn/Skarmory, and Noivern just nuke both. I have pick CB Tinted Bulu+Grassy Surge (Fini), a core that I typically like, to pressure even more Steel-types/Zapdos. Heatran/Buzzwole/Tapu Fini is the defensive core, while Scarf Aerilate Thundurus is, yeah I admit, weird, but it allows me to revenge kill both of Volcarona and Lando-T, two potential thearts for me.

Basically copied the TripleSpeed sample and modified it a little, replacing Arceus with an -ate check in Manectite Mag and Mamoswine for Landorus, a faster setter that can cripple Defoggers.

Though I'm not that experienced with MnM I'd say I had an unfortunate matchup with both NDM and Pinsirite Mag, plus the fact that I didn't have Fire Punch on Groudon to soft check Mag.

Being fairly new to STABmons, I kinda liked the idea of Sticky Web Beedrill-Mega, so I went with it. Rotom-Wash checks Landorus-Therian which otherwise walls it, and Magnezone traps and eliminates Celesteela. Considering word is a really good STAB player I went with a meme set (thought of by Fissure), which can sub and set up on Celesteela lacking EQ or Flamethrower, which sounded pretty cool to me. Dragonite is the main wallbreaker and wincon, appreciating support from Magnezone and Sticky Web to maintain its bulk while setting up Dragon Dance. Latias is a secondary speed controller, good for removing rocks (which really hurt Beedrill and Dragonite) and providing a full heal for both in a pinch. Bisharp is there to punish Defoggers.

Pretty haxy game. Unfortunately, word didn't bring anything Magnezone could abuse, though I was at least able to KO his Clefable. Rotom-Wash was the real MVP here, having coverage that hit everything on his team, and the main reason I won in the late game. Losing Beedrill-Mega because I forgot Accelerock existed sucked, though, because with it I probably could've pressured his team more.

This week, I wanted to build using Terrakion and Thundy-T, two threats in the tier that synergize pretty well. Rotom-Wash, Ferrothorn, and Sylveon form a solid defensive core, while Medicham-Mega is a good wallbreaker that softens the opponent for Terrakion or Thundy-T.

Another haxy game, this time coming down to a freeze and the last turn's speed tie. I had a matchup issue with Altaria-Mega, since none of my mons could switch into it, but luckily I was able to limit its presence with a boosted OWing and KO it with my Z-Move. Had my team been a little faster I wouldn't have had to rely on hax to win rip

Basically I took GL Volkner's OMPL Semis team and put a more balanced spin on it. I kept the NG MMY/PH TTar core while adding Pixilate Magearna to guarantee spins against Ghost spam teams, Xerneas to spread paralysis and set rocks, and Chansey to take advantage of the spread paralysis and hax the hell out of the opponent. It's not exactly a consistent team by any means (has a great matchup against offense but struggles against bulkier teams and stall), but I guess that's what happens when you use NG MMY unironically.

shoutout to jasprose for being a nerd and using choice scarf chansey and also not wanting to use hail stall cause its "too wack"
