4pm Jett here just dropping some of my teams here since the tour is over and I don't see myself playing much SS any more.
W1 - Jett vs Louna (W)
Funnily enough, this was the only Klinklang team I brought all tournament (and many of the later weeks featured 0 Klinklangs in any of our SS slots). Pretty standard team built around Lycanroc and the aim was to overwhelm physical walls such as Tangela and Palossand with Knock Off and Toxic. Early weeks I was using a lot of the Tangela + Stunfisk + Altaria defensive core since it covered most things bar Ice-types. Klinklang could cover the Articuno weakness while people didn't commonly use Jynx or Froslass at the time given they were relatively high risk Pokemon (and to be honest, the latter is still heavily underutilised and underrated). This was probably the cleanest game I played this whole tournament.
W4 - Jett vs Krystyl (W)
W7 - clean vs viet noa (W)
By Week 4, it was clear that people were just gonna spam these physical counters against me so I decided to switch it up with one of the strongest special attackers in the tier. I went with Timid over Modest, a tech first use by Toto in LT playoffs in order to get the advantage against Aritcuno not running much creep so that Psyshock could 2HKO it before it got to respond. The rest of the team was just a bunch of pivots aimed to get Eggy in and deal as much damage as possible or weaken stuff so that Silvally-Poison/Kabutops could clean the game. This team won twice and TWiTT helped me with it so it must be good, right...
W4 - SEA vs TheFranklin (L)
TWiTT made a really cool Lilligant set which not only could act as a one time pivot with the Leaf Storm Eject Button combo, but could also remove Articuno's or Rapidash Heavy-Duty Boots with Covet afterwards. It also got access to Healing Wish and I decided this would have been a great opportunity to use SD 3 Attacks Rapidash as it looked great into Franklin's scout at the time. Skuntank was another breaker that could appreciate the healing and the rest of the team was a pretty standard defensive core. Unfortunately, we ran into a really cool team from Franklin and ended up losing to Falinks but I think a lot of the ideas here were pretty cool and probably just needed a little refining. (Either that or the matchup was just bad, who knows).
W5 - Jett vs Danny (L)
Danny is someone who always beats me, and in particular is much better than me when it comes to playing longer games. Therefore I decided for Week 5, I'd bring quite an offensive team with 2 Pokemon I'd never used before. Silvally-Electric is a great Ground-type lure which can pivot in Flapple. My luck + Flapple is definitely an unusual combination, but to be honest it went rather well in tests (except for when I played Corthius). Rest of the team is fairly standard supportive mons you'd see on an offensive team. Jolly Rhydon with Megahorn is a decent lure for Tangela, but realistically you'd need to Knock it beforehand to be effective. Game was close, but I think my matchup was ass, Silvally-Electric was doing nothing because of double Electric and Flapple struggled vs the Articuno Tang core, and the Tangela was a weird spread I couldn't figure out but I think I should have gone for Megahorn more. Questionable Tangela matchup ngl but the team's fun at the very least.
W5 - clean vs ojr (W)
If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. After being enlightened by TheFranklin's usage of Froslass 3 weeks in a row, clean and I decided to bring one of our own. Pawniard was pretty much required in order to deter any Defog attempts and was also a decent setup sweeper, albeit pretty inconsistent. Offensive Tangela benefitted greatly from Spikes, and SD Qwil gave the team a much needed Rapidash answer but also posed as a big threat itself. Not the biggest fan of Clefairy but were were quite concerned of Thievul given our low usage of Fairy-types and its T Wave support was super beneficial given our breakers weren't the fastest.
W6 - Jett vs pichus (W)
I didn't really know what to run by the 6th week so ended up with a fairly standard Uxie Coal Alolan Dugtrio team. Scarf Trick Uxie is fairly known but not really used often and more disruption is always nice into bulkier teams, but you definitely do have to be careful to not Knock the mon you tricked. Not an insane team by any means but it played well so thought I'd leave it here.
W7 - Herv vs avarice (L)
This was probably my favourite teams of the whole tour. HO was pretty unviable for the most part unless you opted for cheese like Sun or Electric Terrain. Given we were already through this week and my players constantly wanted something more offensive, I decided to revamp my old version of Shiftry HO. Explosion Shiftry was first used by
kay who I forgor to give a shoutout in my other post and the person who basically got me up to speed in ZU and building when I first got into the tier. The idea is that Shiftry explodes on something like Altaria or another physical wall that threats like Rapidash and Sawk would have trouble breaking. I found non-cheese offenses typically struggles with Klinklang and Scarf Sawk so Rapidash was pretty mandatory and DD Alcremie as a final wincon could help turn the tide against those threats respectively. In the game this worked perfectly, Rhydon traded for Palossand and Shiftry managed to boom on Altaria so Rapidash had a pretty free winpath. Unfortunately, the rest of the game didn't go as planned but I really do think this team is really solid despite the results.
W2 - Jett vs LustfulLice (L)
Finals - clean vs beauts (W)
This wouldn't be a Jett team dump without at least 1 Silvally-Dark showing up. My opponent had an awful schedule and that forced me to play by Wednesday (and proceeded to disgustingly cteam me). Unfortunately, I also caught covid and would have to build and play while ill so I decided to revamp one of my Silvally-Dark teams that I had been spamming during LT. The previous version had issues with Ground-types but this one patched that problem but made opposing Tangela more of a nuisance to deal with instead. I still thought of this as an overall net positive so rolled with it. At the time I was pretty mad that I never did this team justice since my play was pretty poor that day. Fortunately, clean decided he would bring this team in finals, and even though Thievul was a massive threat, clean is a much better pilot than I am, so he still won out.
