Ludicolo @ Assault Vest
Ability: Rain Dish
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 30 Atk
- Giga Drain
- Scald
- Ice Beam
- Focus Blast
Very Specially bulky, this is a Kyogre counter. Ice Beam is for Landog switch-ins, idk that they would switch in, but they are a problem. It's crucial for Zygarde and useful for Rilla. I hate Zygarde. Focus Blast hits Ferro mainly. W/ the special bulk, this set can stall out at least much of P2's PP(haven't had the match-up, so idk how it goes.) All in HP and SpD because Ludicolo kinda sucks physically. But it does still take Fishious Rend pretty well, out of rain or maxed in it. This won 1v3 vs. a Kyogre, Ditto, and Rhypherior maybe(they resigned so it probably was their other Ludicolo weakness.)

I forget exactly what the bulk does, but I know I only need this much Spe, for Zacian. Ludicolo is a dedicated Kyogre counter(check if Ogre can max and mine's used up,) so I really don't think I need the Spe tie. Origin Pulse, to me, is better than Surf. Hydro Pump's power w/ 5 more acc. Usual moves. This suppors Ludicolo. This and Ludicolo are meant to cover grounds for Regieleki. It has been pretty good. Great for Zacian, usually.

Keeping Regieleki for good. I've spent a bit of time oni EV spreads. I took 1 point from Spe because it was only tying boosted Scolipede, not beating it. This outspeeds positive +1 100s, which is to me all it needs. Max SpA EVs for sure, and an extra point in SpD for p2. Electro Ball is ok for P2(didn't do very good w/ P2 in the past, idk now) and good for a few other slow mons like Ferro(major, even through resist,) Magnezone(kod max from low HP, T-bolt would likely have failed to do so,) Slowking-g, Eeveelotions, Pyukumuku(you win anyway, but it won't live to Toxic, same w/ Pex,) Stakataka, Lapras(maybe the biggest target, even literally,) Corsola-g, and the odd Pincchurchin. Torkoal hasn't been brought the times I brought Lieki, but I've seen it a bit. In Max, Assurance ohkos non-max Caly-S, even w/ -atk, This also is the only decent max attack Regieleki gets vs. Excadrill, and it beats Shedinja(needed, 3 mons don't hit it, including both legends.) Emergency attack to at least damage grounds a tiny bit, and gets Mamo at its sash. Can help get around Chansey w/ max, the SpD drop, terrain, and Electro Ball after that. Electro Ball has been very fun and Regieleki is great for Pex, though I'm a bit prepared for that besides(I can't remember the last time I faced a Pex. But I did outspeed and ko a +1 Zapdos.) Changed to LO per a suggestion that I needed the power in max, and sometimes to change moves. The HP loss is somewhat trivial on a frail mon, though it does run some bulk(So should it be Magnet? I'm already missing some kos from the change from Specs, though.) My favorite for sure, my 1st act in picking a team is to check what's weak to this. Also 2hkos non-max TTar maxed itself, if terrain is already up. The bulk is really great, I took airstream into overgrowth from Kartana(maxed ofc,) and 2 hits of LO, w/ 1 HP left. Lives max Resonance, idk if it was max SpA though.

- Hex
- Will-O-Wisp
- Strength Sap
- Destiny Bond
Idk that this has been good. It's nostalgic at least. Has some to much use vs. the majority of physical attackers, can often trade w/ a special attacker due to Destiny Bond, if it lives a hit to become faster, and they don't max or are Eternatus("luckily" most special attackers don't need to max to win 1v1.) By far the most use from this is value vs. Zacian(unless it's both Adamant AND I get a bad role. Or if it's SD...) Great vs. Rhypherior and TTar, though, despite types. Usually useful vs. Rilla. Like Ludicolo, this has an advantage over Ditto. If Ditto already copied something, then hopefully it's Zacian or Landog, if I'm fighting it w/ this. Good vs. standard Necrozma dusk mane.

Adamant Nature
- Iron Head
- Play Rough
- Swords Dance
- Psychic Fangs
I finally went op w/ Zacian. This is for Ushifu SS which is always trouble. EVs are for max atk, Spe up to max Ace, and the rest in bulk. Swords Dance is necessary for my Cosmic Power Eternatus match-up. The last move is highly flexible, I just picked Psychic Fangs per a suggestion. I don't really need the Pex coverage, and it hardly does anything bar ofc break screens(though that itself can be major, needed it once so far.) So far this has been fine, It lived a +2 Meteor Beam from Eternatus at half(it missed the 1st one and went for a 2nd on Drifblim, a misplay cause it gave me the only possible way to win.)

My old Landog. This used to be WP for an item, but Lum should be OK for Hippo. This lives a bunch of stuff I list in some of my earlier RMT(s.) Mostly living some ice/water as Max. Spe is for high Spe Mimikyu. Normal enough moves, Stone Edge over Rock Tomb to sometimes do enough to Zapdos. Ho-oh too, Stone Edge will do a lot even if burn happens. Main consideration is should it be a little more SpD for the P2 Download boost to be wrong? It's close to that, but what should I take from? Swords Dance is fairly commonly used, for example on a mirror switch-in, which is common. Also that wretched Cosmic Power Eternatus I talked about. Intimidate is very helpful, sometimes that's all this is for. This has been highly useless, I need something better for mirrors and Airstreamers besides the mirror.
Series just started so I haven't played much ofc. Lapras and Landog are trouble, maybe Blaziken idk. Mostly been good though. Every mon but Landog seems to be contributing, particularly Kyogre and my favorite, Regieleki. TR is probably still a problem. Had trouble before w. a core of Gastrodon/Ho-oh, Gastrodon can switch in on Ogre/Lieki who beat Ho-oh, and Ho-oh does great vs. Ludicolo who beats Gastrodon. Gastrodon should beat Landog, and Drifblim has little to offer there.
