Comfey double trick:-double trick link
Comfey triple trick;-triple trick link
its my first time doing this, I really appreciate you reading this article and thanks for reading
I am Originxpulse. also known as Origin.
This team kills both stall and rain teams equally. also is very strong against anyone who even knows its coming.
Lead:- you will Lead with either meowscarada deo-s and occassionally dragapault. and darkrai
you will lead with meowscarada, if you see samurrot or opposing meowscarada as leads. Your aim is simple:- u-turn out of them since most run banded meow and as for samurott you can u-turn out into comfey to take the free hit and if they switch out you can than decide what to send, this way you will have an advantage early game.
also do the same if u see ribombee as scarfed triple axel kills it through sash
you will lead with darkrai if you see iron treads as treads gets knocked out in two dark pulses and cannot really do anything against darkrai. or excadrill as lead. or banded scizor.[hypnosis it. if it hits its worth it as that mon is plenty annoying to deal with], and lastly rain teams as they dont really run a darkrai counter.
you will lead with dragapault if your opponent sends out arquanid or uncommon webbers in gulvantula and smeargle.
Lead with deo-s if you dont see any of the above and see any of the following:-deo-s,sun teams carrying hatterene, or any team carrying hatterene and having other leads than it, since more than likely they will send hatterene out this way only to be given a choice scarf additionally non lead teams other than above really try to set up on deo-s taking it for granted in gaugin fire and calm mind iron crown you could also scarf them into it.
Thats for the lead lets move on to the team and how it works.
your main target in the team are your three sweepers in dragapault,zamazenta and the extremely powerful triage comfey and i will show you why i say that, I have got gameplay proofs further down this article.
the trick mons job is to target the opponents defensive core or the hit takers and ruin them so you can then easily sweep up the rest
heres the indepth description of each member and how they are built.We will discuss on which mons should be your target and how to kill various team builds with it.
1]Deo-s
Deo-S (Deoxys-Speed) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Psychic
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Trick
- Spikes
- Psycho Boost
- Stealth Rock
Deo-s is our first scarfer running trick to trick out the opposing mons. so it can set up rocks and spikes freely. after tricking the opposing setter.
additionally it runs max sp attack to kill off boosted left of mons and deals 52-65% on flying tera moon. against hyper offense you want to keep its scarf as with scarf it is the faster mon on the tier. additionally you can run ice beam or shadow ball in its last slot if your not into setting spikes and want to play more aggresive.
deo-s scarfed can outspeed and revenge kill latias agility calm minded. altho if they havent terraed simply give them the scarf on a clam mind since deo-s would outspeed lock them into it. You can also trick the ou rillaboom lead and replace its band for scarf which than makes it so deo-s lives its u turn at 5% to put up rocks
it also can revenge kill agility iron moth as it outspeeds all.
2]Meowsci
Meowsci (Meowscarada) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Triple Axel
- Trick
- U-turn
- Knock Off
Scarfed meowscarada has more uses than banded in this team since you already have enough power in the team to kill off anything slower than meowscarada, you dont reallly need the power, instead the faster revenge killing of boosted mons and stall breaking ability of it is more better.
triple axel can kill off enamorous and flying ddanced roaring moon. additionally does 50%damage to neutral targets if all it hits hit. and having such utility was good.
its second move trick allows it to ruin skarmory which is a primary target to allow zama to sweep. its rocky helmet trade also makes it so body press now hurts skarmory itself, and since protean turns you into a physhic type you take no damage.
I suggest playing it on gliscor, or glowking as they will more than likely switch to skarmory and give them the scarf. addditonally if any gauging fire switches in on you to ddance you could also lock them into ddancing. king gambit or thunderclap raging bolt could also be locked into a single move.
trick was even more crucial against gliscor stalls since you could take its toxic orb and gift it to its teammates.getting them perma poisoned.
lastly knock off to kill gholdengo , yes bulky ghold leaves the hit but non bulky still dies to it. and if ghold was left at 11% your opponent was in danger. as ghold was another zama check.
3}Comfey.
Origin's-flowing (Comfey) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Triage
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 30 HP / 0 Atk
- Draining Kiss
- Giga Drain
- Calm Mind
- Tera Blast
This is mon is really well in the current meta its been worse last two years since it got completely walled by steel types around. but with tera it absolutely destroys them.
Comfey has the ability triage which makes its healing moves have priority of +3 meaning it goes faster than any thing else.in the tier with so many dragons and dark types running around in tier it gets free reign. over them and can incinerate any steel type with tera blast.
Triage makes it so it outspeeds even extreme speed nothing to say of thunderclap.
draining kiss two hit ko's most of the dragon types. and can revenge kill boosted roaring moon if it had been brought down on HP
drain kiss also one shots iron valiants some sets. great tusk with a boost. and other boosted mons is also effective against trickroom setting teams too, as most of their attackers are weak to giga drain,and drain kiss
its second move giga drain also gets priority and helps it 1v1 primarina and iron boulder yes the annoying outspeeding monster was weak to comfey. if comfey got a calm mind boost of it was 100% guranteed two hit koed 252 Atk Iron Boulder Mighty Cleave vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Comfey: 160-190 (52.4 - 62.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO ,
but even without a boost its very close mighty cleave without sd does 50-62% damage and comfey has a guaranteed 3hko on it. since comfey would move first it can heal off 20-24% of the damage done. 252+ SpA Comfey Giga Drain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Iron Boulder: 124-148 (38.6 - 46.1%) -- guaranteed 3HKO. and if it lived another hit by low roll. it would than kill it.
tera fire single boosted comfey would simply live on sash and kill it back.
for primarina you could calm mind 1v1 it out since giga drain hit supper effectively.
additonallly HO type of rain teams running barrasskewda get their barasskewda giga drain killed immediately tho suggest putting up rocks or spikes as barasskewda can live 9% of the times it got giga drained. Sash allows comfey to drain kiss kill weather ball kingdra and after a calm mind rain teams generally have no counters left your only target against rain is to eliminate their archaludon with your dragapult or zamazenta after which comfey could carry you and kill them off. some teams do run poison tentacruel. But you could wear it down or ddarts it out with dragapault.
Calm mind works for boosting it . and tera blast fire allows it to kill steel types in corviknight gholdengo and kinggambit. gholdengo will live if its not boosted but at very low health where you can drain kiss kill it the next turn. or tera blast it again depending if u have 299 speed evs or hp evs.
you can run either of them. i suggest running hp evs as it really doesnt need to outspeed much its plenty fast uninvested and outspeeds kinggambit.
however a speeed natured comfey can outspeed exacadrill if you decided to tera before it came out as it could threaten to eq kill it.
additionally tera fire comfey can 1v1 glowking dealing 43% damage to it with a single boosted tera blasts and taking minimum damage from its attacks so yes glowking does wall it as you wont be able to recover with drain kiss or giga drain but it can fight it out it out with it if it got a boost before glowking switched in thx to trick.
though be careful of assault vest glowking.
lastly you could run tera ground to catch off guard the other set of mons which are an issue to it. and to surprise your opponents.
its last slot can also run stored power if you wanna mess around with it.
overall comfey is a really solid choice
If your using this as a sweeper your main aim should be to eliminate cinderace,heatran,volcarona,glowking,and unaware mons in skeledrige and clodsire.and ruin hatterene as psyshock does kill it back.
if all of the flowking are gone there remains none in OU that can 1v1 or try to wall it
also kill off archaludon in rain because tera fire doesnt killl it well in rain. otherwise it could take care of it.
4} darkrai
Origin's-Darkrai (Darkrai) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Bad Dreams
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Hypnosis
- Dark Pulse
- Ice Beam
Darkrai will be running sash nasty plot as sash allowed lessseer chances to be swept by a boosted mon. additonally allowing it to fire two hypnosis and if a pokemon was asleep it was better to stop that run. with two tricks and hypnosis and a two sashed mons you were more than likely never going to be swept.
darkrai could also run scarf with trick on this team to make sure no stall gets any closer to it, if you like instead of hypnosis.
however hypnosis with nasty plot was plenty good in itself.
as sleep is powerful in the game.
dark pulse for flinch 20% and ice beam to kill off dragon types was a good coverage, you can also run sludge bomb in place of it.
I have been testing with scarfed darkrai here as well in place and it works well to completely kill off stall. since u have 3 trickers and 1 hypnosis to along.
5]zamazenta
Zamazenta @ Leftovers
Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 88 Def / 168 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Heavy Slam
- Substitute
zamazenta with iron defense can really sweep teams that have a more physical approach like teams built with gauging fire great tusk. additonally thx to new toy syndrome people generally carry only one zama check or two your aim against this teams would be to trick this mons with meow or deo and than sweep with zamazenta as they struggle to attack it.
its checks in dozo skele or dengo were alaready locked with dark types running in this team. it was also to note that zama had a great synergy with comfey you could send either and they would counter kill each others checks allowing one of them to sweeep.
heavy slam is better because will o wisp dragapault now barely exists and most people cant run it with new mons killling it off.
heavy slam allows it to kill hatterene as if it wasnt already tricked by a mon. take on moonblasts from other fairies in the tier and kill them back off.
if ur using this as a sweeper make sure you get rid of anything special like primarina or flame body mons in volcarona, as burned zama isnt that great. it would also be better to get rid of raging bolt as it could threaten zamazenta to kill it off with thunderclap surviving a hit. also avoid switching it in many times as it has very passiv recovery predict a substitue at the right moments avoid sending it to speed iron treads as knock off really makes it so it can worn out and avoid whirlwinders like ting lu make sure you ruing them first. and also skarmory with trick. haze toxapex isnt common but it could cause issues so its better to get rid of it too with trick or banded pults attacks
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Dragon Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Toxapex: 176-208 (57.8 - 68.4%) -- approx. 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
overall zamazenta was a win condition you could use after destroying the opponents defensive core with tricks.
6}dragapault
lastly dragapult with choice band.
Draco (Dragapult) @ Choice Band
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Darts
- Phantom Force
- Double-Edge
- U-turn
yes banded was better here because it allowed it to kill unaware mons.
and also you could freely switch in and out beacuse ddance is easily walled by kinggambit.
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Dragon Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 248 HP / 8 Def Clodsire: 464-548 (100.2 - 118.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Dragon Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo: 204-244 (40.4 - 48.4%) -- approx. 3HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Dragon Dragapult Dragon Darts (2 hits) vs. 248 HP / 0 Def Skeledirge: 312-368 (75.9 - 89.5%) -- approx. 2HKO
and kills volcarona in one hit since volcarona usually has no moves to super effctively hit it.
additionally double edge does a plentful damage to fairy resists and alolan ninetiles,however you can run tera poison tera blast here in place as welll to kill off tera fairy skeledrige { yes it one shots that unaware mon} or any other annoying tera fairy.
like tera fairy raging bolt
phantom force with band does surprising plenty damage do test it out.
you can also run choice specs dragapault here to draco meteor spam and kill archaludon. but its suggested you run banded with tera poison instead to really kill off the fairy resists. on stall teams.
ddance dragapault is also an option carry terra fire and you could use it to threaten against teams cuz once dragapualt gets a dance off it is the fastest mon second to only scarf deo-s.
team synergy works really well with these 6 mons. here are some replys. I will keep it short to 3
starting off
1}https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2029363740
Against a sand team this one shows dragapaults banded power when there are no resists. but also more importantly even if dragapault died to something there I had killed off chansey to comfey range and comfey could 1v5 them all alone too. You could test with your friends
2}https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen9ou-2028586457-67i4vuy0yn9wdbjxnr3d690ooomdhadpw
the second one is against a bulkier pivot team a 1671 rated player. you could really see how you can break the defensive checks in this one to let your sweeper zamazenta go at it.
now my opponent played well but it was too late with zama's checks all scarfed and tricked there was nothing they could do.
therefore you always wanna target those.
3}https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ou-2029956800-tgag4f8nkcpayidmdj3rchh0b47xgyopw
and lastly against a rain team as you had want to see. in this one however it didnt really get to shine that much but you could play similarly and have a good time against rain teams with it.
Now i am aware that if they know whats coming they might be able to play around it. but so can you. you could change the team or the items And surprise kill them. for example simply switching the team around so the tera fire is now meowscarada can completely throw them off plus which mon is holding scarf can always be altered. you could run life orbed deoxys bluffing to scarf and kill the resulting mon thought to ruin it.
test it out for yourself! have fun thx for reading and I will see you next time. Originxpulse. ladder 1707.

Now i am aware that if they know whats coming they might be able to play around it. but so can you. you could change the team or the items And surprise kill them. for example simply switching the team around so the tera fire is now meowscarada can completely throw them off plus which mon is holding scarf can always be altered. you could run life orbed deoxys bluffing to scarf and kill the resulting mon thought to ruin it.
test it out for yourself! have fun thx for reading and I will see you next time. Originxpulse. ladder 1707.
