OP adapted from Baloor who stole it from GMars

Welcome to the Scarlet & Violet CAP Bazaar! This thread is for a more casual team-sharing environment than the RMT subforum or official Sample Team submissions. Here are the guidelines:

1. Make sure you've playtested your teams if you're sharing them and looking for advice.
2. Provide an importable for your team and a brief description.

That's it! Here's an example post from a much older iteration of this thread:

Yo, this is not my team at all, its something that I just think we as a meta have settled upon due to its sheer power. But here's standard.exe:

Very simple team to play; you got 1000 ways to grab momentum with Zera and Slowking, Delayed move spam can guarantee a KO every time you get Shifu in, and standard as hell King/Libra/Tomo defensive core means you're generally pretty prepped vs the meta.

Old Team

Sun Hyper Offense


this team right here got me in the 1408.


Sweeper-stoppper, and counter sweeper. It stops substitute, it stops anything even thinking of boosting its stats, and it burns anything that tries to switch in. It is crazy good. Stops rapid spin, too.

252 Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo: 262-310 (51.9 - 61.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Toxapex: 248-292 (81.5 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Outrage vs. 252 HP / 40 Def Arghonaut: 400-472 (96.6 - 114%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
NOTHING switches into this thing. Countering it relies on predictability. While being stuck in outrage can suck, if the opponent doesnt have a resist then it doesn't matter.

what DOESNT tusk do? It's already mandatory on all teams, and is already great normally. Give it a sun boost and it becomes scarier than normal. Head Smash is for those pesky flying types.

The fastest unboosted pokemon in the metagame short of Dragapult. It tosses out rocks when anything that doesnt like it is in, and fire boosted flamethrower is good for any grass types.

a bit of a niche pick, but it both sets sun and almost guarantees safety for any allies. Synthesis heals 75%, plus glare paralyzes mons like Snaelstrom. While its typing is..bad, it makes up greatly with the power of the SUN.

Ah yes. Dinosaur suicune. It has water coverage that this team desperately needs. Draco Meteor for anything that resists or is immune to water. Tera fairy for OTHER dragons when its running low on options!

Nevermind that, since Wake was banned and it was the glue of the team, I needed to change a lotta things. thankfully, this next team is as good as that, and better in some ways!

252 Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Outrage vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dondozo: 262-310 (51.9 - 61.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 192+ Def Toxapex: 248-292 (81.5 - 96%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
252 Atk Choice Band Protosynthesis Roaring Moon Outrage vs. 252 HP / 40 Def Arghonaut: 400-472 (96.6 - 114%) -- 81.3% chance to OHKO
NOTHING switches into this thing. Countering it relies on predictability. While being stuck in outrage can suck, if the opponent doesnt have a resist then it doesn't matter. Now with U-Turn for momentum!

Tosses out rocks, removes rocks, and crushes threats with earthquake. Sun makes it a physical beast, removing your item, hazards, and 'mon.

Meteor Beam. Punches a huge hole in enemy teams, then mows down everything short of argh, which even then has issues switching into it!

a bit of a niche pick, but it both sets sun and almost guarantees safety for any allies. Synthesis heals 75%, plus glare paralyzes mons like Snaelstrom. While its typing is...bad, it makes up greatly with the power of the SUN. Grav apple deals nice amounts of damage to any arghs that swap in.

Sun boosted overheat basically makes this thing Chi-yu at home. Sludge wave deals great damage to mons resistant to overheat like arghonaut (i really hate that octopus), and other bulky tanks. Solar Beam one-shots tusk, plus fiery dance can snowball really quickly.

i hate toxapex but god damn is it good. send it in to poison and eject button out, allowing something like Moon to be sent in without a sweat. Also does general toxapex things.

Astrolotl does its thing of scouting and support, in the form of burns, defense drops, and spike setting.
Snaelstrom is a bulky swords dance sweeper, with facade to abuse toxic orb+poison heal.
Meowscarada with choice band removes pokemon it hits supereffectively's life priviledges.
Kitsunoh is our defoger
Krillowatt is a bulky special attacker
Hisuian Zoroark Is A Specs abuser

We forgot to put one of these up, whoops.

A moderator will edit the OP into something better once I'm not sick anymore.

A little Colossoil BO I cooked up the other day.

Colossoil is a really funny Pokemon that can come in on Unawares like Dirge and Clod and immediately threaten them with huge damage every time he comes in, benefiting setup sweepers like Volcarona. Being immune to burn in the current metagame is a distinction that it only shares with Bax, and being able to throw around Guts-boosted Tera Normal Facades is a treat.

Tomo was added to supply SR, longevity, a source of passive damage, and a pivot that could come in on Meow, Moon, Tusk, Argh, and Cindy and double out to Col as Ghold and Libra switch in. Body Press and max Defense lets you check Kingambit most effectively and also lets Tomo function as a panic button against Bax.

Volc gives the team a strong win-con and a check to Val, Ghold, and Bao. Tera Fairy and Tera Blast means we completely flip our matchup into Dragons like Bax, Pult, Moon, and Chomp, and also lets her check the former more consistently.

Washtom provides a switch-in to Iron Moth, Volc, Gren, Dirge, and Kril. Washtom also keeps momentum for the team with Volt Switch, with said Volt Switch also dealing noteworthy damage to Argh, Snael, Venom, Tomo, and Corv in the process.

Pult provides excellent speed control, strong Shadow Balls and Draco Meteors, and a source of pivoting via U-turn that takes baits Libra, Garg, and Kingambit for Col to take advantage of. Draco also OHKOs Tusk and deals heavy damage to Tomo and Venom, opening holes for Col to exploit.

Garg rounds out the team by supplying a check to the books, and extra check to the Moths, Pult, Dirge, and setup Pokemon like Moon and DNite. Curse and Tera Fairy can also flip the script against Tusk and Val, wearing down two of Col's best checks.

Miasmaw clicks scale shot after a swords dance to hit with a 100-120 base power focus sash/sturdy breaking dragon STAB, Earthquake, which can be swapped with fire fang to hit orthworm, to hit most steels, and gunk shot for fairy types.
Dragon Dance Pyroak is pretty good and has Flare blitz for STAB, Wild Charge For Hitting Water types, earthquake for good neutral coverage
Kitsunoh is a bulky support pokemon with will-o-wisp, wish, defog, and u-turn.
Plasmanta absorbs water moves and fires off its powerful STAb combo of Electric And Poison, with surf and aura sphere for coverage.
Great tusk is great tusk, enough said.
Venomicon gives a good defensive backbone to my team

Some Dark spam I made a few days ago, gameplan is to stack your hazards and get rid of Fairy-types with Gholdengo and mess with Fighting-types with Venomicon for Voodoom and Chien-Pao to click their buttons. You have a solid defensive core in the back in Saharaja + Magearna + Venomicon to handle a lot of the meta at the moment. The Sun matchup is questionable, but you'll have to try your best to outplay.


Gameplan for this build is to Future Sight with Slowking and go into your strong breaker in Zamazenta or Caribolt, with Great Tusk + Magearna + Venomicon as a defensive backbone.

I've liked these two teams a lot and they could potentially be sample submissions, though Magearna will probably be packed by the end of this week.
