Project SV OU - Lure That Threat Week 39 - Gliscor - Voting!

[SetsuSetsuna]

Congratulations to and Eeveeto for winning this week of Lure That Threat, the set has been added to the Hall of Fame.

BT89 will be the host of the project moving forward, he has a fair bit of experience since he hosted it in Gen 8 too. Thank you to everyone who participated these first 10 weeks, I hope you continue to do so as Gen 9 moves forward.

 

[BT89]

yo! thank you setsu for hosting those first 10 weeks, lets start out with a BANG

Week 11 - Tera Ground Volcarona

Volcarona @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Quiver Dance
- Flamethrower
- Bug Buzz
- Tera Blast

Volcarona is by far one of the most potent set-up sweepers in the tier. Volcarona's great defensive typing gives it many opportunities to set up and start breaking through opposing teams. However, Volcarona's Tera Type is extremely versatile. Tera Ground is one of the most common Tera types on Offensive Volcarona, as it grants Volcarona coverage against Pokemon that would otherwise successfully check it such as Skeledirge, Tera Fire Kingambit, and Clodsire. How might you lure such a behemoth of an offensive Pokemon?

Submissions end on March 3rd!
Please remain civilized in the thread. Try your best to avoid unnecessary comments / one-liners / etc. ​

 

[Eeveeto]

Didn't expect to be able to use this again so soon.

Glaceon (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Ice Body
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Freeze-Dry
- Shadow Ball
- Tera Blast

Unlike for Kingambit, Glaceon only gets one option, the Iron Bundle STABs one, to lure Volcarona, but since this is Glaceon, Tera Water is still not expected and the moth gets washed away on switch-in, GG.

Hydreigon @ Choice Band
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Crunch
- Head Smash/Rock Slide
- U-turn
- Zen Headbutt
Here we are again...Physically oriented Dreigon.

Teeny tiny useless drama

U turn on scarf gholdengo:Im not fast
Yo then lets get some dance!
Rock Slide
Ragequit
Here i am again!This time its gonna be buzzed off!
Terastalize Fire, Head smash
Rip

Volcarona shall never ever use its tera on this hovering mon as well as it has weakness to the bug type.However, even without beat up,Hydreigon can still be a threat due to the stereotype of 'Bug weakness', which is likely to let Volcarona do a dance and being KOed by rock.Tera fire not only removes its bug weakness, but also prevents flame body crippling the dragon.

Calcs

252 Atk Choice Band Tera Fire Hydreigon Crunch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 240-283 (77.1 - 90.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Volcarona Tera Blast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera Fire Hydreigon: 98-116 (30.1 - 35.6%) -- 34.2% chance to 3HKO

252 SpA Volcarona Bug Buzz vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera Fire Hydreigon: 82-97 (25.2 - 29.8%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Fire Hydreigon Rock Slide vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: No need to calc while Crunch deals 90%DMG -- guaranteed OHKO

Meowscarada @
Ability: Protean
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Knock Off
- Flower Trick
- U-turn
- Acrobatics

252 Atk Protean Meowscarada Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 456-536 (146.6 - 172.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Usually meowscarada is free setup or a free switch in for volcarona esp on a flower trick, but with itemless acrobatics you can easily lure it in and KO it.

Scizor
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 80 HP / 148 Atk / 144 SpD / 136 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Trailblaze
- Acrobatics
- U-turn / Close Combat
- Bullet Punch

Hell nah bruh. A Scizor luring a Volcarona? Say it aint so.

No, my opponent has not tera'd their Volcarona

148 Atk Tera Acrobatics (110 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 316-374 (101.6 - 120.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Yes, my opponent has tera'd their Volcarona

148 Atk Technician Scizor Trailblaze vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ground Volcarona: 216-256 (69.4 - 82.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
148 Atk Technician Scizor Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ground Volcarona: 130-154 (41.8 - 49.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

EV's are designed such that after trailblaze, you always outspeed Volcarona (unless it QD'd in front of you); in which case, the Attack EV's always guarantee a KO from bullet punch. The rest in dumped into SpDef and HP, prioritizing Spdef. Fire Tera means you resist fiery dance or flamethrower, but more importantly means you can't be burned by flame body.

Calcs vs Tera Fire Scizor

252 SpA Volcarona Tera Blast vs. 80 HP / 144 SpD Tera Fire Scizor: 91-108 (30.2 - 35.8%) -- 39.9% chance to 3HKO
252 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 80 HP / 144 SpD Tera Fire Scizor: 77-91 (25.5 - 30.2%) -- guaranteed 4HKO

TL;DR: If they have haven't tera'd, you Tera, live, and OHKO. If they have, you Tera, get +1 with trailblaze, and then either outspeed and kill OR kill with BP.

Bronzong @ Light Clay
Ability: Heatproof
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Rock Blast
- Reflect
- Light Screen
- Gyro Ball

Bronzong is a solid defensive pokemon, and always has been. Even in OU, where it's considered a mediocre option, any player that has faced one in the past knows how frustrating a Bronzong is to take down. That said, a traditional Bronzong is absolutely nothing in the face of any setup sweeper. Especially Volcarona. Gyro Ball is resisted, so even at +6 it'll do limited damage.
0+ Atk Bronzong Gyro Ball (150 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 114-135 (36.6 - 43.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
The only other move run on Bronzong that could even slightly threaten Volcarona is the resisted Body Press, which also will hardly harm it.

In return, Volcarona sets up Quiver Dances for free. The best thing Bronzong can do is Light Screen and then swap to an ally. Volcarona will have nullified the Light Screen, being at +2 Spa, and now outruns the enemy team and tanks special hits all day. Bronzong has set the team up for faliure. Any smart player would see the opportunity as a wincon and take it.

Which is where this very anti-meta Bronzong comes in. Lets start by addressing the choice of ability. Heatproof over Levitate. The confusion is exactly what we want. Bronzong's Levitate is the most iconic part about it. Knowing this, how often have you pressed a ground type move against Bronzong? The answer should be roughly never. We never assume that any Bronzong isn't running levitate. So lets use that to our advantage. Heatproof will guarantee that Bronzong comfortably lives a Flamethrower from Volcarona. Meanwhile it won't need Levitate because no one will use ground moves on it anyway.

252 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Heatproof Bronzong: 110-132 (32.5 - 39%) -- 98.6% chance to 3HKO
Even at +2 and no Light Screen, Bronzong lives.

In return, a 3-hit Rock Blast will OHKO.
0+ Atk Bronzong Rock Blast (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 312-372 (100.3 - 119.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

I'm now going to go through the possible scenarios to highlight how often this will work.

Scenario A:
The enemy brings in Volcarona on Bronzong as it probably uses Light Screen. Expecting it to swap, they press Quiver Dance. Rock Blast OHKOs. Bronzong wins.

Scenario B:
Identical to scenario A, except Volcarona presses Flamethrower, doing less than half to Bronzong, and dying in return.

Scenario C:
Volcarona presses Quiver Dance as Bronzong uses Rock Blast. Bronzong gets only 2 hits, leaving Volcarona with a maximum of 33.2% health.

0+ Atk Bronzong Rock Blast (2 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 208-248 (66.8 - 79.7%) -- approx. 2HKO

Most Volcarona will respond by pressing Flamethrower, expecting to kill and falling short, before dying to the second rock blast.
+1 252 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Heatproof Bronzong: 164-194 (48.5 - 57.3%) -- 93.4% chance to 2HKO

Alternatively, a safe player may (Quite unreasonably if you ask me) Tera Ground in order to guarantee they survive a rock blast (As if they wouldn't normally kill). Because of this, and the fact that Volcarona is at +1 speed, the right move is Gyro Ball, which kills even if they don't Tera and doesn't risk a miss.
0+ Atk Bronzong Gyro Ball (136 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Volcarona: 103-122 (33.1 - 39.2%) -- 100% chance to 3HKO (Okay admittedly if you get two min rolls in a row this won't kill but still)

Scenario D:
This scenario only comes into play if the Volcarona knows you are a Heatproof Bronzong. They immediately Tera Ground and Tera Blast.
252 SpA Tera Ground Volcarona Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Bronzong: 192-228 (56.8 - 67.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
0+ Atk Bronzong Rock Blast (3 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ground Volcarona: 39-45 (12.5 - 14.4%) -- approx. possible 7HKO
0+ Atk Bronzong Gyro Ball (136 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ground Volcarona: 207-244 (66.5 - 78.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

This is why, to be safe, you want a Light Screen up as the Volcarona swaps in. That way you can still beat it in 3 turns.
252 SpA Tera Ground Volcarona Tera Blast vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Bronzong through Light Screen: 96-114 (28.4 - 33.7%) -- 0.2% chance to 3HKO

However, I believe this is an unrealistic scenario, for the enemy to know the purpose of the gimmick immediately. Considering we still mostly win, I'd call this a 4th success.

TLDR:

Rock Blast kills and we tank any hit

Torkoal @ Assault Vest
Ability: Drought
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ancient Power
- Solar Beam
- Clear Smog
- Lava Plume

Step 1:
If sun is active it means volc has an easier time, so you smack it with Ancient Power, if he has tera already, then go solar beam, and Clear smog is always good when dealing with boosting mons

4 SpA Torkoal Ancient Power vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Volcarona: 148-176 (47.5 - 56.5%) -- 82.8% chance to 2HKO
4 SpA Torkoal Solar Beam vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera Ground Volcarona: 146-172 (46.9 - 55.3%) -- 66.4% chance to 2HKO


+1 252 SpA Tera Ground Volcarona Bug Buzz vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Tera Water Torkoal: 136-162 (39.5 - 47%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

A bit convoluted but it works

 

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

Orthworm @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Earth Eater
EVs: 252 HP/12 Atk/140 SpD/104 Spe
Jolly Nature
Tera-Type: Fire
- Heavy Slam
- Rock Blast
- Tera Blast
- Coil

Normally, Orthworm only ever runs 2 attacks; Heavy Slam for STAB, and Body Press to make use of its only really good stat in its Defense. Incidentally, Volcarona resists both of those, and has Flame Body to potentially make the Orthworm player feel really stupid for trying to attack with Orthworm. It cleanly kills with Flamethower to put it out of its misery...

...

...or does it? Of course, instead of the standard Shed Tail set which Cyclizar is way better at pulling off, I present to you Coil Orthworm. 104 Speed EVs and a Jolly nature let it outspeed uninvested Great Tusk. The 12 Attack EVs cover for the immediate Tera-Ground play on Volc's part, as Heavy Slam finishes it off from after it took the hit from +1 4 hit Rock Blast that'd otherwise destroy it.

+1 12 Atk Tera Fire Orthworm Rock Blast (4 hits) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ground Volcarona: 68-80 (21.8 - 25.7%) -- approx. 0.5% chance to 4HKO
+1 12 Atk Tera Fire Orthworm Heavy Slam (120 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Ground Volcarona: 244-288 (78.4 - 92.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

The rest are put into HP first and then Special Defense. Between Tera-Fire and Earth Eater, Orthworm shuts Volc's offensive pressure down entirely, barely giving it the slightest chance for a 3HKO, and affording it the ability to even let Volc get to +3 before needing to deal with it in case you'd rather dick around with it and Coil alongside it.

252 SpA Tera Ground Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Tera Fire Orthworm: 99-117 (28.7 - 34%) -- 1.1% chance to 3HKO
+4 252 SpA Tera Ground Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 140 SpD Tera Fire Orthworm: 295-348 (85.7 - 101.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO

Tera-Fire also grants a burn immunity for Orthworm, which is always handy for a physical attacker, and lets it use Tera Blast against Corviknight and opposing Orthworm, which EQ doesn't even hit.

Granted (Corviknight) @ Choice Band
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Water

Careful Nature
- Brave Bird
- U-turn
- Body Press

Tera water allow corv to survive QD boosted flamethrower, and even a giga drain after that (if it had that on the first place)
Band is used to straight up ohko non-tera volcarona
it still 2hko tera ground used volcarona, so it worked well
do note that occasionally volcarona use willowisp so be aware
Spd /hp max investment is for it to survive flamethrower without tera after a QD (though can be killed by fire blast) just to be slightly more safe
usually corv is a great entry for volcarona so it can actually works
Calcs:
+1 0 SpA Volcarona Flamethrower vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Corviknight: 302-356 (75.5 - 89%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock (not killed without sr)
+1 0 SpA Volcarona Giga Drain vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Tera Water Corviknight: 170-200 (42.5 - 50%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO

I mean, it is a lure... But it's a set that will do literal 0 vs the rest of the meta. I personally suggest doing a BU + Roost, it's actually viable vs things that are not Volcarona.

Ability: Good as Gold
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Power Gem
- Focus Blast / Tera Blast
- Make It Rain
- Shadow Ball


Got the idea about this set while playing 2v2 doubles and being tired of chi-yu. If Volca is already Tera Ground , Make it Rain is a guranteed 2hko
Volcarona doesn't really fear Gholdengo since it can OHKO it with Flamethrower . Power Gem gurantees a OHKO and Tera Water Tera blast is also a 2hko on Volc . You are scarfed so you always outspeed unless knocked off or tricked.

252 SpA Gholdengo Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Volcarona: 340-404 (109.3 - 129.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 SpA Tera Dragon Gholdengo Make It Rain vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera Ground Volcarona: 192-226 (61.7 - 72.6%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Tera clodsire

Clodsire @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Recover

That's it no big fanfare or anything really special about what it does just click the funny button and go back to thrashing the shit out of volc as god intended you to.

This one is not a lure, Volcarona will never switch into a Mon that commonly runs Toxic. If anything, this is a Volcarona counter that will be the one switching in, but that's not for this thread.

Glimmora @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Toxic Debris
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Power Gem / Dazzling Gleam
- Energy Ball
- Earth Power / Dazzling Gleam
- Sludge Wave / Dazzling Gleam

Usually you expect a focus sash set with earth power, maybe spin, stealth rocks and spikes or sludge wave, which doesnt hit volc hard. So obviously STAB 4x effective 130 Base SpA 252 SpA IV‘s is a OHKO. 252 SpA Glimmora Power Gem vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Volcarona: 504-592 (162 - 190.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO. If it uses tera blast I tera too.
252 SpA Tera Ground Volcarona Tera Blast vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Tera Grass Glimmora: 80-95 (26 - 30.9%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252 SpA Tera Grass Glimmora Energy Ball vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Tera Ground Volcarona: 282-332 (90.6 - 106.7%) -- 43.8% chance to OHKO
I started to use this set to counter Great Tusk and Rotom-Wash because they thought they could get free damage. But Tera Grass Energy Ball always hits hard and they dont protect because they dont want me to get free rocks. Dazzling Gleam is for Hydreigon and Moon, Sludge Wave for huge STAB damage just like power gem and earth power for glim and an always hitter. Sadly Tera Grass VS Tera Ground Volc doesn’t OHKO but you get huge damage + it can‘t heal and you should always have priority in the back but because ot doesnt quiver Glimmora still outspeeds and kills after both used tera and Glimm just lost 26-31% of the HP VS a danger sweeper.
