Perhaps we can make slowbro galarian the standard QCQD set, as it's HO, and we don't need special bulk as much


Slowbro-Galar @ Quick Claw
Ability: Quick Draw
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpA
Modest Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Psyshock
- Fire Blast
- Ice Beam

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If we make it for the April meta, perhaps we can do this instead:

Over Toxtricity:

Thundurus-Therian @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Focus Blast

Over Celesteela:

Scizor @ Life Orb
Ability: Technician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Dual Wingbeat

Basically we have Thundurus to abuse Hippowdon instead of Celesteela because we want to fit Scizor as another steel type. Thundurus may be more effective now with Hippo, as Hippo generally has a slightly better MU vs Toxtricity.
 
I think it really depends on how much we want to change things. As others have expressed, the team currently doesn't synergize as well as it could for a hyper offense team, the main culprit being Glowbro. I'm with pif in that a QCQD set (blehhhhh) would be the best way to remedy this without changing the Pokemon itself.

Thanks once again for a great cycle!

Final team:


For the beginning of the next cycle, you will be submitting two Pokemon!

4 days to submit your core for the week!
 
Scizor @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 96 Def / 144 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Roost

New pokemon new team... this pokemon is a great pokemon who can support the team and can provide a lot of utility with its bulk, knock and u-turn. Plus we have never built with this set in mind as well and it would be interesting to how people build around it

Hydreigon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Dark Pulse
- Draco Meteor
- U-turn
- Fire Blast

Scarf hydreigon can fit with scizor as scizor can pressure many fairy types with knock and BP while steels dislike switching into knock +u-turn. This also is a set that we haven't build around and it would be interesting to how it fits on teams. Scarf drei is a great cleaner and can pivot in many dangerous pokemon on a team to give scizor opportunities to make holes and wear down the opponent
 
:ss/hippowdon:
Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 8 Atk / 248 SpD
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
- Stealth Rock
- Toxic

+

:ss/skarmory:
Skarmory @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 HP / 160 Def / 96 Spe
Impish Nature
- Body Press / Brave Bird
- Spikes
- Roost
- Whirlwind

haha funny hazard stack goes brrrr

In all seriousness, I think we need to show a little bit of love to the more overlooked of our two new drops. Hippowdon is a very promising new defensive wall and Stealth Rock setter, and Skarmory is one of its best partners right off the bat, as their typings allow them to cover each other's major weaknesses, with the added bonus of Skamory not getting chipped down by Sand Stream.

:ss/scizor:
Scizor @ Life Orb
Level: 100
Adamant Nature
Ability: Technician
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
- Swords Dance
- Bullet Punch
- Knock Off
- Superpower
I honestly favour HydreigonTheChild's suggestion but a couple of changes to the set in order to provide some more firepower to the team. +2 LO superpower 0hkos Celesteela and brings down an offensive moltres to 43% with a non boosted LO Knock off forcing it roost and lose its hdb on the switch in. Superpower can also help with dealing with bulky matchups like Skarmory, while sd in general helps with lategame sweeping once the opposing team has been chipped down considerably.
:ss/moltres:
Moltres @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 HP / 120 Def / 136 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower/Mystical Fire
- Roost
- Defog
- Hurricane
I'm suggesting Moltres to have our own scizor counter and also a great answer to conk and to revenge kill the former or rather the current king of UU Aegislash.

I really dislike Scarf Hydreigon, C is really weird to put a HO Scizor + fat Moltres but sure I can uh try to build with it why not
 
B > C

Hippo + skarm was an OU ore at one point... sounds worth to give it a try down here to... see what could be made of it. Hazard stack sounds fun to an extent to build around
 
:bw/Reuniclus: @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 104 Def / 152 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Recover
- Focus Blast

Abuses spikes even more to abuse magic guard LO with spikes down is very threatening and it is able to just threaten many pokemon with a lot of damage and setup on them. With magic guard it is able to setup on a lot of pokemon and in Sand + hazards down it makes it very difficult to handle without losing a ton of health on a pokemon and it has to come in on a gamble esp with hazards wearing it down or the sand . Reuniclus I believe is very good for these types of teams since LO magic guard is very powerful

Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Pain Split
- Will-O-Wisp

Washer does a great job keeping momentum on these types of teams while also having good defensive utility. This could be changed for a Choice Scarf set later if needed.

Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Liquidation
- Play Rough
- Aqua Jet
- Ice Punch

CB Azumarill really appreciates Hippowdon and Skarmory's hazard stacking capabilities, making it easier for it to break through more physically defensive foes like Tangrowth, Amoonguss, and Skarmory. It also appreciates Hippowdon providing an Electric immunity and Skarmory walling Zarude for it, while Hippowdon and Skarmory appreciate Azu's ability to revenge kill threats like Mamoswine and Moltres.
