I'm back with another National Dex team. This one is focused on simply using Hail/snow (Hail yeah!) and aurora veil make my mons bulky asf. It also has offense too, so a mixed set, with bulky mons and offensive mons
Fireman Sam (Arctovish) @ Life Orb
Ability: Slush Rush
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Fishious Rend
- Iron Head
- Psychic Fangs
- Aurora Veil
Arctovish is such a weird mon. It's just like Dracovish, but Dracovish is in uber? It's probs bcuz sand rush is hella easier to use then slush rush, idk why Dracovish is an uber Mon. But this thing hits hard. It will outspeed and OHKO just about anything it sees when snow is active by using 170 power fishious rends w/life orb boosts. It will use aurora veil to live hits well, with it's subpar defenses. It has coverage in iron head and psychic fangs against fighting and rock types. The only thing that puts this down is it's vulnerable to sun and only really works when snow is up.
Tera usage
Tera should be used when you need to guarantee a KO. nothing else to say fr
Main Strats
Once snows up, start smacking your enemy. When snow goes down, switch out so you can set it up again. He's here to KO mons, what else is there to say?
Dark Sonic (Weavile) (M) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Pickpocket
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe / 4 def
Jolly Nature
- Snowscape
- Fake Out
- Poison Jab
- Knock Off
This Mon works a little different then Arctovish. It does KO, but only when it needs to. It does have a niche of being dark type, so switch in's onto psychic types are easy asf. It also carries fake out and Snowscape, two very nice utility moves. Poison jab and knock off slam psychic and fairies into the ground. the Sash let's it live a hit despite it's low defense, tho I could put an offensive item there to boost Atk.
Tera Usage
Same as Arctovish
Main strats
It's supposed to be a game changer. I think? It's turned games around for me. At the end, Weavile switches in from a KO, and starts ripping things to pieces. Before everything rips it first. Though it could also be early bcuz of fake out and Snowscape, making unstoppable snow. It can also stop plays with this combo from Megazard Y by placing up snow.
kill me (Cursola) (F) @ Leftovers
Ability: Perish Body
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpD / 8 SpA
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Giga Drain
- Stealth Rock
- Protect
- Haze
My BEEG boy. Using this Mon made me realise how fun it is to use big burly tanks. It makes you feel unstoppable, like nothing can kill you. But yourself. With the right setup this mon can be dangerous w/stealth rock and giga drain, plus the
Tera Usage
Defense against dark types.
Main strats
Just stand there menacingly and start chipping away at your opponent. Keep them from killing you with giga drain Leftovers and take them out with stealth rock giga drain. Protect when needed, and haze to stop silly sweepers. Excellent early-mid game mon.
Rimestyle (Mr. Rime) (M) @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Ice Body
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Toxic
- Blizzard
- Healing Wish
- Signal Beam
What is going every. I am going to heal you by dieing. This Mon was so hard to think of a build for, because of the strange place it take on this team. It has no blocks or cover, so it can be a freelancer. Why not healing wish support? It deals damage too, and lives with Berry + ice body. Leftovers could defo go there but I didn't wanna repeat items, even though I could.
Tera usage
Don't Tera this mon. He's not good enough offensively to use it.
Main strats
I hardly ever use him, but I suppose heal wish low walls like Cursola or Megasnow. Other than that, blast everything away, toxic to set up for someone else after dieing. It doesn't get too far tho.
4x weak to rock (Articuno) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Pressure
Hidden Power: Fighting
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Snowscape
- Aurora Veil
- Air Slash
- Toxic
He is very weak to rock. Watch for Arcanines. Other than that, you have HDB to fight against hazards, the Snowscape aurora veil duo bcuz ofc, air Slash and toxic for damage. When some hitters are down, this could do a favour.
Tera usage
To resist rock
Main strats
When snow is down, switch him in and get it back up again. Then try slashing and toxicing if you can. It's simple really.
Giga tons (Abomasnow-Mega) (M) @ Abomasite
Ability: Snow Warning
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Blizzard
- Aurora Veil
- Toxic
- Energy Ball
Imagine Frosty the Snowman with a GLOCK. That's what this mon feels like. He tanks hits so well even w/o aurora veil, that's just more bulk. Then the damage he does is good too. Blizzards being run everywhere. Toxic chipping you down. This mon kills before it dies, every single time
Tera usage
You can't Tera megas
Main strats
Start off by aurora veiling, then just smash into them as hard as you can. When snow is down, switch out for another run next time. Or switch out on a bad matchup. This mon will through just about any starting battle you have, leaving you at an edge right from the gate.
