Easily my favorite team I've built during NDPL, I wanted to try my hand at something with "Blud" (affectionately nicknamed by
Kayzn) and this was my result. Alomomola is disgustingly good, easily A tier or higher in my opinion, controls the momentum so well for balanced teams such as these. Mega Tyranitar was an obvious choice to complement Alomomola's wishpassing abilities while crucially threatening to trap Gholdengo, Mega Charizard Y, and Heatran, the latter 2 being great for my own Gholdengo. Zapdos is one of the best mons asw I believe, not much to say besides it being the greatest glue to ever glue. Kartana was my speed control of choice, I like how it matches up into many of the offensive teams rn and can synergize very well with mttar. Specs Ghold has been the star of this team, an absolute nuke that is probably one of the most underrated mons there is rn, will detail more abt it later.
An offense team featuring mmedi + hsam, a very simple but effective core. Sd HSam might be the single best progress forcer in the tier rn, scarf Gholdengo gives pseudo speed control while offering a useful defensive presence vs Sneasler, Iron Valiant, and Lele. Volcarona was a nice wincon who offers a good moonblast resist for the mmedi + hsam core, tera water being one of the more underrated sets on it rn imo. Zapdos and Garchomp round out the defensive core, with Mada mentioning this Garchomp set earlier, and I firmly believe in it, stellar set
Probably my only rendition of a "fat" team throughout this whole tournament, centered around mola + mttar with the rest being mostly filled out standard. Molt provides a nice mu into Giga volc and mlop, Skarmory is Skarmory, sd glisc is broken, scarf lele speed control of choice. Was pretty effective whenever I used it but fat isnt in a great situation with them Ogers runnin around...stay safe.
This is my attempt at a Yard/Mola team, its a very interesting core that has been quite effective for me. This is very similar to
Kyo 's sun with a Gastrodon instead, so credit to him.
Huge shoutout to
peap for editing an intial skeleton of this, this is pretty much his team but figured id drop it here cause of how damn good it is.
Random team I built to play vs Kayzn in EPL, tera ghost garg is crazy good and the rest is relatively normal. Lele + Weav is an effective offensive core while msciz can sometimes lure Ghold for Lele, also checks BROKEN BAXCALIBUR!!!
Tang + Glowking + Molt is one of stupidest yet weirdly effective defensive cores ive ever used, Val/Weav is a solid offensive core to accompany. I wanted a rocker who wouldnt be too passive and could offer additional breaking, so I opted for a Fly Z LandoT which has put in a lot of work. S/o to the Sneasler users who try to tera fly in front of it
eterrain offense with mmedi/hsam, same points from earlier team still stand. Team is pretty weak to opposing hstacks and quite unoptimized but the concept has been effective so far, someone better than me should explore this
kinda troll ho, cloyster was my option as a lead to anti-lead the grounds ppl love to lead into screens koko to force a 50/50 between rocks or eq. I value its offensive presence asw, being able to chip Ferro/Tran for jirachi endgame while getting spikes up on anything else.
Z-Zap is still very effective, same with its old partner Weavile. Rest of the team is pretty standard stuff, although if i were to remodel id like a more pivot focused team to get Zapdos into position easier
man I will talk about this Zapdos set in more detail below lmfaooo, actually hilarious and farms so much running around rn. rest of team is pretty normal stuff with gknot glowking for garg antics and weav for stray clod/bliss. Chillionaire is the greatest nickname oat...
Mmedi balance with zapdos works very well, can easily clean up largely paralyzed and battered teams. Have I mentioned how good Weav is? Weav is good!!!
Team from NDWC remodeled with garg > gambit, fire punch mmedi can lure ghold for an easy lele win. Still one of my favorite teams! Mmedi is still pretty sick in the head, v good mon. You could definitely take a more offensive approach on this, maybe with a Sneasler to further benefit from a lured Ghold
maybe ill make that now.
This team sucks vs lele and no i wont do anything to fix it
Chilly Reception + Weather Ball TornT is a cool lure for potential Zapdos to clear the way for MLop or TornT itself, would recommend
i probably couldnt tell you what I was thinking when i built this either, jolly mmaw is cool and should be the standard prolly
This is like my only team with av pex guy, cool mon. Rockium Tusk + Kart is a very interesting core for luring birds, but you need good infrastructure vs LandoT, could do Ice Spinner > CC ig.
My SECOND favorite build during ndpl, pure sun will forever be one of the most enjoyable playstyles (not cringe Yard semi sun) and this reinforces my theorem. One of my favorite teams to use easily
Fatter balance team similar to the mmedi one, just with Skarmory/MLop instead.
I love scarf tini!!!! Tera fire vcreate!!! Av tang nice pick too...ig
random offense lgrhkierhkierpellbl
Hey this still works I think
Shoutout to shelbert man. IYKYK
seth
