Hey
SergioRules I do like it! I hope
you like the build I made :]
Sudowoodo @ Chople Berry
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Head Smash
- Sucker Punch
- Wood Hammer
- Fire Punch
My first thought was a Choice Band set using the fact that it can hit Mudsdale harder than it's biggest competition, Aggron. During testing however it was just getting revenge killed or just straight up outsped by the likes of Primeape, Stoutland, Hitmonchan, even Absol. Chople allows you to lure and kill them all, and being able to switch up moves allows you to break cores like Ferroclef a bit easier by not having to rely on predictions. You can always just use Choice Band and spam that Head Smash, feel free to change it however you would like!
Silvally-Fairy @ Fairy Memory
Ability: RKS System
EVs: 216 Atk / 40 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Multi-Attack
- Flamethrower
- U-turn
- Defog
As much as you can lure the fighting types Sudowoodo hates so much, it is nice to just have a reliable switch in to them while also grabbing some momentum. Silvally-Fairy shines in this meta and helps a ton. You could potentially make this a Silvally-Poison, as the team admittedly doesn't like Victreebel that much. Again feel free to change up to whatever you like.
Victreebel @ Grassium Z
Ability: Chlorophyll
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Leaf Storm
- Sludge Bomb
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Strength Sap
Victreebel again eases your fighting match up, especially with Silvally's inability to recover at all. You're also able to get in on a bulky water like Lanturn (bar Specs or something).
Mudsdale @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Stamina
EVs: 252 HP / 132 Def / 124 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Rock Slide
Can't have a team w/o rocks, also acts as the general Physical sponge of the team. You could consider going with Regirock in this slot for a better long term switch in to Stoutland/Kanga, however I didn't like the ground weakness it gave the build especially when trying to come in on opposing Mudsdales.
Primeape @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Stone Edge
- Pursuit
Team needed speed and ways of forcing switches while grabbing momentum. Primeape does that both and brings in stuff like Pom-Pom, Silvally-Fairy, Musharna, Clefairy, Gastrodon, ect. for Sudowoodo to come in and threaten. Also is a general good partner for Victreebel getting in the aforementioned Clefairy Gastrodon Silvally-Fairy and some others like Jellicent, Mudsdale, Torterra.
Lanturn @ Leftovers
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 40 HP / 220 Def / 248 SpD
Calm Nature
- Volt Switch
- Scald
- Toxic
- Heal Bell
This slot was initially an Eelektross but found that Lanturn provided more actual defensive value that the team wanted. Looking back Eelektross did give you a better Victreebel match up so hey use it if you want! Heal Bell really helped out the team in tests and the team just enjoys what Lanturn brings.

Speaking of tests... I do want to apologize, did play a ton of games vs some friends with this build but Showdown was still fucked up and wouldn't save all the replays :( However here is one vs my good
enemy friend Chrisloud:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7pu-1031252098-jn4708ssqe8m5gxwtdihk8kcvlw9worpw I had another game after this against Manyy where Sudowoodo broke a Balance of Bronzor Clefairy Gastrodon while also being able to tank a +1 Rev dance from Pom-Pom. The last game I remember was against Aaronboyer where Sudowoodo was able to break past Eelektross + Jellicent, while being able to come in on Dodrio with 1. The Chople Berry being there. and 2. Having the Mudsdale to come in on the Jump Kick, created some fun mind games you're able to abuse in game.
Overall pretty funny team, as Sudowoodo is honestly not the
worst thing out there. It balance breaks pretty alright, and the defensive value was surprisingly useful in some match ups. The team absolutely hates Victreebel but having to support Sudowoodo so hard put me into quite the corner. I mentioned earlier that you can make the Lanturn an Eelektross, well you can also make the Primeape a Dodrio if you're willing to forego the U-turn and not luring in some things for Sudowoodo.
Anyways friend hope you enjoy it, and Happy Holidays!
