Hey Joey, been a long time viewer and one of my hobbies is just strictly team building. So, I saw convergence and went to work building some teams and came up with this absolute farm of a team that I thought you'd really find cool and enjoy. I've not lost with it yet in testing (only like 5 or so games).
First we have: Shaymin. Grassy Surge Shaymin is the most consistent pokemon at enabling Grassy Terrain due to its good overall bulk and decent speed for a bulky mon. Seed Flare and Earth Power combo quite well (although, never found myself clicking EP), and the other two moves are pretty self-explanatory.
Secondly we have Metagross. Under Grassy Terrain, Metagross eats S/E earthquakes with relative ease, allowing for a quick agility/Weakness policy setup that can flinch its targets down with the deadly Serene Grace Iron Head combo. I actually beat an intimidate Ting-Lu this way because it knocked me and got me to +1, then I proceeded to flinch it down. I also beat a bulky unaware Swampert by spamming Zen Headbutt and Iron Head. Super fun.
Third up is Cosmoem. Yes, you heard this right. A consistent stealth rocker that has serious bulk with eviolite. Can Foul Play and teleport out, and has regenerator for pivoting. In theory, Cresselia and Deo-D do this too (and even Mew could), but when do you ever get to use Cosmeom seriously?
Fourth is my Hairy Momma. Haryiama getting access to Mienshao's regenerator is a godsend. AV Hari is super bulky, and was my easy counter to weak armor torch song Chandelure. It basically functions as Iron Hands from AAA in this case, only it has U-turn over Volt, and also has Mach Punch. Although, Mach Punch can be dropped for EQ if you need to hit something like Iron Moth.
Fifth is a fan favorite. Cheshnaught. This belly drumming monstrosity has access to two forms of technician boosted priority. Grassy Glide under terrain, and mach punch. I run some speed invest to try and catch bulky ghost types with knock off that might have a secondary typing that resists GG.
Finally is the star. This Rampardos set wins on the spot with extreme ease. I've cleared Garchomps and Excadrills using this absolute beast. Tough Claws boosted Accelerock's off of Rampardos' massive attack stat hits like a truck, and sucker punch (also boosted) is a nice boon to have. Adding CC and this Lycanroc larp hits way too hard for anyone to ignore. If you don't block priority this monster will mess your entire team up. With pivots like Hairy Momma and Shaymin, it becomes super easy to get in. The life orb damage boost is huge, and the recoil is offset by grassy terrain, making it an easy choice as an item.
In theory, this team loses hard to unaware mons, but Metagross always just seems to flinch past them anyway, and my defensive pivots can make handling them easy enough. If needed, Cosmoem can be dropped for a more consistent rocker and perform fine. It's the only mon on the team that is kind of just there for fun.
