Hey fam,

This is literally my first ever interaction with Smogon, and I made an account JUST to send this to you. Here's a AAA team that went top 80 for me (as a pretty irregular player) so hoping it brings you a little fun in my favourite meta game. Cheers from Britain

Little, very brief run down:

I always lead my favourite mon, Overqwil, taunt other leads, set spikes, maybe get a defence drop and then DBond a threat. Pech is pretty standard with knock off protection. Barraskewda is a sensational revenge killer or pivot with flip turn. Standard meloetta set stolen from your good self. Corvi has to be in the team, and wbb works dreams with body press synergy. Then the star of the show. No-Guard Deoxys absolutely baffles people. Not to mention garuanteed paras and one shotting 90% of threats with no priority. Absolute baller and the most fun non I've used in the meta as no one expects it. With a little HP invest, it also survives some shit that people don't expect at all.

Yo Joey here's an Mega Medicham team for MTHL. Medi is the main breaker obviously. AV Gambit checks stuff like Ghold. Molt is the ground immune that switches in on Lando and Tusk, before U-turning out into either Woger or Medi. Koko is a fast mon that forms a pivot core with Molt. It also checks Bolt, since Woger is not Play Rough. Tusk is there for hazard control, as well as being the team's ground type. It can also beat Moon in a pinch.

I am putting all Megas here for convenience but make sure to check out my original post for the explanations -

Zard Y, Zard X, Lop, Bee, Chomp, Ttar, Venu, Pert, Maw, Aero, Audino, Hera, Glalie, Sabel, Alt, Aboma, Camel, Gyara, Medi, Garde, Mewtwo X, Metagross, Lix

https://pokepast.es/052c302ca9cea796

Lix for Megas. I got a Sand Grassy team for Lix. With Curse Sand Force, Gyro Ball power goes to the moon, Ttar is standard to get Rocks and Sand, AV Goodra H to lure Gliscor and Grounds in general, Madness Bulu to chip entire teams into Zolt range, Sub Z Draco Zolt to get paste Phys Def Grounds, Molt to check Fires and Fighters.

I've been astonished by the recent AAA gameplay
got another team if your willing to try
FT Boopa the Hoopa
https://pokepast.es/87513e84a70d0120
added the OP gambit from the team that reached #1 so I don't have any recent replays but Hoopa tends to put a lot of teams in awkward spots that are easy to capitalize against with these hard hitters. The team is weak to fire moves so see if you're up for the challenge.

Hey aim if you wanna do a Showdown Live for the new Mariomon Romhack I made a team and went 14-2 and got top 25 on the ladder (alt: ILoveChubbyGirls) here's the paste: https://pokepast.es/02231cb6fb3455fd server is on pokeathalon

HO PH Team https://pokepast.es/9e535ff23aa3a5bd

A Hydeigon team for Rabia, AAA exclusive.

Get Joey on this, the team good

https://pokepast.es/e818f32e8401d665

https://pokepast.es/b708845a1e362f60

I tried AAA for first time and I built a Magic Guard Electrode H team. Now this guy is very shiest because most AV guys are Water Or Ground so he can easily break them. LO Chloroblast calcs are impressive.

https://pokepast.es/5327c43dc143a4c8
Formemons team with Scarf Ultra Necrozma and MBanette. Nothing all that special outside of Banette, but it's still a fun mon to troll with. Tera steel Giratina-O is a tough match up so you may want to replace Heat Crash on Groudon if you want

I've been a big fan of you and blunder since 2018. I've been laddering with this team and it's been very fun, though at my skill level I only got to 1550s. I would love to see how Dr. Aim can cook with my team.

[Gen 9 natdex] Mega Sciz bulky offense

Mega Beedrill team got to 1600s pretty quick on my alt. It's all about hazard stacking and using Ruination + Nature's Madness to get Pokemon within Fell Stinger Range for Beedrill to then sweep. Fini also traps mons like Ferrothorn and Toxapex that Bee can't break. Z-Blaziken is also very fun to sweep/break with.

[Gen 9 AAA April 2025]
(I hope Joey tries this one cause I had a blast using it)
Paste: https://pokepast.es/653b2279c73d12d5 --> SebrinaBr is a side ac

I made top 10 using water absorb mean look Pecharunt to trap bulky av waters that try to Flip out for regen (toxic, mean look, recover and night shade) --> Night shade to break Zama's substitute.
This Pecharunt supports Primordial Sea Zapdos.
Further we've got stall breaker Unaware substitute Zamazenta. I think they really should ban this mon. It wins so many games.
Max spdef t-wave Meloetta with knock, u-turn and psy.
The generic fluffy Corv in AAA, but intimidate might be a better option in case of fire fang strong jaw Moon.
And finally Motor Drive tail glow Manaphy to break teams early on if they want to get momentum for what likes to be a free v-switch.

High ladder example game: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9almostanyability-2339692997-6tepxyqx1427hwfjkfa7cny9o930awgpw (bulky waters seems to be lesser common high ladder)

https://pokepast.es/319ee8d90d4f2edb Another funny HO that hit rank one after I tanked trying to run psyspam. Also Joey you should do Formemons for the Ubers Megas to high ladder instead of ND Ubers it'd be funnier

This team is for almost any ability, It's mainly based on Frostmoth getting the flash fire buff and sweeping with quiver dance life orb.

https://pokepast.es/3c51f2d439c2daf6

This team relies on mostly alcremie + mlati stored power, and the lead of scarf gambit victini and memento/ tailwind whimsicott :

hi aim, big fan

https://pokepast.es/4b7a36428c1f3899

Meta for Mega. Now I wanted to run Metagross on a more balanced structure as it takes advantage of his huge bulk and decent speed. These 4 moves are the best. PsyFangs is incredible into most of Ubers, Ice Punch for Yveltal and Zyg, Knock for Ghosts and Ho-oh. You don't need EQ as you have 5 Steel Counters in the back.

https://pokepast.es/a688eb26e5925dc0 peak 1510 on the ladder Charizard Y

Hit top 100 with this VGC team, it's a Tailroom team with AV Kyogre and Specs Miraidon. It is incredibly flexible, and the synergy between the pokemon is really strong. Kyogre powers up Landorus-I and Urshifu-Rapid. Leading with Farig + Miraidon allows you to either lean heavy into early offense, or to Volt Switch out and set up Trick Room. You can also lead Whims + Kyogre and just click fast Water Spout. Kyogre is just so bulky with the Assault Vest, really good into both Calyrex forms. Landorus-I is really strong into Miraidon and Zama, who are the biggest threats against Kyogre. Your own Miraidon is also good into those two. Urshifu is a slower, bulkier set, so that allows it to function in Trick Room to invalidate protects, while still being very fast under Tailwind.

https://pokepast.es/155e83c61ae7177f all credit to udongirl i jus added a few tweaks super sick uu team!

hey joey, i have a fun surskit rain OU team that allows a fast sticky web setter to help the powerhouse that is cb adaptability basculegion. even though its weak, rain hydro pump can threaten spinners like tusk, treads, and cinderace w tera ghost and can disrupt sweepers with haze and pounce. have fun! https://pokepast.es/471aeafd641b9287

(ps, if you want a mon to replace greninja for speed control try this Overqwil!)
