Metagame Bad 'n Boosted (Espeon banned)

[Snaquaza]

Bad 'n Boosted was a successful yet rejected meta of mine in 2018, which I've always cherished and want to revive! What is it? Well, the metagame has one simple rule: all base stats of 70 and lower are doubled! Let's take a look at some Pokemon as an example, starting at the (currently illegal) metagame mascot: Castform.

​

Pokemon​	HP​	Attack​	Defense​	Special Attack​	Special Defense​	Speed​
​	140​	140​	140​	140​	140​	140​
​	136​	140​	92​	100​	132​	84​
​	100​	140​	100​	100​	100​	140​

​

What I find interesting about this meta is how many Pokemon became powerful and have a niche, yet few seem truly OP due to the way the meta plateaus. There are so many possible threats to explore!

The meta is Ubers based.

Banlist: AG, Moody, King's Rock, Razor Fang, Baton Pass, Last Respects, Evioliote, Huge Power, Pure Power, Espathra, Cyclizar, Polteageist, Shadow Tag

The metagame is playable on Dragon Heaven, can be discussed in the Pet Mods room (or you can find me there for a match!) and the Discord Server! If you want to discuss the meta, I'd love to have a chat!

Gz on the thread Snaquaza.

Just wanted to start of with some metagame discussion:

Clefairy - Imo the best pokemon in the tier right now (controversial), but holy crap is it strong. It has 140/96/130 defenses along with reliable recovery, great utility moves, and has one of the best defensive abilities in Magic Guard. It can run a multitude of sets including many sets with Sticky Barb or other items. It has a plethora of options as well, with utility moves like Thunder Wave, Knock Off, Calm Mind, and Encore. It also has a workable 120 base SpA that after boosted by Calm Mind, could reach very high levels of damage with a STAB Moonblast.

Araquanid - Does what it does best; Click webs and spam Water Bubble Boosted STAB moves. 140 Attack and 100 Special Attack respectively are nothing to scoff at, and it has a respectable movepool that hits a lot of the metagame for unresisted hits. Most pokemon that resist it still get 2HKO'd by it, so its definitely a threat you have to account for.

Volcanion - I think its a super underrated pick at the moment and I'm definitely going to explore this further. It resists both of Araquanid's STABs, resists Koraidon's sun boosted Flare Blitz, and has an immunity to the water type. It has a respectable 130 SpA stat and a Speed of 140, making it one of the fastest things in the tier. It can run a fast taunt set, or just run a plethora of other options as well, with coverage like Tera Blast, Sludge Bomb, Fire Spin, Steam Eruption, etc.

Breloom - Fast spore, Bulky Poison Heal setup sweeper, Knock and status absorber, what more can you ask from a slot honestly. It has enough coverage to hit most of the metagame, and has options in Swords Dance, Bulk Up, or even Substitute on certain sets. Runs lots of coverage outside of its STABs with Rock Slide / Zen Headbutt / Facade / Fire Punch / Thunder Punch.

Toxapex - Bulky Incarnate. This pokemon is damn near unkillable. Period. 100/152/142 bulk with reliable recovery AND Regenerator. This is not okay. I hate this mon :((( Runs Toxic Spikes, Haze, Recover, and a bunch of other moves that cause maximum annoyance and makes me want to rip my hair out. Guess what!! IT JUST TERAS OUT OF A BAD MATCHUP and suddenly you have no way to actually kill it anymore.

I love Clefairy! I've only used it on one team, but it's been very impressive there. I think it can run both physdef and specdef, but on that team I ran a specdef variant together with a Skarmory and a Persian-Alola to offset its mediocre defense. It survives almost any special attack, even incredibly strong ones. You already mentioned many moves it gets, but I want to highlight two moves I ran:
Stealth Rock: Speaks for itself, but it is a very reliable setter, even multiple times over the course of a battle.
Trick: This is a really cool move that has really impressed me. I am running Flame Orb + Trick and it puts a lot of pressure on the opposing team as the physical attackers that would like to target its average physical defense become scared of switching in on the Trick. Other times against Toxic Spikes teams (or when switching in on status) they don't even know you run Trick (or even think you run Flame Orb just for status immunity) and you get very free burns. One notable highlight is a game where I managed to trick on an incoming Gliscor heavily crippling it. Finally, Trick also helps a lot against opposing Trick users. While Clefairy doesn't appreciate the Choice Scarf (usually), it allows it to further disrupt the opposing team.

I do really recommend using the 'mon! (Even if I disagree it's the best Pokemon in the metagame right now - but maybe Calm Mind sets will prove me wrong)

hi chat i'm here to spread the
sylveon gospel

here's the set that i normally use!

weather ball (Sylveon) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Pixilate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Hyper Voice
- Weather Ball / Shadow Ball
- Quick Attack
with the stat boost, sylveon's base speed becomes a respectable 120, and its defense becomes base 130 — allowing it to take physical attacks much better than it normally would. sylveon's base attack is doubled as well, so if anyone wants to give building physical sylveon a shot... ;)
hyper voice is sylveon's best STAB move here, it's got decent power and it has the added utility of hitting behind sub. this helps against those pesky mons that hide behind sub, such as sub + spore breloom. psychic handles poison types, not much to see here. i'd like to discuss weather ball and quick attack, two moves that i normally wouldn't find myself running on a choice specs sylveon set. weather ball may seem... like a strange addition at first. personally, i run koraidon alongside sylveon to form a decent wallbreaking core (koraidon on the physical side and sylveon on the special side). now koraidon very crucially provides sun, which allows sylveon's weather ball to become a 100 BP fire type move — this is better than any fire coverage sylveon has actually had, like ever LOL. anyway fire-type weather ball allows sylveon to simply nuke any steel-types coming in with the hope of easily picking it off. quick attack, on the other hand, is a vital priority option that allows sylveon to revenge kill threats faster than it — i'll be the first to admit that i usually didn't run it, but after many moments where i lost the matchup due to not having priority, i decided that it had to go on the set. if you don't run sylveon with koraidon, you can replace weather ball with shadow ball instead for decent neutral coverage, but i do think that the ability to hit steel-types super effectively here is HUGE. personally i run timid to allow sylveon to outspeed more things, but if you really want more wallbreaking power you can consider modest. tera fairy further boosts hyper voice and quick attack, allowing you to spam it more :> i do think offensive tera types are the way to go here.

like i mentioned earlier, sylveon's synergy with koraidon is amazing — it takes care of other dragons that koraidon may not wanna be up against (especially if koraidon is slowed for any reason), while koraidon can help with pressuring the steel-types that sylveon hates. it's also really good to have a wallbreaking core that covers both sides of the defensive spectrum, as most defensive mons in the meta opt to invest exclusively in ether physical or special bulk (i haven't seen many mixed walls).

on another note: for those interested, we have a queue going for analysis writing :) hoping to get a bunch of analyses written on some of our meta staples so newcomers to the tier can have an idea of where to start.
aside from all of the following in the queue atm, everything else is up for grabs. so if you wanna write about a particular set (or a pokemon in general), feel free to shoot me a message (either here or on discord)!! :>

Hi gonna give my thoughts on what's broken

Calyrex-Ice is one of the best offensive mons in the tier. It's speed is now quite a decent base 100, which makes it useable on Webs and as a scarfer, and it has extreme bulk and offensive power, making it nigh unstoppable without certain checks such as Toxapex or Skeledirge. I do think that Caly Ice is a potential QB or suspect candidate in the future due to its extremely high bulk and damage output making it very very difficult to stop.

Ariados is a good Sticky Web setter, having perfect 140/140/140 bulk and a decent typing in Poison/Bug which lets it consistently set webs. It is also very offensively threatening, using Focus Energy to throw out massive Sniper boosted crit Bug Buzz on any hazard removal.

The Oricorio formes are really annoying to deal with, despite their unboosted offensive stats, they are very hard to kill and easily boost to full with Quiver Dance, running Taunt to destroy stall teams.

Alola Persian should be good, but it has no recovery moves, making it difficult to use effectively in a very bulky and slow metagame.

 

[Beaf Cultist]

it's a little weird to have a cyclizar team in the samples when the mon is banned imo

 

[Snaquaza]

I'll update the Sample Teams at a later moment, I'm aware that Cyclizar is banned, but if people want to use the team as a baseline for a different team, I think that could be valuable (such as replacing Cyclizar with something like Sceptile - I have just not tested that and as such cannot recommend it in good faith).

Will add a team dump as well. Don't think my teams are all amazing, but it might inspire some people!

 

[Politoad With An A]

Quick Question: will this thread discuss BnB Low Tiers?
If so, I would like to talk about some Doubles Staples so far:

Farigiraf @ Safety Goggles/Throat Spray
Ability: Armor Tail
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ally Switch
- Protect/Foul Play
- Psychic Noise
- Thunder Wave/Hyper Voice

We all knew Farigiraf would be a staple, like c'mon its a priority blocking mon with insane bulk.
Having Ally Switch gives a great mon one of the strongest moves in Doubles and makes it very splashable.
It has soooo many options in the form of Thunder Wave, Foul Play, Psychic Noise, Wish, Screens, Helping Hand, etc.
All in all, it is an excellent mon that should be on 80% of teams imo.

Iron Hands @ Assault Vest
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 52 Atk / 208 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Drain Punch/Close Combat
- Heavy Slam/Ice Punch
- Supercell Slam

This thing is a BEAST, being able to use Fake Out very well and apply excellent offensive pressure with its dual STAB and coverage.
Fake Out is one of the premier moves in Doubles (along side Ally Switch and Protect) letting it completely stop an opposing mon moving for a turn.
The EV spread provided lets Hands get an Attack Boost from Quark Drive, but still having an absurdly high SpDef Stat on top of Assault Vest.

Hoopie (Hoopa-Unbound) @ Life Orb
Ability: Magician
Tera Type: Psychic/Ghost
EVs: 204 HP / 252 SpA / 52 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Expanding Force
- Shadow Ball
- Focus Blast
- Protect

This is the dark horse of BnB Doubles because holy shit this thing is absolutely destructive under Trick Room with support from Indeedee
170 Base SpAtk + Expanding Force + Helping Hand + Tera Psychic just OHKOs everything and there is sometimes nothing your opponent can do about it :D
Hoopa-U also has just really good defences and is really annoying to break without a Super Effective move.
Psyspam in general looks really good in Doubles just because of how much Indeedee got buffed.

Indeedee-F @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Psychic Surge
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Follow Me
- Psychic
- Protect
- Trick Room

Speaking of Indeedee, this thing got amazing Physical Bulk and is now one of the most annoying partners for Hoopa-U to ever exist.
Follow Me + Psychic Surge is a really good combination of support and is the best redirector for U-Turn to walk the planet.
Psychic Surge on switch in is like slightly worse Armor tail but it also buffs the most spammable move in existence.
Trick Room is very interesting this format, because every mon seems to be really fast.
Combined with Calyrex Shadow-Rider or Hoopa-U it can wreak havoc with ease.


Also gz Snaq on the BnB/PMCM threads :D

 

[Edjeanerations]

Ho-Oh @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake / Scorching Sands
- Brave Bird / Air Slash
- Sacred Fire / Overheat
- Whirlwind / Tailwind

Ho-oh is probably my favorite Pokemon to use at the moment. It has high bulk and very powerful physical and special attacks with great secondary effects. On top of that, the regenerator ability makes it great for pivoting. Sacred Fire is a strong STAB move that beats running Will o' Wisp because it doesn't miss and still has a 50% chance to burn, Earthquake is good for dealing damage to rock types who typically counter it, and Brave Bird has very little drawback due to Ho-oh's ability to heal. I also tend to run a poison tera type to get rid of toxic spikes because I'm an adamant Toxapex hater.

I added a special moveset as well, but I always run physical because it has a higher Atk stat and I'm a bigger fan of using Sacred Fire. Scorching Sands can still work if you'd like to inflict burn while dealing damage, though due to its lower speed I would run Tailwind or make sure the other team is webbed if you want to get the full value from Air Slash.


Persian @ Silk Scarf
Ability: Technician
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Fake Out
- Knock Off
- Double-Edge
- U-turn

One of my favorite examples of "Keep It Simple, Stupid". Persian has insanely good stats all around, and its a great pivot mon. Due to its 140 base Atk, Technician and decent Normal type moves it can deal tons of damage even just by using fake out. I've seen people run Thief instead of Knock Off, but I prefer KO due to its versatility. Persian also has insane bulk so it can take some hits and suffer a bit less from Double-Edge's recoil. It does suffer from hazards and statuses unless you sacrifice some damage for Heavy Duty Boots, but I would suggest running hazard removal on a different mon instead.


Deoxys-Defense @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Stored Power
- Recover
- Thunderbolt

This thing is just plain annoying. Good bulk, good damage, and even recovery. As long as you have neutral typing or an advantage you can sacrifice a few turns to set up Calm Mind in order to deal more damage back. Even without CM set up you can take some hits. I've thrown this in against a Koraidon With Swords Dance and Flare Blitz and watched the thing kill itself (or get close) while using Recover to last longer. Pressure also becomes useful if you're facing another similar mon that has a stored power setup. I also run a Poison Tera Type to prevent toxic. Not much else to say here.



Komala @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Comatose
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wish
- Ice Spinner
- Rapid Spin
- Super Fang

I see many people use Alomomola or Pawmot for utility, but I think Komala is underutilized and I'd love to see it used more. Comatose is a great ability along with Heavy Duty Boots, effectively making it immune to most non-damaging annoyances. It's bulky which helps heal other mons with Wish more, plus it does run rapid spin for hazards now that Cyclizar has been removed. The damaging moves can maybe be swapped out, but I run Super Fang to at least help whittle down tanks. Psychic Terrain seems like the only dangerous terrain to have set up so I went with Ice Spinner to counter it, but you could also run U-Turn if you have other options to deal with terrains.

Love the idea of this, and will probably get to teambuilding in the future. Is there a spreadsheet for this? I know it is just "multiply the low numbers by 2" but it will be easier to look at stats (especially Speed tiers) at a glance if we can see those numbers all together.

Hey! You can go to Dragon Heaven and use the Teambuiler as an interactive 'spreadsheet'! Just go to the teambuilder and click BST to get Pokemon ordered by BST. You can scroll and see what Pokemon you'd like! (Alternatively, you can click on Speed to order by Speed)

Also, yes, discussing any BnB tiers seems fine in this thread!

 

[Shaun | CCGeek]

I love the amount of interaction we've been getting on this thread, it feels like this mod really is booming.

That said, I have yet another announcement.

BnB DamageCalc Tool

​

That's right! You no longer need to manually double the stats of a Pokemon in the official Pokemon Showdown Damage Calculator while running Damage Calculations! This userscript introduces a handy little button (with colours eyedroppered from the tier's resident Sticky Web setter) that doubles the base stats of BOTH the Pokemon sets loaded in the builder at the moment.

All you need to do to install is:

1. Install a userscript manager, e.g., Tampermonkey (for Chrome / Microsoft Edge / Safari / Opera / Firefox) or Greasemonkey (for Firefox).
   • For Tampermonkey: Click on the extension, click on Create a new script..., and paste the attached file's contents into it.
   • For Greasemonkey: Click on the extension, click on New User Script..., and paste the attached file's contents into it.
2. Reload the Damage Calculator.
3. Profit???

Now, full disclosure, I barely know how to write JS. The sole reason I could even produce this was by virtue of an LLM, and I will admit, it feels a little fraudulent to post code that isn't mine, but this is something that will improve QoL for the tier, so here you go y'all.

a speedtier comparison of pokemon that have a bst>560 :33

for what it's worth, the total number of pokemon in the tier is 822, so this is the top ~75.1% of the tier wrt. BST. what i provided is not guaranteedly all-encompassing, but you should have nearly everything in here that can be worth keeping an eye on.

I want to discuss lead Skarmory, a Pokemon I've quite enjoyed on offensive teams that also feels a little unorthodox.


Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Whirlwind

I've very much liked this Skarmory as a lead. Its main purpose is to set hazards to be able to play an aggressive game after. However, with its 'perfect' top-of-the-meta speed tier, it can also prevent other Pokemon from setting hazards (for example, my team hates Webs) and also prevents setup. Clearly, it is very weak to Espeon, but otherwise it comes in clutch many games.

Notably, you can choose to let it die early or to keep it around. Few Pokemon can do significant damage to Skarmory in one hit, so even without Roost, it could have some staying power and provide a crucial defensive backbone to a team. For example, setup sweepers like Arceus can be phazed out if they manage to set up so you can try to win the game before they have another chance to get going. You could also replace Whirlwind with Body Press, but I prefer the ability to check setup sweepers compared to the utility of often minor damage. I'd not recommend running Roost on an offensive team. Sometimes the chip recovery from Leftovers can come in clutch if certain Pokemon cannot hit Skarmory at all, but otherwise all the moves it runs have more utility and this lead Skarmory should not be tasked to check opposing threats again and again and again.

Then I have another Pokemon, which is a bit of a meme. I've not used it at all, and don't think it's very viable, but it is fun to theorymon around and could be the centerpiece on a team built around it: Yungoos.


Yungoos @ Choice Band
Ability: Stakeout
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Double-Edge
- Stomping Tantrum / Crunch / Facade
- Stomping Tantrum / Crunch / Facade
- U-turn

Yungoos gets base 140 Attack... and that's it. It gets a mediocre HP (96) and Speed (90) and otherwise its defenses are both 60, which is atrocious for this metagame. However, when a couple of us were getting annoyed at Datdoiboi's triple Regenerator teams, this Pokemon popped up to punish passive teams. If you can get it in versus a wall (or well, a Pokemon that it outspeeds or survives at least one hit from) that it threatens to KO, your opponent is in major trouble. With Choice Band Stakeout 140 Attack Double-Edge, little Pokemon enjoy switching in and it has coverage for Rock, Steel, and Ghost-types in case those want to be cheeky. For example, a very physically bulky Pokemon, Toxapex (100 HP/152 Def) takes this much with a full physically bulky EV spread:

252+ Atk Choice Band Stakeout Yungoos Double-Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 363-427 (89.8 - 105.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO after Stealth Rock

Yungoos also appreciates Sticky Web support so it outspeeds more Pokemon, threatening them with a kill if they don't switch out (and then threatening the Pokemon switching in). However, due to its extremely low bulk itself it will have trouble coming in, so VoltTurb teams might be the only teams that could viable use this Pokemon. It will also end up killing itself due to the recoil of Double-Edge, but if it kills itself, it probably claimed at least one or two kills, which can be the key to be able to break through a defensive core.

Now, if you manage to use this Pokemon viably from my theorymonning, I'd love to hear about it :)

Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
- Taunt
- Whirlwind

while a worthwhile pick on offense, this might not be the set that this mon sees the most success with (in my opinion). Iron Defense / Body Press + Spikes sets are able to generate momentum really effectively. paired with solid Knock Off users (namely Persian-Alola the G.O.A.T.), ID-BP Skarm is VERY good at forcing switches and actually racking up the hazard damage unlike the many other hazard setters of the tier that run their respective hazards as an afterthought.

Also, honorary mention to Swords Dance + Brave Bird Skarmory. I think if built right, it can have a very solid niche in the tier.

On that note:

@ ( )

Ability: Fur Coat
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- U-turn
- Roar
- Thunder Wave

this Thing is a menace. it has SO many options. insane bulk w/ fur coat; can serve both as a physical wall or a mixed wall. swiss-army knife moveset; probably the best knocker in the tier. moveset is literally knock+3; can run ANYTHING. your other options include parting shot / taunt / chilling water / hypnosis (esp effective because you often force switches and its counters really shut it down even if knocked and putting them to sleep gives you other options) / (and if you're willing to sacrifice boots (its best item) thief / switcheroo even).

you can also run sm like curse / throatchop sets if you're desperate enough but that is not the best use of this mon.

that's enough talk ab what CAN be run, let's talk about what I actually run.

knock off: explains itself
u-turn: imo uturn > pshot but some people disagree but that's valid. comes down to teamstyle/preference
twave: more accurate status move than hypnosis, really effective at getting a couple paras per match, helps out hex carrying teammates a lot. these teams may also appreciate tspikes.
roar: top3 phasers in the format imo. it can click roar really well and very often. with hazards on the field it goes hard.

and this brings me to:

Team Core Suggestion:

+ + + spinblocking hex user

 

[quziel]

Shadow Tag and Arena trap probably need to be removed from the tier.

Gothitelle has significant stat buffs here, gaining a tremendous amount of bulk, and more importantly speed, and Dugtrio has the bulk to actually take more than zero hits here. While you could probably remove those two as they're significantly better than their pre-evolutions, Gothorita is still competent, and Gothita actually has the most SpA of its entire evo chain here.

I'm currently expecting to ban Shadow Tag at the end of the week, given how well it is already being abused (+ prior experience with it).

Dugtrio I have not seen at all, but from an ideological standpoint I would not mind banning these in the same breath if people support banning Dugtrio, too.

 

[Snaquaza]

As of the start of the next week in the tour, Shadow Tag is banned. Gothitelle and its siblings can easily trap a plethora of passive Pokemon in the metagame. Depending on the set, it can PP stall, Trick Scarf, simply revenge kill, or set up and sweep (with me mostly running a setup sweeper set). To talk about my personal experiences, it is relatively common to be able to set up on a passive Pokemon to then win at +6 SpA / +6 SpD. To highlight this set, and celebrate one of my best teams, I also wanted to share this team (which maybe you can edit to still worked but Gothitelle was an important piece: https://pokepast.es/efc77f5642961e66


Gothitelle @ Leftovers
Ability: Shadow Tag
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Calm Mind
- Substitute
- Stored Power
- Thunderbolt

Gothitelle was the centerpiece and does one important task: punish bulkier / stall teams. It is a relatively straightforward Pokemon that aims to get into battle safely (read: without getting statused or knocked off), get a Substitute on a Pokemon that cannot break the Sub and start setting up. Bonus points if the opposing Pokemon is special that, at some point, cannot 2 or 3-hit the Sub. Against most teams, if it successfully sets up, the battle is over. At +6/+6 it is extremely difficult to check, even with Unaware, and it can usually kill the trapped Pokemon with its Sub up, which forces even offensive teams to sacrifice another Pokemon before killing it.

The downside of this set was that, due to Stored Power, it was relatively weak if there was not a Pokemon that it could trap safely, as it required setup. Unboosted Thunderbolt is also not very powerful, but usually the rest of the team managed to dismantle more offensive teams.


Persian-Alola @ Leftovers
Ability: Fur Coat
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Parting Shot
- Knock Off
- Thunder Wave
- Roar

Underrated Pokemon! Works very nicely as a pivot, even with limited survivability. It can check nearly any physical Pokemon once; Roar is nice against Pokemon that try to set up against you and synergizes nicely with the hazards on Clefairy / Skarmory. Parting Shot helps Gothitelle trap weakened Pokemon and is a great move to pivot (and to make Espeon switch out, if needed) while Knock Off is always valuable.


Clefairy @ Flame Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Moonlight
- Moonblast
- Trick

This Clefairy set is a lot of fun and extremely specially bulky! I think a mixed defensive set might be better, but then again, this team has Persian-Alola to be a temporary hard-stop against physical threats. In addition, physical Pokemon cannot switch in safely while you have your Flame Orb available to burn them: suddenly they barely dent you. I really love this tech, as it patches out a big weakness for Clefairy and crippling Pokemon gives Gothitelle / Koraidon / Salazzle set-up opportunities and also helps stall out Pokemon if needed.


Koraidon @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Scale Shot
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz

Simple Koraidon set that functions as a very strong wincon. You try to find a point to Swords Dance up safely (notably against opposing Araquanid) and proceed to boost your speed with Scale Shot. At that point, it is extremely hard to stop! Its main weakness is that its nature is very much that you get one attempt to sweep, due to its weakness to hazards and chip in general (with Flare Blitz chipping Koraidon itself..).


Skarmory @ Leftovers
Ability: Sturdy
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Taunt
- Spikes
- Whirlwind
- Body Press

This is my offensive lead set! I think on this team, Roost might be valuable as this team also has a defensive mode between Clefairy / Skarm / Persian-Alola, but at the same time, that core is never meant to survive for too long (at least, Persian-Alola isn't) and against some threats, Leftovers can already be enough to be extremely annoying. Sometimes, the chip healing can sustain Skarmory for annoyingly long periods. However, I really like running Taunt on teams without hazard removal, so opposing Pokemon cannot get hazards for free on Skarmory. Spikes seems self-explanatory, and Whirlwind avoids Skarmory from being setup bait. Finally, Body Press is a nice check in case Skarmory needs to do some damage. Very nice lead, too!


Salazzle @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Corrosion
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Fire Lash
- Gunk Shot
- Tera Blast

The final Pokemon is Salazzle, and its a surprisingly good Dragon Dance user! Salazzle really annoys bulkier teams, even without Toxic, as its Fire Lash is hard to switch in to, especially when it might be followed up by a Gunk Shot at -1 Defense. Meanwhile, at +1 it outspeeds the metagame, allowing it to put in work against offensive team and weaken Pokemon for Koraidon (or vice versa). Notably, its typing allows it to switch in against many Fighting, Fire, and Fairy-types (such as some Breloom sets) and set up, which also allows it to fit into the main gamemode of this team: try to find an opening to win, while being able to play the defensive game for a little while.

Overall, this team felt like one of my most consistent ones. I might try to make it work without Gothitelle, but it'll be hard to patch the hole it will leave (despite wallbreakers in Salazzle and Koraidon). Against many teams, it just... 6-0d when it came in. However, I'd recommend giving any Pokemon on the team a try, you won't be disappointed!
