Project Break My Team 2.0

Alolan Muk breaks it :
Muk-Alola @ Figy Berry
Ability: Gluttony
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Poison Jab
- Toxic
- Snarl
- Recycle

What happens :
- Muk tank one hit from Bulu and one shoot it with a poison stab.
- Muk outspeeds Camerupt, which allows him to land toxic when he wakes up (also Fire blast only 3HKO at -1). As he can stall out with recycle and more snarls to live even longer, Camerupt eventually dies to toxic.
- Both P2 and Muk do a laughably low amount of damage to each other, therefore Toxic wins.

252 Atk Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Muk-Alola in Grassy Terrain: 186-220 (44.9 - 53.1%) -- 0.4% chance to 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery

4 Atk Muk-Alola Poison Jab vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 324-384 (115.3 - 136.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO

-1 92+ SpA Sheer Force Camerupt-Mega Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Muk-Alola: 120-142 (28.9 - 34.2%) -- 4.3% chance to 3HKO
(Yes Muk outspeeds)

0 SpA Porygon2 Ice Beam vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Muk-Alola: 49-58 (11.8 - 14%) -- possible 8HKO

Adamant Nature

Sub, Reversal
I don't think anybody has any delusions that Stab Adaptability Super Effective Maximum Attack 200 BP move from a 145 base Attack stat isn't killing Porygon2

Tank Superpower, Punch

248 HP and 104 SpD to barely tank M-Camerupt's Fire blast. That bulk is enough against Tapu Bulu so it's alright. 108 Atk with positive nature to OS P2.

The Durr tanks the hit and OS first turn with poison jab

92+ SpA Sheer Force Camerupt-Mega Fire Blast vs. 248 HP / 104 SpD Conkeldurr: 306-361 (74 - 87.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after burn damage (Needs 3 turns of burn damage to kill with one hit)

108+ Atk Guts Conkeldurr Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 132 Def Camerupt-Mega: 302-356 (87.7 - 103.4%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
Protect T1, blast it T2 as you are immune to hax

lol why does this project always end up dying ;-; its so much fun though

Anyways, without further ado....
:Crabominable:
crabrave / mrkrabs (Crabominable) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 64 Def / 176 SpD
Careful Nature
- Crabhammer
- Close Combat
- Ice Hammer
- Power-Up Punch

Tanks a hit from Tapu Bulu and OHKOs back with Iron Fist Ice Hammer
252 Atk Tapu Bulu Wood Hammer vs. 252 HP / 64 Def Crabominable in Grassy Terrain: 337-397 (84.6 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Grassy Terrain recovery
16 Atk Iron Fist Crabominable Ice Hammer vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tapu Bulu: 296-350 (105.3 - 124.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO

Tanks that Fire Blast like a boss and OHKOs back with Crabhammer.
8 Atk Crabominable Crabhammer vs. 252 HP / 92 Def Camerupt-Mega: 336-396 (97.6 - 115.1%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO
92+ SpA Sheer Force Camerupt-Mega Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 176+ SpD Assault Vest Crabominable: 336-396 (84.4 - 99.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Against P2, just PUP a couple times and bop them with Crabhammer. They aren't doing nearly enough to you. You can even run Drain Punch over Close Combat if you're desperate for recovery.

If you're not deadset about beating Camerupt (which is somewhat of an obscure mon), other viable options include:
- Thunder Punch to pretty much always beat Mega Gyarados
- Rock Tomb to beat slow Magnezone
- Stone Edge for Volcarona
- Iron Head for Mega Diancie
 
Welp let's see if we can revive this for the couple weeks before Sword and Shield comes out.

To close up last month's BMT, we have a tie of 4 likes between Pokesartoolcay's Dragonite and my Crabominable, with a close trailblazer in M24's Mixed Emboar with 3 likes!
Congratulations!! You all deserve a cookie!

For the next week or so, we've got a sweet team from Synonimous. (thanks again btw)
