Muh that's the ZU Pokémon that never saw any usage, even in troll AG teams!
Yes, it is.
I don't even like wyrdeer. I find it ugly, weak and unnecessary. BUT it troubled me how it had absolutely ZERO niche, anywhere on the planet, below and further. So I took on the challenge. I saw the Indeedee typing, Incineroar ability, near-Farigiraf Bulk, and a very usable Movepool (credit to stantler being a Gen 2 Normal type) and told myself that since Natdex Singles wasn't all that fun anymore I could as well return to Doubles. For those that know me, I am a shitmon believer. And a trick room believer. I mixed them up, and went on to get to top 5 on ladder. ONTO THE MONS
Audino-Mega (F) @ Audinite
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Normal

- Life Dew
Dis Bulky Doc right there is a hella underrated support. While not getting impressive damage (or any at all on this set lol) it can stay on the field from turn 1 and do the damn job. Simple Beam here is goated as you're slower than Ursaluna-B and thus can simple beam it, it'll Calm Mind and get a +2 boost instead of +1. Double edged tho, as you now get owned by Parting shot. also works on Iron hands, that"s why it has 1 IV speed, to be slower than Mega Aud in TR, so you can always simple beam it to get +4 (x3 atk) from 1 SD. Double-edged again, as you are also slower than Base Ursaluna in TR, tho with the bulky spread/Tera it will likely not OHKO you. Another Force of Aud is to pick its weaknesses. Opp has a stakataka/Naganadel/Scizor/whatever? u dont Mega and keep regen. Opp has a Marshadow/Regidrago/whatever? you Mega and they become wannabes. While many people already think "cresselia is better", I don't agree. Cresselia has a qhit typing in psychic. opp brought sun? too bad you're getting Chiyu+FMane'd opp brought a Z marshadow? a Z Chien Pao? Nah I dont think it'll Trick room today. audino lives ALLAT and has a staying power AT LEAST as good as cress. While Life dew does not restore Status, it has twice as much PP and Healr heals your ally anyways. Yea you thought Glimmora was top tier? Watch muh doc making it basically a dead weigh. Audino doesn't even fear its raw Sludge bomb, setting TR Regardless. Cress has 1 more Physical bulk and 11 more Special bulk, so it's very comparable, and for such a typing as audino's, I'd go Audino all day, on this team at least. Mega audino also gets the advantage of having literally 35 less base speed, Getting the occasion to move in TR while Kingambit is on the field instead of getting instaknocked. Cress doesn't have THAT much of a better movepool, too. Mega audino actually has MORE special attack than Cres sif you're ever going to Dazzling gleam, Ice beam, or icy wind outof TR. Cress is a FRAUD. I mean it's good, but it's not outright better than mega Aud. As of the spread, U js are bulky on both sides, not that deep.
Ursaluna-Bloodmoon @ Leftovers
Ability: Mind's Eye
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Hyper Voice
- Blood Moon
- Protect
- Calm Mind
Yeaa I AM a shitmons enjoyer but nothing like pairing them with meta mons i despiiise. had to make it Original, here you go, NO ground Coverage Bloodsaluna. Why? because I got earth power on enamorus anyways, and Mind's Eye Normal Type is already cracked enough, when you got Single target Boomburst and STAB Base 90 Hyper voice. very very basic set here, you get simpled beamed if the opp doesn't have a ghost type alive, because you're just that broken. Very, very standard, I dont like long paragraphs on standard mons, NEXT
Iron Hands @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Quark Drive
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 248 HP / 12 Atk / 16 Def / 232 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 1 Spe
- Protect
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch
- Thunder Punch
"yea but this is a meta mon" Soooo diminutive of what this beast actually is. No fake out, tho you fake it (get the joke?) and can use it for a free SD. Clear amulet protects from Intim and parting shot, thus making Simple beam much much better than if it had, like, booster energy (that would deactivate upon getting simple) or AV (because no boosting move, duh). 1 Spe IV, as mentionned before, gets you to always be slower than Mega Aud so it simple beams you in all safety. Tera water gives you an incredible rain matchup (Drain punch the archaludon) and a potable Sun Matchup (Thunder punch the zardy), the spdef spread is to balance out with the existing great physical bulk, making you effectively a wall. and you dont care much about the attack investment when you're getting a SD anyways. DrainPunch + ThunderPunch does thud into Lando-T, but that mon is ABSENT, like, really much so, and it gets Destroyed by Ursa-Blood anyways. Nah not much of a Shakespearian Chapter for this Pseudo-Meta mon. NExT
Wyrdeer (M) @ Psychium Z
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 252 HP / 248 Def / 8 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Helping Hand
- Roar
- Hypnosis
Here we are bois. As some say "Truly skilled trainers try to win with their favorites, and competitive trainers win with Pokemon they fucking hate" because dat deer is ugly and has a victim lore and I hate it. BUT one thing that cannot be taken from it is its utility. Z TR goes through taunt, encore, Imprison and what not and it has the little funni effect of INCREASING ACCURACY. Hypnosis becomes Stone edge (80% acc) and you ball. Hypno the opps, Setup with you other mon, this is the way of the deer. When both opps are sleepin you can then either Helping hand ur ally to make it a nuke or Roar One of the opp's mon to hypnosis another one. And since you got Intimidate, switching it in is not too complicated, if at all. sadly wyrdeer got the sky-high 65 Base speed, making it unable to underspeed things like gambit, Farigiraf and other common slow mons. Z TR makes up for most of it tho as knock is 65 BP on Z Crystals and Z TR goes through Imprison, as said before. it's a very Unique mon with Neither a Unique movepool, a Unique Typing nor a Unique ability, just a Unique combination of the three. It's a simple yet incredible enabler for sweepers, Very very satisfying to play, as contrarily to stone edge, hypnosis for some reason connects most of the time. Another Idea I had was this + Supersweet syrup ally to have 100 or sth % accurate hypnosis but I didn't test it. Roar is also incredibly Useful at denying opposing Imprison, trick room and Roars (by Roaring them first in this case). Very decently bulky, too, and will live reasonable hits like Rilla Wood Hammer or Flutter mane MoonBlast.
Stakataka @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Beast Boost
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Lonely Nature
IVs: 15 Def / 0 Spe
- Rock Slide
- Gyro Ball
- Trick Room
- Heat Crash
Dis one ova there doesn't carry Protect ??! Well yea it don't, because I deemed Heat crash much more useful with the amount of support I got. 15 def IVs make the raw atk as much as the raw defense, which in effect makes it that attack is always boosted after KOs. Rock slide can rget you flichs, neat amount of damage, and when used at the right time, can get you an invaluable +2. Gyro ball is strong as hell and often KOs Neutral target at +1 (100-150(generally) BP STAB off 131 Base attack Maxed out) and then Tera fire heat crash that absolutely CRUSHES Steel types, and is generally stronger than high horsepower, and it crushes Stuff like amoonguss and rillaboom, so really, a neat move (no respect for emboar Heat Crash was made a TM in gen 8 lmaoo) Yet another Meta mon about whom I won't make a too long Paragraph.

Enamorus-Therian (F) @ Covert Cloak
Ability: Overcoat
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 SpA / 8 SpD
Quiet Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Springtide Storm
- Protect
- Earth Power
- Calm Mind
I love this mon. Looks aren't everything, and it's as true as ever in this team, with Enamorus being able to Pull off incredible damage with its 135 Base Special attack, also maxed out, and its nearly-perfect coverage of Fairy and ground. It is definetely slower than mega aud, so it's not something very easy to simple beam, but you can do that funny interaction where you tera fairy springtide storm to kill both opps (nah for real the damage output of this thig is enormous)(did you get it Mr. Wonders?) and then Mega aud Simple beams so you get a neat CM on the next turn and onwards. Overcoat isn't too bad of an ability either, as spore immunity is very valuable under trick room, and Immunity to sandstorm damage is useful enough against Doubles' equivalent of Stall teams (Looking at you, TTar + Tinglu + Wo-Chien + Glimm Hazards stack), while covert cloak is useful at not getting a turn of TR get stalled by Fake out, not get Poisoned by Mortal spin, not getting confused by Hurricane, and other infuriating RNG of the kind. Now in its earliest days, this tea had a heatran here instead. Well lemme say it, go meta go weak-a because this thing after 11 games hadn't killed anything even a rilla. so I changed it for the everlasting GOAT of Fairy types, Enamorus. this mon isn't really walled by anything Meta as Celesteela will lose if not Heavy slam and Heavy slam sets still dont Matchup well into the team in General.
Anyways this is it for the mons, this is a gpated team but idk how hard it is to pilot I js go to the feels of it and it works out, rlly efficient team, I got some replays for the people, with a desc to them ofc bc the RMT feels short otherwise.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9nationaldexdoubles-2257751107?p2 Not a Highest-Level replay, but this is js to show off how bulky Mega audino is and how useful it is in general.
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/...57790005-ewl4miy46c84lxpjoerfr59jlwitafspw?p2 Rain isn't too hard to deal with with Tera water Iron hands, but it's not optimal to Lead with it as Archaludon still menaces it, thus Crippling it Makes the job easier for later, and Wyrdeer ensures Iron Hands doesn't get annoyed in doing its job, thanks to the ever-reliable Hypnosis
I hope I had more High-level Replays but Most of them are Private and contrarily to My game vc Nature's Conqueror I didn't get the time to ask the opps if I could use the replays so if I catch them online I'll ask and then Upload more replays.
I really wanted to do an rmt (even if this is rather a show-off) because damn I made it to top 5 with Wyrdeer of all mons.
