The team
Proof
Teambuilding Process (Not much thought)
I wanted to start off with using a hazard stacking and screen ho team and these are usually my preferred Pokémon for each role. Mew is an amazing hazard lead with rocks and spikes dealing good chip throughout the game, taunt to stop any hazards, status and Defog from slower Pokémon. My last slot was either going to be cc or twave depending on the sweepers I would be using but eventually decided on twave as I felt it would be a little bit more useful. Close Combat is still a good option to catch tyranitar and hydriegon off guard to help blacephalon. Grimmsnarl while not the best screen setter helps with the pult matchups and doesn’t give me hail chip on every mon like Alolan Ninetales would.
These two are the main Pokémon of the team as you can tell by the title. I honestly chose these two because I wanted to use them. Outside of that rachi’s set is easily the most hit or miss pokemon on this team. It’s relatively fast and always has a 20% chance to raise all its stat with ancient power due to serene grace. Cosmic power+weakness policy already has good boosting option and drain punch helps vs darks and regains health on Pokémon like ferro/heatran and more defensive Pokémon like clef or corviknight if you need some. Stored power is the main sweeping move and can get really snowbally. Corviknight is the same set it’s used since dynamax meta. It bulk ups, agilities, power trips and hopes to win its good bulk help it takes many super effective hits even outside of screens.
This is another weakness policy sweeper and is actually really good and underrated imo. While it’s phsydef does suck even under reflect it’s special defense is decent and the amount of defensive Pokémon running knock/ scald help it. Speed boosting too makes it hard to play around and dual stab+stored power is good coverage. It is also a good way to beat stall as most people won’t expect a cm set and you can hopefully get your wp on like pex. Though stall is still hard to beat.
This is for sure the Pokémon you can switch with another sweeper or whatever tbh. It usually just a late game cleaner or a healing wish bot. Mystical fire also adds another way to lower damage to you to help sweeps.
How to use the team
This should be simple. You lead mew and if they can’t ohko you you always twave first if they are faster (or urshifu) or rocks, spikes in whatever order you think Is necessary. If they can ohko you grimmsnarl is the lead/switch in if you still want to lead mew. You then try to get a chance to sweep/break through with one of the 3 and healing wish with Garde or clean with it if you need.

We are almost done
This team is of course weak to what most set up spam teams are. Pult, urshifu, volcarona, toxapex. The point is mainly to catch people off guard which this kinda ruins now but I’m done using this team but w/e. It’s a fun team though I would reccomend using it if you like 10-20 turn games.
