(click sprites for paste :)
Never done an RMT before so sorry if this is a bit messy, but I got a nice peak with this and it won all my SV Ubers Homefield matches and hopefully I can spread the Miraidon hate to more people qwq
Proof of peak:
GXE PEAK 92.7% by 8142e33 (also damn top 3 is all garg :3)
Building Process:
When the dlc2 sample teams came out I first tried the Specs Miraidon one and actually liked it a lot. Until I ran into a Gliscor and it spiked all over the team and I got 6-0d that is. So I edited it to make it more hazard resilient and ended up with a Miraidon Semistall
. This took me to the 1700s but there were still some common mons that it struggled with like knock off NDM, Tera Ghost Pivot Miraidon, and the nightmare that is Offensive Substitute Ho-oh. Ho-oh safely subbed up on every mon that wasn‘t Miraidon and 2hko'd everything with Tera Flying Brave Bird. At first I thought Tera Electric Ho-oh would be enough to stop it but it just burned and pp stalled me. It was a basically unwinnable matchup.I was kinda lost on what to do for a while but then my friend 8142e33 showed me a replay of him cooking high ladder with with an ubersless stall team that had Garganacl. Garganacl THE MOST PERFECT HO-OH COUNTER IN THE GAME. I though I might as well commit to stall at this point so I put it over Miraidon and also cut out Arceus for Skarmory, an NDM check that absorbed knock off and had spikes so I could free up a slot for Taunt on my Gliscor to help in stall mirrors. Finally I wanted to do something about the Ho-oh slot since I didn't need to to Tera Electric and pretent to check opposing Ho-oh anymore. I needed a mon to deal with pivot Mirai and Deoxys-Attack while helping do things like scout out Koraidon movesets, which is why i chose... Ho-oh o_o But this time with a more specially defensive spread to take on Tera Dragon Miraidon and Life Orb Deo-a better, and with its typing and the leftover defense EVs it could still scout out Korai pretty well. So that's how I ended up with these 6 and now let's get into the individual sets >:D
The Team:
Stalwart Shell (Garganacl) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Purifying Salt
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Salt Cure
- Recover
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
The star of the show! Garg is here mainly to counter offensive sub Ho-oh and use defensive Ho-oh as entry points to annoy the opponent with salt cure. Thanks to it, Ho-oh can Tera Grass without worrying about opposing Ho-oh in a lot of matchups so it's more important than you think. Max physdef helps you take tera ground Earthquake from the few defensive Ho-oh's that use it and Boots is mandatory as this team has no hazard removal. Salt cure and recover are pretty standard and for the last two moves I have Iron Defense and Body Press. This can help check Calyrex-Ice (which you outspeed if they are using the standard Brave Nature with 0/1 speed IVs) Kyurem-Black (usually a very scary mon for stall do deal with) and also helps in rare cases where Skele was unexpectedly KO'd early so you need to Tera Garg to check SD Korai. And if you're expecting a Caly-I lead from your opponent to counter lead Gliscor you can lead with Garg too. Garg can also use Giratina-O trying to enter and Defog as a chance to get a free Salt Cure since you are immune to status and resist Ghost thanks to your ability. For the Tera Type I wanted something to resist Korai's Low Kick while not being weak to Zacian and NDM's steel moves so I chose Ghost, which also gave me a spin blocker if i really needed it in the Treads matchup.
some Garg calcs:
0 Atk Tera Ground Ho-Oh Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Garganacl: 164-194 (40.5 - 48%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ Atk Tera Flying Ho-Oh Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Garganacl: 86-102 (21.2 - 25.2%) -- 0.1% chance to 4HKO
252+ Atk Tera Flying Ho-Oh Earthquake vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Garganacl: 146-172 (36.1 - 42.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
252+ Atk Tera Flying Ho-Oh Brave Bird vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Tera Ghost Garganacl: 172-204 (42.5 - 50.4%) -- 1.2% chance to 2HKO
Thorns of Agony (Gliscor) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy/Water/Ghost
EVs: 244 HP / 216 SpD / 48 Spe
Careful Nature
- Protect
- Toxic Spikes
- Taunt
- Knock Off
Spdef Gliscor The GOAT. The Knock Off dealer and main absorber of the team. We all know what Protect and Knock Off do, Tspikes is only here cuz I don't have any other mons to set them (and trust me, you need them when facing koraidon) and taunt is just to help the stall mirror matchup a bit and occasionally Taunt a Corviknigh trying to Defog. the EVs are kinda perfect because 244 HP +216 Spdef lets you live timid Draco from Miraidon even after rocks, and the leftover 48 EVs lets you juuuuust outspeed the common 44 speed EVs gliscor. You're also still bulky enough to safely Knock Off Loaded Dice from a non-boosted Scale Shot Korai which can be crucial to let Skelefraud check it properly. In most cases this will be your lead just so you can get your toxic orb activated safely but there are some matchups where you dont lead it that I will explain later. Gliscor's Tera is rather flexible. You can go Fairy if you're scared of Mirai like me, Water if you want to knock off Kyogre more safely, or Ghost if you hate Treads spinning.
Steady Body (Skarmory) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Sturdy
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Roost
- Iron Defense
- Body Press
- Spikes
Fuck Knock Off NDM. Skarm is the best NDM check in the game that can afford losing its item, and it's also the only Kingambit check on the team. This is just the standard IronPress set but with Boots over Helmet or Lefties to preserve health if your opponent is trying to make double switches. You can also use it to scout out if opposing Treads has Ice Spinner if you're really paranoid. Skarm is also here to scout out Arceus-Ground because it can be difficult to tell if it's a special CM set or physical DD set from preview. Tera Dark helps in last mon stored power scenarios and can also save you against an already boosted Kingambit's Kowtow Cleave.
(also shoutout to whoever Fwocrown on the ladder is for showing me other ways to use the Tera: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9ubers-2166475317-06o7op5eat7mu285vrpmbu6qavjgqoupw too bad I ran into this fake ass NDM set before and I'm never losing to it again)
Mark of Pride (Ho-Oh) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 248 HP / 84 Def / 156 SpD / 20 Spe
Careful Nature
- Earthquake
- Brave Bird
- Whirlwind
- Recover
The Savior. There are SO MANY matchups that would be unwinnable if not for Tera Grass Ho-oh. With Tera you completely wall pivot Mirai and can threaten it back with an Earthquake 2hko. The spdef EVs are slightly copium but you can live +6 Modest Dragon Pulse from Mirai outside of terrain so you can phaze it out (The Tera Ghost CM Mirai trauma is real ;-;) and you live more common stuff like 2 Tera Dragon Dracos from Mirai and 2 Lorb Psycho Boosts from Deo-a. 20 speed EVs just to creep a bit and rest is dumped into defense to scout Korai and check defensive Ho-oh if you're worried about Earthquake sniping Garg. Another thing is that you can lead this into Boots Ogre+Boots Mirai teams, if they lead Ogre or Mirai trying to catch Gliscor you can just tera and hit them, and if they lead Korai you can attack on the U-turn or go Gliscor to get your Toxic Orb safely as usual.
Ho-oh calcs:
+6 252+ SpA Miraidon Dragon Pulse vs. 248 HP / 156+ SpD Ho-Oh: 351-414 (84.5 - 99.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Hadron Engine Tera Dragon Miraidon Draco Meteor over 2 turns vs. 248 HP / 156+ SpD Tera Grass Ho-Oh: 328-388 (79 - 93.4%) -- not a KO
176+ SpA Kyogre Ice Beam vs. 248 HP / 156+ SpD Tera Grass Ho-Oh: 130-154 (31.3 - 37.1%) -- 76.6% chance to 3HKO
Unbreakable Heart (Blissey) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Natural Cure
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Seismic Toss
- Stealth Rock
- Calm Mind
- Soft-Boiled
egg. Really not much to talk about here, very standard set with Seismic, Rocks, CM, and Soft Boiled. The sample set for ubers Blissey uses Tera Ground, but if you use stall, you know you need grass to beat both Mirai and Ogre. Just like Ho-oh, you can lead Blissey if you're expecting your opponent to counter lead Gliscor with Ogre.
Carefree Melody (Skeledirge) @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Unaware
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Torch Song
- Will-O-Wisp
- Earth Power
- Slack Off
SKELEFRAUD. I chose to keep Skele over Dondozo on this stall because Dozo without Alomomola Wish passing in ubers is just waaaay to vulnerable to Mirai's terrain blocking your Rest (and I know you can just Tera Flying but You need to Tera Ho-oh in so many matchups that its just not worth it). While this may seem like the main Korai answer on the team, NEVER switch it into a Scale Shot Korai unless you knocked its Dice first or if you're sure you can get it in on a Flare Blitz/SD. This is also the Zacian check so please dont Tera Fairy Skele before dealing with Zac. Caly-I can be somewhat dealt with by Garg and Skarm but if it's boosted up already then just go skele and try to play the mind game of if they switch or Tera Fire and if you should Wisp or Slack off. Another thing Skele normally checks is Ekiller, but if they have a Korai in the back and you want to preserve Skele HP, you can just go to your trusty Garg and Salt Cure chip it down.
Skelefraud calc:
252 Atk Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon Scale Shot (5 hits) vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Skeledirge: 210-245 (50.9 - 59.4%) -- approx. 2HKO
Threatlist:
Taunt Bulk Up Arceus. The moment BU is revealed, go hard Garg and Salt Cure and then to Skarmory to stall it, don't let this thing get out of hand.
SD Scale Shot Koraidon. This will always be a threat but you need Tspikes ASAP, try to stall out sun, and best case scenario you knock it off and now Skele can check it rather safely. Taunt CM Tera Dragon/Lorb Miraidon. can easily overwhelm both Blissey and Ho-oh, again Tspikes ASAP.
& 
Seismic Toss immune and Meteor Beam. Might have to sack a mon to get in Ho-oh and Whirlwind or if they came in on Ho-oh expecting to Meteor Beam KO you, just Tera Grass immediately and Whirlwind them out.
Rapid Spin. Annoying but you can deal by just chipping it with Knock Off and forcing it back in to take more hits by getting hazards up.
Rock Slide. Scout out the set by baiting a Psycho Boost into Blissey or Ho-oh and then go hard to Skarm to wall the incoming physical move.
Infinite PP. Don't spam Knock off with Gliscor when your opponent has it, you get rid of the scarf and then it starts harassing you with taunt speed tie bs ;-;
Specs and Tera Ghost CM. Both are rarer sets and both need you to sack Blissey and Tera Grass Ho-oh which makes you a lot weaker on the special side.
Tera Blast Fire. Fakest set of all time but watch out for it on ladder, if Skarm goes down, NDM can easily sweep.Replays:
