OP stolen from Gen 8 OU Break This Core
Hosted by K302
Co-hosted by Dead by Daylight
Hello and welcome to National Dex OU: Break this Core! In this project you'll be presented with a popular core in the metagame each week and allowed to submit a mon or core of your own to break the presented one.
Every Sunday a popular offensive or defensive core will be posted by your hosts.
Posting will last until Friday where you will have the chance to submit a Pokemon or core to break it.
Rules
- Submission Cycles will last from Sunday to Friday, and Voting Cycles will last from Friday to Sunday.
- You may reserve a Pokemon, however you must state what set you are reserving as well. You will have 12 hours before your reservation becomes invalid and is free to be taken by someone else.
- The same pokemon may be used by different people, however the sets used must be different. For example, if I wanted to submit specs Dragapult, K302 could still use Dragapult, but it would have to be a different set such as DD or Wisp.
- Submissions may only be of Pokemon that are in the current Viability Rankings.
- An explanation is required, although it doesn't have to be too long. Calcs and Replays are not required, however they help to better support your submission and argument.
- Make sure the mons that you've submitted, have viable sets and spreads and can also be prevalent support for a team.
- Please be respectful of others during submission and voting.

Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 HP / 128 Atk / 128 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Power Whip
- Crunch
- Swords Dance
- Synthesis
Tera type Steel to resist stabs of iron crown and inmune to toxic. He can setup free vs lando and vs iron crown.
If iron crown uses psychic noise we Will have more turns to setup and if he dont use It we have sitrus Berry for more turns anyway.
Lando only can hit us with a not very efective u turn so lando IS a free swords dance turn

Pyukumuku @ Leftovers
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Soak
- Toxic
- Rest
- Harden
Game Plan:
If against Iron Crown, tera, soak and then toxic. Rest when necessary. Use harden when possible for a better lando match-up. When lando comes in, toxic and rest and use harden when necessary. Evil, yet it works.
Why Harden?
Because it has more PP than curse.
What about psychic noise?
That's where the tera dark comes in. Tera, and you are immune, so you can rest whenever. Also you are immune to future sight and gain neutrality to volt switch.
