team I built in 2 seconds
the team is on the spritesSo the core was mmaw+gren, and I think spikes are really important for mmaw, so I decided to run the z water on gren, to stack the spikes easier. Z Water and not Dark to bait Heatran, to allow mmaw to pressure easier. Slowking is here as a MLop and Heatran check and can future sight to help gren to pressure things like pex. Lando is my electric immunity, and uturns to have the momentum during the game. I run koff to help bulu against zapdos. The team was 6-0ed by Ashgren, so i added scarfed bulu. Finally, zapdos is a rilla and kart check, and has volt-switch
thanks for reading

Gastrodon is so GOATED bro this shit checks everything: CM Fini, Gren, Volc, Tran, Magnezone Zapdos, Manaphy (without E-ball) all of them just fall in this thing's face. The spread maximizes special bulk while the set's pretty standard just with Clear Smog> EQ or EP to blank out CM Fini, Volc, and Manaphy because fuck losing to those
Kommo-o also GOAT shit I use this on all my teams, this shit is another Gren check, better Tran check, Zard check, another Volc check, rocker, Draco-less Hydra check and even Serp check this shit got so much utility. Set and spread standard just with Rock Slide last for Zards and Volc.
Last mon is another GOAT in SD Fly-Z Lando. Using this shit cos I didn't have a Z mon and I wanted another breaker, and this mon one of the best at doing it, being able to break the like 1 or 2 Grasses that stop Mawgren while also providing more pivoting with U-turn, a soft Lop check, another Volt immune and another Ground immune this shit puts in the business
This is like the only relevant mon that can really win vs this team since the checks are just Corv and Lando but honestly u can pivot around and force it into range of everything so w/e. Lop is kinda the same deal but u can't revenge it w/ Gren. Tho u can just handle that shit w/ Corv and Kommo-o
This the only real big threat to the team since CC/Ice Punch just kinda fucks up everything and Bulk Up is scary as shit. But between Gren, Maw, and Lando u can handle this
. But I more than made up for it with this game, which demonstrates how it can navigate seemingly obnoxious matchups in Mega Lopunny and oddly enough Celesteela

I was actually stuck on what Electric to use for a bit since none of them were vibing with me when someone in the Cord posted a Balloon Xurkitree set that I just kinda vibed with so here we are. Balloon Xurk is a really fun midground vs stuff like Scarf Lando and Gliscor, making them wary of clicking EQ and generally forcing them to resort to stuff like U-turn/Edge/Facade/etc, giving you a free chance to set up a Tail Glow. Where the real fun comes in however is Magnet Rise, since with Magnet Rise u can basically get a second balloon and use the aforementioned mons or even stuff like Z-less Chomp as (somewhat) setup fodder. In terms of moves, T-bolt and HP Ice are the moves of choice, giving you really nice neutral coverage vs just about everything and hitting stupid hard at +3 and with a Modest nature. Modest is chosen to maximize that sick power outfit.
From here on out it's simple shit, with Fini giving the team Defog and a general Dragon/Fighting/Ash Gren/Heatran check. Fini's so fucking good guys
Glowking's here to not only check Clef/Koko, but also just blanket check special attackers, pressure the likes of Ferrothorn and Pex even harder, and fire off nuclear Future Sights that make breaking that much easier
Scizor provides a solid Kart/Lop/Kyurem/Clef check wilst also giving momentum with U-turn and acting as an excellent lategame wincon once Xurk/Glowking blows through all of its checks
This thing is kinda AIDs since it can in theory hax past Glowking but honestly between GLowking, Gren, Scizor, and Lando u should be fine vs this
If this is 3a with Energy Ball and max speed, it just kinda wins, or at the very least forces a major slugfest with Fini and Gren. Anything else can generally be dealt with via Gren/Glowking/Fini
SD Aegislash is the only good Aegislash set anyone who tells you otherwise is a liar. Set's from the compendium
Bulu's here to soft check Mega Chomp and counter/set up on shit like Ash Gren, Chomp, and Gliscor. It also gives Aegi terrain to both heal and set up vs weak Grounds and shit while also benefitting from its ability to break fat Grasses and Psychics and just the kinda stuff that beats this set anyways. The spread is taken from 
Originally this was Corv but I really wanted something that could deal with Lop/Kart/Weavile better longterm while still Defogging and well, this was the best option I had. Defog>Spikes is obvious, spread maximizes physical bulk while letting it creep Mawile though u can go Naskarm to get the jump on Zone or go Shed Shell>Helmet to do that without changing the spread. Helmet is preferred to accumulate chip and because the team really has few ways of actually securing any sort of progress.
I bounced back and forth on this for a while and while the original "final" draft had Moltres since it gave u a (less) Pursuit-weak Zard answer, I ultimately decided to go with Mega Latias since it still gave the team a Zard answer, it gives the team a Kart answer that can outspeed SD sets, it can give a soft Lop check, and a way to deal with Pex. Set and spread are standard stuff.
This thing can annoy the shit out of u if it burns Aegi and Bulu., and Toxic Pex in general is probably the second biggest threat since it can be awful to deal with. However between Bulu/Aegi/Latias u should be able to beat it. Toxic-less Pex never beats you
Weavile is fucking obnoxious to deal with. Skarm can generally deal with it but if that goes down ur relying on midgrounds between Knock and Icicle Crash/Axel and the Ice STAB is far more free. Honestly if u wanna have a better MU vs this, go Moltres, especially if it's Axel since u can burn fish.

: p standart here, Hydrei LO cuz it doesnt need NP to start blowing things up, and also cuz I wanted a hydrei capable of breaking without the Z move support.
+ 
: I slapped those two in order to patching up the weaknesses of my offensive core. Also p standart, Iron Head is a good midground between PWhip for Fini and also Bpress for Rem, and toxic on tom is for Rona
: quite tough to handle if it's a focus blast variant. Scorching sand are easier to handle, so you'll need to keep Hydrei full and setup rocks.
: also a tough threat, even if it's locked you can outplay it. if it's Z you need to force him to waste it by sacking smth and rk with lop.
: Rilla is quite good against that build, he only need to hit a superpower on ferro to start being out of control. But you can outplay it with clef/ferro.
Drill's here to set Rocks, Spin, and do all the shit suicide Drill is supposed to do.
Grimm's here for Screens and to give the team an actual Lop and Gren MU
Volcarona rounds out the team giving it a Grass answer and a potent special sweeper. Set's standard shit except for Giga last which is here for FIni and Gastro
Rain probably 6-0s lmao, as does Sun
