Wanted to build a Celesteela team so I did.However don't know how to improve it.
Celesteela @ Leftovers
Ability: Beast Boost
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
- Leech Seed
- Protect
- Heavy Slam
- Flamethrower
Very standard Celesteela set,made it max def because Slowking will be tanking the special hits.This Celesteela has 1v1ed many garchomp and excadrills (unless rock slide flinches you) and overall a very good physical wall. Leech seed for extra heals and chip,you know the deal. Protect to get some free leftovers and leech seed,helps to scout choice users and stalls out weather a bit. Heavy slam does pretty good damage usually around ~40% to neutral targets which prevents Celesteela from becoming too passive.Finally flamethrower to hit things that likes to switch into heavy slam like Ferrothorn.Overall still a very good mon.
Slowking-Galar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 68 SpA / 192 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower
- Future Sight / Psychic
- Sludge Bomb
- Scald / Earthquake
Thought this could be an okay partner for Celesteela since this can take fire blast and thunderbolts for Celesteela while Celesteela can handle earthquakes and u-turns but in practise? Eh I'll give like 6/10 since neither really likes to tank knock offs. Flamethrower to again deal with steels since there's no fire type on this team.Kind of iffy on future sight since everyone is using dark types so it rarely lands for me,I've been using future sight but psychic is probably more helpful here to deal with pex/nido.Sludge bomb is good STAB with a good poison chance,helps with CM fini. Scald for random burns, originally added it to hit Heatrans but those don't end up too well so considering replacing this with eq.
Edit: Tried it out with psychic and eq and make toxapex match ups a bit easier but the Heatran match up is still meh. Changed the spread to
EVs: 248 HP / 144 SpA / 116 SpD Sassy Nature when using psychic and eq,the spa EVs are for ohkoing Nidoking with psychic and the rest in spdef.
Weavile @ Life Orb
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Knock Off
- Triple Axel
- Ice Shard
Next I wanted something fast not not cinderace because I didn't feel it adds anything to the team and also don't like cinderace mirrors. So I picked Weavile, it's speed helps me pick off Tornadus and Cinderaces after some chip though the bulk up sets are harder to deal with. Tried using protective pads and boots but Weavile's damage was really lackluster with those so ended up using life orb. Typical set up set with SD,knock off to remove items,triple axel can 2hko clef if all hit connects and ice shard for priority.
Garchomp @ Life Orb
Ability: Rough Skin
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Fire Blast
- Draco Meteor
Noticed that I'm 3 mons in and still have no rocker but also wanted a ground type because bolt beaks were relatively free and being a ground type at least makes then hesitate. Don't know where I took this from but this set is great,I usually lead this and just click draco which does like 90% to lando and has a 30% to ohko Urshifu(Idk people lead that against me). Fire blast for Ferros/steels that's immune to ground and Ohkos Buzzwole.Earthquake for STAB and stealth rock is stealth rock.
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 48 Def / 208 SpD
Careful Nature
- Knock Off
- Power Whip / Bullet Seed
- Leech Seed
- Spikes
No rain answer is a concern so Ferrothorn is a nice fit. Spdef to take 2 hits from specs spectrier and dump the rest in defence.Knock off to remove items from clef and birds that likes to switch in.Power whip to hit waters and is generally a good stab move.Leech seed I've already explain with Celesteela and spikes is for when you already clicked the 3 moves above don't still dont feel like switching out. For the item i chose rocky helmet to make mons with contact moves easier to deal like Melmetal,Swampert and Arctozolt/Dracozolt though you have to be weary of fire blast from the latter and these little chip helps out late game so Weavile,Garchomp or Fini can clean late game.
Edit: So I was trying to big brain a way to beat Suicunes and I came up with an answer and it's name is bullet seed Ferrothorn,48pp means it's very hard to stall out though not impossible and along with Tapu Fini,it can't get burned. The best part is that if you get 3 hits then 2 hits can break the sub and the 3rd can deal some damage and can get free spikes on the protect. EVs: 252 HP / 16 Atk / 32 Def / 208 SpD, 16 attack turns 31% to break max hp no defence suicune's sub with 2 hits to 81% chance. Funny replay against block+spite Pex with bullet seed Ferro. Replay that shows it beating Suicune (Granted I was a bit lucky and made some bad plays).
Tapu Fini @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Misty Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Defog
- Trick
- Surf
- Moonblast
This used to be a Weezing but I later swapped to Fini because fire types are a massive issue to this team. Scarfed for another way to revenge fire types and urshifu and with trick it makes dealing with defensive cores much easier. This is my only hazard removal and it's decent at it and the last two moves are just STAB.The misty terrain here is helpful for Weavile spamming triple axel and not get statused by the birds and generally is just a good glue mon for this team.
Fire types like Cinderace,Volc and Heatran. Chomp and Fini can get worn down really quickly that these mons can just clean late game .
Bulky waters such as Pex and Suicune are difficult to take down without Fini tricking them and Fini can't even trick Suicune because of protect/sub.
Any Spectrier set. No ghost resist in tough and sub plot/sub cm is basically auto lose but you can revenge choice sets with weavile.
Urshifu. A well played Urshifu can just destroy this team with just wicked blow and if it's paired with teleport then it's even worst.

Peak with the team
Any feedback appreciated.
