Given I strong armed my way into getting Bellibolt into the teambuilding competition, it's only fair I submit a team for the fans:
This submission is a slight modification of a team I used in RUPL in week three, which is a ParaSpam team that tries to get Gengar behind a substitute and win by spamming boosted Hex's. I'll explain some of the sets below:
Bellibolt - Bellibolt uses a standard Rocky Helmet Static set to punish U-Turns and physical attackers. I EV'd to outspeed Hippo to allow me to Muddy Water / Toxic it if needed, and I also run Volt Switch for slow pivots.
Cyclizar - We know what this does, though I run a Dragon Tail set here to phaze setup mons like Slowbro.
Gengar - Encore and Substitute, when coupled with ParaSpam, is insanely good for a mon so naturally strong and fast.
Infernape - This slot was always my most indecisive, but the monke is generally good and can break a lot of teams through its strong STAB's or Switcheroo shenanigans.
Jirachi - Another RU staple, Jirachi serves a support role here, EV'd to outspeed Mimikyu with Tera Normal for if I need it into HO. Standard Rocks / Twave - could maybe opt for Wish over U-Turn but 4mss is real.
Slowbro - Anotherrrr RU staple, Slowbro is another support mon here. I tested CM sets over Thunder Wave but felt like it wasn't nearly as valuable, though it might be different now in a meta without Thundurus-Therian, Iron Leaves and Enamorus-Therian.
