Ive heard this buzz about a hydrapple torn team taking over high ladder and I couldn't find it to save my life. so I decided to try and make my own. During the process I got slammed, and hard and then I came across toxapex and the pieces kinda just fell into place and now here we are with a team that locks in or denies setup mons and chips the opposing team down so that kingambit or enamorus can sweep. )
Hydrapple @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 96 Def / 32 SpA / 80 SpD / 52 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Draco Meteor
- Giga Drain
- Earth Power
- Nasty Plot
with good bulk and a really nice dual typing and tera steel this set packs a punch. being able to swap into fire/water and tera into dragons this set packs a punch, combined with giga drain and regenerator you are able to chunk out and sustain while swapping between your core three
Tornadus-Therian @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Electric
EVs: 208 HP / 124 SpD / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
- Bleakwind Storm
- Heat Wave
- Knock Off
- U-turn
With great overall coverage AV torn is a force on this team with checks into most meta grass types as well as 2hko enemy kingambit, and u turn to swap in toxapex/apple to keep up the chipping momentum
Toxapex @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 248 HP / 120 Def / 140 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Infestation
- Toxic
- Haze
- Recover
I hate this mon with a passion and thats why im using it in this team. with infestation and toxic combined with haze and recover and regenerator this mon is what setup mons have nightmares about. Oh you want to Swords dance or calm mind? SORRY i ahve 120 def and 140 SpD and you are now posioned and infested and i am pressing recover and haze on repeat while you slowly die and there is NOTHING you can do about it
Kingambit @ Black Glasses
Ability: Supreme Overlord
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Kowtow Cleave
- Iron Head
Its Kingambit what can I say this mon 1taps with and sweeps with sucker and kowtow. I went with black glasses and 252 speed to outspeed other slower kingambits and be able to get kowtow cleave off into mons that would normally be faster than the baloon/leftovers set
Enamorus @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Contrary
Tera Type: Stellar
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Earth Power
- Tera Blast
- Healing Wish
Coming in with some much needed Fairy coverage scarf enamourus servers as my main sweeper and speed control. It outspeeds Zama, dragapult and roaring moon and tera stellar to hit everything in between. healingwish is amazing for bringing back one of your core 3 mons to be able to chip again and set up for a kingambit sweep
Great Tusk @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Headlong Rush
- Ice Spinner
- Rapid Spin
- Knock Off
I dont wanna use great tusk but I dont know what else to use(im going to try sub protect kyu as I post this and then maybe all out ice fang zama),I tried multiple different mons and they just didnt mesh with the team. Great tusk has access to ice spinner and rapid spin which is basically why I chose him
This team is by no means good(i went from 1600 elo to 1100 playing and testing this) but it is fun and at the end of the day maybe the real elo was the fun we had along the way. In all serious this is a team that I wouldn't play at a high elo unless you are super confident in all possible meta and non meta matchups
