Man-Bat (Gliscor) (M) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 244 HP / 252 Def / 12 SpD
Impish Nature
- Earthquake
- Toxic
- Protect
- Spikes

Probably the most essential 'mon on my team. Switches into anything physical and recovers from it. I usually use Toxic on defensive mons and sweepers and Protect on the wallbreakers. Also handles Sneasler well, due to RNG immunity from Dire Claw.

The Penguin (Empoleon) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Competitive
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Flip Turn
- Surf
- Roost
- Stealth Rock

Despite falling to UU, Empoleon has been very useful on my team as a Bulky Water™ and a slow pivot, usually coming in on Gholdengo's Make It Rain, and Flip Turning after the Shadow Ball or switch. Really helpful on getting Dragapult onto the field.

Ra's Al Ghul (Dragapult) (M) @ Choice Specs
Ability: Infiltrator
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Draco Meteor
- Shadow Ball
- Flamethrower
- U-turn

Speaking of Dragapult, this 'mon has been very helpful in dealing with Substitute sweepers and Aurora Veil HO, usually dropping Dracos and OHKOing many threats. It's also a very helpful revenge killer, eliminating threats like Gholdengo, A-Tales after Hazards, and even Ribombee if its Sash is broken.

Mr. Freeze (Ninetales-Alola) (M) @ Light Clay
Ability: Snow Warning
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Aurora Veil
- Encore
- Freeze-Dry
- Moonblast

A-Tales is also a very useful Screens setter, able to exploit Choice-locked Dragons, Gliscor, and even Ogerpon-Wellspring when pivoted in by Empoleon. Provides damage reduction so Sneasler can SD once Grassy Terrain is up.

Poison Ivy (Rillaboom) (F) @ Choice Band
Ability: Grassy Surge
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Wood Hammer
- Knock Off
- Grassy Glide
- U-turn

Another way of dealing with Ogerpon-Wellspring, any Bulky Water™, or any fast Pokémon or frail Scarfer in general. Uses Knock Off to remove items from any bulky wall that relies on their item for longevity, like Great Tusk, Dondozo, Corviknight, or even Gliscor switching in. It also sets up Grassy Terrain for Sneasler to proc Unburden.

Catwoman (Sneasler) (F) @ Grassy Seed
Ability: Unburden
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Close Combat
- Dire Claw
- Acrobatics

The man, the myth, the legend, the one and only Sneasler! The culprit of many reverse-sweeps that decimate any team that dares to defy it. Usually once its checks are gone this thing mops the floor with the enemy team. I would rather use Gunk Shot, but the 80% accuracy is not very appealing, especially when Dire Claw gives a free Swords Dance when the opponent falls asleep.

Any advice on how to improve? I'm at the high 1200s.
 
Hey, while it's a cool idea in theory, unburden sneasler is used at his best on pure Hyper Offense, where action blows and goes in the span of a moment, therefore, I will sadly have to change your defensive core, but don't worry, there are some cool tools to replace it

Big changes:

:empoleon: -----> :heatran:

Heatran is a more offensive option that will provide you with an Iron Moth check, a fairy resist, a poison inmunity, and utility in potential trapping + rocks, air ballon is to be temporally ground immune and tera grass is for emergency

Heatran @ Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Magma Storm
- Earth Power
- Will-O-Wisp
- Stealth Rock

:gliscor: -----> :ogerpon wellspring:

Ogerpon synergizes well because she loves the weakened/crippled mons, so that she can tank the hit and set up and do damage. You can encore stuff you resist or useless move and generate free momentum and also check manaphy with water absorb. Grassy terrain makes her grass stab stronger, I went with Horn Leech for healing, but you can go with Power Whip if you want pure damage or Trailblaze if you're interested in speed, but I recommend Horn Leech the best

Ogerpon-Wellspring (F) @ Wellspring Mask
Ability: Water Absorb
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Ivy Cudgel
- Horn Leech
- Encore

Small changes:

Change the dragapult set to the sub + hex set, this will help you in capitalizing on status flying around, that heatran and your own pult have, you generated, you can choose between going full burns or mix it up with twave, this will make your attackers have an easier time going monke

Dragapult @ Leftovers
Ability: Infiltrator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 76 Atk / 180 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Substitute
- Thunder Wave / Will-O-Wisp
- Hex
- Dragon Darts

And that's it, I hope you like these changes, and have a good day
