# empty tulip Looking for some help with my team it’s a struggle fest https://pokepast.es/5d69...

umm yea so Grass isnt really great so you'd 100% struggle...though this team in particular has more problems than being just grass

Chloroblast isnt really used for H.Electrode, you're better off using the Sub-Seed-Giga Drain-Discharge set if ever, and you're only using this set to secure an autowin vs Water, else, He's not really good. You can try out someone like wo-chien (lives nonboosted Chien-Pao and Body Presses it to death), or pretty much anyone...left for grass ._.

Amoon needs Spore, not Toxic here, assuming this spread is the one lifted from the dex (survives Gren's Ice beam)

Iron Leaves feels sort of not too good, as this guy specifically beats ground, which H.Lili should already probably cover. Can try out SD Zarude though (with Crunch/Drainpunch/Synthesis or Sub or Taunt whichever last move you want), giving you a steelbreaker.

Not too sure with the colbur on Bramb, as you're still KO'ed by strongie dark moves.

Wide Lens on H.Lili with Victory Dance/CC/Ice Spinner/Leaf Blade or Sleep Powder. Its sort of better than what you have now (you're also not killing H.Lili from missing CC vs missing Axe Kick too)

I hope this helped. cathug

# slender robin https://pokepast.es/4165197b9233db82 Mono fire team

okay so first thing im seeing is the teamcomp is sorta weird
you have no removal whatsoever nor do you have hdb on anything
i recommend removing harcanine, its more of a rock mon anyway, and changing it for rotom-h
OR
make zard mega-x and replace arcanine for torkoal

after that the cinderace set is weird, try using this one:

Cinderace @ Normalium-Z

Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

  • Swords Dance
  • Pyro Ball
  • Double Edge
  • Sucker Punch / High Jump Kick

tran fits ok here but if you're trying to do a more balanced composition (especially if you pick zardx+torkoal) i'd change it for something like volcanion but if you keep zardy + rotom-h its fine
but change dark pulse --> dragon pulse

you can also change psyshock --> hidden power ice on blace

about everything i think

slender robin

Any good rotom h sets you reckon could fit in the team?

# humble cave hi any advice for my nationaldex mono dragon team? https://pokepast.es/6226fb020...

everything seems fine but i'd personally change kyurem to dd bax here cuz it fits lead chomp variants better

i would also change dnite to be banded moon instead or specs hydrei even, you can experiment with dnite, it isnt inherently bad, but banded moon gives more consistent results + fits better

smaller nitpicks
cc --> drain punch, logevity, eases mus

change chomp to be lead rocks:

# civic root is this mono poision team good?

no reason for crobat to be z-moved when it's util; 252 hp/64 def/192 spe is fine since you still outspeed non-scarf gren

haze > bunker on pex

give nidoking flamethrower > fire blast (accuracy + pp helps vs steel, specifically celesteela); stealth rock over ice beam

venusaur is ok i guess? eq for who... tran? only tran? if so, hp fire works vs other steels better

#

w/ haze on pex you can use icium-z so you don't basically autolose to z-kommo

(z-haze can't be taunted 🙂 )

how about gastro replacing volcanion

but then you'd rather not be choiced ursh for the steel mu tho, imo. Aside from that, no spinny/entry hazard removal is scary

# slender robin My mono flying team for nat dex which I feel good about but want to see if there...

okay a few things:

  1. give boots to mantine. change toxic to defog. also give it enough speed evs to outspeeds azumarill (either upto 200 or 220 actual speed ((not evs)) whichever ur comfy with)
  2. 2 steel birbs is redundant, drop corv and make steela physically defensive with leech seed heavy slam protect flamethrower
  3. put a moltres-g instead of corv with just double dance.
  4. i dont personally like lando-i on flying, lando-t is generally better due to making better use of utility, so i'd change it to that, if you keep lando-i tho, change sludge bomb to sludge wave

no need for ribombee, esp since this isnt using webs or QD'ing, can use a rapid spinner like forretress instead or something like araquanid.

Buzzwole, with this set, prefers sub over Taunt, letting you bypass Toxic and predicting.

# slender robin Mono normal national dex https://pokepast.es/cd9bbeff99d75b4b

I think you need to choose HO or Balanced. Clyclizar is good for HO, but doesn't cover things you need in a balanced comp which most of what your team is. I'd drop Cyclizar for a defensive Staraptor. Zoroark is ok, but maybe do Specs/Scarf. Blunder Policy is not worthwhile at all.

Drop Tri Attack for Shadow Ball on Porygon-Z and make Ghost the conversion type (helps v Fighting).

I'd consider dropping Toxic for Teleport on Blissey for the momentum. It helps you to bring in Zoro, Ursaluna and PZ more easily.

Ursaluna probably needs some speed creep (maybe around 174 ish total Speed). I'd also just go 4 attacks and use Drain Punch > SD. Your attack is already high and you'd rather just start putting out damage. It's also worth keeping in mind what Diggersby would do in the slot vs. Ursaluna. Just keep that in mind in games

Z: EQ / Iron Head / SD / Spin

Consider Whirlwind over Toxic on Hippo and make it Def

# slender robin I think i want to commit to HO

https://pokepast.es/05592510fb448775 theres a few angles you can go with this:

  • The primary way is mainly Froslass Spikes plus attackers. You usually want to have Spectrier and Gholdengo. Spectrier is frankly on the cusp of being broken to some and hits very hard. Gholdengo prevents Defog so you can maintain hazards.
  • Mimikyu generally is a ghost HO staple, its ability providing a free turn of setup opportunity and one of ghost's best physical attackers and helps in the dark mu
  • Blacephalon is typically good speed control as a scarfer and cleans quite well late game thanks to beast boost boosting its spatk.
  • Zoroark-H is probably the least necessary mon on ghost HO imo, you could try to fit basculegion as another physical attacker but frankly, I think Ghost is capable of just overwhelming special walls anyway so Zoroark is still good, also is nice in the ghost mirror mu

Z move is quite versatile on the type too, Z-Happy Hour Zoroark, Z gholdengo, Z spectrier, its up to personal preference

  • Dragon Dance
  • Facade / Return
  • Earthquake
  • Roost

  • also i think wake is hella mid and not necessary i'd much rather drop it for scarf latias/latios

  • i would also drop dnite as a dd-er cuz its pretty mid and then you can do one of either:
    IF you want dd moon, get kyurem > dnite
    IF you can drop dd moon, make moon banded and get dd bax > dnite

  • goodra should be curse bpress if ever lo is def not the way to go, id say change it to this: (this is a monotype ev spread i havent smth propely figured out for ndm atm sorry)

# slender robin Mono fighting nat dex https://pokepast.es/dc5f911943ac25f7

would consider scarf sneasler + Specs valiant if ever. You dont need 2 scarfers tbh, an Assault vest Iron Hands might be better over Scarf G.Zappy for a fallback, but this is fine too (esp with the Steel Wing)

Trailblaze over Ice Punch on Urshifu tho, lets you fully own Ground teams + the speedboost is nice. Alternatively, Thunder Punch lets you annoy pex + hit the Mantine [which doesnt have a lot of usage nowadays).

Unsure on Great tusk here, cobalion is great if only for quick taunts + it being a steel type, but keep Tusk if you dont have a mon that can outspeed regieleki.

balmy stream
#

i think keeping tusk is fine but def get hands > gapdos

#

also for val you probably want psyshock > eball
and destiny bond/future sight if ur feeling funky and can pull it off as they're great tools but have a bit more skill cieling

quasi rock
#

eball has a niche specifically because Valiant outspeeds SS M.Pert, and he doesnt have a Grass type/Water resist that lasts long enough

if you really need entry hazard control, can run defog Whims, or spin bramb (its not too bad)

quasi rock
#

you might want body press over protect or iron head over gyro (if you want protect)

empty tulip
#

And for Venu it makes it super bulky

#

Ok I’ll do that

#

also, if you do use Lili

#

you might want a way to win steel, like using EP M.Ven, or really having Zarude

#

SD Zarude eats (non Skarm) steel quite well

stable zinc
quasi rock
#

well gholdengo is an issue to everyone here

#

so

#

you still need someone

balmy stream
#

If you're switching to scarf Meowscarada, Thunder Punch helps against flying types which your team currently has very few answers to

quasi rock
#

flying is dealt with vic dance lili though

empty tulip
#

Yeah that mon is an issue Venu usually gets gholdy for me or arb

quasi rock
#

gholdy overwhelms m.ven in the long run, arb cant hit it

empty tulip
#

I’ll make a scarf meow though

#

Oooo that’s why I used breloom he had bulldoze my bad I’ll look at throwing earth power on Venu

quasi rock
#

EP on M.Ven is more of nailing catran, so that steel doesnt have a safe swap in at all

empty tulip
#

Ok I’ll take off leech seed

quasi rock
#

however, HP Fire deals negative damage to the steel bird and EP to bulky ghold, so you might want something, even just a lure, to beat ghold/steel bird

#

because even if you manage to get H.Lili in

#

Ghold just comes in and kills someone

empty tulip
#

That’s fair is chestnaught any good?

quasi rock
#

its not that good

#

I didn’t think do

#

there's a few checks to ghold, I prefer SD Zarude the most as it also gets past Skele which is a pain too

#

and personally i like cryogonal over avalugg for the speed

#

i’m holding onto abomasnow mainly because baxcalibur really likes the extra defense

stable zinc
#

Yh I would say I prefer cryo over avalugg rn just because freeze dry threatens water

lyric sandal
#

Avalugg is pretty much essential on Ice, use it over Froslass (Ice will never really have space for hazards unfortunately)

#

white herb on cloy is good ye, i typically prefer hydro pump > liquidation but both are good

#

sacred sword > spinner on pao, psychic fangs over swords dance, crash over shard, and scarf

#

and you have a choice of cetitan/glaceon over rotom. ones a really good slush rush abuser while the other helps with water

#

i also sway to 3a offensive abomasnow over spdef since the power from focus blast/earth power can be really nice in the steel matchup

This set may be considered for cyclizar, since hitting something like Specs Valiant for chip goes a long way as its now in range for Scarf wake
#

I'm sort of on the fence with scarf wake here tbh, since Pult with specs isnt that great a user of sub, scarf pult lets you have a pult and free up a slot for Hisui Goodra (for Combatting Fairies) or Baxcalibur (Which is imo, Dragon's best mon rn)

Amoonguss' best set is physically defensive and not AV your team is lacking a physically defensive pokemon that's actually good at handling the metas threats. Arboliva is not that good of a pokemon imo since it doesn't really help in any matchups for grass. I would replace it with either rotom mow or hisui electrode to threaten flying. You could also give hisui lilligant over breloom a shot since victory dance set up also assists in the flying and dragon matchups

#

Some of the sets also need some tweaking around to be as optimal as they can be like breloom if you decide to keep it and meowscarada

balmy stream
#

A few of the sets on your team are currently sub-optimal:

  • Breloom's best move is Spore, which it is much more likely to benefit from than Bulk Up. Rock Tomb does the same as Bulldoze but hits Flying-types, which Grass teams appreciate.
  • AV Amoongus isn't an optimal set either, but if you really wanted to run it then Foul Play would be a better option than Hyper Beam. I don't recommend the set though - something like Rocky Helmet or HDB is much more valuable, and it allows you to run Synthesis for reliable recovery and either Spore or Toxic to weaken the opposing team.
  • Toedscruel would benefit from running Spikes or Spore since its ability ensure that they will always land, even against foes with Magic Bounce.
  • Meowscarada is better run as a fast pivot.

In terms of mons, consider using H-Lilligant and H-Electrode over Breloom and Arboliva (like TTK suggested)

# wanton urchin fighting balance(?) https://pokepast.es/15110e03db1a3f16

seems good so far. here are some suggestions i have:

  • I would definitely try to use sneasler over gallade. Dire Claw is solid vs fairies and its speed tier is much better for a choice scarf.
  • I'm also a fan on 1 electric move on hands, you need space for coverage like rock slide to beat volcarona, which can just set up on fighting and win.
  • trick over shadow ball is also an option to cripple pex, which fighting sometimes struggles to beat

do i get rid of volt switch for rock slide?

yeah, if you'd prefer to keep tpunch for beating pex (which i can recommend as an option)

# modern lava https://pokepast.es/8b076af773850b0d https://pokepast.es/bba92d497426241b https:...

These teams are pretty good! Here are a few changes I would suggest:

  • on the water team, replace dondozo with either gastrodon or quagsire (my preference going to gastrodon) to provide a much needed electric immunity and the possibility to set up rocks

  • your version of sunless fire could work, but you could go for something like Defog Talonflame over Skeledirge to allow you to run a more offensive scarf cinderace set. Also not having arcanine hisui as a wallbreaker or volcanion for the water immunity feels like a waste.

modern lava
#

Yes volcanion is much needed

#

I changed that for heatran because while playing heatran didnt do much

#

Skeledirge is like one of my best mons in my games tho

#

Really puts in a lot of work

#

But gastrodon is a good addition yes

#

yea get an espathra

#

psychic without espathra is not viable

#

actually there's way more problems than that

#

i reckon you take a look at pre home psychic sample once

#

but in general psychic consists of

#

Playstyle: Lead HO (Azelf/Uxie), TSpikes (Glowking), Screens (Uxie/Scream Tail)
Espathra
Indeedee + Armarouge (multiple configs but best one rn is T. Extender + Sash/WP Endure)
Physical Breaker (Hoopa/Gallade)
Flex Slot (Hatterene for Hazard prevention, Cress for overall bulk and longevity, Braviary for Defog, Mew as a surprise Physical or Special breaker, Iron Leaves for more pressure against Water, Gardevoir for an easier time vs Rain)

frosty sphinx
#

what's a breaker?

rugged shore
#

Something that can deal a lot of damage and “break” through opposing mons

screens pult is suboptimal and a pretty big opportunity cost

heyyy

honestly not the worst start, but i have a lot of suggestions. 🙂 i'll pass you a sample and see if you want to go from there first, since you're missing an electric immunity (not 100% needed, but when you're just getting started it's way safer than going rogue w/ none)

https://pokepast.es/4be8d1cc4a2d1a4b

if you want to edit yours, drop basculegion for:

Ability: Swift Swim  
Tera Type: Water  
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe  
Adamant Nature  
- Liquidation  
- Psychic Fangs

urshifu is okay, but you may have better luck with quaquaval (likely need hazard removal on rain)

i would consider dropping rotom and volcanion for samurott-h & toxapex, since you can set hazards & pex is nice on most any water team

```Toxapex @ Heavy-Duty Boots  
Ability: Regenerator  
Tera Type: Poison  
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Def

and instead of scarf wake, use basculegion-f, since it benefits from rain w/ swift swim and has decent coverage (boots or specs w/ hydro pump over sub)

# golden nimbus Thanks for all of the help how does it look now https://pokepast.es/519f4d1628aa...

knock off over hydro pump on pelipper (helpful utility), prob still want pjab over sludge bomb on pex, since specially based opponents can just set up on it and win over time due to less recovery this gen, and might consider gastro over quag (can just duplicate the team and replace it) since you have pex for physdef and if you want the electric immunity, a fatter special side might help.

you can obv test out both and see what you like best/works for you as well

drop decidueye & add gholdengo. you can consider scarf on flutter mane for some sort of speed control (despite having two fast mons, you still want something faster). you can prob drop shadow force on pult if you want to keep it (or replace this slot with zoroark-h or even ceruledge, though this would be my last preference)

#

if you drop shadow force you can use wisp or twave; I’m currently an anti-Pult propagandist but my bestie @balmy stream was typing so maybe he has a better idea

balmy stream
#

My suggestions are pretty much similar to ken's - I also prefer HiZoro to Pult, tho the Pult set you're running still works fine if you insist on using that mon. Decidueye is definitely outclassed by other mons though, and Gholdengo is really appreciated on Ghost. I can tell you were going for hazard removal w/ Defog, but Rapid Spin Brambleghast is a better hazard remover for ghost (which prefers to run something more offensive on that slot anyway)

wanton urchin
#

whats the best set for gholdengo?

balmy stream
#

Usually scarf with 3 moves + trick

#

But it can also run stab + trick + nasty plot

wanton urchin
#

so if i want hazard removal which is the best to replace?

#

i replaced decidueye with ghold

balmy stream
#

If you really wanted hazard removal I think Spectrier, Flutt, Zoroark, Ghold, Mimikyu and Bramble would be fine. That said, I don't really recommend going for the hazard removal slot since it's better used on something like Skeledirge, Dragapult, or even Ceruledge

rugged shore
#

Ghost is usually better off with some bootspam builds over removal since froslass is too predictable/even as a sacrificial lead inconsistent, brambleghast kills momentum, and you’re never using drifblim or oricorio

wanton urchin
rugged shore
#

depends on what you’re building for to be honest- ceruledge or Pult are offensive but can hit/do different things (think dual status or dd pult), ceruledge is good vs steel and can help vs dark, while skeledirge can help vs setup threats

#

fwiw you can make multiple versions of the team and try each out

i would run some speed on kingambit, 132 speed can outrun skeledirge. i also dont think hoopa is too worthwhile if its running scarf, either you can run a special set since you're lacking a special breaker or go greninja or galarian moltres

OK so my aim here is to get a standard normal team going.

  • First option is mega lopunny. Best mon on the type by a long mile thanks to high speed tier high dmg and scrappy.
  • you can go blissey/chansey for the special wall. My preference is chansey nowadays because its bulkier but its vulnerable to hazards unlike boots blissey so up to you on this one.
  • porygon2 would round up the defensive core with staraptor. Staraptor has defog to remove hazards
  • I would add a ditto next because its good speed control + stops setup sweepers/scares the opponent from setting up.
  • your last option can include a special attacker like z move zoroark or z move porygonz or ursaluna to help in the electric mu

If you need movesets and EVs I can assist

hi i'll help
this is overall pretty good but there's some weird spots

  1. Do you WANT to use melm? if yes, make it banded

Melmetal @ Choice Band
Ability: Iron Fist
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 240 HP / 252 Atk / 16 Spe
Adamant Nature

  • Earthquake
  • Double Iron Bash
  • Ice Punch /
  • Thunder Punch

If you are free to changing a mon, i recommend using Scarf Treads as your team lacks any speed control

Iron Treads @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

  • Rapid Spin
  • Iron Head / Volt Switch
  • Earthquake
  • Ice Spinner / Knock Off

  1. Gyro Ball --> Power Whip on Ferrothorn, change Body Press to Protect Or Thunder Wave

  2. For Scizor, I recommend going either AOA or if you wanna be muted, SD Roost 2A

Scizor-Mega @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 116 HP / 252 Atk / 140 Spe
Adamant Nature

  • Swords Dance
  • Trailblaze
  • Bullet Punch
  • Close Combat

or

Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Light Metal
EVs: 248 HP / 48 Def / 212 SpD
Careful Nature

  • Swords Dance
  • Bullet Punch
  • Roost
  • U-turn / Knock Off
  1. Use the standard SpDef tran set:

Heatran @ Heavy-Duty Boots / Leftovers / Air Balloon
Ability: Flash Fire
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 204 HP / 28 Atk / 224 SpD / 52 Spe
Calm Nature

  • Magma Storm
  • Stone Edge
  • Stealth Rock
  • Earth Power

YOU CAN DROP STONE EDGE but make sure to remove the 28 Atk evs and put them into HP. If you drop it, replaceit with Toxic

  1. Okay so we can go a few ways here, IF YOU KEEP MELMETAL, simply make Gholdengo Choice Scarfed, I think that'd be the best

IF YOU REMOVE MELM FOR SCARF TREADS, use a more defensive Z set in:

Gholdengo @ Ghostium Z
Modest Nature
Ability: Good as Gold
EVs: 252 HP / 72 Def / 184 Spe
IVs: 0 Atk

  • Recover
  • Nasty Plot
  • Thunder Wave
  • Hex
  1. Imo make Steela fully physdef, the moves are a-ok

  • Your gholdengo and mega scizor have no natures.
  • I believe this team would be better without the stakataka tbh at this rate water just blows through you so I would replace it with ferrothorn, it provides spikes and are hard to remove thanks to gholdengo.
  • The team is also lacking a physdef wall. Physdef celesteela is preferred over spdef, especially when there's a spdef heatran already

# nocturne plank Flying https://pokepast.es/eb43381ed54c4325

Hmm there are some sets/pokemon here that are a bit sub-optimal. Here are some things to start from square one.

  • Jugulis is mostly outclassed by galarian moltres. Moltres typically goes nasty plot agility hurricane fiery wrath with the flying z crystal
  • lando is a fine pick for flying, we'll save the set for now to see what it needs to do.
  • Physical thundurus with an av isn't particularly the best set. Thundurus t also outclasses regular thundurus thanks to its electric immunity. We'll also save the set on this.
  • celesteela is still going to run the same moves it runs on steel.
  • we can keep the mega aero.
  • togekiss also suffers stiff competition with enamorus.

You can try out defensive pivot landorus with stealth rock uturn knock/toxic eq. Specs thundurus T and scarf enamorus with contrary superpower and healing wish

#

The lack of removal is apparent especially on a type weak to rocks, so you could go defog corv over celesteela to alleviate this issue

hi
let's make you a standard ndm normal shall we

so let's begin by having mlop, you need mlop
use Close Combat, Fake Out, U-Turn, Frustration/Triple Axel

then lets get defensive Staraptor to patch hazard issues, use Brave Bird, Roost, Defog, U-Turn with max hp, 16 speed, the rest in def and +def -spa nature

then lets use blissey as your special wall, give it heavy duty boots, Stealth Rock, Teleport, Softboiled, Seismic Toss

Next up let's pick one of Porygon-Z or Zoroark-H
If Pory-Z use Z-Conversion with Normalium Z
Shadow Ball, Conversion, Thunderbolt, Ice beam
SHADOW BALL MUST BE IN THE FIRST SLOT

If zoro-h, let's do Ghostium OR Normalium-Z or scarf/specs
if ghostium, Nasty Plot, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Dark Pulse/Knock Off/Hyper Voice

if normalium, Happy Hour, Shadow Ball, Focus Blast, Hyper Voice

if scarf uturn shadow ball focus blast trick/knock off

if specs shadow ball focus blast hyper voice/grass knot flamethrower

Now we can be a bit more fatter by using Porygon2
give it eviolite, max physdef, recover, discharge, ice beam, hp fire/toxic/teleport

however, using Ursaluna as a wallbreaker is perfectly fine, if this Flame Orb with Guts, facade, headlong rush, fire punch, drain punch/ice punch

using Diggersby with SD is also fine as it is a bit faster, but Rockium-Z (if you dont use zpz or z-zoro) with Sd Stone Edge Earthquake Quick Attack

lastly we can just go either Choice Scarf Ditto or something like Choice Scarf Diggersby if you picked luna/sd digg/non scarf zoro

I think that's everything for a MLop composition

Interesting start, but some of the mons and sets aren’t great.

Forretress —> Heatran: You don’t need Volt Switch or Rapid Spin support since Iron Treads exists. Heatran lets you complete steel’s immunity core and have a fighting chance against Fire.

I don’t have many more ‘mon changes, but making Klefki it’s utility set instead of DemonKey might be more useful. Also, having Rapid Spin on Iron Treads helps as well.

I ran rapid spin on fortress due to iron treads being scarfed and if I run rapid spin I would have to change that

#

Steel balance/bo literally cannot function without a heatran, before Home came out, Steel was not a consistent type since you had no fire switchin, at least run a hisui goodra if you don't want to run heatran for whatever reason

What should I swap out for heatran?

  • You should add mega sableye as the last mon to make the ghost defensive core. Switching Corsola to physdef and sableye to mixed defences
  • swap out chandelure for scarf blacephalon, better mon in every way
  • dazzling gleam is redundant coverage on gengar when you're running focus blast, better for you to go nasty plot in the last slot.
  • iron head > sclaw on aegislash, shadow claw is too weak and iron head is your best STAB, you already have sneak for priority and also being ghost type.

swap out indeed or staraptor for Ursaluna, which provides the wallbreaking pressure. If you drop Scarf Raptor, Scarf up Indeedee + H.Wish for a second run w/ bear

I'm biased with Choice Band Maushold over Tidy up since Maus never gets the chance to setup, and has access trick to cripple pokemon, but if you dont like this, consider Cyclizar, as guy provides removal and Shed Tail which is valuable for Hisuian Zoro and luna

Generally speaking there is never a single "best" due to the nature of Monotype and how weaknesses work (most of the time). That being said, I think the top types are (in no order) Flying, Dark, Water, Fairy, Steel, Fighting? I'm sure I'm missing some but those ones are all pretty solid choices

putting my team strategy in spoilers in case someone wants to first fight me blind
||my counter to poison in the beginning is kinda bad tbh cause if i know i cant knock them down fast then i just depend on a gambler's hit and hope dire claw sleeps or paralyzes||
||quaquaval is my 2nd mon usually and would use aqua step first safely thanks to sash (hopefully no hazards nor weather) and if i dont trigger sash then i try for endure if i know itll hit me low so i can sweep with reversal||
||im reluctant on making quaquaval my rapid spinner because hes the one i dont want to get hit with hazards so im thkning of making my iron hands rapid spin if it can. it cant :(. so now i ironically am weak to hazards except on the mon they set it up on and yet none of my mons can counter the hazards effectively. i can switch aqua step for rapid spin but i'd lose the powerful stab move and would only work if i switch into him after reading for a hazard setup (e.g glimmora start against sneasler)||

  • Punching Glove on Urshifu with Swords Dance over U-turn
  • Sneasler is better as a scarfer and would rather have Switcheroo/Toxic Spikes and U-turn over Acrobatics and Fake Out
  • You're lacking hazard control and a good physdef option so Great Tusk would be great over Quaquaval with earthquake, knock off/taunt, rapid spin, and Stealth Rock
  • Zamazenta is too good not to use and would be over Pawmot, a Iron Defense, Substitute, Crunch, and Body Press set works well here
#

If you'd still like to use Unburden Sneasler (Use Air Balloon and Swords Dance over Fake Out), Urshifu can be your scarfer with Thunder Punch over Aqua Jet and you can use U-turn again

#

Just a comment but Fighting will always be physically oriented outside of Iron Valiant unfortunately but mixed Lucario can work too

also i may do the swords dance urshifu but i initially used sash cause of how squishy urshifu is some times

wouldnt it be more beneficial to use a more generalized damage source like muscle band or life orb

Anyway Dragapult is legal in Gen 9 ND, use him as he's the fastest strongest mon available for Drag, Scarf Latios is almost outclassed by Scarf Roaring Moon if ever, Kommo-o is better served with Z

For Swampert woes Sub-Roost Kyurem can help there, with Kyurem being a Ice-neutrality too.

Rapid Spin Cyclizar or Defog Latis (Without the scarf) can be a thing, so that you can use M.Zard in peace. Dragonite also prefers boots since getting multscale broken is bad.

Hisui Goodra needs HSlam to fully check fairies, notably letting you murder both Lele and M.Dia on one slot, letting you get more bulk/coverage if ever. Flamethrower is great on her btw

because in that case you can just try the samples

#

but if, like, you want to build around Zam or someone not in the samples we can try

meager copper
quasi rock
# meager copper I do its alakazam hes in my top 3 but I'm not the best at building around a sin...

If Building around Alazakam, well, we first consider the traits guy has. Our options being

  1. Retaining base Zam, allowing us to use a physical wallbreaker like M.Gallade to beat up stuff like Alolan Muk and Celesteela which wall Zam.
  2. Use Mega Alakazam, which provides it with a very nice speedtier, and has trace which lets it flip the script on Water/Ground teams due to getting Swift Swim/Sand Rush
    On both:
    Due to guy's frailty, we sort of want Psychic terrain on him as 1.) It protects us from stinky sucker punch and 2.) It lets us use a very strong Expanding Force if ever (its BP gets doubled under terrain). Tapu Lele is preferred over Indeed as while Indeed has H.Wish + Ghost Immune, Lele's immediate wallbreaking/cleaning capability + Fairy typing is much better, esp against stinky, stinky Dragons and Darks. Lele will usually be your choice scarf user, but if you're using M.Zam, you can use a Z move instead to pulverize M.Zam checks after a Calm Mind.

Aside from Lele, we'd also want something that brings Alakazam in well (as because its frail so cant really get in without getting bopped hard). Stuff like U-turn Celebi (its also great against water, ground, and provides Rocks if you wanted to + beats Hisui Samurott which is fringe but very annoying), Jirachi (Its a steel type which is a good type, has Stealth Rock, etc), Slowbro with Teleport (Walls most physical attackers, and gets u in safely no matter what because of Teleport's mechanic), Galarian Slowking (Has Chilly reception + Tspikes to wear down opponents + absorbs tspikes which is more relevant if using M.Zam) and Victini (A physical attacker yay! Also beats stinky steels which Zam doesnt like) would be a good option. Ideally pick two from what I said

Assuming path 1 is taken:
Focus Sash would be better as with Magic Guard, Alakazam becomes a failsafe that can always live to revenge kill something. In that case, Expanding Force/Focus Blast/Dazzling Gleam or Counter or HP Ice or Shadow Ball (Pick 2) would be great.

Assuming path 2 is taken:
your moveset will likely be Expanding Force/Focus Blast/Energy ball (to kill swampert) or Shadow ball or Nasty Plot or Sball or Dazzling. FBlast + Sball lets you annoy Steel well enough, while FBlast + Dazzling annoys non-Muk Poison.

If you dont have a scarfer by this time, Scarf Latias or Jirachi would be nice as both have HWish, Jirachi can Trick and isnt really pursuit bait, while Latias can defog and revenge kill something like scarf blace.

I hope this helps catclap

I wouldnt replace tusk, he is quite essential to fighting, that said there is room for experimenting wth its sets. A personal favourite is the same set but max speed and attack, soft sand, and headlong rush over earthquakee to blow past poison teams wth ease. Rest of your team is knd of standard but double scarf isnt necessary, id change the valiant to specs. I'd also recommend dropping either urshifu or breloom for iron hands w/assault vest so you can have a temporary sponge for "weaker" moonblasts, such as from scarf enamorus

There really isnt much, flame is usually better than ep on hydrei as you smoke corb, kingambit uses speed to outpace corb as your gameplan vs flying is to kill corb.

Encore is nicer on sab over taunt imo as you lock setuppers, and tinglu can do with whirlwind or ruination, but the set you have isnt bad

Last question: any tips for using froslass in a way that i don't have to sacrifice it to the first mon i see?

#

Not really, Froslass' movepool is sort of made for a suicide lead: Set Spikes, Taunt the Defog user/opposing entry hazard setter, and then spam Will-O-Wisp/Thunder Wave before you try to take down an opponent with you via Destiny Bond.

#

I'm not a huge fan of Froslass in NDM though as I typically rely on Cloyster/Piloswine for entry hazards if ever.

#

(Mostly Piloswine as Choice Scarf Cloyster is quite slow and only slightly helps with Fire)

balmy stream

Wait, does having stealth rock piloswine make froslass redundant?

If you're going screenies there's a huge lack of setuppers here at least, make pao sd and get something like kingambit over ttar

A quicker fix would be going balanced with sab over grimm, then possibly hydrei over goltres as he's more reliable outside screens than kingambit over ttar

Dark doesnt really function without sableye right now, grimmsnarl brings questionable amount of help to the table.

If you are going for a screens playstyle id say drop the scarfer and tinglu and maybe commit to 5 setup mons, only way its worth it.

If you do go the sableye route, drop grimmsnarl for it. From thre its a matter of fixing up sets. The ting-Lu is fine but dropping slam or whirl for spikes is an option. Meow should have Flower Trick, Play Rough, Knock Off, Uturn. Chien, as TTK just said, should have a priority move.

The moltres is like fine I guess but there is a dozen other good options in that slot. Hydreigon, Greninja, Alolan Muk, Hoopa-Unbound all do more work for dark

Cat opinion
S: Would never go wrong using
Dark (You can build for pretty much any matchup, but in return you get no hazard control)
Fairy (Flutter Mane + Setup + Screens + Healing Wish???? = Great type)
Flying (When the Chien-Pao and Kingambit are checked, oh wait that Pao is banded.... anyway, too many good mons to deal with nearly every matchup)

A: Not much can go wrong, but they're not really as dominant
Steel (Gets murked by Water and Flying)
Fighting (Gets murked by Fairy and Dark)

B: They actually have bad matchups, but are still great types
Water (No matchup is 100% easily winnable, but they're doable)
Ground (Bad matchup in Water and Dark)
Ghost (really, really bad Dark matchup, painful Hisuian Samurott Matchup, very easy Fighting, Flying matchups)
Bug (Bad matchup with Water, Steel, not impossible matchup with Flying and Fighting, great vs Fairy and Dark)

C: Dont bring these types if you suspect the ladder is high on the feared type
Dragon (almost always loses to Dark, struggles with Fairy, Fighting, and Ghost, great Ground, Water, Flying, Steel matchup)
Fire (almost always loses to Dragon, Ground, struggles with Water and Fairy, great Bug, Steel, Fighting, Dark matchups)
Poison (Has a tendency to lose to Dark, Flying, Ground, Dragon, but great into Water, Fighting, Bug)
Electric (Its a very ??? type. It can be great for Ground, Steel, Ghost, sort of difficult Fairy and Dark matchups, but Fighting matchup is sort of ._.)

D: (D:)
Psychic (You committed matchup fishing and hope Espathra wins. As if the top types being Ghost and Dark arent a warning enough)
Normal (You like Ursaluna and Hisui Zoroark. Its honestly not that bad, but its just so weird)
Ice (You hope that Steel, Fighting, Fairy doesn't come, but you have a good matchup with Water, Poison, and Ground, so...)
Grass (You used catnip to lure away the Chien-Pao and you hope that no one with a Fire move will punch through you)

Go specially defensive ting lu with leftovers so you can run hazards.
