Cinderace is on fire, you're only winning fire if Bax setups. In that case bax will be faster

stable zinc
#

There's also screens so everyone does less dmg anyway

#

And a scarf meow clicking flower trick is hardwalled by bax and made into set up fodder

Should i put focus sash on ninetales to live a kommo-o flamethrower?

No

You just live it by deafult

Really? Last time i switched in on a boosted kommo-o i just got ohkoed

You swap it when you think it might go clanging

Alternatively, you straight up murder it with bax

Thanks toy, definitely try it out. I was thinking of running gholdengo with air ballon and nasty plot. Gengar felt like a powerful choice with sludge bomb. He’s come in handy a few battles.

stable zinc
#

Yeah, ghost is a type that has a lot of mons that just do the same thing. Gengar isn't a bad pokemon individually and can definitely do some stuff especially in the Fairy mu but yeah spectrier is generally seen as better since 130 speed is kinda big and its snowball potential

quasi rock
#

Also sashy on the cerul or weakness policy imo
Missing gholdengo too, which trivializes bulkier matchups like poison

https://pokepast.es/8e9d5d8e1f820f79 Wanted to try bulding Fire without Sun, testing out a concept with an underused Pokemon that is Delphox. Despite it not being used and not being present on the Viability Rankings, I think it can be useful because of the utility of Reflect/Light Screen + Wish. Screens allow Volcarona and Iron Moth easy entry and Wish allows common Fire-types that usually can't heal up to recover their health, Heatran and Volcanion looking to be more effective with this. Right now I could consider Heatran switching Air Balloon to Shuca Berry to promote longevity or just straight up give it another item that has nothing to do with attempting to counter Ground-type moves.

Booster is banned meow

#

You're better off with setting up paldean tauros tho, and you're missing a scarfy

Morning sun on volcaroo would go a long way too, methinks

Ngl I think you might get some mileage with these guys:

Ability: Flame Body  
Tera Type: Bug  
EVs: 236 HP / 228 Def / 44 Spe  
Timid Nature  
- Fiery Dance  
- Psychic / Will-o-Wisp / Giga Drain 
- Morning Sun  
- Quiver Dance```

Outspeeds Chien-Pao at +1, bulky enough to never be 2HKO'ed by Scarf Treads

```Tauros-Paldea-Blaze (M) @ Leftovers  
Ability: Intimidate  
Tera Type: Fighting  
EVs: 32 HP / 116 Atk / 184 Def / 4 SpD / 172 Spe  
Impish Nature  
- Bulk Up  
- Body Press  
- Raging Bull / Flame Charge
- Substitute / Flame Charge / Stone Edge```

Relevant Calcs:

```184+ Def Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Body Press vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Kingambit: 408-480 (100.9 - 118.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO [Always clears kingambit, which cleans Fire late-game]

+1 116 Atk Tauros-Paldea-Blaze Raging Bull vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Sableye: 153-180 (50.3 - 59.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO [Drop the Atk if using Flame Charge, I think. You're never breaking Sabby with it]```

Substitute eases the need for predicts and can help you in Dark and Steel matchups too, Stone Edge cuts through Moltres (Flying). Outspeeds Heatran
#

Iron Moth is the scarfer as guy's fast enough to bust through common scarfers like Enam, Treads, and is strongie enough to clean types. U-turn is pretty whatever, can be Discharge or Dazzling if you wanted to. Alternatively, you can use Scarf Cinderace (it still gets Gunk, aside from Libero being stronk + Outspeeds Val), but up to you.

I am convinced that Screens Fire probably appreciates Armarogue though, because it can beat Poison (Which Volcarona is shaky against given Toxic + Inability to deal heavy damage immediately unlike Arma). But, this is really just cat meowing, feel free to ignore this paragraph lol.

As for Volcanion, Cinderace fighting for a slot (since last one is the screener anyway). Volcanion might be better due to Cinderace's Court change not changing much since your setup is boots/neutral into rocks anyway. Also might be able to forcibly remove a check under screenies, but not too sure. Maybe you can drop Heatran and just add HSlam on Volcanion, since you can even use something like H.Arca for emergency rocks (that hit hard / is cleaner too). On the other hand, Cinderace has Gunk + Sucker + Pivoting on top of Court Change + Speed Tier, but comes at a cost of being unable to deal with Azu.

Also, have you ever tried NP Delphox? that might be its better niche (since Screens Rotom probably does the job bar the wish part better)

or perhaps keep samurott and go scarf wake instead to have a consistent physical breaker

quasi rock
#

notably, cant remove hazards

#

also missing well...a lot of stuff

#

do you really want to make a dark stall team, or just go balanced/offense?

jade breach
#

I just tossed it together as a joke

#

The only types I really play are rock, bug and steel

#

Speaking of rock however

#

Months ago before the dlc when I played more often

quasi rock
#

because even out of sand, the doggo has a competent-ish speed tier

#

Band Hisuian Arca also appreciates being able use Extreme Speed, because CB Espeed is great at picking off stuff because it stronk, and there's a few targets that hate wild charge but not CC or Head Smash

#

Corrosion Glimm also wants toxic, because Mortal Spin still cant hit steel types (which is half the reason why you'd want to even want to use corrosion)

#

notable drops post DLC is the Ogrepon-Cornerstone for Rock tho, giving you a slight chance against rainless water if you want to try him

jade breach
#

Not sure what to drop on glimm

#

I also for the life of me can't remember why I put avalanche on ttar but I know it was to shore up some really specific matchup that was good at the time

quasi rock
#

Heavy Slam + Low Kick would be nice

#

Low Kick needs you to invest a few speed so you can nab the kill on Kingambit tho

#

Heavy Slam for Flutter / Hatt is nice too

jade breach
#

So, it would be 56 spe and 76 adamant atk to outspeed and kill kingambit with low kick

#

Ability: Sand Stream

Tera Type: Rock
EVs: 252 HP / 76 Atk / 4 Def / 120 SpD / 56 Spe

Here's what I have atm

#

(the names are all deeprock galactic references)

quasi rock
#

that can work

#

Cool beans

#

Beans that are cool

#

So question? Why do I need extra speed on lycanroc if I can outspeed regieleki with 60 under sand?

#

Is it just for when I'm not in it?

quasi rock
#

yea, its important since its not smooth rock ttar either

#

and you might even outspeed scarf meowscarada under sand

jade breach
#

100 speed does that

#

The problem is meowscarada will always OHKO with flower trick

#

If that wasn't the case then I could run that

#

Btw, still unsure of what to drop on glimm

quasi rock
jade breach
#

Ok fair enough

#

Not enough bulk for investment to mean too much

#

Ya won me over

quasi rock
#

also max adamant is exactly 323 (out of sand)

#

322 is Urshifus :o

jade breach
#

Actually?

#

Huh

#

Screw that kungfu panda

#

Also, I tried the sample team and I love coalassal on it

#

The other thing I learned from that battle was that I hate rock moves so much

#

3 missed stone axes in a row, a missed stone edge

#

The battle before that I missed a crucial diamond storm

quasi rock
jade breach
#

I know, I wanna drop something from the team but I'm unsure what

#

Randomly, why does AV hisuian goodra hit unreasonably hard for being so bulky?

#

I don't know if it actually is but it always feels like that

quasi rock
jade breach
#

110 sp.atk

#

Also gets draco, fire blast and hydro pump for strong moves

#

Also 150 sp.def with AV answers why it's so bulky

jade breach

So, I've found a mild problem

#

SD scizor is painful

ogerpon should have grass coverage over tera blast

horn leech / power whip

heatran wants max speed over hp and air balloon + stealth rock and magma storm over eruption and will-o

#

u-turn over acrobatics on cinder and hdb over berry

hdb on volcanion and defog over flame

#

victini scarf > band and trick over zen

#

would personally use volcarona > ogerpon but i dont think it'll hurt the team's success

quasi rock
#

ogerpon is a bit nicer than volcaroo imo

quasi rock
# tight pawn This is nat dex mono fire lmk what i should change https://pokepast.es/b41e6460f...

this team is missing a scarfer tho, Zard-Y is a bit iffy to use because ideally your sun setter should be able to pop in and out as often as possible, though thats fine if you're on a Ogerpon team Ig

Court change cindy should be boots, Victini sort of overlaps with Ogrepon, so you might want to use Scarf Blace (or Iron Moth can work too if you want) for speed control/Cleaning once Pon and Zard breaks down the opposing team

If using volcanion, make sure to hit 200 speed minimum for Azumarill, else you can use a Volcarona if you'd like

Heatran prefers to have stealth rocks tho, so that you have some chip before ogerpon does her thing

Horn Leech>Tera Blast on pon as said above too

a more offensive version of this would include grimmsnarl to set dual screens and getting a galarian moltres on the team as well, utilising the nasty plot + agility set with a z move. You can swap mandibuzz with moltres and grimmsnarl with ting lu. If you dont want to drop hazards, mega sableye is probably the mon of choice to drop imo and keep ting lu to get up hazards or go samurott hisui for spikes

# slender robin https://pokepast.es/611ce1e3fb6061b0 NDM rock balance team

ill take into account that you're doing the core ladder challenge for NDM so you have to use ogerpon and terrakion. First thing is close combat > Wild Charge on arcanine, wild charge is redundant coverage since flyings are hit by STAB and its still weaker than head smash on waters. i would probably drop minior for ttar rocks

slender robin

what about the ground mu?

Replaced light clay on ninetales with icy rock. Also decided to replace cloyster with walrein since gen 7 smogon says it better deals with mega scizor and ferrothorn clueless

Cloyster is much better than Walrein as it uses Hidden Power Fire just as well

  • Shell Smash
  • Hydro Pump
  • Hidden Power Fire

#

I'd probably use a scarfer like gdarm or weavile over Frosmoth

balmy stream
#

Btw, should i replace someone with a rapid spinner? I feel like since my team is ice i need at least someone to get rid of stealth rock

#

Maybe cloyster should take that role? Idk

lyric sandal
#

You can use Avalugg

balmy stream
#

Avalugg as a rapid spinner?

#

Isn't sandslash alola better?

balmy stream
#

Also isn't walrein better as a scizor check for the additional special bulk? If i'm not gonna put rapid spin on cloyster?

Defog Articuno tho

Also shouldn't cloyster have rapid spin or is it another mon?

quasi rock
#

and Defog moth is bad because it cant roost nor pivot out

lyric sandal
#

And yeah you can use Rapid Spin but that's the defensive set

balmy stream
#

Seems like walrein or lapras can deal with it much easier

#

Though lapras doesn't deal with dondozo

#

I mean ninetales can deal with it so i guess it doesn't matter

quasi rock
#

You arent meant to deal with stuff defensively

#

Ice is inherently quite frail but very offensive, you can capitalize on that

Or just no rapid spinner?

Baxcalibur

balmy stream
#

Is there a set that mitigates this?

quasi rock
#

Baxcalibur has thermal exchange

#

=cant be burned

balmy stream
#

Oh clueless

#

Didn't know that's how it worked

quasi rock
#

Though torch song against bax is quite shaky because Bax himself only barely 2hkoes Skele

#

But you can finish it off that way if its that low

#

If this is fire though we sort of usually lose anyway without shell smash cloy

#

But against ghost getting skele out of the way means you usually will win atp

balmy stream
#

I'm looking at the calcs here, and it seems like this cloyster set doesn't deal with scizor that well. It basically comes down to if the scizor switches into cloyster cloyster wins and if cloyster switches into scizor scizor wins

#

Because the turn cloyster uses to get in scizor sds and ends up killing cloyster with 50% HP

balmy stream
#

Is there a set that uses both shell smash and rapid spin?

lyric sandal
#

+2 252 SpA Cloyster Hidden Power Fire vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Scizor-Mega: 392-464 (113.9 - 134.8%) -- guaranteed OHKO

balmy stream
#

The set i'm looking at says +2 0 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Cloyster: 165-195 (68.4 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO and +2 252 SpA Cloyster Hidden Power Fire vs. 248 HP / 244 SpD Scizor-Mega: 316-372 (92.1 - 108.4%) -- 50% chance to OHKO

#

Because the OU swords dance set seems more prevalent

quasi rock
balmy stream
#

If we assume that we have a full hp cloyster on a field with snow vs a scizor with +2 then +2 0 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Cloyster in Snow: 75-88 (31.1 - 36.5%) -- 62.3% chance to 3HKO

#

So it's a guarantee that cloyster wins if there is snow for at least one turn, tho it doesn't get to do shell smash kindasus

#

If it tries shell smashing on scizor even on snow it gets +2 0 Atk Technician Scizor-Mega Bullet Punch vs. -1 0 HP / 0 Def Cloyster in Snow: 109-130 (45.2 - 53.9%) -- 46.5% chance to 2HKO meaning it dies next turn to bullet punch

#

Maybe the defensive set is better? It gets no shell smash but it can guarantee a win against scizor + rapid spin

quasi rock
#

(Take note that they can just swap tp heatran either way)

#

You can use the defensive set if it makes you feel better though

#

But highly suggest to just not think of scizor too much

Hello! Just wanted to get some opinions on how to modify my Fairy team further, since it's my strongest team at the moment and I want to make it even stronger before revising my other teams.

My one stipulation, however, is that I'd like to not have any legendary or mythical Pokemon suggested to me as potential revisions. It may seem irrational of me to ask for no legendary or mythical Pokemon, but I can't help but feel like I'm cheating if I use one on my team. Paradox Pokemon are okay with me, though.

Thank you in advance!

Going hatterene could also free up specs on flutter Mane to break harder though boots is still fine and go scarf valiant for speed control

tepid warren
#

I agree, Hatterene also allows for hazard control

#

Azumarill or mimikyu could also help a lot, your team needs a bit more firepower

#

I’d also recommend this set for iron valiant

  • Close Combat
  • Knock Off
  • Trick
  • Ice Punch
#

If you don’t like trick you could do a different move, like fire punch or shadow sneak, but I wouldn’t recommend thunder punch because you already have thunderbolt on flutter mane

carmine bear
#

Okay, these suggestions do make sense. I do have to ask though; if I should drop Tinkaton because of Klefki, should I drop Flutter Mane if I add Mimikyu?

tepid warren
#

If you’re worried about type overlap you could use azumarill instead

stable zinc
#

In my eyes double ghost/fairy is better than double steel/fairy because the only weakness being added is to ghost and that's a two way street but 2 steels makes fire have a field day and bug has an easier mu and also ground as well

#

Azu is the mid ground ofc

carmine bear
#

I'm not necessarily worried about type overlap, per se. It's just that since the recommendation to get rid of a Steel/Fairy Pokemon on my team is there because of there already being one in the team, I thought that might be something to consider.

#

Iron Valiant is definitely something I was considering changing though, so getting suggestions for them specifically does help.

#

I'll play around with these suggestions to see what works best for my style and what doesn't. Thank you!

tepid warren
#

Yeah, that’s an important part of the whole@process

#

Actually playing with the team and seeing what works and what doesn’t

Good luck and let us know how it goes

your team looks pretty solid, but appears to get owned by hazards itself. you might want to include taunt on samurott (instead of aqua jet maybe) and consider adding a quaquaval to help remove hazards on your side of the field

I think I should just drop hamu for hazard removal

tepid warren
#

that looks pretty good to me

#

you will have to be careful with psychic moves, as you have 2 weaknesses, but greninja should be good into them

#

and of course you will have to be careful with fairy type moves, as you have 3 weaknesses - but the quaquaval spread allows for flutter mane to be outsped after 1 boost

#

but toxapex should be able to beat most fairies

#

make sure you know what the quaquaval spread does, as its a bit complicated

agile flax
tepid warren
#

can i ask why you have HP Steel?

agile flax
#

Made this team a bit ago and I think I did it for rock and ice coverage

#

Not exactly the best move ngl

tepid warren
#

well, realistically you dont want to keep your pidgeot in on rock and ice pokemon

#

if you want someone to deal with those I would recommend using bewear, or maybe even mega lopunny

agile flax
#

Yeah definitely swap for lopunny

tepid warren
#

bewear is more defensive while lopunny is more offensive

agile flax
#

I might keep pigeot and swap staraptor for bewear

tepid warren
#

sounds like a good plan

#

also, your ditto spread isn't entirely optimized

#

it wont matter 99.9% of times but for the 0.1 where it matters you will be glad

agile flax
#

Thank you for that, ditto is my only real counter for set up sweepers

#

So I want to swap blissey for something with maybe haze

#

And what move should replace hp steel?

tepid warren
#

u-turn

tepid warren
#

but better than nothing

agile flax
#

Yeah actually, I am pretty sure that is on the recommended set

tepid warren
#

i would keep blissey btw

#

if you are going to add Bewear to your team you should replace porygon2

agile flax
#

Need another fast pokemon right?

tepid warren
#

it should be fine

agile flax
#

So who would be best to regret Porygon 2

tepid warren
#

bewear is good

#

since he helps with ice and rock type pokemon

agile flax
#

I seee

#

I usually like to have more than one physical attacker but this works

tepid warren
#

you have a couple

#

bewear, ursaluna, staraptor

agile flax
#

I meant special sorry

tepid warren
#

ah np

#

btw, it might be worth it to put defog on your staraptor

agile flax
#

Ngl I mainly use Porygon 2 because I have had it on my mono teams since early gen 8

#

And yeah absolutely

#

I want to swap out uturn for it, or double edge

tepid warren
#

if you want porygon2 we can make that work, we would just have to structure the team a bit differently

#

well, this is the most common staraptor set

#

Staraptor @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Intimidate
Tera Type: Normal
EVs: 248 HP / 244 Def / 16 Spe
Impish Nature

  • Defog
  • Roost
  • U-turn
  • Brave Bird
#

a bit more of a defensive approach

agile flax
#

I lack the willpower to not run scarf staraptor

#

Since that staraptor is mainly a revenge killer

tepid warren
#

well thats what ditto is for

agile flax
#

That is a great point

#

Yeah I think I could try that out, intimidate could be good so blissey could switch in

#

I think I will swap soft boiled for wish

tepid warren
#

softboiled is better

#

though, if you want to use wish, you should use teleport instead of toxic or something

agile flax
tepid warren
#

so you can get a safe switch

agile flax
#

Blissey gets teleport?

#

Damn I am out of touch

tepid warren
#

in national dex yeah

#

not in gen 9

#

I would still recommend softboiled but its up to you

agile flax
#

I will stick to soft boiled, most of my team gets 2 to 3hko so wish isn't that important

#

Okay so this is what I have right now

tepid warren
#

that looks pretty good to me

#

let us know how it goes when you play with it

agile flax
#

Yeah, but I just don't understand giving Swords Dance to a support mon

#

If he's support, then I think I should just swap swords dance for something like Toxic Spikes (idk if he gets that)

tepid warren
#

It’s to make it so that he can attack other pokemon that can’t beat him

#

For example, gliscor is really strong into the poison matchup, but he needs swords dance to boost his attack so he can make progress against Pokemon like Amoongus

unique tusk
#

Fair, but I mean... Garchomp exists

tepid warren
#

Right, but garchomp can take poison damage, while gliscor can’t

#

They can’t status gliscor because he will be automatically poisoned and he will be healing every turn

agile flax
#

Garchomp would just be but to sleep against amoongus right?

Or burned by a weezing, poisoned by anything else

Also, Ice Beam / Dragon Pulse is sort of wanted on Kingdra, DPulse for Dragon teams (Kingdra's main niche), Ice beam isnt that needed, since Hurricane already hits those targets hard, but up to you

so dragon is just broken then lol

go for mega ray ye

you can use hisuian goodra for the occaisional fairy though if u like

hisuian goodra as 6th mon? im down

#

rn options include salamence, dragonite, goodra and garchomp

but mega ray + hazards is gonna be very good

id personally go scarf korai, lo + sd mega ray, hoodra, chomp, dd + ghostium pult, filler

#

filler could be band vish or something

is clangorous soulblaze not that good? i thought it was pretty broken so i wanted to use z move on it

its good in regular ndm

Normally yes

How good is utility frosmoth? It's got defog, u-turn, tailwind, infestation, reflect, light screen, stun spore + it has giga drain for recovery and ice scales so it doesn't need to invest much in sp def

utility frosmoth is really bad

#

just use articuno meow

balmy stream
#

Why it bad tho

quasi rock
#

Slow, no roost, tailwind/infest doesnt really matter compared to freeze dry/HP fire on cuno

#

Giga drain doesnt heal as much as you'd like, and running screens when you have aveil already is of marginal use

If you run boots you burn up aveil turns on top of just getting ~3 turns of extra extra screens assuming they dont defog (really common in NDM). If you run clay then its doomed since one takes 50% from swapping in

But, I am not the best at team making and the art of it, so I am looking for improvements in my team because I got swept by a rapid spinned great tusk.

# hasty steeple Hello, tried making a "National dex **normal** monotype" for the second time. Bu...

i would advise running bloodmoon > zoroark and staraptor > obstagoon. Bloodmoon has a similar role to obstagoon of destroying fat but bloodmoon's longevity and defensive typing and defence is a lot better plus mega lop still hits quite hard and is much faster. Play Rough on it is so redundant coverage 2/3 types fairy hit, you have cc and triple axel so you run Return/Frustration in that slot

staraptor is there as the fighting neutrality, whether you want it to be your scarfer or fit intimidate somewhere to tank physical hits better, up to you. also if you want to run cyclizar, it has access to shed tail thats its whole niche on the type, which would work well with the offensive threats and you can have teleport chansey as a pivot.

Can be swapped over Ceruledge or Mimikyu depending on what you feel isnt pulling its weight, the given spread gives it a speed boost to let it sweep. If running this, use Air Balloon or a Colbur Berry on Gholdengo instead

take note that HO Ghost is really quite off as you dont have access to stuff like Spectrier and Dragapult which would've been nice. Balanced-ish ghost is more stabler

booster energy is banned, so maybe you want heavy duty boots

#

i also think black sludge is better on weezing, you can drop pain split, you could switch toxic for will o wisp

stable zinc
#

tera is also banned so its best not to have your team built around it eg tera normal toxtricity wont work

#

also terastalization is banned, so your toxtricity strategy wont be super viable, a mega venusaur would be good on your team as a replacement

yeah

I just copied some of these from smogon forums and Pokémon db so the Teras were automatically applied so yeah won’t be using that. For iron, I just realized after making that booster was banned so I put life orb for now but will try with heavy duty.

Knock off > ice Spinner on azumarill.
If you're not using quaquaval for spinning just use urshifu rapid strike its faster and more immediately threatening with a swords dance set
You also don't need to run azu on water on second thought, you need a special breaker like walking wake or greninja to deal with types like flying

#

I would recommend switching ribombee to hatterene so you can block hazards of your own

#

Alternatively, you could change both ribombee and grimmsnarl to Klefki and hatterene

#

That way you can keep screens and set some hazards of your own

#

I would make the edits for you but unfortunately I am on my phone

tepid warren
#

Black sludge is preferred over leftovers on all poison type Pokémon so that if they get tricked the enemy that used trick will take some extra damage each turn (instead of healing by taking leftovers)

#

I would also recommend heavy duty boots on pelipper instead

#

And lastly you are missing 4 Evs on toxapex

#

But to be honest you should probably revamp your toxapex ev spread. Toxapex is meant to be a defensive pokemon so the attack evs aren’t a great choice

wind idol
#

ok

#

my team seems decent

i beat a neutral matchup when theybhad meh plays

tepid warren

You should have used calm mind with hatterene the first time you sent it out

Hatterene is good behind screens because it can set up a few times and then recover hp with draining kiss

your barraskewda needs liquidation or its not doing any damage even with rain up. We have started running Jolly nature we can outspeed pokemon like Mega Lopunny out of rain. Toxapex should always have haze as well, ice spinner is not doing damage to anything with its low attack stat and a water team always need a ground type so mega swampert > mega gyarados

This looks ok
Ideally, you wouldnt gravity on flying (type), this frees you from using something like psychic if you wanted to

Subroost Zapdos has a tiny overlap with articuno though, consider using something like dragonite (gives you priority/setup if you want), gliscor (gets you entry hazards and toxic, and is sturdy enough to work alongside landorus)

Alternatively, if you want to keep sub zap, swap Articuno for a Moltres (Physically Defensive)

quasi rock
#

*consider hurrican on torn too btw for ogerpon

balmy stream
#

your team has no ice coverage other than Articuno

#

not to mention Celesteela is an amazing defensive pokémon that can cripple and threaten opposing pokémon.

#

even better if they aren’t SE on it

#

another thing

#

Enamorus has VERY weak defences

#

so Superpower isn’t that great on it

i’d recommend putting Mystical fire or Psychic

Give Tornadus boots

Volcarona prefers heavy-duty boots, as its too vulnerable to hazards. Taking no damage >>> Healing a small amount of damage once. Hurricane also isnt useful as 1. It can miss, 2. Psychic + Flamethrower would cover the mons weak to hurricane. Flamethrower is also much better than heat wave since it cant miss. Bug Buzz uneeded because Bug has no shortage of bug stab

Scizor prefers to be Swords Dance or be using a Choice Band, as its pride resides on its really strong bullet punches. Also its just really slow for a scarf compared to something like Slither Wing, Kleavor, or Heracross. Check out monotype's sets for more information ->https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/formats/monotype/

Rain Dance isnt that great on svalin, as it enables opposing Water dudes which you cant deal with as much. Ideally, he should pack Sticky Web so that you dont need to use a Masquerain.

Yama can do Earthquake over High Horse Power. AV is spicy and I'm not really sure what's it for, but I'd suggest having Leech Life to improve your longevity.

Since Svalin is running webs, we could replace Masquerain for Kleavor, which improves bug's odds of sweeping because Stone Axe automatically sets Stealth Rocks = free chip. The set can be obtained from the smogon dex (Monotype ->https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/formats/monotype/)

If you're using Lokix, Swords Dance can be cool on it since its quite strong. Alternatively, you can use Frosmoth so that you have a way out vs Ground teams (esp Gliscor), as Araq is rendered useless by Clodsire which runs Water Absorb. Running Detect on it isnt too good aside from blocking opposing First Impression too, and Sucker Punch could be cool to remedy its somehow not so fast speed

I hope this helps and feel free to ask questions for clarifications

scizor relies on its Technician ability. and STAB (bullet punch) to really mess with teams who aren’t “steelproof”

Eq over Mud Shot on Slowking->Hits heatran really good
That being said Slowking isnt that great especially if paired with the pecha

Because I advise to remove Glowking, Alolan Muk might be better then, having spikes on something like Clodsire instead (Pecha acting as spinblock for instance). Glim could also work since corrosion Toxic is great + has hazards/EP too

Alolan Muk has all three elemental punches and has decent SpD and can raise its Defense

#

with acid armor

#

not to mention we have Grimmsnarl

#

THE screens setter

#

Grimmsnarl is a BIG staple on dark teams

#

as he’s the only mon that can swap in and out and become annoying with taunt, and parting shot

# glacial forge If I don't have Gambit, and no heavy slam on ttar, and were to switch out Hydrei...

you can choose to run Bisharp for bearing Fairy coverage [literally just swap kingambit], but the main thing is that usually Meowscarada is able to hit most fairies (Flower Trick hits Mega Diancie, Play Rough for Iron Valiant for instance, while you could pivot out with U-turn for Bulu -> Galarian Moltres as @stable zinc mentioned)

Samurott-H will likely run Swords Dance or be a secondary scarfer depending on how comfy you are with your team's speed.

(also this doesnt matter since you're swapping gren, but you can use Sludge Wave over Gunk on gren now, and thats boosted by specs)

gen 9 monotype btw, not natdex

tepid warren
#

the 6 you have look fine, but if youre going to use minior yo ushould probably have mortal spin on glimmora

#

I think it would also be a good idea to change arcanine to perhaps a banded set

modern summit
#

what would i take off for mortal spin?

tepid warren
#

Glimmora @ Air Balloon
Ability: Toxic Debris
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

  • Mortal Spin
  • Spikes
  • Earth Power
  • Energy Ball
#

try this

#

Arcanine-Hisui @ Choice Band
Ability: Rock Head
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

  • Head Smash
  • Flare Blitz
  • Close Combat
  • Extreme Speed
#

and this could be good for your arcanine

modern summit
#

is intimidate not worth using over rock head?

tepid warren
#

rock head is better for longevity

#

so you can use rock head and flare blitz a lot

#

Ogerpon-Cornerstone (F) @ Cornerstone Mask
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

  • Swords Dance
  • Ivy Cudgel
  • Horn Leech
  • Superpower
#

this is a better ogerpon set too, but if you like brick break in order to break screens thats fine too

#

Maybe a dumb question, but can we ask for ratings on modded teams when the mods are provided?

#

for example in my case; Minor Changes in how a Pokemon is played, statwise or other and a condition that changes how a mechanic works (here crit rate)

rugged shore
#

As that deviates from a smogon or Nintendo format, no it wouldn’t be rated here

mossy bear
#

well THIS is more my alley
