#

i thought of going with doubledance mirai instead

empty bridge
#

at the end i was just like "eh i'll send for rating ngl"

cinder fox
#

idk why you didn’t go dd mirai initially

empty bridge
#

me neither

#

anything else?

cinder fox
#

sd > cc on caly

#

glacial lance and high horsepower are enough

empty bridge
#

ah okay

#

yeah i sometimes felt the lack of sd

#

cc was mainly here for the ekiller matchup

#

but it's not like it ohko's anyway

#

also dragon pulse or dazzling gleam on mirai?

cinder fox
#

dpulse

empty bridge
#

aight

#

ty lol

olive blade
#

Aight; how bad is this?

tawdry estuary
#

it's not too bad actually

#

but there are some changes you can make to improve this

#

on ogerpon you should replace spiky shiel with swords dance

#

and on corviknight you want to use a physically defensive spread (max def with a defense boosting nature)

#

also uturn > bulk up

#

iron bundle is not recommended for use in the current ubers meta so you should probably replace it with a dedicated miraidon check like ting lu or clodsire (I'd go clodsire here because opposing fairyceus can be a problem and you can abosrb tspike)

#

since you already have hazard control with corviknight you should replace great tusk in order to not get swept by zacian

#

landorus t should work here

tawdry estuary
#

and lastly arceus

#

the standard calm mind set should be fine

#

Arceus-Fairy @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Multitype
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 248 HP / 120 Def / 16 SpA / 124 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk

  • Judgment
  • Earth Power
  • Calm Mind
  • Recover
#

@olive blade

olive blade
#

@tawdry estuary something like this?

tawdry estuary
#

You can also consider making Mirai or Lando scarf

#

Ah and use standard Tera types

#

So poison or water on fairyceus and steel on clod

olive blade
#

Tera existing is actually why I no longer use Black Sludge lol

olive blade
misty oxide
ionic parcel
#

Any professionals tier ubers gen8 tier available?

lost sable
frigid palm
# misty oxide

Specs miraidon is based, however everything else isnt too good

#

Lando is too slow to be threatening in ubers, if you want an offensive ground i would recommend arc ground

#

Both ogerpon and annihilape are mostly univable as well, would recommend a defensive core if ur building balance, something like ting lu + toxapex

#

Or skeledirge + ting lu/clodsire

#

Giratina o is also good cuz defog

frigid palm
#

Oh yeah also the flyceus set is mostly a meme lol

#

If you want a ground immune then the aforementioned giratina o is good

#

Or you can swap lando i to defensive lando t and run koraidon as a scarfer

so

#

yveltal is the mon used on most teams as a calyrex check

but there are other (much overall worse) alterrnatives

cc'ing the yveltal trying to eat the fs

#

same base power as astral btw

#

hm marsha>ogre maybe

#

the ho mu could be dire tho

warped pier
#

That's a reasonable answer

#

It's a rather creative build so I can't really tell if it's good or not, but I like the idea on paper

lost sable
#

:>

warped pier
#

Maybe it struggles a bit vs sticky

#

Since you don't run hdb etern

lost sable
#

ig yea but ejecting on ndm is so funny lol

#

im kinda memeing rn i might actually post later with a more serious try

warped pier
#

Ndm sounds also quite rough to break with zama

#

That's why I like urshifu with fsight caly

#

None of the big 3 can switch into fsight+wicked blow

#

And losing urshifu for etern is def a winning trade for the urshifu player

lost sable
#

what about groodon then

#

beats the big 3 too

tawdry estuary
#

You could go flame on etern I think

#

And as for zama

#

I think wild charge is better

#

But you also lose really badly to hooh

#

Zama adds a lot of weaknesses

#

I think rest talk ogre would be good for your team over caly

#

And you could run taunt over uturn on yvel for ferro

#

I think that should make your team better

lost sable
#

😭 rip looks like the fs caly vision did not work out

tawdry estuary
#

yea i mean i went with this assuming you wanted to keep zama

#

if you want future sight caly s you can literally slap it on one of the sample teams

lost sable
#

hm yea fair

#

not that it ever wants to click much more than astral when it comes in

frigid palm
#

Wait since when is zama good in g8 ubers

tawdry estuary
#

It's alright

#

Speed is good, bulk is good, typing is good, moves and coverage are alright, power is a bit underwhelming, howl is ass but what can ya do

#

0 of these pokemon are good

#

id probably assume the mirai set has to be changed

#

oh yeah korai tera is fire not ghost

steep tulip
#

ghost is better on loaded dice

cinder fox
#

lasen i got this

#

ok so

steep tulip
#

OK let's see it.

cinder fox
#

dd mirai is fine here

#

but

#

you def want dpulse > dgleam

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

you have like

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

a bajillion things to threaten dirge

#
  • korai loves the espeed immune
frigid palm
#

fair

cinder fox
#

also you don't want scarf ogre on webs imo

frigid palm
#

idk about the ekiller spread either i dont usually use it

#

just slapped on the sample evs

frigid palm
#

what would you recommend?

cinder fox
#

ogre isn't terrible tbh

#

but like

#

you'd much rather have specs on webs imo

frigid palm
#

true, i just liked scarf cuz it beat other scarfers assuming webs up

#

anything else i should change?

cinder fox
#

you could have less speed on mirai

#

4 or 8 is fine

frigid palm
#

ah yeah 92 is an old spread i ran pre home vs scarf bundle

cinder fox
#

no.

#

i refuse to believe i heard the words scarf and bundle

#

in the same sentence

frigid palm
#

mostly just a funny niche

cinder fox
#

so yeah specs ogre, dpulse > dgleam and make mirai slower

empty bridge
#

First time ever making this archetype

#

Hope its not unviable fr

#

@cinder fox me when online rater (do you have time lol)

cinder fox
empty bridge
#

Full tr as in

#

All slow mons?

gritty merlin
#

tr is generally unviable in singles unless the abusers are incredibly worth it

empty bridge
#

I've seen a lot of tr sets and users in smogon sets which is why i thought about trying

#

But if its unviable then amog

cinder fox
empty bridge
#

Yeah

gritty merlin
#

you really only get 3-4 turns of usage with it, and without teammates to take advantage of the tr switching becomes incredibly costly

empty bridge
#

Yeah im aware of tr flaws lol

#

Just the amount of sets and options in smogdex made me think it was better this gen so i went "eh i'll build"

cinder fox
#

while it is better per se

#

it’s still unviable

empty bridge
#

...lmao fair

cinder fox
#

the attackers simply aren’t strong enough in this decently bulky meta for tr to be worth it

Ah true

crap the bass is missing the other 4 ev

cinder fox
#

Ditto has no reason to be on this team, you have zero hazards whatsoever, half the team’s teras serve no practical purpose for the team, and the clod set is just bad, to name a few

#

if you’re open to drastic changes i’m happy to oblige, but either way i think you’d best take a look here for teams

frigid palm
#

unpopular opinion (i think) but clodsire isnt that great a special wall

lost sable
#

its been an opinion for a while

crude turtle
#

clodsire is pretty bad rn

#

compared to ting at least

frigid palm
#

Yeah true, though even ting is far from perfect

tawdry estuary
#

What propaganda are you guys spreading

frigid palm
#

Drops to specs draco, though tbf what doesnt

tawdry estuary
#

Clod is literally better than Lu atm

tawdry estuary
frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

It beats more stuff and absorbs tspikes

frigid palm
#

Lu just felt a lot more secure vs most things except for fairies ofc

tawdry estuary
#

Lu is countered more easily too

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

To lu yea

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
frigid palm
#

Clod is 2hkod while lu isnt i think

tawdry estuary
#

Clod can run lefties, mental herb and hdb

frigid palm
#

Hdb is by far the best item imo

#

Else mirai can just power through it

tawdry estuary
#

Mental is imo

#

HDB is second best tho

tawdry estuary
frigid palm
#

Im not saying clod is bad ofc, its quite decent, but idk i feel lu handles the best mon in the game wayy better

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

Ah

frigid palm
#

I usually run fairy on my specs mirai

tawdry estuary
#

Yea fairy is alright

frigid palm
#

Speaking of which

tawdry estuary
#

First of all korai is better

frigid palm
#

Im torn on whether mirai shoulf be banned or not

tawdry estuary
#

Second clod only loses to specs

#

Lu loses to all cm sets

#

And gets washed by pivot with Draco taunt uturn

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
frigid palm
#

Theyre very close now but id say mirai edges out a bit more

tawdry estuary
#

Lu loses to more mirai sets than clod

#

In addition to being worse in non Mirai mu

#

And being countered more easily

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

And ofc clod absorbs tspikes

tawdry estuary
#

That's why we have mental herb

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

But that just means you are playing with 5 mons and a sack

frigid palm
#

Lu is hella free spikes a lot of times though

tawdry estuary
tawdry estuary
#

And clod can get up spikes much easier there

tawdry estuary
#

And I mean lu has some advantages you're right

#

But clod has so much more

#

And it's more consistent

#

And more versatile in the item slot even

scarlet compass
#

turns out its not that good apparently

scarlet compass
#

i wanna keep basculegon

frigid palm
#

I dont really find bascu to be that much more than a minor nichemon

scarlet compass
#

better then houndstone tbh 🤷

tawdry estuary
#

You'd have to swap out ditto mainly

scarlet compass
#

thx

tawdry estuary
#

So

#

What I had in mind is maybe also swaping out zacian

#

Since you already have arc fairy

#

Arc fairy you should make 136+ Def so you don't get 2hkod by scarf korai

#

Over zacian you can use Lando since you have no zacian check

#

And it also helps vs korai

#

And over ditto you can go with scarf Mirai or korai up to you

scarlet compass
#

i think ill go mirai so i have a way of beating kyo

tawdry estuary
#

Yea sounds good

scarlet compass
#

the team needs rain up

tawdry estuary
#

Yea actually koraidon helps with that

#

Since you can reset rain turns

#

But maybe like in an endgame scenario if ogre dies that's not possible

scarlet compass
#

yea i was thinking that

tawdry estuary
#

Mirai is good for this

#

And on clod I like mental herb

#

You get 6-0d by taunt fairyceus otherwise

#

Be careful against spikers because your team is pretty weak to hazards

scarlet compass
#

do i have a way to beat zacian

tawdry estuary
#

Ye lando

#

And scarf mirai

scarlet compass
#

i dont have lando on my team

#

do i replace it with clod

tawdry estuary
#

Read that and you should be good

scarlet compass
#

oh yea

#

thx

tawdry estuary
#

Np

tawdry estuary
#

Also helps vs scale shot

scarlet compass
#

what do i take out for this

tawdry estuary
#

Ah just SpA

#

And make it bold and you're good

scarlet compass
#

alr thx

tawdry estuary
#

You can also go with taunt, twave or wisp over cm if you want

#

And np

scarlet compass
#

also rq what set does lando run?

tawdry estuary
#

Just the standard set

#

You can see it on analyses

#

Or in the builder if you click import and have selected lando

#

Sample sets are at the bottom

#

Wait a few seconds for them to load

#

On that set you can use Rocky Helmet > lefties

tawdry estuary
#

first of all where is your mirai switch

scarlet compass
tawdry estuary
#

that's better but you still get swept by mirai lol

scarlet compass
#

yea

tawdry estuary
#

specs mirai ohkos your entire team

#

and every other set ohkos or 2hkos

#

but you also have a tspike problem

#

i usually like having at least 1 ground and 1 faiy type per team

#

and somewhere also a grounded poison type

scarlet compass
#

do i replace pex a ground type

tawdry estuary
#

yea you already have dirge so

#

you can go clod cause otherwise fairy attacks are gonna be a problem

#

from fairyceus i mean

#

dirge can only hold off non taunt non ep sets pre tera

#

and once you've done that you'll see that you kinda get 6-0d by eq

#

or any ground type tbh

#

to help with that you can go landot over dirge

#

dirge is not that good cuz korai has scale now

#

and on the topic of korai you should use standard sets

#

for mirai also

#

solar beam scarf is not a good idea and you need draco

#

tera fairy dazzling gleam is alright

tawdry estuary
#

and then as a last thing you should go with tera steel wisp fairyceus cuz otherwise you're gonna get owned by ekiller as soon as lando drops to half health

#

with those changes your team should be able to take on any team basically

tawdry estuary
scarlet compass
tawdry estuary
#

yea that's a lot better

#

ah wait

#

forgot to tell you

#

on korai use loaded dice

#

not lefties lol

scarlet compass
#

alr thx

tawdry estuary
#

np

scarlet compass
#

@tawdry estuary im seeing a shit ton of ursaluna bm what do i do against it

tawdry estuary
#

if it cms you have cm as well

#

you do a lot cuz it's spdef is shit

#

and also mirai ohkos with draco

scarlet compass
#

what do i do against cm fm?

tawdry estuary
#

clod can beat it if it doesn't have psyshock

#

and zacian can beat it if it doesn't have mystical fire

#

and you can always tera a mon to ko it

maybe its cuz im not used to running webs or using either of those mons

tawdry estuary
#

team looks pretty good

frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

that guy sucks

frigid palm
#

Running webs is an immediate L in my books

#

And they lost to cm fairyceus so yes they do suck

paper ember
cinder fox
#

this looks super solid

#

couple things tho

#
  1. switch korai and mirai's items (make korai scarf and mirai specs)
#

scarf korai is literally just bw gene on steroids it's so good

paper ember
#

Choice Band Miraidon seems weird but I trust you makes sense

cinder fox
#
  1. Wild Charge and Tera Flying is prolly better than Tera Fire and Tera Blast
cinder fox
paper ember
#

nah I got you, just trolling

cinder fox
#

oh lmao

#

anyways

cinder fox
#

wild charge is the most common coverage move thanks to getting strengthened by mirai

paper ember
#

got it

cinder fox
#
  1. Toxic on Etern is alr here so this is more of a preference thing
#

but i actually like tspikes > toxic on etern here

paper ember
#

love hazards, they seem broken here

cinder fox
#

tspikes is super broken in this meta

paper ember
#

but actually what are the removal options here

#

scanning the VR it looks like just Gira? but that feels like it has a lot of overlap with Skele

paper ember
#

screaming, crying, perfect storm

cinder fox
#

i think lastly i'd go physdef cm ogre > dirge

paper ember
#

but then how do I beat Toxic Spikes?

cinder fox
#

your own etern

#

kek

paper ember
#

didn't you just recommend Kyogre over Etern?

#

or can I not read?

cinder fox
#

oh wait

#

i meant over dirge

#

FUCK

paper ember
#

oh okay

#

like that?

cinder fox
#

ye

#

maybe make the ogre a little bulkier

#

prolly max hp 236 defense 20 speed bold

paper ember
#

done

cinder fox
#

coolio

#

team looks good

paper ember
#

thanks for all your help!

tawdry estuary
#

you have no ground type

#

no mirai switch

#

and because dirge was removed now there's not even a korai check

#
  • you're just as weak to ground type attacks
#

no offense to mr. Oreo but this was a bad rate

#

outside of changing the zacian set

#

that was a good suggestion

#

like your team without skeledirge gets swept by scarf korai which is one of the most common forms of speed control

#

I'm not really gonna say more than that unless you want me to

#

tag me if you wanna hear what I'd change (although I am going to sleep soon)

cinder fox
#

what are you on

#

also there is a lot that has to go scarf korai’s way for it to sweep

tawdry estuary
cinder fox
#

it can’t allow arc a free turn for one

#

it has to remove ogre

tawdry estuary
#

kyogre gets 3hkod by low kick without hazards

cinder fox
#

yes.

#

3hkoed.

tawdry estuary
#

agility mirai sweeps you off preview too

#

that team is plain bad

#

it has so many flaws

cinder fox
tawdry estuary
#

i just said a few most appearant ones

cinder fox
#

there’s no ground sure but too much has to go mirai’s way

#

zacian eats unboosted charge

#

you have a scarf korai and an ekiller

#

it’s slow without an agility

#

what does agility mirai set up on without tera

#

tell me

tawdry estuary
#

kyogre

#

but it will have tera

#

and there exists more than one type of agility mirai

#

and all of them sweep you

cinder fox
#

agility mirai is not a popular set for one

#

second it doesn’t even safely set up on ogre

#

you HAVE to commit tera

#

and even then ekiller revenges

tawdry estuary
tawdry estuary
cinder fox
tawdry estuary
#

and like i said

cinder fox
#

i just said ekiller

tawdry estuary
#

that's just one issue

tawdry estuary
#

stop it

#

your team clearly has a lot of issues

cinder fox
#

actually read my posts then

tawdry estuary
#

and that rmt was bad

tawdry estuary
cinder fox
#

then you can’t argue with me

#

since you’re clearly ignoring my posts about fucking ekiller

tawdry estuary
#

i can argue beacause i looked at the pastes

#

and after your rmt check the team got worse

#

not in every aspect

#

but overall

cinder fox
#

okay i actually read your criticisms and i will respond to each and every one of them

#

right here right now

frigid palm
#

why is there an aggression in my rmt thread

cinder fox
tawdry estuary
#

bro you don't have to

tawdry estuary
cinder fox
frigid palm
#

okay lemme read up rq

tawdry estuary
cinder fox
#

and then called ME out for insulting you

tawdry estuary
#

i didn't say that to insult you

#

i said that to try to make the rmt as accurate as possible

cinder fox
#

i am trying to explain why your points in practice don’t hold up

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

while this is indeed true, it’s constantly pressured to draco lest something like mirai come in for free

#

-2 mirai is easy fodder for ekiller

#
  • scarf mirai is fake so it’s very revengable by korai and zac
#

hell ogre can even get a sub on -2 mirai

cinder fox
#

but like

#

how is that relevant

#

if it’s scarf low kick you switch ogre out

tawdry estuary
#

you have to guess every time

cinder fox
#

and how is dirge different

tawdry estuary
#

instead of having a safe switch

cinder fox
#

it gets 3hkoed by dclaw

tawdry estuary
#

and that's not even considering hazards

tawdry estuary
frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

it has slack off

frigid palm
#

i also agree with ox that low kick is finnicky to stay in on for ogre

cinder fox
#

mirai’s a quad resist

#

it eats that shit all day

tawdry estuary
#

you're full of it

cinder fox
#

you started it

tawdry estuary
#

you're wrong just accept it

tawdry estuary
frigid palm
tawdry estuary
#

what does that matter

cinder fox
#

obv

frigid palm
#

also mb i thought it was a 3hko on mirai, which it is but only after spikes
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Miraidon in Electric Terrain: 96-113 (28.1 - 33.1%) -- 94.5% chance to 3HKO after 1 layer of Spikes

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

team literally has some of the most insane offensive pressure in the game

frigid palm
#

so ur only ever switching in once, maybe twice if you wanna risk a tie

cinder fox
#

how is anything safely getting up more than one hazard

#

i’ve literally tested this team myself

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

i know what happens in practice

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

no you do

frigid palm
#

mirai 3hkos mirai after one hazard, and etern needs the tiniest bit of chip to be 2hkod

cinder fox
#

the team has default bulk so one hazard is not enough

cinder fox
#

second etern is boots

frigid palm
# cinder fox second etern is boots

who said the chip has to come from hazards, if the opp has good pivoting even a u turn or two can bring you into range
252 SpA Choice Specs Hadron Engine Miraidon Electro Drift vs. 80 HP / 252 SpD Eternatus in Electric Terrain: 178-210 (40.3 - 47.6%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

#

hell you dont even need multiple pivots im pretty sure scarf korai u turn can do 12

#

252 Atk Orichalcum Pulse Koraidon U-turn vs. 80 HP / 0 Def Eternatus: 55-65 (12.4 - 14.7%) -- possible 7HKO

#

it does

cinder fox
#

why would you etern on korai

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

ogre is literally right there

frigid palm
#

bad example on my part but my intent was to show how little it takes for mirai to snipe etern

cinder fox
#

i get that

#

but there are three bulky dragons and a bulky ekiller

frigid palm
#

hell this is without even mentioning potential tera electric

cinder fox
#

and ekiller doesnt even need tera to die

cinder fox

grounds exist in the tier yknow

#

tera dragon is the standard

oh that’s a mistake

you cant setup on -2 mirai if its tera dragon

steep tulip
#

you should start off with using the sample sets from the dex

#

quite literally none of the sets (besides ogre) are what one would run

naive nymph
#

yeah figured. DS meant to be like that tho with trick and scarf, but the rest are valid idk what i was cooking with the lugia stats.

steep tulip
#

you can have a trick-scarf deo-s

#

but having it be both hazards is counterproductive

naive nymph
#

yeah should prob run taunt instead of spikes

pure oasis
steep tulip
#

you are weak to SD groudon

#

quite a bit at that

#

I'd suggest you try a lunala over quag

pure oasis
steep tulip
#

zygarde, maybe

pure oasis
#

landorus t wouldn't be good? can defog and can run into groudon too

lime prairie
#

lando isn't the best on full stall due to its lack of reliable recovery and relatively low bulk compared to the rest of the team

#

I believe with lunala > quag this is a tournament team that's been used before

#

or something very similar to it

pure oasis
#

@lime prairie is there something that I can use over ho oh?

lime prairie
#

there could be a lot of options

#

I think ho-oh's fine here

#

but if you don't like it you wouldn't lose too much by swapping it out

#

you could do clefable to free up an attacking move > rocks on bliss, or just zygarde like lasen said

#

if you do keep ho-oh tho I'd go brave bird > toxic

#

this set is too easily blanked by etern

#

not worth in ss

#

aside from that tho there are a few changes I'd make. pex needs recover, split is just worse in every way. I'd also probably go haze > scald bc things can get outta hand p quickly, alternatively you can drop knock but I really like knock pex and it helps you be able to potentially run fp yvel > knock if you prefer that. an item on pex is also just better, yvel w more bulk can handle marsh in a pinch but also poltergeist marsh is essentially a non threat anymore since no one uses it. yvel can also go for more hp / sp.def, you don't need that much speed on a team that doesn't have to go for the tie vs webs since it's slow af already. def lunala > quag like lasen said too

pure oasis
lime prairie
#

ye but it's just good in general too

#

like if you gotta take a hit from marsh dd ndm etc

#

only more BO type teams want the speed sometimes

pure oasis
lime prairie
#

Change yvel nature, stoss > rocks on bliss now since clef has it, and honestly I’d say sticky barb clef

#

You have a lot of knock to remove item then contact will take it

pure oasis
#

careful on yveltal?

lime prairie
#

Ye

olive blade
#

This probably sucks, right?

fast iron
#

It's not the worst it could possibly be. double dance Miraidon doesn't really like having life orb and Timid is unnecessary- especially on webs
Defog on webs is not a great idea. I'd suggest replacing Corviknight with Koraidon. It also enables you to have sun for Iron Valiant, but Valiant isn't viable in Ubers.

olive blade
fast iron
#

I saw Booster Energy and forgot, I suppose. None of the future ones are good iirc- exception being Bundle and Miraidon

olive blade
#

So what should I replace vali and Corviknight with?

fast iron
#

Koraidon and some other webs abuser. Great Tusk works nicely.
Although someone else likely has better advice.

lime prairie
# olive blade This probably sucks, right?

Advice above on agility mirai is correct, if you wanna run super fast you’re probably just better with boots taunt or smth for opposing HO which has been seen in scl, but bulky agility w eseed or leftovers and a diff tera is good

#

Koraidon > corv is also good

#

Necessary if you’re running ogerpon imo

#

You can also afford ada ogerpon here

#

I’ve used it on webs and the power increase is nice

#

Meanwhile speed tier is relatively empty

#

Sacred sword on zacian isn’t good and never has been, you’re better off with wild charge, crunch, or tera blast ground, the former two can run almost any tera but fire water flying all good

#

Ribombee can also run max spatk > hp

#

Get the damage off

#

Don’t need to live multihits since scale shot doesn’t work

#

As for valiant it really depends what kinda mon you wanna run in that slot

#

Cm taunt flutter could work as a similar breaker, or you can throw on an arceus which is super good on HO

#

Most setup forms work but ekiller and dd groundceus are most common

#

@olive blade forgot to ping but ye this stuff + tera ghost ribombee or tera steel if you’re more scared of glimmora but you got a zacian for that

olive blade
#

That was the original point of vali.

lime prairie
#

Don’t run corv at all

#

It’s a massive momentum sink

#

Not worth on webs

#

All your mons should be forcing damage and making progress on offense

#

Being physical heavy is okay with miraidon bc the physical mons are strong enough

#

Korai and oger break super easily and they open up for zacian

olive blade
#

Heavy sigh
I'll relent to using Koraidon on this team.
I still want to try other options with Mircian core.

lime prairie
#

There’s plenty of things you can do with miraidon and zacian they’re broken

#

But I would first say implement the changes I suggested on the other mons

#

The sets rn are suboptimal

#

Also korai wants tera fire or ghost, and low kick or close combat > collision

#

As for tusk I really don’t like it here I don’t think it fits on these kinds of builds, but you can probably run booster speed knock rocks taunt or some bulk up thing

#

You don’t really need spin or definitely not iron head tbh

olive blade
lime prairie
#

I’d probably say tusk wants spinner somewhere for gira lando glisc if you’re adamant on using it

#

I still don’t like it but you gotta hit those

#

Either way that’s kinda all the advice I have unless you change your mind on that slot, I’d still say do the other set changes mentioned it would help a lot more

olive blade
lime prairie
#

Why not

#

They’re the best mons

#

And on offense they arguably make the strongest cores out of anything

#

If you really didn’t want koraidon I’d honestly say don’t do ogerpon either since it really likes sun support, but korai is maybe the best HO mon

#

If that’s really your goal tho ig you could do smth like mirai zac bee arc form + 2, last 2 being maybe kingambit and etern or smth

#

I just wouldn’t recommend it

#

Koraidon is top 1 in usage and vr rn for a good reason

olive blade
#

I might be going more-so for offense than HO, tbh

lime prairie
#

HO is pretty much defined by the lead, ribombee makes it HO. if you add bulky pivots it's just a bad team rather than changing styles

#

if you just wanted offense you'd probably drop the lead in favour of either another attacker or a hazard pivot like lando

tbh this looks p okay

maybe speed on ting / lando

i feel like zac over lando helps a bit

oh yeah put tera fairy on lando

i dont really thikn this is bad

crude turtle
#

when you have fairyceus

frigid palm
cinder fox

scale korai mainly

frigid palm
#

i have 2 other tera fairies for that

#

and fairyceus

cinder fox
#
  1. you can never be too safe vs that mf
#
  1. i actually suggest cm lo mirai instead of specs here
#

cm mirai is a lot less exploitable than specs mirai which is why it’s more popular rn

#

i’d go cm taunt since fuck ekiller

frigid palm
#

though tbh i dont really like running LO on mirai

#

since i dont have removal

cinder fox
#

you have a bajillion taunts

frigid palm
#

recoil + hazards would wear me down very quickly

frigid palm
#

or lu in pex's case

cinder fox
#

only pex

#

scarf korai is literally bw gene on steroids

#

(a u-turn spamming machine)

frigid palm
crude turtle
#

its good but

#

w fairyceus + ur fine

cinder fox
crude turtle
#

i personally think specs is fine here especially with overheat

#

it pairs well w fairyceus

frigid palm
#

my only complaint with specs mirai is vs stall

#

the only thing i can really break stall with is fairyceus

crude turtle
#

if ur specifically having stall issues

#

i would actually listen to oreo here

#

and go cm taunt ye

#

i think both work fine

frigid palm
#

cuz everything and its mother runs protect on stall for specs mirai

crude turtle
#

but its really up to player comfort

#

alternatively

#

taunt pivot tera dragon mirai is always nuts vs any team

#

that guy also works

cinder fox
#

i personally think cm taunt mirai is better here

#

since you have ekiller issues

frigid palm
#

if i do run cm mirai

cinder fox
#
  • caly is also very much a bitch vs this
frigid palm
#

do i really also need cm fairyceus

crude turtle
frigid palm

but taunt

crude turtle

ye thats fine

frigid palm
#

though thats not really reliable

crude turtle
#

but yea if thats ur issue

#

i'd go either cm mirai or pivot tera dragon mirai

#

both work fine and break af

frigid palm
#

yeah the only things that seem to give me issues are stall semi stall and ekiller

frigid palm
cinder fox
#

if you go for pivot taunt

#

go drift draco u-turn taunt with boots

#

max spa max speed timid

frigid palm
crude turtle

i was just wondering if something like draco plate was viable

#

yeah thought so

crude turtle
#

Ye it is

#

It saw some use in upl

#

And it’s still nice

frigid palm
#

cuz iirc that gives it enough power to 2hko clod

cinder fox
#

ye if you want you can also go draco plate

frigid palm
#

alr

#

tera dragon?

#

or fairy

crude turtle
#

dragon

#

well

#

again this is prob preference between players

frigid palm
#

can i be funny and run eject pack

crude turtle

fairy is fine

crude turtle
#

ive seen eejct pack tho

#

its not bad

frigid palm
#

alr ill try this out

#

ty

#

btw how many spe evs on lando/lu

cinder fox
#

i think full spdef ting is fine

#

it’s purpose is to be a mirai check so you don’t really want to compromise that bulk

#

on lando i’d say 60 speed

#

from what i’ve seen glisc goes 232 speed

#

so 60 evs is enough to creep glisc

frigid palm

Just mess w whatever

I run a ton of speed on mine

Well it gives it the edge vs

Which are the main issues

And flutter

I am very sure psystrike annihilates every inch of flutter's body if it doesnt go first

lime prairie
#

Not fast enough and pretty frail

#

I almost never would recommend mewtwo tbh, I think so many things can just do its job better

#

But if you wanted to ever use it maybe on webs

lime prairie
#

w taunt to help vs hazards

#

Agree w the other stuff about fire zac and claw korai

#

I also don’t know if you need tera poison ting w etern and another poison tera

It’s never bad but you could try fairy to prevent smth like lategame scale korai

Not the worst thing to keep tho

Swords dance is much better on zacian

#

Over sub

#

Ideally wild charge when paired w Koraidon to break toxapex

#

I think specs is fine on these builds

#

Specs flutter is a strong button clicker

#

You can pair this with a solid defensive core like ting Lu/clodsire to check mirai and other arceus forms as well as well as something like a groudon or a lando to take on opposing physical attackers

#

Idk what the rules of dragon king are but for Ubers this seems okay

Probably can go ekiller last mon
