Alcreamie@Leftovers
252 Hp, 252 Def ,4 Sp Atk
Ability: Aroma Veil(blocks taunt for set up and also encore)
Bold Nature
Tera Type:Steel/Water
Draining Kiss
Stored Power
Acid Armor
Calm Mind
So after losing mystical fire it is difficult to hit steel types that resist its fairy stab so we got stored power to muscle through after enough calm minds are achieved which is surprisingly easy with veil support and recover. Draining kiss is 75 bp with stab and gives nice recovery outside of recover.
Tera steel to flip weaknesses to a resistance and an immunity while gaining many other resistances in general.
Kingambit is laughably a nice set up target as Tera steel stops iron head and it's dark type moves without a boost won't 2hko with the defense investment. If it boosts up Draining kiss to leech at its health while keeping yourself alive. Remember veil support or screens is what makes this set worth running in most cases.
You could however run Tera fire Tera Blast to hit steels even with the loss of mystical fire or tera ground to hit heatran as well but air Ballon is annoying.
I will be using this set in ou as I love winning with my favorites in ou.
Some nice team options are
Choice Scarf Rotom-Wash: Tricking a scarf onto Gambit or a check can ease set up ALOT
Alolan Ninetales: The Veil setter which keeps Alcreamie alive
Grimmsnarl: Sets screens but doesn't worry about weather or speed tiers
Steel types: They resist Alcreamies weaknesses without having to Tera.
So what do you guys think of Alcreamie this gen? I really love it as a pokemon so I hope it can see some use in the future.
