Hello, I decided to post RMT of my TR team, I wonder what are your opinions about it.
I expect a lot of Landorus-T suggestions, but I really hate that mon. Please don't.
Overall enjoy.

Mawile (F) @ Mawilite
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 Def
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Play Rough
- Iron Head
- Sucker Punch
- Protect
Mawile is the main deleter in this team. She has no trouble deleting almost anything in one hit.
I considered running Substitute, however I find that move inferior to these 4.
I understand why Sucker Punch is not always considered good move for it failing against status move, however I still think it's quite powerful tool if used well and priority is quite good, especially poweful one like this attack, also offering coverage and hitting hard Mega Metagross, knocking him out.

Porygon2 @ Eviolite
Ability: Download
EVs: 244 HP / 76 Def / 188 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Trick Room
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Recover
Porygon is TR setter. While this team can deal without Trick Room set up, it appretiates having it up. Mawile becomes fast and deadly threat in Trick Room. It also forces opponent to deal with Porygon which is neither easy nor fast so Porygon partner can take advantage of it.
Porygon also leaves enemy in weird spot to either ignore him, thus letting me set up TR or to deal with him, thus ignoring his partner.

Gyarados (M) @ Waterium Z
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Ice Fang
- Protect
Gyarados is the biggest question mark on this team. I really dislike this Pokemon, but I added him for synergy between him and Krookodile (double Intimidate + free EQ spam).
He is also another threat on the team, not only he has Intimidate and often forces to switch out, he also has DD to threaten sweep and forcing opponent to deal with Gyarados rather than its partner.

Marowak-Alola (M) @ Thick Club
Ability: Lightning Rod
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 184 Atk / 4 Def / 68 SpD
Brave Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Flare Blitz
- Shadow Bone
- Bonemerang
- Detect
Marowak is one of my most favorite Pokemon in this gen, his incredibly bad speed allows him to function very well in TR. Even though he cannot have item, he is pretty damn powerful and protects Gyarados with Lightning Rod.
He also deals very well with some difficult and popular mon like Magnezone, Arcanine, Lele (in TR), Charizard and Koko.
He resists Dazzling Gleam which I really appretiate in every team, thus he is incredible tool I like to use.

Amoonguss @ Aguav Berry
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 236 HP / 188 Def / 84 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Spore
- Rage Powder
- Giga Drain
- Protect
This Little Sad Dude is pretty good support Pokemon. He is sort of plan B in case of TR failing. He supports well Mawile even outside of TR thus TR is not ALWAYS needed.
However he becomes fast threat in TR threatening fast Spore and protecting other threats on the team.

Krookodile (M) @ Groundium Z
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 52 HP / 156 Atk / 44 Def / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Crunch
- Taunt
- Protect
Krookodile is here to bring Intimidate thus helping team with survival as well as possibility to resist Rock Slide and deal with difficult Steel and Fire types that troubles Mawile like Mega Metagross and Arcanine.
He is also the only Taunt Pokemon in this team.
He is chosen over Garchomp and Landorus mainly for not having ×4 weakness to Ice types, which I honestly really not enjoy having.
His EQ synergizes well only with Gyarados. However I find usually not having troubles with that because of Z-move and faster paced games. In the cases when I needed to EQ after Z-move, Protecting with the other on didn't hurt me too badly.
I kinda dislike I didn't find room for other of my fave Pokemon - Gastrodon, which really shines in this meta, however I find Amoonguss and Porygon just being superior and I can't imagine having 3 mons on the team, that doesn't have any good offensive pressure. I also already have Gyarados and even tho they don't share any weakness I don't much appretiate type stacking. Offensively it's not good as I usually play both Gyarados and Gastrodon with only Water and Ice moves which would be offensive loss.
Overall this is the team I had best resulsts with.
