HO-Ray for Pikachu- BH RMT peak 1811
Hi, and welcome to my 850 post RMT. I know it’s a bit odd, but SuMo is coming and this team was too good not to share. As you can tell from the title, it’s based around Pikachu. While this seems like a bad pick (looking at you Chloe. ), it’s really just niche. For a Hyper Offense team, it’s invaluable- unlike Chansey, it simply plows through most imposter-resistant cores. It does require a lot of support, but I knew firsthand how effective it could be if I got it that support, so I went for it. In the process, I ended up making one of the most HO-ey BH teams in the metagame and I never looked back. Sadly, the end of Sumo is rapidly approaching and I’m nowhere near 1000, so I might as well get it out there now.
First, I started with dual Pikachu. While Pikachu is mostly reliable, it is far more vulnerable to hax than Chansey, and since speed control cannot be assured you need to have multiple chances at success
Next, I added a Registeel. Its great bulk and steel typing let it switch into a wide variety of threats, and Prankster glare allows it remove the possibility of speed ties. U-turn is a slow pivoting move that can bring the team in safely.
After that, I needed an answer to stall. Specs Mega Rayquaza was my best option, with almost 0 switchins even without Stealth Rock. It can also RK some frail sweepers, and break substitute.
With my team as it was, I had no answers to Shedinja, so I needed a mold breaker. Mega Aerodactyl was my pick because of its high speed (enough to outspeed MMY and Mega Gengar, the latter of which ignored Pikachu and requires very little chip damage to defeat MRay). With Stealth Rock, Spore, and Taunt it can assure hazards stay up, and it can use Pursuit as an emergency answer to Shedinja.
After that, I was looking for an offense breaker, and my eyes settled on MMy. It outspeeds Mega Gengar, can take on stall, and most importantly is walled by Registeel, allowing me to improof it without dedicating a more pokemon to doing so. It also handles PH Tyranitar, which is otherwise a major issue.

Pikachu-Cosplay @ Light Ball

- Fake Out
- Water Shuriken
- Extreme Speed
- Knock Off
The main Revenge Killers of the team, Cosplay Champion (x2) is invaluable in most matchups. Once you imposter their win condition, it’s almost always game over. The moves pre-imposter are almost never used, so they are designed for the times imposter doesn’t activate. Knock Off deals removes eviolites from imposter chansey, Fake Out breaks illusion without putting Pikachu at risk, Extreme Speed breaks MRay’s subs, and Water Shuriken handles Mega Gengar’s substitutes. The investment is odd as well, but HP is needed for imposters and Attack is the only other stat you’ll ever use.
Rayquaza-Mega @ Choice Specs
Ability: Aerilate
EVs: 4 Atk / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Boomburst
- Techno Blast
- Magma Storm / Volt Switch
- Extreme Speed / Secret Sword
The most powerful pokemon in BH, Mega Rayquaza is all but impossible to switch into. Boomburst is the spam move of choice, dealing heavy damage to anything that tries to come in and wall. Techno Blast does the same, except it deals with Soundproof pokemon and gives 8 more PP. Magma Storm can pick off Shedinja and opposing Steel-Type pokemon, while the other option of Volt Switch handles prediction and allows you to safely bring in Mega Aerodactyl against Shedinja. Secret Sword versus Extreme Speed is a matter of preference; I myself prefer the occasional revenge KO, but Secret Sword handles Tyranitar and Dialga efficiently while still smacking Chansey, Registeel, and Regirock
Aerodactyl-Mega @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Pursuit
- Stealth Rock
- Spore
- Taunt / Diamond Storm
While it’s primary goal is to KO Shedinja for its teammates, Aerodactyl can also pull it’s weight in other matches. Stealth Rock guarantees many KOes such as MRay vs Chansey and discourages switches, while Taunt+Spore prevents most pokemon from setting hazards of their own. Pursuit can also get chip damage versus Pokemon such as Aegislash and Giratina after you Taunt them. Diamond storm is also an option for more offensive presence, but I find the current moveset more generally useful.
Registeel @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Glare
- U-turn
- Recover
- Topsy-Turvy / Haze
Speed control, -ate check, slow pivot, imposterproofer - while Registeel is not optimized for any of these roles it fulfills them well, and the sheer role compression is incredible. Glare makes impostering trivial, U-Turn brings my nukes in safely, Recover keeps this healthy, and Topsy-Turvy/Haze handle setup. Haze does better versus Mega Rayquaza, Baton Pass, and Mega Gengar; Topsy Turvy is better versus imposters, Lati@s, Mega TTar, and contrary.
Mewtwo-Mega-Y @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Psychic
- Tail Glow
- King's Shield
Last but certainly not least, we have Mega Mewtwo Y. The incredible speed tier is the best thing about this, but the special attack is nothing to scoff at; Moonblast OHKOes most PH TTar after Stealth Rocks, and standard PH Yveltal is destroyed. Psychic is a nuke that hits neutral targets extremely hard, OHKOing PDon with ease. Tail Glow allows this to break stall, while King’s Sheild blocks -ate if you don’t want to imposter it and scouts for sets.

Threatlist:
Mega Gengar:
Despite the measures I took, this is still a major threat. Normalize is the bigger issue, but any set can be deadly if mishandled. The best counterplay is to keep up the offensive pressure and ensure it can’t come in on Registeel, but that isn’t always an option
Poison Heal Mega Tyranitar:
My only answer is to use moonblast on MMY, which obviously can’t come in, and Sucker Punch makes a mockery of even that. Pikachu can RK diamond storm sets, but the use of Knock Off and Will-O-Wisp makes that unreliable.
Assault Vest Regenerator Mega Metagross:
This walls MMY, Pikachu, and can threaten out Aerodactyl with Bullet Punch. It can also come in on Specs Boomburst several times and then force out MRay. While Registeel can easily come in, U-turn makes that risky in terms of momentum. Magma Storm does 2HKO, but it’s a bad move to be locked into and is rather inaccurate
Imposter Chansey:
While Chansey cannot safely come in on any pokemon, once in it can do a lot of damage. Stealth Rocks being set is annoying without hazard removal, Mewtwo hits hard (especialy once boosted), and if it imposters Mega Rayquaza it can bypass Registeel with some luck. Luckily, a Choice Specs Boomburst+Moonblast KOes MRay.
Prankster:
Prankster pokemon can tear fairly massive holes in my team. With Spore and Safety Goggles they can take out Pikachu, while Prankster Dark Void is something I have no answer too. Prankster Encore and Topsy Turvy stop MMY from beating walls like Registeel, while priority recovery prevents chip from adding up. My best bet is to use Mega Rayquaza against them,and hope they don't get too lucky.
I went for higher but Anna swapped her sets on me :C
