SnowCristal Presents...
Hi there! Today I'll post a balance team I built some time ago. Maybe you'll know it just because you faced it on ladder. After some lose, i was deleting it but testing randomly on Pokemon Showdown!'s Ladder and fixing it step by step i noticed this team is absolutely solid and powerful and i Peaked First 1982 on that ladder without problems. So i decided to post it here for you. Waiting Mega Slowbro, I wanted to try a different kind of set for that retard mon (but almost lovely <3): Assault Vest Slowbro. Thundurus, Rotom-W, Venusaur, Gengar... are just a little part of the problems of Slowbro, that can check everything. For this and for other reasons i choose AV Raikou, a great counter of a big part of these monsters. I needed Hazardz, and i was weak to AV Azumarill and Latwins... a Ferrothorn here was obvious. Then Charizard X was broken, and i choose Landorus-T, giving him a Choice Scarf for Rkilling.
I was absolutely stall weak, and for this i inserted StallBreaker Mew + Mega Heracross. I hope you'll like it! Obviously if you want you can try it. Let's see in detail!
Slowbro :3333 prolly one of the cutest mon ever made. With assault vest he can tank 2 Latwins' Meteors, can remain on Rotom-W, can win against Greninja without HP Grass or Dark Pulse, Keldeo, in the 1 vs 1 against Landorus... all this special bulkyness combined with a strong physical bulkyness. You can replace a move between Psyshock and Fire Blast with Grass Knot to win against Mega Gyarados. AV + Regenerator is absolutely durable. Fire Blast can baitkill pokèmons like Mega Scizor and Ferrothorn (especially in the early game, when your oppo is scouting). Scald burn is also a nice thing (i really want to change it in surf, for me burn is literally an optional). Psyshock is great just for Megasaur, Keldeo and Amoonguss and in rare cases. Ice beam is a great move against Latwins, Landorus(s), Thundurus Switchin....
We all know Ferrothorn: since BW he is one of the pillars of the metagame. Ferrothorn is a bulky mon with an incredible defense and a great Spdef, possibility of two hazards, Recovery made by Seeds + Leftovers... His evs spread is defensive almost than spdefensive to tank Drum Azumarill and a Focus Blast of Mega Gardevoir. She tanks Latwins and Rotom, and Dark Pulse Greninja without HP Fire. She also has a great sinergy with Slowbro and the volturn core can give her a nice chance of setting hazardz.
Scarf Landorus-T at the moment is one of the most used Landorus-T and Pokèmon in general. He do really nice damages and with a volturn move can confuse his oppo and take advantage from the Stealth Rocks. Evs spread is to outspeed scarf Excadrill and the common Bulky Char X. Edge (my edge miss everytime but ok) is a great move against MegaPinsir for RKilling, Thundurus and sometimes also against other Landorus. Earthquake is the main and powerful stab. Intimidate is also a perfect trait that made Landorus-T a nice switch in against Mega Heracross or others Landorus.
In this metagame Assault Vest Raikou is absolutely amazing. A great bulkyness combined with serious damages. Volt switch give me a nice combo with Landorus-T's U-Turn. Thunderbolt is the main stab that i use when i need more power or if i don't want to switch. Hidden Power [Ice] is a great move against Gliscor, Landorus, Dragons.... The only strange thing is Shadow Ball that i prefer to Extrasensory because i'm a bit weak to Mega Gardevoir, Mew and HP fire Latwins. He attracts Tyranitar and use volt switch, becaming setupping field for Heracross.
And now, finally, my mega evolution. With this set Mega Heracross is problematic for Hyper Offense than Stall teams. Sub makes me the chance to set up on mew (Adamant MCross is slow but if i use sub with Heracross...) and then do damages. Heracross has Moxie to take a sort of boost if you're sure to kill a mon. He is my answer to breloom, megasaur, conkeldurr and bisharp.
This thing *-* so cute but at the same time Lethal against Stall. You can run Defog>Taunt but there isn't a big Hazard's Weakness so i prefer Taunt to stallbreak entire Stall Teams. We all know Stallbreaker mew. Can win against whole teams, and in some case win also against heatran. His WoW is useful to burn Tyranitar, Azumarill and annoying threats. He also destroy the Skarm Bliss core.
I hope you like it almost than I like it :D Lemme know ^^
