Resource SV Monotype Sample Teams [Indigo Disk] | Submissions Open!

[jfarias84]

I really like this team. One thing to note - I have never found any speed EVs useful on Rotom. Instead, if you put 36 SPA EVs while maintaining the rest in Max HP/D Bold, you guarantee live mold breaker Drill EQ and guarantee OHKO it back with hydro pump.

Thanks for the Advice buddy

Hello, another wave of sample checking and:

Well since there's a race to submit a Sand Ground team and I have nothing better to do today, I thought I'd submit the team I've been tinkering with. It's gotten me some modest ladder wins, and it's extremely fun and easy to use. It's great to have Exca back in SV, it's the best asset that the type has.

(Having the worst time posting sprites, so please excuse the bland-looking post lol)

This team revolves around momentum. Any way to grab momentum to give sweepers (70% of the time Excadrill) the chance to immediately threaten.

Hippowdon is the standard lead set with Eject Button. Whether it's to finish out a game with Excadrill or sponge a hit and get the battle out of a sticky situation, Hippo can swipe momentum away once. SR can be set up at any point in the battle, usually against a physical threat, but it's EV'd to take a fair amount of special hits. Whirlwind phazes set up sweepers out, and it works fantastic in tandem with Toxic Spikes.

Excadrill is the lead sweeper, and it's by far the fastest team member. The differences with this Excadrill set is Rock Slide to threaten Flying types and X Scissor for Grass types (namely Ogerpon). It's also handy for Psychic and Dark for which the team does not have anything else significant to hit those types super effectively and sweep. It's especially helpful with avoiding mind games and the Lati-Twins + Slowbro.

This Lando-I set is also untraditional since it features U-Turn. It's another tool to put the battle in your favor as Landorus threatens out a lot, but it also has the added fun benefit of getting a sweeper in safely with Gravity set up, which not only greatly benefits the flying matchup, but also prevents the choice banded Pokemon from having to choose to be lock into Earthquake (once again, especially Excadrill). Focus Blast hits bulky normal types such as Porygon2 and Terapogos and Steel and Rock types that Earth Power does not threaten.

Mamoswine is a great choice to take Ice type attacks thanks to Thick Fat. It's incredibly strong and features one of the best priority moves in the game with Ice Shard. It makes the Grass matchup a lot more winnable, and it helps greatly with the Dragon matchup. Icicle Spear is used over Icicle Crash for the 100% accuracy and the added benefit of breaking subs and doing continuous damage. Knock Off is the coverage move of choice since it will almost always make progress in a game.

Ursaluna doubles as a physical tank and special sweeper. Earth Power was forgone here in exchange for priority and recovery. Blood Moon is a literal nuke that can threaten just about anything, and Vacuum Wave compliments it as priority, which becomes a deceptively threatening mix with Calm Mind.

Clodsire is the team's Water Absorber, and it has the great attributes of setting Toxic Spikes to punish frequent switches and neutrality to Grass all the while threatening back. It's a lot less passive than Gastro or Seismitoad ever was, and it's a requisite S-ranked mon for any competent Ground team in SV. The Defense Evs help it better take on Ogerpon which would otherwise threaten the team wholesale.

Description

Hippowdon - Standard physical wall that phases setup sweepers and sets rocks. Rocky Helmet since it’s max HP and Def.

Clodsire - Special wall that hazard stacks with Hippo. Toxic to spread status, recovery, Earthquake the only attacking move. Although, Poison Jab can replace Toxic is need be.

Landorus - Special wallbreaker, Earth Power + 2 coverage moves. Gravity to remove ground immunities while also helping hit Focus Blast and helps Excadrill hit things in the air like Skarmory, Corviknight, Lati@s, Rotom, etc.

Ursaluna-Bloodmoon - Bulky setup sweeper with enough speed for univested base 60s. Moonlight + Lefties for longevity. Vacuum Wave for priority and taking advantage of Mind’s Eye to hit Ghost Types.

Excadrill - The age old banded Sand Rush Excadrill. Dual stab + Rock Slide for perfect coverage. Rapid Spin for hazard removal.

Mamoswine - Another heavy hitter to pair with Excadrill in dual stab + Stone Edge for perfect coverage along with stab priority Ice Shard.

Azick beat you to having his sand ground sample in, so these have to be Rejected, sorry (Sandless Ground still up for grabs)

Dragon Spam Offense

https://pokepast.es/946535b5c5031332

Team Description

This is a Dragon offense designed to overwhelm your opponent with multiple powerful wallbreakers and sweepers. The lead is usually to get up Stealth Rock and then provide chip damage with Body Press and Dragon Tail. It usually gets 1 to 2 kills on opponents that don't have a clear cut counter to it. After this, send in anyone of your sweepers to setup and win the game.( I usually send out first .)Three of my mons have to counteract the very common Sticky Web Hazard strategies. Below is a replay to show how the team works usually:
https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2030705310-qvosn3aau1490vy5t53p73gkvhcbnldpw

Lack of choice scarf user and a bit of lack of synergy in the team makes it a bit iffy to use, so we're Rejecting it.

HyperOffensive Normal

https://pokepast.es/36e623f0093b7ef9

Description:
I like to let replays speak for itself but here is a short description. Your lead varies depending on matchup.

Ursaluna-BM: Pretty much the standard set on smogon. One calm mind can pretty much win you the game. Set up after toucannon burns an important MU. Hyper Voice in place of Blood Moon for stall teams (which aren't seen that often tbh).

Zoroark-Hisui: Mixed attacker with some utility with a focus on the physical side. Destroy kingambit and ttar with low kick.

Ditto: Don't use ditto until late game unless they set up early, then you can revenge kill. If its normal vs normal and they have smeargle, you can lead ditto and spore early. Also ditto their defogger or rapid spinner if you find it necessary.

Terapagos: With STAB means you use bp 180 tera starstorm most of the time, even if the other moves other super effective. Flamethrower/Earthpower is for different steel MUs depending on their second type. Rapid spin if you need speed. IMO this is the MVP for vs monosteel. Use healing wish on terapagos when low.

Toucannon: Can use him as semi-suicide lead but don't kill him off. switch him out later and try to time their stealth rock into custap range or predict how much damage MUs will do to you. For example, gholdengo/fluttermane thunderbolt doesn't KO you and you can custap someone later. Don't custap if you are anticipating a priority move. Instead, switch to indeedee which will negate the priority move. Bullet seed for swampert, flutter mane, gastrodon. Rock blast for super effective hits. Beak blast if you need to burn someone important or KO. Roost can be used instead of brick break as beak blast almost always does more damage and brick break is only used for breaking screens/veils or against some steel MU, which is situational.

Indeedee: 98% of the time you will be using expanding force or healing wish. Dazzling Gleam only if you have no choice (usually better to just switch out). Maybe you will feel that indeedee is useless this match, so use healing wish on someone more important like terapagos or ursaluna. Try not to outplay yourself by using zoroark's shadow sneak when psychic terrain is up.

Top threats: mandibuzz, urshifu, Frosmoth, Moltres-Galar, primarina, clodsire, excadrill, dragapult.

01/26/24 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2042418198 (vs normal, this shows that ursaluna +3 CM survives against ditto mirror, while OHKO ditto; thus can set up on blissey)

01/27/24 https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9monotype-2045495974 (vs psychic; i think its the same psychic sample down below this post, burn was pretty important here)




Edit: Changed the ditto to reflect the set on smogon (same moves just different EVs and stuff).
Edit 2: Slight change to indeedee, zoroark, terapargos, and ursaluna bm. I changed zoroark comeuppance to grass knot for more consistency. The IVs will OHKO ursaluna bm, urshifu, terrakion, and threatens dondozo on switch-in among others. Added some speed to terapagos to outspeed certain MUs. Ursaluna BM switched earth power for vacuum wave. I can argue for either or but it just fits better with the team.
Edit 3: i promise this is gonna be the last change.... switched ice beam for rapid spin and specs for heavy duty boots for terapagos... specs was overrated and terapagos just needs like 5-10 more sp atk to make use of it, ice beam was hardly used and the terapagos appreciates the flexibility more when playing vs monosteel. switched temper flare for brick break on toucannon for more support.

Some Pokemon are a bit questionable, so we'll have to Reject it.

Hazard Stack Steel

https://pokepast.es/0c630d4564f8a80a

Description

Fairly simple hazard stack team. Steel has several excellent hazard setters and has Gholdengo to keep the hazards up.
Skarmory is the Spikes setter and ground immunity. It is the primary physical wall and is a possible win condition with ID + Body Press if opposing special threats are removed.
Archaludon is the rocks setter rather than Heatran to permit Heatran to run Taunt instead. Archaludon's Dragon typing provides valuable resistances, particularly to Water, and Stamina lets it answer many otherwise threatening Pokemon. Archaludon has Dragon Tail for phazing and Body Press to take advantage of Stamina boosts. Iron Head is used as the third attack since the team otherwise may lack enough Steel moves (only Make It Rain). Earthquake and Thunder Wave are other options.
Kingambit is a late-game sweeper and uses Black Glasses for extra damage (though Leftovers is also usable). It is EV'd to outspeed uninvested Corviknight.
Heatran is the special wall and fire immunity, using Magma Storm and Protect to deal residual damage, but it also has stallbreaking capabilities with trapping and Taunt. It is EV'd to outspeed max speed Kingambit.
Balloon Gholdengo provides a valuable temporary Ground immunity and uses a standard Nasty Plot set. Focus Blast can be used over Recover to better hit Dark and Steel types like Kingambit.
Scarf Iron Treads provides speed control and hazard removal (though it is somewhat unreliable as a hazard remover without boots). Rock Slide hits Volcarona (outspeeding it at +1) and Flying types, while Ice Spinner hits Pokemon like Garchomp, Gliscor, Lando-I, and Dragonite. Knock Off can be used over either move to be better versus Boots users.

Too similar to Scarlet's submission, so we have to Reject this :<

new PFP, new sample sub


NP Deo-S + Eject Button Slowbro Psychic HO

I was struck by the addition of Deo-S after I was singlehandedly swept by it under terrain. I decided "Hey, let's try to build it". And here we stand. Indeedee is the prototypical Psychic Terrain setter, while Eject Button Slowbro functions as a one-time free switch to any threat of your choice. Deo-S can singlehandedly win if it gets an NP off, which isn't difficult with its pretty threatening (even when unboosted) Expanding Force. Hoopa-U is another incredibly dangerous wallbreaker that decimates slower teams. Latios has grown on me since its newfound access to Flip Turn, and it's another pretty strong breaker that has pivoting capabilities to smash teams open with one of the other threats. Finally, Iron Boulder is the counter to quite a few big threats that can outrun Deo-S with a Choice Scarf, like Roaring Moon and Meowscarada - first, go to Slowbro, then to Boulder to threaten with CC.

Anti-Dragon Steel

https://pokepast.es/266fea5762795a45

Description

Given that dragon is the dominant force in the meta right now having a counterteam might be useful, steel has one of the better matchups so i did my best to tech for the dragon matchup while still being viable in other ones.
- Heatran is one of two ways to beat most sets, preserving air balloon while gouging is still alive will allow for those running fire/ground as their offense to be completely neutralised. Power gem is used in order to hit any levitating pokemon that may like to switch into the expected earth power and rocks are always nice against a type that has no removal. The speed is just enough to outspeed defensive garchomp.
- Kingambit is late game cleanup while also holding an air balloon in order to check if one gets out of control, low kick is a 100% chance to kill if two allies are dead.
- Gholdengo is one of two scarfers on the team, and it can cripple one of dragons main defensive tools in with trick, outspeeding and killing is also very appriciated. The immunity to status and scarf also allows it to beat running a status set very nicely.
- Corviknight is used over due to the utility of hazard removal and u-turn being prefered over spikes when considering that many dragon teams run heavy duty boots on a lot of mons.
- Goodra-Hisui can take any and all special attacks from dragon players, and threaten back with draco meteor, dragon tail is included as what can happen after you pick up a kill with draco meteor is coming in and setting up as you switch out which can be scary.
- Archaludon makes for an excellent scarfer, in that it can come in, outspeed most things and then one shot with draco meteor, it also is our second check as it can take a +1 earthquake and kill it in return, this does leave you much more vunerable than the goodra situation as you are locked into a special move while being -2, but the rest of the team is able to cover this weakness.

[Scarfire]

Jahkem beat me to the punch in dumping a bunch of teams (really like your sandless ground and psychic teams btw, made me decide to delete my own attempts at them). Heres a bunch of shit based off what Neko said was missing. Some are just tweaks to previous rejected submissions of mine.


Double Steel-Dragon

https://pokepast.es/05adf48341aa44bc

Team Description

Double steel core, covers most of the annoying ice and fairy threats using Archaludon and Goodra. Team is very capable of beating basically any type. Archaludon checks physical ice and dragon hits from stuff like Mamoswine, Chien-Pao, Baxcalibur, and Gouging Fire, and Goodra takes special ones from stuff like Greninja, Dragapult, Flutter, and Latios. Dragapult here is just a status pivot, being made to beat out annoying threats like Zamazenta, and paired with scarf Latias, fighting can be completely won. Gouging has 3 attacks to beat out fire and steel easier in case of a Balloon Heatran; you can use dragon claw to pop it and sweep. Latias healing wish makes up for lack of recovery. Similarly, Baxcalibur is there to help break flying/ground/water and mirror with the help of Gouging, and once again is given more opportunity to do so with healing wish support. Jolly Glaive Rush is better rn to take out threats like jolly mamoswine or opposing adamant/slower Baxcaliburs and Gouging Fires.

Goodra-Hisui Steel

https://pokepast.es/401d391b81858a6f

Team Description

Goodra-Hisui allows steel to have a solid special water attack absorber, and a nicer steel mirror matchup by having a secondary Heatran answer. Its Heavy Slam also provides an out vs the Primarina's on the rise. This team uses Goodra's Dragon Tail + Knock Off paired with Skarmory's spikes + whirlwind and Heatrans rocks-taunt to play a long game of chip to help setup the 2 priority sweepers in the back to win. Skarmory is boots whirlwind to help in preventing a loss to Azumarill. Balloon Heatran is a nice Gouging Fire check and decent wallbreaker into types like flying and fire. Kingambit is balloon here because it can late-game sweep ground pretty easily and helps keep it spikes immune for a while vs dark so you can low kick and claim some kills. Scizor is also knock here to remove more boots/lefties, and scarf Gholdengo is just basic speed control + defog prevention.

Sunless Fire

https://pokepast.es/4649a09f5d68f8de

Team Description

While not as good as sun fire at the moment, there is some merit to sunless, which is simply Arcanine-Hisui. Its a scarfer that allows fire to more offensively destroy annoying threats, being able to pick off stuff like Gouging Fire, Dragapult, Flutter Mane, and Greninja. Extremespeed is here just to help take out Azumarill (it doesnt kill after belly drum at all, but neither do Ceruledge shadow sneak or Talonflame brave bird. Extremespeed is just extra insurance to pick it off after sacrificing something). Talonflame helps make the fighting matchup more doable, and with lack of sun it helps to kill annoying things like Ogerpon-Wellspring, and provide defog support. Spdef Heatran supports with rocks and sponging draco meteors from the likes of Dragapult and power gems from Flutter Mane.

Stall Flying

https://pokepast.es/bd7170593d982bbf

Team Description

Stall flying with all the necessities; a status/knock absorber, an undying knock off spreader and assault vest pivot (that helps beat gholdengo and ogerpons), double hazards, toxic, phasing, hazing, double pressure users and a regenerator pivot. Skarmory is often annoyed into iron defencing or roosting, so I opted to keep the pressure of spamming spikes off of it and onto Gliscor. Gyarados' last move is up for grabs, I went with rest not just for longevity but also because it helps with a potential PP war into opposing flying teams. Corviknight spread lets it OHKO Chien and Flutter while preserving high spdef; covert cloak prevents CM Primarina psychic noise from blocking healing, and Hatterene nuzzle from paralyzing. Also can prevent Chien Pao flinch in a pinch.

Balance Water / Rainless Water

https://pokepast.es/b31fb8fa5ef2006e

Team Description

This is basically the same as the team I recently shared in MWP team dump but with Keldeo > Wake. Wake had a very specific job on that team which isn't necessary to replicate on average, and Keldeo is far more comfortable as a steel-breaker, kingambit answer beyond just encore-ogerpon, and something that hassles Flying enough for Ogerpon + Greninja to win. Specs Greninja is the main breaker, beating down fighting, dragon, and flying. Sludge Wave helps kill Ogerpons, and paired with Toxic Spikes help beat Fairy. Samurott is the best speed control you're getting outside of rain abusers, as beyond just being able to kill annoying fast threats like Dragapult/Flutter, it provides support in knock off and spikes which is valuable in basically all matchups.

Specs Zoroark Normal

https://pokepast.es/0be4e15828c05862

Team Description

Doing some copypasting from previous submission: Porygon2 is the cornerstone of mono normal, beating out dragon, ground, water, flying, all with ease. Baxcalibur can give normal some trouble, which is where Foul Play helps. Download as an ability is nice, however trace lets Pory2 be a nuisance; copying Gliscor's poison heal as it toxic's, copying stamina from Archaludon and 1v1'ing it, copying Chien-Pao's Sword of Ruin and thus cancelling it out and avoiding 2hko from Sacred Sword (idk why 2 swords of ruin cancel out, but thats how it works.) Blissey's job is just to sponge special hits, set rocks, spread status, and get out. Ditto is just the simple anti-offence and speed control, and helps further make the hard matchups of dragon and ghost turn to your favor. Ursaluna-BM sits on a lot of types (dark, dragon, ground, steel) and can sweep with EP + Vacuum Wave. Zoroark is the fighting immunity, steel-breaker, and helps remove hard to beat threats like nasty plot gholdengo and iron defence skarmory. Trick helps disrupt vs threats getting out of hand.

Life Orb Valiant Fighting

https://pokepast.es/73591d163238b951

Team Description

Standard Zamazenta/Tusk/Hands/Sneasler. The Life Orb Valiant is a flying and water breaker, and its also dangerous into dragon and mirror. Specs Keldeo helps Zama beat ground, forcing in Clodsire/Forcing out Excadrill with Vacuum. Vacuum also lets Keldeo break opposing Zama substitutes in a pinch (non Max HP ones, but even those break on a roll), which can help a follow up kill from Valiant be possible. Keldeo is also very nice into the ever present fire matchup, made even easier with Great tusk + Sneasler.

Hoopa Offence

https://pokepast.es/eb18b482ecb5880b

Team Description

Faster take on dark; set hazards and go. Where the team lacks in moonblast resists for Flutter/Enam, it has scarf knock off from meow, sableye's thunder wave, and double priority. Hoopa helps pave the way for the other 3 offensive mons to just break through ground/water/flying/dragon, and most importantly it helps make steel and fighting winnable, and checks ursaluna-bloodmoon. Air Balloon Kingambit is just as nice as it gets, being spikes immune and having the opportunity to randomly setup on ground pokemon and end the game is huge. Scarf Meow is as fast as it gets and helps knock off threats and pivot in Hoopa to claim a kill. Physdef Bpress Ting-Lu can be used early in mirror to potentially take out opposing Chien-Pao, and basically securing the matchup.

Primarina Fairy

https://pokepast.es/99018b93efbc7545

Team Description

Standard screens fairy, not too far off from the current sample but more in line with the fairy used a lot recently in tours. Primarina helps a lot in this Gouging meta and is also good to have into both steel and fire, giving you a heatran resist and a secondary threat into the types alongside Valiant and Power Gem Flutter respectively.

Edit: added this fairy team, and edited the keldeo set on the water

 

[boomp]

Hoodra Steel

https://pokepast.es/23d376507059ed02

Description

Pretty straight forward Hoodra team with Offensive Heatran. Opted in for 3 attack so we dont get walled by opposing Heatrans which is crucial in the mirror. Hoodra evs just hits the jump point on the SpD side. 2a + ID Skarmory because we dont like being walled by ghost switch in + nice to hit fighting types with Brave Bird.

Hazardless Normal

https://pokepast.es/0c005740863e0f80

Description

Hard to fit so many key components. so I decided to go for a P2, cinccino, and ditto team. Opted close combat over u turn on Braviary because I want to threaten Chien-Pao and Kingambit. You are barely clicking U-turn in this meta anyway. Normal needs more physical mons so i opted for cinccino to fill that role. Tidy Up + b seed and axel helps alot in the water, flying and dragon match up. P2 is nice to trace Thick Fat Mamoswine and Swords of Ruin Pao. Shadow Ball on Blissey because I dont want to be vunerable to Ghost. (1v1 Flutter Mane well). Hisuian Zoroark and Ditto is pretty standard :D

Edit: Saw my Hoodra not have the right nature, changed it to sassy and Rock Blast on Cinncino because i want to hit gouging<3

 

[Dead by Daylight]

Balanced Ghost

Description

This team is built around the Skeledirge / Pecharunt / Brambleghast defensive core, which has excellent type synergy as well as defensive attributes. AoA Flutter Mane poses a threat to many a type with its colorful coverage and is one of the main offensive pieces on this team. Skeledirge and Pecharunt form a nasty physically defensive core, while Brambleghast serves as a Ground immunity, Spinner, and hazard stacker. Gholdengo essentially stops any and all Spikes from being removed by the opponent and serves as speed control, while Spectrier is a good option into bulkier teams. Alluring Voice on Skeledirge is to hit Roaring Moon, mainly, and the team already has an abundance of Ghost STAB so I didn't think it was needed.

I have two for Electric

ELECTRIC BALANCED OFFENSE



https://pokepast.es/a098f621f70807a0

Descripion

Team may only have one physical attacker but it is the best one for Electric, utilizing the Shuca set to ensure you can stay in against threats with EQ/EP and KO them back. Raging bolt gives you a bulky setup special attacker with priority, while Zapdos in boots fills the flying role without worrying about hazards; hurricane and heat wave add much needed stab/coverage and discharge combined with static can help flip the table against fast threats. Defensive Wash walls a lot of physical attackers and can even survive EQ from mold breaker Excadrill while KO'ing back with Hydro pump. AV Zone has a lot of use this gen, giving a fighting chance again fairy threats like Flutter Mane, while analytic ensures it still hits hard. Finally, clean up with the super useful scarfed Earth Power from Sandy Shocks. When played right, this can easily clean up types like Fire and Ghost.

-------

ELECTRIC DOUBLE FIGHTING OFFENSE



https://pokepast.es/2cbfb2868b79231c

Descripion

This team takes advantage of two excellent fighting/electric Pokemon to provide more balanced attack. Pawmot is faster and has priority, while also having the utility of Revival Blessing to bring a teammate back, while the usual SD/Shuca Iron Hands carries unbelievable bulk and power. Instead of a full speed boots Zapdos, this is a slightly bulkier variant that can use Tailwind to catch teams off guard while hitting 526 speed to pass most significant +1 offensive mons. This team still uses the defensive core of Rotom Wash and AV Magnezone, the latter of which is quite necessary to compensate for having two Pokemon weak to Fairy and Psychic attackers. Once again, Scarf Sandy Shocks is here to clean up.

DESCRIPTION

Pretty much the standard wallbreaker set but it's EVd to outpace Pelipper. Not much to say about the mon, it's fairly simple and a nice situational Ghost-type immunity. Vacuum Wave is just amazing to remove Chien-Pao and other threatening mons like Gren and Meow.


Must have on Ground teams due to water absorb and grass neutrality. EVd to live 2 Ice Beams from Choice Scarf greninja and dump in def to combat ogerpon-w and meow a bit better.


Really bulky wall that forces a lot of progress with spikes and toxic. EVd for alolan sandslash out of snow as gliscor is gonna be very helpful with stalling out snow turns via protect, rest is dumped in spdef to balance out the bulk a bit and ofc 244 hp to optimize poison heal. super annoying to face and can be considered the glue for this team, also a ground immune for clod and treads which is a +.


One of the OG sets this gen with only one change being megahorn > ice spinner for ogerpon-w. Very straightforward pokemon, outspeed all the darks and ice types to obliterate them. Also removes boots with knock forcing progress against water boots spam and ghost teams.


Dedicated hazard removal + steel type which is always great on a grass/ice weak type. Also a huge asset in fairy mu vs stuff like hatterene and psyshock fmane. Protect mainly stalls out snow turns and is a huge pain for alolatales/frosmoth in general. Outpaces base 100s but this spread could probably be more modernized.


Needed a rock setter and nmi mamoswine is a really nice set that bluffs band. Also a good ice check due to tfat and neutrality. Hits grass/flying types and also takes out weakened pult/mane/enam with shard. Could be band but the sets might need to be changed to like rocks + spin tusk and scarf treads but thats not really all that great of a comp rn.

 

[askerinemo]

Edit: Realized I didn't have a name. Full Setup Sweeper Bax is the best I can come up with.

Edit 2.0: The more whimsical name would be PLZ Don't Nerf Monoice, but it's less scientific.

My submission for monoice, because I figured it was criminal we only have one. No offense to mushamu but I'd say the ice meta has shifted a bit and is not reflected in the team we currently have for monoice. I do realize this team kinda depends on Bax not being banned though but oh well. I've worked on this team for months now and I'm pretty confident in this being close to ideal for ice.

https://pokepast.es/b1e08ce6edd9ceea


ps this is my first post ever on smogon forums so I have no idea how to do those fancy buttons.

Description:

The suicide lead. The bane of ice's existence has been consistently Bug, bulky Water, and Steel. SD Scizor alone gives me nightmares. Stealth rock is a must for antibug since monotype Ice has zero fire moves and very few rock options, so that's why suicide lead. It was so bad I used to run mixed sdef/def rocky helm mirror avalugg, for goodness sake (still a very funny set btw and also helps against the maus. Body press, mirror, iron def, recover). Mamoswine's ground/ice typing makes it immune to para, gives STAB EQ, and STAB shard, making it a decent lead. The only other dedicated lead I've used with any consistency is Frosslass (which I used for a while- Taunt/spikes/destiny bond+ focus sash consistently got off a spikes+destiny bond kill, with running shadow ball for STAB). I tend to save Atales for later since I hope to set up snow as much as possible, for both bax and Aslash. Mamo is way better than fross or avalugg against steel, which is quite necessary bc steel is widely considered #2 and dragon often runs two steel mons. Smack down is a weird choice but helps against Skarmory which otherwise threatens ice in general, and is a rock move (I hate bug, nuff said). There's a ton of ways to run Mamo- thick fat if you want it to survive more, life orb for extra hurty ice shard (it's a nuisance, but not super super necessary, bc ice shard is just generally annoying and earthquake is too good to be helped much by life orb), heck a gem... So many options but I like not being taunted.

Chien is op, and the flexibility is much appreciated given the diverse amount of threats which Ice faces. So many things can set up and sweep so chien is a much needed emergency offense, and this flexibility can even win 5v1s in the right situations, which would not be the case in banded. Boots bc I don't want to get locked in and easier to pivot in if necessary and revenge kill. Ig you could run black belt or something idk.

Kyurem is another huge component. Ice sorely needs special attackers as it's almost entirely physical (who can blame EQ, crash, and ice shard for being so good though). AV can take so many punches and Kyurem is just so so so needed. Earth power adds a much needed non EQ ground attack, freeze dry is a great neutral or supereffective option, draco for the pow pow, and focus blast for steel/dark. The occaisonal freeze can often win you a game, so spamming it is great. Such an important pivot it's hard to overstate.

Ninetales is mandetory, not much to say. Freeze dry so useful against water and in case of freeze which, again, can sometimes win you the game.

Bax and Aslash. Not much to say about Bax specifically you can't find in the suspect thread but this build heavily relies on rapid spin. Avalugg and Aslash are the only ice mons with hazard removal and you really can't rely on taunt frosslass. Hazards can be a major problem for ice with both rock and steel weaknesses, and you really want survivable light clay Atales > boots atales or >atales just tanking the hits. Ice is so, so fragile, so you need Atales. So, I had to reform my team around Aslash bc it has more of a threat than avalugg and much more useful hazard removal (avalugg's common sets are super vulnerable to not being able to hit Ghost), allowing Bax and Chien (which otherwise have to run boots which is good bc the team can pretty much ignore hazards at that point but not ideal) to be so much more viable offensively now they don't have to worry about hazards. Bax particularly can run this crazy set bc of this support, since I don't expect to use Bax more than once. Bax is the late game sweeper with chien as backup. Steel is a useful type, slush rush helps a lot with a more rotating Atales, iron head so op, knockoff is nice support, super fang bc why not make gaurantee more damage on a not hyperoffensive set.

Overall, this team is aimed at surviving Ice's many enemies and demolishing Dragon while doing ok with Steel and Ghost. Fairy is more and more of a problem especially w 2 dragon types but oh well. Grass and ground go bye bye. Normal just got to pray your IQ is higher than theirs.

Fighting
https://pokepast.es/2dee23c1ddda8013
This teams relies on two bulky AV mons gallade and okidogi able to take a lot of special hits and helping the type versus poison and dragon. Valiant can take some landorus or gliscor with ice punch while thunderbolt is for the steel birds and other water or flying mons. Zamazenta is here for the lack of speed and ada allow to outspeed Lati@s. Supercell slam allows to 2HKO corviknight after SR (99,6% 2HKO after SR without lefties to be exact).

Ground with sandy
https://pokepast.es/9244b5489e7873d7
With a defensive core based on gliscor + clodsire, great tusk is able to come back with a bulk up spin set to help here. Sandy Shocks helps with the flying teams. This weird set of ursaluna allows to kill the game with vacuum wave while the ground stab can be taken down. Mammoswine is always here to wallbreak.

Fairy double water
https://pokepast.es/67d77982b155ffbd
This is a strong HO fairy. Iron Valiant and Azumarill allow to compensate the lack of speed with shadow sneak and aqua jet. Klefki is key of the team to help them with screens and hazards (1 hazard is most of the time mandatory).

 

[pikachu<3]

Sash Darkrai Dark HO:
https://pokepast.es/e5acc1de60b5dd03

This team starts applying the pressure turn 1 and never really stops. We put an opponent to sleep with lead Darkrai, and we follow up with strong setup sweepers in SD Chien-Pao and SD Kingambit. We also run Battle Bond Greninja to take advantage of weakened opponents and limit revenge killing options with the speed boost, and we have U-Turn mandi for momentum as well as Scarf Hoopa-U for speed control and special bulk. As long as your moves hit, you can beat any opponent no matter how unskilled you are, making the team ideal for new players.

Dark priority beatdown

https://pokepast.es/c9b2f7060cd39689
This team can apply pressure and apply it quickly. It has each of the Choice items, letting it provide quite the onslaught. Meow and Weavile are good as breakers, being able to KO a couple of Pokémon with ease. It also has Greninja-Bond, who can quickly get a KO and sweep via Battle Bond, and Samurott-Hisui can scout via Scarf Flip Turn, set up via Ceaseless Edge, and deal a lot of damage in its own right via Sharpness. We also have the Gambit, who is a perfect Klefki counter and can break screens as well as be a menacing late game sweeper. However, Darkrai is definitely the key attacker in this team, boasting an incredible Speed and coverage for Fairy and Fighting, the main weaknesses. You’ll also see that it counters those types quite well. Weavile has Poison Jab, Darkrai Sludge Bomb, Greninja-Bond Sludge Wave, and Kingambit Iron Head for Fairies and Darkrai Psychic for Fighters. To fit the priority theme, it excels in that department as well. Everything besides Darkrai and Samurott-Hisui have a priority move, and the two that don’t are fast in their own right. Given the opportunity, they can sweep easily

Ability: Dauntless Shield
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 8 HP / 236 Atk / 32 SpD / 232 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Heavy Slam
- Close Combat
- Psychic Fangs
- Crunch

Zamazenta is an extremely fast and strong hitter, especially with a choice band. 8 HP and 32 SpD Evs, allows it to survive a Moonblast from Scarf Flutter Mane and Revenge Kill it with Heavy Slam. 232 Spe outspeeds Regular Fluttermane or even Chien Pao. The Rest is put into Atk to maximize Damage.
Heavy Slam hits most Fairys very hard, OHKOing Flutter Mane, Iron Valiant and Ninetales-Alolan before it can setup screens.
Close Combat for the strong stab
Psychic Fangs, hits Poison types Very hard and gets rid of annoying screens especially vs. Fairy
Crunch hits Ghost types like Spectrier or Gholdengo who would otherwise wall Zamazenta

Sneasler @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Poison Touch
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 8 HP / 252 Atk / 248 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dire Claw
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Switcheroo

Scarf Sneasler gives great speed control for the team and is great for absorbing Toxic Spikes too. 248 Spe outspeeds scarf Roaring Moon, while being slower than opposing Scarf Sneasler and getting of a slow Uturn, preserving some momentum
Dire Claw is great vs most fairys, while also spreading Status across the opposing Team in combination with Poison Touch as ability
Close Combat, hits steel types, that try to switch into Dire claw
U-turn helps you to keep momentum, and hits psychic types for some good chip damage
The Last moveslot has a few options, i prefer Switcheroo to Cripple a defensive Wall Like toxapex, which this Team really Struggles with, especially in the Poison Matchup, But Fire punch is also a great option hitting, Scizor or Gholdengo, or throat chop, for Dragapult and again Gholdengo

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike @ Punching Glove
Ability: Unseen Fist
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- Aqua Jet

Urshifu-Rapid-Strike is a great Wallbreaker, especially with Surging Strikes, which ignores Iron defense from Skarm or Corviknight, hits multiple Times, which is great against, Sub Gliscor.
Punching Glove is kind of an Awkward Item on Urshifu, but i think it is necessary.
It only works on Surging Strikes, boosting its damage slightly and avoids a ton of damage from Rocky Helmet/Rough Skin + Status from Flame Body/Static
But it also nullifys its ability, which can be annoying vs. Protect Gliscor or Baneful Bunker Toxapex
Close Combat, is the other Strong Stab move and Aqua Jet provides some Priority, Revenge killing Volcarona and Chipping faster Pokemon

Great Tusk @ Leftovers
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 16 HP / 252 Atk / 240 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rapid Spin
- Close Combat
- Headlong Rush
- Ice Spinner

Great Tusk is a great Spinner for the Team, providing Good Defensive Support, while additionally putting a lot of offensive Pressure on the opponnent. Close Combat and Headlong Rush are very strong 120 BP Stab moves, especially Headlong Rush is great vs Poison Types like Toxapex.
In Combination with Rapid Spin it can even become a real threat
Ice Spinner is especially useful against Gliscor and Dragon Types like Latias/Latios and Dragonite
240 Spe still outspeeds Base 85 Pokemon, and gives it a bit more Bulk with 16 Evs in HP. Leftovers provides a bit of useful recovery.
You can also run a more defensive spread and run Stealth Rocks on it since the Team doesnt run Hazards, but most of the Team you dont even need them.

Iron Valiant @ Choice Specs
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Moonblast
- Thunderbolt
- Psyshock
- Shadow Ball

Iron Valiant, is the only Special Attacker on the Team providing necessary Power vs Physically Defensive Pokemon.
Moonblast is great vs Dragon, especially if they dont run Goodra-H, 2Hkoing Archaludon and Gouging Fire.
Thunderbolt hits Bulky Water Types and Flying Types, while Psyshock (or Psychic) hit Poison Types
Shadowball hits most Ghost Types and can even threaten Hatterne.

Iron Hands @ Assault Vest
Ability: Quark Drive
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpD / 4 Spe
Careful Nature
- Drain Punch
- Thunder Punch
- Heavy Slam
- Ice Punch

Iron Hands is an insanely underrated Pokemon, it has great Stats and a decent typing, allowing it to take on Flying Types, while also serving as a special wall with Assault Vest.
It can tank most Special Attacks and hit back even harder. It can tank 2 Extra Sensorys from Specs Greninja, and 2 Luster Purges from Scarf Latios.
252 HP And 252 SpD Maximize the Bulk, while 4 Spe helps to speed creep stuff like, Chansey and Alolan Muk.
Drain Punch gives you a bit of Recovery, Thunderpunch hits flying and water types, Heavy Slam hits Fairys and Ice punch is very useful vs Ground And Dragon Types, but Vswitch can aslo be an option with less speed for some Slow Vswitching

 

[MattyMann]

Offensive Electric

https://pokepast.es/5c2318e9f384b2f6

The idea behind this team is to apply constant pressure with volt switch and powerful threats in thundurus-T and raikou. Raikou has coverage to hit most of the metagame and is faster than non-scarfers. Rotom and zapdos provide much needed bulk and ways to counter difficult matchups such as ground (and surprisingly grass too). Iron hands is one of few viable physical attackers and is nice for wallbreaking. Raging bolt provides nice setup potential and priority, whilst doing solid neutral damage with draco, and eject pack reduces the ability to punish the special attack drop. Manual E-terrain gives another tool for punishing passive play, allowing you to setup a win conidition.

Evs could be slightly more optimised but I have seen surprising success with this team, raikou in particular holds it together well

 

[DaRotomMachine]

Sticky Webs Electric


Webs team that helps maximize the amount of damage the slower Electric types in the tier can deal do to them outspeeding mons that would suaully outspeed them.
Galvantula is the only Webs Setter, with Webs + 2 Attacks +TWave as its movepool.
Pawmot is the speed control if Webs is up and can resurect a team member if needed.
Raging Bolt and Iron Hands are set-up sweepers that take advantage of Webs to patch up their low base speed a little.
Rotom Wash is almost Mandatory on every electric team due to it being able to beat ground 6-0 if set-up correctly, runs SubNP + Hydro Pump and Stored Power.
Choice Specs Zapdos rounds out the team with a hard hitter that also takes advantage of webs to outspeed faster mons.

Description

- Iron Boulder serves as the speed control for the team, which allows it to outspeed the likes of +1 Volcarona, Choice Scarf Iron Valiant, and Chien-Pao. EQ provides great coverage against the likes of Gholdengo. Close Combat is another great coverage option against the likes of Kingambit and Ogerpon-C.

- Indeedee serves as a second form of speed control as well as a Ghost immunity. Its Psychic Terrain not only boosts its teammates' Psychic STAB (bar Latios), but it also prevents revenge killers like Kingambit and Scizor from using their priority moves. Dazzling Gleam allows it to threaten slower Dragons like Roaring Moon. Shadow Ball threatens slower Ghost-types like Ceruledge

- Standard fast suicide lead with Stealth Rock and Spikes. Psycho Boost allows it to weaken a target significantly before it is removed for its teammates to take advantage of

- This is the team's answer to Ground. Draco Meteor powered with Choice Specs is a powerful nuke that allows it to remove annoying walls like Sableye, Archaludon, and Slowbro. Ice Beam is coverage for Latios against Ground-types like Ursaluna-BM, Gliscor, and the Lando formes. Trick allows it to weaken walls like Corviknight and Garganacl by stealing their items.

- Hazard control for the team with Magic Bounce. Calm Mind allows it to serve as a late-game sweeper, especially against teams with a significant amount of special attackers.

- Revenge killer for the team against faster threats like Iron Valiant, Kyurem, Flutter Mane, and Enamorus, although Metagross is best played without Psychic Terrain. EQ is strong especially against walls like Alolan Muk and Empoleon
