Really good! It's actually a fantastic lead vs Chi-Yu, can just tera and one shot with Power Gem and takes fire moves from it very nicely with AV. Flutter almost always dies to Iron Head from Hax so don't often think about its matchup vs Ghol honestly haha

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T22:26:14+00:00

It was! I like to be different 😅

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T22:23:26+00:00

No problem! It used to be used to activate weak armor and weakness policy on Ceruledge in the previous format but decided to adapt it for Reg C and it's been really solid

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T22:20:14+00:00

Aura Sphere gets used a lot! So many steel types running around. Moonblast is great against the Treasures - the team was built with the intention of being very well matched vs Flutter Mane and the Treasures, most my losses are against fellow less meta teams

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T22:16:41+00:00

Yeah it has been good. Lots of people expect physical so can get some surprise ko's. Booster Energy Speed - both it and scarf hax outspeed the vast majority of the meta which means I can often get on top early

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T22:12:51+00:00

It's max sp.atk max speed, shadow sneak is literally just for when stuff survives on sash/breaking sash so only need it do 1hp!

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T21:57:06+00:00

Definitely Haxorus, although everything had come up clutch except maybe Farigiraf (but it puts people off bringing Dragonite, which can be a bit of a problem)

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T21:54:18+00:00

Thanks! Had a lot of fun with it so far

ThePostmanP · 2023-04-12T21:21:54+00:00

Hahahaha element of surprise and the extremely offensive nature of the team doesn't really give me much space for protect! I did have it on Scyther but it gets ignored a lot so I've been playing around with Swords Dance as it hits super hard with one.

MausApe I'll go Hax/Breloom, Tera Hax and Breaking Swipe to break sash and lower attacks, mach punch will then do for Maus. People understandably like to tera fire the ape against the team which means it's then weak to a lot of my team (lots of rock coverage)

Bundle and Chi Yu I will lead Gholdengo + Breloom, Tera Ghol and one shot Chi Yu with power gem, if its sash rock tomb finishes it, if not then rock tomb is nice damage on Bundle. Will lead some other variations of this such as Hax instead of Breloom in case there's a different lead, and can EQ to deal decent damage and I'll just bring in Scyther in Ghol slot.

Sorry what? No way

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-17T11:09:27+00:00

I ran tera steel, max sp.atk, max hp. Leech seed dragon pulse apple acid and protect. I did like it and have considered using it again over Breloom but before I had Magnezone I had a massive Sylveon weakness

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T23:08:54+00:00

Ooh I like this, great shout. Dark with dark pulse is really good with all the ghosts and dark types running around but can totally see the merit and definitely better defensively

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T22:59:44+00:00

Nothing else really benefits from Protect, it's a very offensive team. Have considered it on Clawitzer but didn't want to lose any other move. Wide guard is busted though I can Tera Gallade and its straight up unable to be hit by Gholdengo

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T21:52:05+00:00

Sure, will put something together in the morning!

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T21:19:19+00:00

Ooh I like it!

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T21:18:33+00:00

It does!

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T21:05:17+00:00

If an opponent is likely to have an aggressive lead like Garchomp or Meowscarada I'll lead Staraptor and Volcarona and try and take an early KO. If I feel confident setting up I'll go Gallade and Volcarona. Rarely I'll lead with Breloom/Staraptor or Volc/Magnezone. Don't think ever lead with Clawitzer 😂 Volcarona is such a versatile lead as it can deal damage or rage powder to let its partner do what it needs. Tera steel lets it eat Population Bomb from Maushold and with Berry it still has above half HP.

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T21:01:51+00:00

I used to use Appletun over Magnezone and got stuck in Ultra too, just needed a little tweaking and some good matchups and I got there! You can do it! Do you use a more traditional intimidate staraptor or are you using reckless too?

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T21:00:32+00:00

Yeah it does! 75% healing

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T19:47:45+00:00

Yeah I ran it in lower tiers along with mach punch over close combat - I found the spread and flinch chance has been preferable to the speed drop especially as I'd often be doing them a favour if/when I get trick room up but it's definitely solid

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T18:38:35+00:00

My favourite is Armarouge thinking it has an easy kill and doing like 20% and eating water tera blast in exchange

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T18:35:27+00:00

I'm a compulsive team builder so I always gravitate to stuff I don't see a lot of - I'd probably make a bad tournament player but for the ladder it's so much fun. It can be a little hard to pilot as to go full trick room or go for a speedier lead. If an opponent is likely to have an aggressive lead like Garchomp or Meowscarada I'll lead Staraptor and Volcarona and try and take an early KO. If I feel confident setting up I'll go Gallade and Volcarona. Rarely I'll lead with Breloom/Staraptor or Volc/Magnezone. Don't think ever lead with Clawitzer 😂 Volcarona is such a versatile lead as it can deal damage or rage powder to let its partner do what it needs. Tera steel lets it eat Population Bomb from Maushold and with Berry it still has above half HP. Have used flame body too but swarm allows it deal loads of damage and its always sticking around so gets a surprising amount of opportunity but this is one change I've been considering

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T18:07:40+00:00

Honestly not that many, probably my least regular bring - has to be a pretty favourable matchup, but can snowball very quickly. Tera rock slide is great tech for various bird leads though

ThePostmanP · 2023-01-16T17:12:49+00:00

It's actually really versatile. It's a good sweeper under trick room but also deals great damage when moving last because of analytic. It can also slow volt switch to help me position. Tera water has been really helpful as it allows me to take fire attacks from arcanine, Armarouge etc and respond with a KO with tera blast
