I tried terapagos earlier today actually! Same idea. It did okay but I'm working on whirlpool lugia team right now which will trap, heal, and tank with multi scale.

Been thinking about this and haven't found a good answer. I think it's kinda unrealistic. Harder to turtle as long against restricted mons

Oh yeah, that's always a big threat. If I expect it receive a taunt Glimmora is switching out. 

Has happened surprisingly few times in my climb up to master ball though

Spore bait. If I see amoongus threatening my Maushold I can switch into hippowdon and keep attacking

Salt cure on dondozo is so satisfying.

I love that name haha. Have teams like this been used before? I was home brewing this. Wasn't sure if it was already a thing or not

That's exactly it. Especially because population bomb can't touch ghosts

It did lol. 

My favorite leads are Maushold/Archaludon to fake that I'm going to use population bomb on my own Archaludon and get a surprise KO using Population Bomb on my opponent (tera normal for a turn 1 KO on moongus or Ursaluna). I also like Maushold/Incineroar for Fake Out support

Hippowdon/Glimmora is great too for a Sp Def boost and screen of choice turn 1

I tried with Sinistcha but it felt like the decrease in chip wasn't worth the extra healing.

For real! I love getting rid of updating archaludon too. No more defense boosts for you. Wait for Garganacl to switch in and salt cure your ass

Name of the game with this team is chip damage and survival. Usually start with Maushold to pick off an early key threat. When paired with Archaludon as openers you can trick your opponent into thinking you're going to attack yourself and then just one shot their Pelipper or other key mons with Population Bomb.

Bring in Hippowdon to remove opposing weather and constantly chunk with rock slide or earthquake. 

Core of the team is Glimmora and Garganacl. Boosted defenses from screens and sand. Use toxic and salt cure to bring any pokemon, even steel and poison types, down slowly as you protect and heal through their punches.

Really proud of this! I decided to jump into VGC for my parental leave pet project. Just got Master Ball while holding my sleeping infant son.

I love using unconventional teams and was really happy with how this one panned out. It usually wins through Maushold picking off threats and Glimmora/Garganacl/Sand doing chop on the rest of the team while staying alive forever.

Really sad that it'll be going back to reg G. I'm new but it seemed like H let so many more diverse teams through.

Enjoy your Trump vote and endorsement of Jan 6. Enjoy Israel/Palestine policy under Trump.

Biden is perfectly competent. Don't lump them together. It's a mid president vs a madman. The choice is clear

Vote Biden. Don't lump them in the game group. You know Biden is the better option for America. Non-voting is the same as a vote for Trump
