Sorry i'm french i will use a traductor :(

Hello again, This week I am going to share my team on Yanmega. First of all Tinted Lens Specs Yanmega made by this Pokemon an excellent stallbreaker in RU. Thus, i'm going for a balanced team with a Steel/Water/Fight resist core which is very strong in RU and an offensive presence that deals with Yanmega checks. First of all i made a list of the main Yanmega checks, including Snorlax, Moltres, Florges, Porygon 2 and Registeel mainly. Choice Band Pangoro is here to erase Bronzong, Registeel, Porygon2 and Snorlax. Then, i needed a fast setup sweeper. Even though is first thought of Zygarde 10 % and Dragon Dance Flygon, they can't break through Florges defenses. Nasty Plot Salazzle with Poisonium Z doesn't have that problem and on top of destroying Florges, it can OHKO Milotic after a Nasty Plot. I then needed someone to check Moltres, Salazzle(before a nasty plot), Entei, Blastoise mega etc.... I of course went for Milotic with toxic in order to toxic Pokemons having trouble killing it.
The next step to achieve or core is a Steel type, plus, stealth rocks were yet to be set up. Bronzong answers the call and is really good in combination with Milotic as he check and handfull of threats such as Tyrantrum or the omnipresent Gardevoir in the RU. Lastly I need a Fight resist and a way to remove entry hazards. Gligar being, the best defogger in the tier, he was bound to complete the core. Gligar's spread is meant to outspeed adamant Pangoro and adamant Bewear. Acrobatics is here to hit Virizion and Chesnaugh . I hope you'll like my team.I really enjoyed building it because i find Yanmega to be a rather cool Pokemon in RU even though Ninetales is my favorite by far < 3

After a good amount of experimentation, I came up with this team composition. It's unfortunately rather similar to Hurtadoo's, but has enough differences to be worth sharing.

I immediately went for Gligar as consistent hazard removal for Yanmega in the wake of constant frustration from not getting what I wanted out of Mega Blastoise. I like having Toxic to keep Water-types and setup attackers from getting cheeky, but Knock Off and U-turn definitely could work too. Similarly, its EVs probably can be adjusted to be more specially defensive what with Mega Steelix's presence, but I'm lazy and it's not a big deal. Mega Steelix and Milotic then came naturally as Stealth Rock setter and Water switch-in, forming an effective if pretty generic backbone with Gligar. I find Choice Scarf Salazzle to be extremely cool for its ability to outspeed absolutely everything relevant, including monsters such as +2 Barbaracle. People also assume it's Nasty Plot until it outspeeds and KOes something fast but frail. Choice Band Tyrantrum was chosen so I could have another Fire switch-in and to threaten everything that switches into Yanmega. Practically nothing defensive can stand up to these two wallbreakers combined. The general game plan is to wear things down with the backbone, decimate the opposition with the wallbreakers, and clean up with Salazzle.

[Hurtadoo]

I have only one choice x) cryogyro

 

[eifo]

Pangoro is a really cool mon that always claims a kill or three, but I'm afraid CB BP is simply not sufficient speed control. Gonna have to go with the team with a scarfer - CryoGyro's

 

[Paraflinch]

With 3/3 votes, congrats to CryoGyro for winning week 3!!

WEEK 4: DRAGALGE

Not a very prominent mon in the RU metagame but a viable one, with good bulk and ability. Go builders!!

Dragalge Bulky Offense:

I built a team around Choice Specs Dragalge with the moves Draco Meteor, Sludge Wave, Hidden Power [Fire] and Focus Blast.
The Teammates are Choice Scarf Gardevoir, which can take on faster Dragons like Noivern, Trick to lock annoying Pokemon such as Registeel and Cresselia into one Attack and making them less useful.
Last slot here is Healing Wish to give one of the Pokemon a second go on the field.
Chesnaught is there for Spike stacking and allow Dragalge to weaken it's foes. Synthesis and Drain Punch with it's Leftovers for longevity.
Mega Blastoise here is the bulky Water Type in this Team, I gave it Scald cause you can burn possible switchins and Rapid Spin as the Hazard Removal.
Dark Pulse is to take on Pokemon such as Cresselia and Bronzong, to hit them super effectively.
Escavalier takes on opposing Gardevoir with its strong STAB iron Head, which is also able to Pursuit Trap it. Drill Run as Coverage Option and Megahorn as another strong STAB.
Rhyperior sets up Rocks and is a check to Entei, Moltres, Tyrantrum and Diancie and Ice Punch is to catch Gligar via switchin.

Decided to use the classic SM set, offensive tspikes dragalge with dragonium Z for some wallbreaking potential and to threaten most tspikes absorbers. Paired it with work up mega blastoise since that + tspikes really pressure common switch-ins like milo and stuff like p2 (Snorlax is covered by Doublade). The rest of the team is pretty standard. Sub Seed Shaymin to have something else to take advantage of the tspikes pressure. Doublade to check 300 things, Gligar to check other 300 things and to provide stealth rock and Scarf Garde to revenge kill stuff and to provide healing wish support you can play the team more aggresively. I guess not running water move ala King Wynaut is doable on the Blastoise but Im not about that life.

Cheers!

WEEK 5: HONCHKROW

125 Attack+Moxie make Honchkrow a potential wallbreaker in the RU Metagame. However, some aspects make it decrease in usage and viability. What can you build with it?
(DL: Wednesday 4th July)​

 

[Galla'eci]

Import

Decided to start with a standard Honchkrow set with Flyinium Z which is a powerful mon breaking teams with a good STAB+Priority+Superpower. I paired Honch with MBlastoise + Rhyperior as my Fire Checks in the team and to provide some hazard control. I saw I were some Milotic weak so I decided to add Spikes Roserade to help Honchkrow to break teams and threaten some fast mons. Doublade can check a lot of mons and provides the team some Fairy and Psychic check, and another potencial sweep with SD+Priority. Finally I saw the team could be weak to some mons like Moltres with an HP Grass/Solar Beam variant or MAmpharos so I decided to use Porygon2 to check'em. SD can be used in Rhyperior too as an option instead of Toxic.

Honchkrow & Hazard Stack.

https://pokepast.es/f2fe0fdf497f6dce

Description:
I built a Team around Honchkrow with Hazard Stack Support.
I chose Honchkrow as my first mon, with an Adamant Nature and a Life Orb to hit as hard as possible.
Roserade is scarfed to give the team speed control. It has Spikes to stack them up and pressure opposing teams, Sludge Bomb for Fairy Types like Florges,
Leaf Storm for Water Types such as Milotic and Quagsire and Hidden Power [GROUND], which gets boosted by Technician, for Registeel and Doublade.
Rhyperior as a switchin for Entei and Tyrantrum. It has Stealth Rocks and also Ice Punch as Coverage.
Blastoise-Mega as a Ice and Water Resist on this Team with Rapid Spin as Removal, Scald as stab and to get possible Burns, Ice Beam and Aura Sphere are the Coverage options I choose because I feel like it fits this particular team.
Florges as a second Hazard Remover with defog and the Cleric Option in Heal Bell with Sythesis and Leftovers for longevity. It also is a defensive check to Chesnaught and Bewear.
Moltres as a hard hitting Fire with Z-Hurricane and Fire Blast. U-Turn for Momentum and Roost for recovery.
