SM OU wrist flick like Z-moooove - HO Z-Celebrate Victini 1700 Peak




Introduction

Z-Victini can win games on its own, and hazard stack helps it beat things like tapu lele that barely live its hits. I peaked 1700 today but then lost and forgot to screenshot it, but I have this lol https://ibb.co/dOzbOG
Teambuilding Process



I started with this core cause I saw it in a PS OU Room tournament and thought it would be fun to build around, M-Gyarados deals a lot of damage in the early game and threatens fatter mons with taunt, and Excadrill is able to get up rocks against magic bounce and keeps the opponents hazards off the field, while Z-Celebrate Victini is a solid wincon that benefits from the damage that Gyarados gets off, and excadrills hazards.

Zygarde and Magearna are broken and set up on things they shouldn't with assistance of Iapapa and Shuca Berry respectively, and mimikyu/zygarde can help Victini clean up late game with their priority moves, and mimikyu helps with halting sweeps while also spinblocking.

I saw that hazard stack RMT and stole the Omastar/Serperior from it, while exca can get up rocks vs magic bounce, after a shell smash omastar just starts killing them, and also can shell smash on the enemy rocks, while not only having rocks but also spikes. Scarf Serperior gives the team instantaneous speed that that it wants, that hits harder than mimikyu, and also gives it a wincon vs some teams.


The Team


Omastar @ Focus Sash
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Shell Smash
- Hydro Pump

Our dedicated lead, after a shell smash it can start to rip into teams, and can also choose to hazard stack/get massive chip on whatever the opponent puts in.


Victini @ Normalium Z
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Celebrate
- Stored Power
- Searing Shot
- Focus Blast

Our main sweeper and the focus of the team, versus some team this wants to set up early to allow another one of our mons to sweep, or just auto-win versus some teams. Some mons like Tapu Lele, Zygarde, Mega Mawile, or defensive lando-t can eat up hits then chip it back or kill it, and its important these mons are appropriately chipped or killed before Victini can sweep.


Gyarados-Mega @ Gyaradosite
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Waterfall
- Crunch
- Taunt

This mon assists in breaking down the enemy team for our mons and forces many switches, with intimidate and gyaras naturally high spdef, gyara can dd on a lot of things, and also taunt annoying mons that can recover on it like pex or scizor/skarm.


Magearna @ Shuca Berry
Ability: Soul-Heart
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shift Gear
- Flash Cannon
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt

This teams ground resist/immunity is limited to gyara who loses that after the mega, so shuca berry helps immensely as you can sac something to lando/zyg, then switch this in and set up on them, and then start to kill mons with your free soul heart boost in front of you. Heatran is this mons biggest and pretty much only threat after a shift gear, but gets easily removed with the help of gyara, focus blast from victini, and Zygarde.


Zygarde @ Iapapa Berry
Ability: Aura Break
EVs: 160 HP / 216 Atk / 28 SpD / 104 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Thousand Arrows
- Extreme Speed
- Dragon Dance
- Coil

Double Dance Zygarde can become an unkillable monster if given the opportunity, and thousand arrows is just a broken move. Extreme Speed is useful when you have only a single boost or cannot get any off to kill really chipped down mons.


Serperior @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Contrary
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Glare
- Leaf Storm
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power [Fire]

Serperior is an extremely fast scarf that provides useful utility in glare and knock off. Leaf storm is a useful wincon against certain teams especially with the help of victini removing mons like heatran, venusaur, celesteela, skarm etc.

Conclusion

Hazard stack is an extremely popular team right now as shown by excadrills high usage rate as a hazard setter, and the lack of good defoggers/rapid spinners assist this a lot. Z-Victini is really strong rn and has even risen to OU. A big problem with this team is that it loses at team preview to stall unless you luck or play really well, I would probably replace zygarde for a stallbreaker/wallbreaker but its honestly not common enough to warrant it.
