Att made by Fancy1 , really thanks to you !

Hi, BMT has returned once again this time including Generation 9. BMT stands for Break My Team, where a team is featured each week, and all kinds of random counters can be found through community input. The only requirement is that the counter 3-0es the team! How doesn't matter, whether it's putting on a resist berry or running something crazy like Special Attacking Great Tusks, all that matters is that it 3-0es. This project will have nine cycles each lasting one week and the player with the most "community's favorite counter" will win 20 USD. Also, it will feature gens 5-9 with gen 9 taking most of the spots for "meta development".

Let's set some rules:

  • Please be respectful of others on this thread.
  • Please provide some calcs to prove that your counter does indeed "break" the team.
  • At least 70% odds over the the battle will be required for a win.
  • 50/50s between two Pokemon means that the featured team does indeed have a way to counter it, and should not count as "countering."
  • Pokemon undergoing a suspect test will not be eligible to be a counter, and will also not be able to be a part of a featured team until its suspect test has concluded.
  • A singular person can submit more than one counter per cycle.
  • On reservation posts: if you have a Pokemon in reservation for over three days, the post will be deleted by a forum mod, so other people can reserve that Pokemon, too.
  • I reserve the right to delete posts that aren't actual counters but will try and talk to the poster beforehand.
  • Teams can come from anywhere! I will take any user-submitted teams through discord (I am Akeras#5717). I'll look at the team and review it, making sure there are no gaping holes, and if it's good, then it will be featured. I do first-come-first-serve, so the earlier you submit, the earlier your team will be featured! Please just remove the names of individual Pokemon when submitting.
  • You are allowed to submit the same Pokemon as someone else as long as the set is different from theirs. I can delete posts (first talking to the poster though) if they are too similar to each other.
  • Lastly, we will have voting for the community's favorite counter to be featured with the team! You can vote on a Google Form, at the end of each round.
  • This project will have nine cycles each lasting one week and the player with the most "community's favorite counter" will win 10 USD.
  • In the case of a tie, the tied posts will be voted on in a thread poll.
  • Players at the end of the project finish with the same amount of "community's favorite counter" then they will have an Sv 1v1 bo9 to settle who wins the money.
  • I Akeras will be paying out the prize money. Prize money will be paid out on Paypal.

Week 1 : SV
Week 2 : BW
Week 3 : SV
Week 4 : ORAS
Week 5 : SV
Week 6 : SM

+5 140 Atk Toxtricity Gunk Shot vs. 252 HP / 160+ Def Bellibolt: 424-501 (100.4 - 118.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO

If you somehow manage to get to +5 you always OHKO

Matchup Moth (Volcarona) @ Chilan Berry
Ability: Swarm
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 248 HP / 104 Def / 156 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Substitute
- Quiver Dance
- Struggle Bug
- Morning Sun

:bellibolt: Vs. Bellibolt: :bellibolt:
Soak T1
Thunderbolt T1

Volcarona is EVed & Natured so that Bellibolt's Thunderbolt only has a 6.3% chance to break substitute. The rest of the EVs are thrown into Defense for more favourable Meowscarada and Sylveon MUs.

This leaves you with an extra turn to get a quiver dance off vs. Bellibolt, and after 1 QD it's impossible for Bellibolt to break substitute without a critical hit. After enough cycles of Sub + QD + Morning Sun to get you to +4, you'll be able to 2hko bellibolt with struggle bug from behind the substitute.

You should always be clicking substitute turn 1, and usually after that it's quiver dance turn 2. With reasonable play you should get to +4 SpA and 2HKO with struggle bug.

Vs. Meowscarada:

Giga Impact T1
Knock Off T1
Chilling Water T1 (GI Variant)

Quiver Dance T1 --> Struggle Bug T1 generally wins all matchups. Chilan Berry means you live giga impact and can just KO w/ two struggle bugs afterwards, if Knock Off is clicked you QD once, then OHKO with struggle bug.

:sylveon: Vs. Sylveon: :sylveon:
Psyshock T1

Click Struggle Bug, and use Morning Sun if Yellow HP, Sylveon's only real hope of beating you is high roll critting with psyshock a few times., and in case this happens swarm is there to speed up the match up (by a whole 4%!!!) in your favour.

If they click shadow ball / hyper beam / Hyper Voice you can Quiver Dance to speed things up but take the win ggs

Lucario @ Wacan Berry
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 HP / 252 SpA / 4 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Vacuum Wave
- Steel Beam
- Hyper Beam
- Nasty Plot

Wacan Berry? yes. But let's go over the solved matchups first
252+ SpA Lucario Vacuum Wave vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Meowscarada: 198-234 (67.5 - 79.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Then...
Code:
0 SpA Meowscarada Chilling Water vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Lucario: 40-48 (11.6 - 13.9%) -- possible 8HKO
252+ Atk Meowscarada Knock Off (97.5 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Lucario: 104-123 (30.2 - 35.7%) -- 33.9% chance to 3HKO
0 SpA Meowscarada Frenzy Plant vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Lucario: 90-106 (26.1 - 30.8%) -- guaranteed 4HKO
252+ Atk Meowscarada Giga Impact vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Lucario: 107-126 (31.1 - 36.6%) -- 67% chance to 3HKO
And...
252+ SpA Lucario Vacuum Wave vs. 0 HP / 0- SpD Tera Grass Meowscarada: 99-117 (33.7 - 39.9%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
(worst case scenario, if koff or giga impact it definitely kills too anyway)
Lucario is naturally faster than this Sylveon even without investment

252+ SpA Lucario Steel Beam vs. 4 HP / 0 SpD Sylveon: 368-434 (110.8 - 130.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
The funny mu now
If Soak t1, then Thunderbolt
If Thunderbolt twice
Those are the best possible choices for Belli, clicking Parabolic won't do as much damage and the recovery doesn't matter here

Myopia (Armarouge) @ Colbur Berry
Modest Nature
Ability: Weak Armor
EVs: 252 HP / 80 SpA / 104 SpD / 72 Spe
- Calm Mind
- Armor Cannon
- Psyshock
- Energy Ball

:bellibolt: Vs. Bellibolt: :bellibolt:
Soak T1
Thunderbolt T1

EVs mean you take basically nothing from thunderbolt, if you get soaked you just go up to +4 and OHKO the bolt, if you don't you KO at +2 (s/o STAB)

Vs. Meowscarada:

Knock Off T1
Chilling Water T1

With Colbur Berry, you always live the Knock Off and can KO Back with double Energy Balls (or Eball -> Armor Cannon if you want to be fancy). Energy Ball should always be clicked T1 in case they try and psych you out with a Chilling Water to resist Armor Cannon.

:sylveon: Vs. Sylveon: :sylveon:
Shadow Ball T1

Speed EVs mean you outpace Sylveon by 1 pace, and can KO back with two psyshocks!

Donphan @ Loaded Dice
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 69
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Naughty Nature
IVs: 0 HP / 0 Def / 0 SpA / 0 SpD
- Substitute
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Endeavor
So Donphan is one of my favorite Pokemon of all time. This one, however, does not like doing good things...

Donphan being at Level 69 affords it two things here: It lets it be 1 point faster than Bellibolt while also letting it take enough damage from Sylveon's Psyshock to kill with Endeavor + Ice Shard. If it was either level 68 or level 70, neither would happen. Yup... optimal...

Endeavor + Ice Shard ends up being enough to beat Meowscarada, with all of Meowscarada's moves bringing it to 1 HP if it is holding an item: Loaded Dice is a placeholder, but cheating is always fun in a game of Pokemon, ya know, rng manipulation and the sort!! :worrywhirl:

Calcs.

Sylveon:
252+ SpA Choice Specs Sylveon Psyshock vs. Lvl 69 0 HP / 0 Def Donphan: 177-209 (87.1 - 102.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
Possible damage amounts: (177, 179, 181, 183, 186, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 198, 200, 202, 204, 206, 209)
Donphan has 203 HP, which means Psyshock can bring it down to 26.
Lvl 69 252+ Atk Donphan Ice Shard vs. 4 HP / 64 Def Sylveon: 28-34 (8.4 - 10.2%) -- possibly the worst move ever
Possible damage amounts: (28, 29, 29, 29, 30, 30, 30, 31, 31, 31, 32, 32, 32, 33, 33, 34)


Bellibolt:

Note the Speed stats and Donphan's Substitute, which prevents Bellibolt from being able to hit Donphan.

Meowscarada:

Endeavor + Ice Shard do go brr here...
