Zeraora @ Expert Belt
Ability: Volt Absorb
EVs: 252 Atk / 64 SpA / 192 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Work Up
- Plasma Fists
- Close Combat
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Zeraora has many desirable traits you'd want in a sweeper but it is completely stonewalled by grounds on BU and pivot sets, the solution? Work Up + HP Ice!

It can also function as a strong revenge killer, as it still threatens the mons below with KOs or big damage

252 Atk Zeraora Plasma Fists vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Medicham-Mega: 169-199 (64.7 - 76.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Expert Belt Zeraora Close Combat vs. 132 HP / 0 Def Tyranitar-Mega: 398-470 (106.4 - 125.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO


Despite Zeraora's innate lack of power, it can still function into fat/stall builds by baiting a Glisc in only to blow it up with a boosted HP Ice to enable its teammates. A lot of offense and balance is completely dismantled by this variant especially ones that rely too much on mlop for speed control

you can also play some games with Plasma Fists Ion Deluge effect to absorb and heal from normal moves, enjoy!
 
hello, it's erti. i haven't posted in a while especially in any sort of team dump/heat sessions. i don't really have any heat because my whole builder was wiped but i have some new recent ones, please use at ur own risk

:Landorus-Therian: :Weezing-Galar: :Latios-Mega: :Rotom-Wash: :Melmetal: :Ditto:
https://pokepast.es/e64402e0ed498ded - mios + gweez
basically i wanted gweezing due to it having great typing to switch in on something like gren (paired with water resist), good ground sw/i and others that i'm too lazy to explain in debt.
:Weezing-Galar: @ Black Sludge
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Sludge Bomb
- Pain Split
- Toxic Spikes
- Flamethrower

this generally helps me set up toxic spikes and pain split on bulkier mons. Sludge bomb and flame is here for chip on fini, ferro, kart, and fish for the toxics. After all these threats are being toxic'd and vulnerable, Latios can come in and finish the job. The others are there for helping out the team and ditto for cleaning and not letting the opponent set up for free. This team has generally helped me out and can win a lot of mu's.

some other teams in my builder that are fun but no explaining.

Slowbro @ Slowbronite
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 252 HP / 80 Def / 176 SpD
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Scald
- Slack Off
- Psyshock / Ice Beam

For the majority of the game, slowbro should stay non-mega to make use of regenerator. Once pokemon that can threaten slowbro are eliminated, it should mega evolve and set up calm mind. Often, you will win the game on the spot because slowbro can't be KOed. Battle Armor allows Slowbro to not worry about crits.

Before slowbro sets up, try to elimate pokemon that can KO it after a few CM boosts like ash greninja. Also try to eliminate toxic users, which can prove problematic.

252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Knock Off vs. 252 HP / 76+ Def Slowbro-Mega: 156-186 (39.5 - 47.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

Here's a replay of the team: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen8nationaldex-1658815912-rtg0fhntoyshq5ivkch28bklvialpdcpw
Mega Slowbro successfully sets up on Latios, allowing me to win the game.

:ss/tapu lele:
Lele NBA (Tapu Lele) @ Psychium Z
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid / Modest Nature
- Gravity
- Psyshock
- Moonblast
- Focus Blast / Thunder

This set of Tapu Lele I've been using for a while uses Z-Gravity; which can boost your Special Attack by 1 stage and sets up Gravity, which smacks down all non-grounded Pokémon, and gives Pokémon a nice 1.67x accuracy boost, meaning that Tapu Lele now has 116.9% accurate Focus Blasts to fire off at checks like Corviknight, Skarmory, Heatran, and Ferrothorn, which can make this Tapu Lele set a potential wincon. You can run Thunder to OHKO the metal birds, but Focus Blast does plenty enough of damage to Corviknight and Skarmory with hazard chip. Due to Gravity, partners that can abuse Gravity such as Landorus-Therian, Garchomp, Weavile, Heatran, and Ash-Greninja appreciate the Ground-immunity revoking and the accuracy boosting that Gravity can put on the field.

Mew @ Red Card/Twisted Spoon/Mewnium Z/Icium Z/Mental Herb/Lum Berry
Ability: Synchronize
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Psychic
- Ice Beam
- Spikes

This is a unique Mew set that I've been using as of lately on some hos. Personally I've been straying more and more from the concept of traditional leads and this here is a personal innovation of mine. Mew obv won't necessarily be doing much damage even after an np due to it's middling special attack however it pressures a lot of hazard removal options like Landorus, Rotom-Wash, and Gliscor w/ Ice Beam/Psychic. This pairs up well with Bisharp (albiet Bisharp dislikes Psychic Terrain from Genesis Supernova should you run mewnium) because of it's ability to check Weavile, punish defog, and break things that Mew cannot, like Heatran.

The best slowbro set.

As yall know, Z Moves makes Knock off weaker + Z Future Sight hits like a truck (also Teleport have a realy cool secondary efect) + Slowbro keep doing the Slowbro things at the same time could be a really surprising wallbreaker
Remember: Future Sight + Z Move can be combined IN THE SAME TURN

Vs Knock off
252 Atk Choice Band Weavile Knock Off vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro: 204-242 (51.9 - 61.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

252 Atk Weavile Knock Off vs. 248 HP / 252+ Def Slowbro: 134-162 (34 - 41.2%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

This slowbro can lure walls like Pex, some ofensive boosters and stuff like that

If others mons try to come into a switch:
8 SpA Slowbro Shattered Psyche (190 BP) vs. 0 HP / 0 SpD Rillaboom: 276-325 (80.9 - 95.3%) -- 50% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
