Cycle 3, Slate 5: Burning Hellfire
It has been an amazing past few weeks seeing everyone utilize the cores that were created to their best potential, you guys make doing this ladder challenge so much fun. Alas, its the finals week. Got what it takes to make it to platinum? This weeks core challenge consists of two types that can be very very threatening if not handled properly.
Deadline for Cycle 5 is Sunday, October 29th at 10 PM EST (GMT -4).
This is the final week for placements of any kind for this current CLC!

Ogerpon in all of its forms possesses attacking potential that can make or break any game its up against. With Ivy Cudgel hitting hard as a base 100 Fire move with its signature mask, and a variety of coverage suck as Low kick, Horn Leech, Play Rough, Rock tomb, etc, one can say that even though it falls short to 4 slot syndrome that it can possess a very good role in its respected types. I decided to bring an old favorite back with infernape! Infernape can possess a threat as well with its own coverage options. Gunk Shot, Close Combat, Thunder-punch, its endless.

Although these arent new faces, Tyranitar did in fact get a little boost to its coverage options and STAB options when the DLC did come out. Knock off is now its preferred move and with stealth rocks or even with dragon dance this psuedo isnt to be underestimated. I paired it up with a defensive "new" face (returning face) in mandibuzz! Mandibuzz has always been tyranitar's best friend in any dark comp with its bulky defenses, defog, roost, and foul play/u-turn along with foul play/brave bird.
