Tapu Lele @ Choice Specs
Ability: Psychic Surge
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Moonblast
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast

So these two are pretty much broken together, and can be played in several different ways (RH and Specs, RH and Z-Move, Z-Move and Specs, etc). The only real requirement is Torn needs Knock to cripple every wall that annoys Lele. AV Mag? Bop. Celesteela? Ouch. Chansey? Get fucked. Taunt Torn and Z Lele is enough to handle stall, while U-turn Torn brings Specs Lele on every wall Flying resist in the tier for it to wreak havoc. Fightinium can make a dent in the best one too (Heatran, Ferro and Ttar which can ease prediction). Tldr: Knock off everything that wants to switch on Lele with Torn and go to town.

Swampert-Mega @ Swampertite
Ability: Swift Swim
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Waterfall
- Ice Punch
- Stealth Rock

Jolly Mega Swampert outspeeds most of the metagame when under rain, but still struggles with mons like Tangrowth (which can survive at least one Ice Punch and Giga Drain in return) and Ferro (which Power Whips Pert into oblivion). The grass-types, along with many others, can do little against Torn-T which excels in removing these Grass-types in order to allow Pert to sweep teams under the rain. Torn also helps remove certain Physical Walls like Alolamola, and 160 SpAtk All Out Pummeling puts a pretty nice dent in Rotom-Wash.

Proof:
160 SpA Tornadus-Therian All-Out Pummeling (190 BP) vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Rotom-Wash: 161-190 (52.9 - 62.5%) -- 99.6% chance to 2HKO after Leftovers recovery

Manectric @ Manectite
Ability: Lightning Rod
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power [Ice]
- Volt Switch
- Flamethrower

Tornadus-T and Mega Manectric form a fairly straight forward VoltTurn core that allows you to put pressure on offensively oriented teams. The 2 of them benefit a good amount from hazard stacking and give you multiple opportunities to safely bring in your hard hitter.
 
after a real fuckin long break, im back from germany (hi).

so, yea, congratz to insydia who seems to be MIA atm, so you'll see it when you get back. Anyways, archive will be updated. With that being said, our next pokemon you need to find a match for is...

Reuniclus @ Leftovers / Psychium Z
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 212 Def / 44 Spe
Bold Nature
- Calm Mind
- Psyshock
- Focus Blast / Energy Ball
- Recover

Discovered during the Zygarde era, Reuniclus became the most annoying thing on the planet to be unprepared for, especially with it's double dance set, which was it's only set at the time. However, people started adapting to that, so people started using this set, which basically shits on those tradtional answers for the most part. Anyways, 2 attack Reuniclus is pretty solid, so what's a good match for it? Let's find out!

Sorry for the crappy description this time, I'm tired as heck. Submissions are due Thursday. Good Luck.​
 

Ferrothorn @ Leftovers
Ability: Iron Barbs
EVs: 252 HP / 24 Def / 232 SpD
IVs: 0 Spe
Sassy Nature
- Spikes
- Leech Seed
- Gyro Ball
- Power Whip

Ferrothorn pairs really well with Reuniclus which provides Spikes support for Reuniclus which helps wears down the opposing team and allowing Reuniclus to clean late game. Ferrothorn can also soft check a couple of dark types such as Ash Greninja , non fire punch M Tyranitar , and Hydreigon who can pressure Reuniclus very easily if not set u despite having coverage to beat them. In return Reuniclus can handle M sableye, most fighting types, M Venusaur , and Amoongus who generally beat Ferrothorn easily or give it a hard time on being able to set up spikes support.

Magnezone

Magnezone @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull

EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Hidden Power Fire
- Flash Cannon
- Volt Switch


Magnezone
is a good partner for Reuniclus because it can trap Mega-Scizor which is not only defensively threatening but also offensively threatening., Mega-Scizor gets romved by Hidden Power Fire as well and Reuniclus can freely setup and do its job on the battlefield.
The same goes for Mega-Mawile, which is a very dangerous pokémon in the tier, so Magnezone can remove this threat for Reuniclus as well.
Also with the increase of Celesteelas Usage Magnezone is additionally a good Partner because Reuniclus has trouble breaking through Celesteela
because of its outstanding bulk.
Magnezone can trap it and remove Celesteela for Reuniclus, so Reuniclus has an easier time in the battle.
Ferrothorn is the same case as both Celesteela and Ferrothorn can be problematic for Reuniclus when these two pokémon
have an Unaware User or Hazeer in the back, which can result that Reuniclus only loses its PP.

Also Magnezone can help to bring in Reuniclus safely because it can use a slow Volt Switch to help Reuniclus come in safely, same mention goes for the other teammates of Magnezone and Reuniclus,
which Magnezone can bring in safely due to its Volt Switch. In overall Magnezone is a great addition to teams with Reuniclus because it can fullfill a multitude of roles and can trap annyoing Steel-types for it, which gives the hard body Blop trouble
during the games.​

Tyranitar @ Tyranitarite
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 168 HP / 252 Atk / 88 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Pursuit
- Stone Edge
- Fire Punch

Stealth Rock chips most pokemon switching in. Pursuit takes care of ghost/psychic type pokemon. Fire Punch to deal with steel type pokemon.

Greninja @ Fightinium Z
Ability: Protean
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Low Kick
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Beam
- Spikes

Fightinium Z takes care of Reuni’s biggest threat—Tyranitar. It also takes on many other mons, like Hoopa-U, Celesteela, AV Mag and Weavile. Past that, Greninja sets up Spikes, wears down shared checks, lures Taunt Fini and spreads potential poison. It’s also a form of speed control, which Reuniclus teams appreciate.

Hippowdon @ Leftovers
Ability: Sand Stream
EVs: 252 HP / 112 Def / 144 SpD
Impish Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Earthquake
- Slack Off
- Whirlwind

Reuniclus appreciates all the chip damage Hippowdon causes to foes by the combination of sand, Stealth Rock, and Whirlwind.

sorry for a double post but is this project alive..?
 
To somes dismay, yea. Things have been rough with accessing smogon to update projects, so ill get this up as soon as possible.
 
As much as I would love to, my inability to access smogon consistently means that I am dropping this to whoever. Sorry for wasting yours and everyone else's time. It would be selfish of me to do otherwise.
