Not me randomly talking about sets early morning... I kinda wanted to try offence so most of this will be based off that sorry
Whiscash @ Focus Sash
Ability: Oblivious
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Stealth Rock
- Spikes
- Icy Wind
This is actually dumb that this is good, but it really is. Essentially has nearly everything a hazards lead wants: immunity to taunt, multiple hazards, a move that hinders the opponent pretty badly, and somehow still has some offensive presence. Honestly might prefer this to Froslass - who is a better screen setter anyway - or Lycanroc, because using this allows you to use Lycanroc in the way God intended, click buttons and break stuff. Its tera water here because you will never, never, NEVER tera this, please don't, like even ghost really just use another ghost its not worth it
Veluza @ Leftovers
Ability: Mold Breaker
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 248 HP / 168 Def / 92 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Stored Power
- Surf
- Fillet Away
- Recover
So I've seen this in the UU thread, I did not come up with it at all, but ngl I fell in love. Now its not good, like at all, it has SO many problems, biggest one is hi Umbreon, right until the realization that its not fast or bulky enough, but... it does win some games, and more often than you'd think. I really don't like physical in comparison with Bruxish, even crit set just doesn't do it enough imo, but this random thing? It really has little competition there and good thing its actually still a bit bad because we'd have issues.
Salazzle (F) @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Corrosion
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Flamethrower
- Sludge Bomb
- Dragon Pulse / Knock Off
- Toxic Spikes / Toxic
I talked a bit about Salazzle in my previous post, and imo this is the way to use it. I have seen a lot of talk about banning Cloyster - the usual sign telling me people find screens a problem in RU - and well, this is one good revenge killer for it. Cloyster will almost never have a tera type that blanks this stab combo - if it uses rock LOL - which makes it about as consistent as it will get. It does other things, obviously: steel type haxorus is fried by flamethrower after a DD, and does not enjoy taking neutral hits at all either, or a Dragon Pulse if no tera. You can technically put tera dragon to secure the ko always but its a tough mon to tera imo. Knock Off, Toxic, Toxic Spikes are all pretty good utility moves. Toxic is consistent vs QD mons which is always nice. Toxic Spikes are always fun and Knock is Knock, also makes you do something vs Naclstack....
(Edit: actually two things I was forgetting, but you always outspeed +2 Toxtricity and +2 Drednaw with this, no matter their nature. This can be huge to revenge them after decent chip in the former's case. Its more complicated with Drednaw, but there's options. Tera Blast with grass obviously, but it would probably be easier to fit foul play on it and this does around 75 after a shell smash. This also do a good chunk to Haxorus, so could go instead of Dragon Pulse if you are confident of picking it off after)
Umbreon @ Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Foul Play
- Thunder Wave
- Wish
- Protect
You can talk all you want about Florges, or Sylveon, or Dachsbun, I don't care. THIS is the best fairy wish passer in the tier.
... At least until Haxorus is banned, because Foul Play koes that right quick and the other three cry the moment it goes into tera poison (why are we all using steel btw? Like I get the accelrock resist but avalugg and dog....) but Umbreon just has a lot less passivity in some key moments vs offensive teams that the other passers just can't match. However, in hard balance matchups the lack of toxic or heal bell gets to it really bad, so Umbreon still has some flaws but fairy is an excellent option on it and its a good mon!
Mismagius @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Shadow Ball
- Draining Kiss
- Taunt / Thunderbolt
- Nasty Plot
So, I love Mismagius, its the mascot, my favourite mon, my spirit animal, literally represents me in a spiritual fashion, has a great hat. I did not know it got Draining Kiss, and this changed everything. I wasn't heavily considering Mismagius before to my shame, and now it might be one of the top mons in the tier in my eyes.
With tera fairy, Mismagius becomes essentially Flutter Mane at Home, and even has things the broken uber thing would love to have, namely a ground immunity and Nasty Plot. NP also solves the problem always associated with Draining Kiss - its weak af - and the combination is stupidly strong. Changing ur type makes revenge killing with dark moves completely irrelevant AND heals you back to full, which is legit insane. While CB Weavile can still, like, ko you with ice move, killing dark is an amazing boon, and Krook's stab combo is irrelevant vs it. Also noteworthy, you end up getting a fighting resist off it, which doesn't seem great compared to an immunity, but it lets you take a CB CC from Flamigo from full, NP once, and then get it all back with Draining Kiss. Its honestly stupid how many times I ended up at full on a sweep, and completely changes the way I always used Mismagius and I don't hate it.
As added bonuses, Mismagius is amazing vs stack hazards, as it always was, due to levitate, so webs spikes and tspikes are irrelevant and its always at a perfect speed tier for those teams to really hate it. Taunt and Tbolt are, imo personal preferences, but with Taunt Umbreon is absolutely completely screwed vs you, without it it can twave or yawn which are both very annoying. so if that's something you really like on your team, I heavily recommend. Same goes for most blisseys, although killing that will... take a while.
That's it I think, but yeah most of those mons deserve more usage that I have seen, especially Mismagius, and you should use them! Except Veluza, please don't I mean its funny but God Jesus don't the funny wins are not worth it...
