Edit: Syc actually gets Ice Spinner
Syclant @ Choice Band
Ability: Mountaineer/(Compound Eyes)
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat/Earthquake
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
- U-turn
Syclant is actually one of the two Capmons that can outspeed RM (other one being stratagem). Although it kinda lacks the firepower needed to be a great addition to your SV CAP team as an offensive-pivot/stab-priority spammer, Syc can succeed in performing those role with the aid of Choice band+Terastallization and act as a great check to RM.
So here's how things are gonna roll, Syc will free-switch in to RM (totally avoiding S-rocks if you run Mountaineer, which you SHOULD) and then with the help of either band/tera or both, oneshot RM with icicle crash (there's a 75% chance of 1hko without neither of them..not really the odds worth betting on).
Band+Tera-boosted Ice Shard's got a 50% chance of 1hko so if you're up against a +1 Spe moon you can still inflict significant amount of damage with shard before sacking Syc and then hope for the best :' )
But that's not all..Syc can potentially become a counter with..
Syclant @ Focus Sash

- Counter/close combat/ Earthquake/Taunt

I figured mountaineer can function somewhat like magic guard so this is a spoof of the sash Alakazam set lmao.
Without C-band or Tera

252 Atk Syclant Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 162-192 (46.1 - 54.7%) -- 50% chance to 2HKO
Tera'llizing into Ice
252 Atk Tera Ice Syclant Icicle Crash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 452-536 (128.7 - 152.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Tera Ice Syclant Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Roaring Moon: 216-256 (61.5 - 72.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
Just with Choice Band
252 Atk Choice Band Syclant Icicle Crash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 510-600 (145.2 - 170.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Syclant Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 240-284 (68.3 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
And finally...Tera ice+choice band
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Ice Syclant Icicle Crash vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 680-800 (193.7 - 227.9%) -- guaranteed OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Ice Syclant Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 0 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 320-380 (91.1 - 108.2%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
252 Atk Choice Band Tera Ice Syclant Ice Shard vs. 0 HP / 4 Def Tera Flying Roaring Moon: 320-380 (91.1 - 108.2%) -- 50% chance to OHKO
Damage calcs for Sdance boost/life orb/never melt ice should be obvious..life orbs not recommended cuz the residual damage aint worth it
Idt I'll win this thing but I really hope Syclant will see more use in the future esp after chien pao ban. Mountaineer is op and lets you freely pivot in and out with u-turn. It can force setup RM to switch, pressure and possibly threat to 3hko corv/equilibra/tusk/clod/cyclohm and so on. Icicle crash isnt exactly a 'spammable" move so hopefully it'll get access to ice spinner soon.
I'll accept the Choice Band set but for the future you are only allowed to submit one set per given week.
