Since she takes hits so well she can switch in on a dragon and ko it with playrough or a steel type that isn't heatran and deal some major damage with hjk which also deals decent damage to ferrowthorn. HJK and Play rough give good coverage and give her more favorable matchups with dragon, steel, dark, and fighting types. She also has the added benifit of being immune to priority attacks and can lower the enemies physical attack with stab trop kick. She has good bulk and can tank multipul hits if need be. Tsareena functions as a bulky sweeper and spinner. He also serves as a counter to electric types like Tapu Koko that the other parts of the core are weak to. actually he works as more of a medium to slow speed pivot that can bring in other parts of the core or one of my sweepers. I chose Leftovers over Rocky Helmet because that set is everywhere, I am not too sure about the current EV spread though. Again this set is pretty basic and his main jobs are to set up rocks, be a slow pivot, and knock off items while making life hard for physical attackers. Black sludge was chosen over leftovers not only because it heals just as well as leftovers, but should it get tricked away somehow, the trick user will be in for a nasty surprise. The set is pretty cut and paste cookie cutter style, but there isn't too much else he can run. Recover is just to stall out the game and rack up poison damage. Liquedation is so that Taunt doesn't hit me too hard and makes it harder for physical attackers to wear down Toxapex. Toxapex's main purpose is to set up Toxic Spikes and poison none steel types that like to use U-Turn with Baneful Bunker on the switch. The set I gave her is pretty basic, but I'm running Earthquake over flamethrower or heavy slam to take care of electric types and fire types that have been weakend by leech seed, toxic, and stealth rocks. The reason for this being able to take Electric attacks better should the need arise. She functions as a special wall while still having good physical bulk. So my last team was an Aurora Veil Team and its pretty fun to play around with, but I'm hoping to make a more competitive bulky offense team this time around.Ĭelesteela forms a core with Toxipex and Landorus-T that is basically the back-bone of this team.
