Glaceon is a very powerful mon that has the potential to sweep opposing teams very quickly. It is the main wincon of this team. 216 timid speed is to outspeed Timid Alolan Persian after a celebrate boost. Ice Beam is it's main stab, Shadow Ball is to hit psychic and ghost types (Jellicent for example) and HP Fighting is for Aurorus, A-Sandslash and Aggrons (A-Sandslash are commonly used to switch into Glaceon). Note that Glaceon does have some trouble against teams with scarf Primeape. Banded Scyther is also a mon I really wanted to build with. It outspeeds most of the tier and does insane damage with U-turn, while also getting momentum with it. This team likes to abuse it's volt-turn to the fullest potential. Aerial Ace is the powerful Flying stab move, Knock off for getting rid of items and brick break for steel types (mainly the common A-Sandslash). Muk is the main special wall of this team while also being able to hit pretty hard. Poison Jab is it's stab move that is also used to get a 51% chance to poison something due to his ability as well. Shadow Sneak is to have some priority on the team. Explosion is for a powerful last living turn hit. Ice Punch is for ground types that want to switch in against Muk. Muk does have some problems with steel types, however the most common steel type in A-Sandslash is usually easy to deal with in this team with Glaceon, Scyther, Manectric and even Mudsdale can do damage. Mudsdale is the physical wall of this team. There are a lot of really powerful physical attackers in the tier where you need a switch-in for (for example Primeape, Gurdurr, Dodrio, Stoutland etc.). Hence why it is max. def. It is also our stealth rocker, however keep in mind with a Scyther we are usually the ones that need to defog. Earthquake is for a powerful stab attack. Toxic is it's main way to deal with opposing mons, especially since steel and poison types don't want to be in against Mudsdale. Protect is for toxic damage + leftovers recovery. Silvally-Dark is our Pursuit trapper, which is needed since this team has some trouble with psychic types otherwise. It may seem a little bit weird when you have mons like Skuntank in the tier. However the benefit of Silvally-Dark is the fact that the opponent doesn't know it is a dark type until you switch it in. This means that mons like scarf Mesprit and Alolan-Raichu usually click psychic or psyshock when they are in against mons like Mudsdale or Muk. When you have a Skuntank on your team, they are usually more motivated to use moves like Volt Switch and U-turn. Parting shot is for momentum. Defog is for getting rid of hazards and Multi-Attack is for a powerful stab move. Last is scarf Manectric, which is used for speed control. It is also the secondary wincon of the team. When the opponent doesn't have an electric immunity, this mon loves to spam volt switch. Thunderbolt is usually used for finishing games. Flamethrower is for mons like A-Sandslash, Tangela and other grass types. Hidden power grass is to deal with grass-ground mons like Gastrodon and Quagsire, which are otherswise hard to deal with. Probably 90% of the times I lead with Scyther or Manectric to spam U-turn or Volt Switch. It is a great way of weakening the opposing squad to work towards an endgame where you can clean up with mons like Glaceon, Manectric or Scyther. I hope you enjoy this PU team. It has a decent amount of mons that is not used much in PU and I almost made top 10 myself with this team (I was one win away, lost to the final boss and let my score decay after that lol).
