Expert Belt Azelf + Roserade Spikes BO

by Indigo Plateau

Azelf has found a solid niche in a post Thundurus metagame as a fast offensive pivot. Expert Belt sets in particular can be very dangerous wallbreakers capable of 2HKO'ing most of the tier, and OHKO'ing most Scarfers if they switch in on the wrong move. Roserade's Spikes support helps Azelf break opposing teams and can take advantage of passive Azelf checks like Umbreon and Chansey. Bulky Kommo-o synergises nicely with Roserade as a switch-in to Pokemon like Zarude and Krookodile, and can potentially lure Defog Salamence with Draco Meteor. Scarf Rotom-W provides additional speed against threats like DD Gyarados, while being able to cripple checks with Trick allowing it to serve more defensive utility against Krookodile with Pain Split. Mamoswine provides addditional priority against threats like DD Salamence and SD Scale Shot Kommo-o, Knock Off support, and a general wallbreaker. Heavy-Duty Boots are used over Life Orb as Mamoswine can easily be worn down by Spikes and SR otherwise without any removal. Celesteela rounds off the team with an additional check to Pokemon like Aegislash, Salamence and Nihilego with its valuable typing.
