This is a fairly standard bulky offense team based around Houndoom and Gurdurr. Houndoom was the first pick as it provides a solid Nasty Plot user with solid utility with Taunt to set up on slower, fatter teams alongside an extremely powerful Fire Blast and Dark Pulse, which helps break down threats to Gurdurr, like Mesprit. Gurdurr offers a good physical blanket check along with being a decent set up sweeper with Bulk Up, and has Mach Punch to help deal with weakened faster foes. The EVs let Gurduee take 2 Adamant Banded Stoutland Return after Stealth Rock. Mesprit is great at role compression and gives the team a soft check to Dodrio, along with Stealth Rock and Healing Wish Support, and a slow U-turn. Lanturn fits on the team as the blanket check to special attackers and is able to form a slow Volt-Turn core with Mesprit. The Speed is enough to outspeed Modest Jellicent and the Special Attack is enough to 2HKO Gastrodon with HP Grass. Dodrio is the dedicated Speed control for the team, as it can outspeed +1 Lilligant and Jynx, along with most common Choice Scarf Pokemon like Primeape. Finally Silvally-Fairy was chosen to act as another Fighting-type check while also providing Parting Shot support and being the team's way of removing hazards with Defog.
