Shed Tail Bulky Offense

by in the hills

This is a bulky offense team centered around pivot Toxapex to get as many opportunities to use Shed Tail as possible. Great Tusk, Tyranitar, and Toxapex form a strong defensive core that covers most offensive threats in the metagame but also maintains an offensive presence with tools like Thunderous Kick, Ceaseless Edge and Salt Cure, and Flip Turn and Mortal Spin. Gholdengo and Gyarados act as the team's speed control and sweeper, respectively, and the latter is the main Pokemon you want to pass Shed Tail to. While other Pokemon on the team can utilize the support too, Gyarados has insane sweeping potential with Moxie, and Jet Punch makes it very difficult to revenge kill. Cyclizar can utilize Encore to get free momentum with its Shed Tail, which is why it pairs so well with Toxapex's slow pivoting. Keeping Stealth Rock off the field is important for Gyarados, so be sure to utilize Great Tusk and Toxapex as necessary; however, most importantly. be sure to play aggressively with this team at the right times, because there's a lot of opportunities you can open up.
