Articuno + Calm Mind Slowking & Latias Semi-Stall

by estarossa

Articuno is a super cool option at the moment that can PP stall out hazards from Pokemon like Skarmory, Krookodile, Chansey, and defensive Kommo-o, while compressing Heal Bell support. Pressure also has fantastic value for draining Defog PP faster to allow your ow Spikes to be more threatening. It's natural Special Defence also makes it a nice check to Hydreigon. Skarmory + Seismitoad provide the hazards core, with Seismitoad countering Rotom-W and Rotom-H for the team and Skarmory providing a strong physical wall and check to Pokemon like Excadrill and Conkeldurr. Umbreon provides Wish support, a Latias, Hydreigon, and Excadrill check, and spreads Toxic to cripple offensive Pokemon attempting to take advantage of it. Calm Mind Slowking provides a fantastic check to Fighting-types and a neat win condition, Colbur Berry + Psyshock also lets it be proactively used to prevent Conkeldurr entry points. Calm Mind + Psyshock also allows it to deal with Calm Mind Slowbro-Galar, an awkward Pokemon to deal with for Semi-stall teams, especially if Seismitoad gets overwhelmed. Calm Mind BoltBeam Latias rounds out the team with a scary late-game threat that can set up against traditional switch-ins like Slowkng, and take advantage of amazing neutral coverage to clean against offensive teams, while providing earlier-game value as speed control and a breaker with heal bell support.
