Bulky Offense

by Amane Misa

The idea of the team was pretty mindless. I wanted to make a team that on one hand will be effective and on the other hand be as mindless as possible. Because of that, I started with Dragonium Z Latias + Magneton. Dragonium Z Latias is pretty underrated right now; people forgot how good it used to be mid-SM. Magneton is a natural partner because it traps and severely weakens Steel-types, such as Scizor, for a Latias sweep. Swampert is the main backbone of the team, providing it with a switch-in to pivots, such as Mega Manectric, Raikou, and Scizor. It is holding an Eject Button specifically for Scizor; if Scizor attacks Swampert the Eject Button is activated and you get a free switch-in to Magneton. I needed a secondary Steel-type so Mega Altaria will be less of a threat, so I have some priority for faster threats, and so I have a secondary wincon. Mega Aerodactyl was added because I was pretty weak to Flying-types, such as Moltres and Mega Pidgeot. Mega Aerodactyl also provides me with a reliable way to revenge kill Ghost-types, such as Chandelure and Gengar. Lastly, I needed a Fairy-type and I felt like Serperior was a really huge threat. I added Choice Scarf Togekiss because of this, and because it can lure certain Steel-types, such as Mega Aggron and Mega Steelix, that Magneton can't reliably weaken for Latias, with Fire Blast. All in all, the team has been pretty successful, allowing me to do really well on the ladder (peak top 10) and beat Welli0u in UUPL (https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen7uu-378836).
