Swords Dance Saharaja

by spoo

This is a relatively standard team built around a Swords Dance + Rapid Spin set for CAP's newest release Saharaja. While Saharaja is important for answering Electric-types like Zeraora and Tapu Koko here, it's also a terrifying late-game cleaner when it starts boosting with Swords Dance, Diamond Storm, and Rapid Spin. Natures Madness Tapu Koko is excellent for breaking down some of Saharaja's checks like Landorus-T and Ferrothorn early-game so it can sweep more reliably, also forming a powerful offensive VoltTurn core with Urshifu-R. Tornadus-T helps fill in some defensive holes against threats like Dragapult and Cawmodore, while Astrolotl provides Spikes, some insurance against Venomicon, and a check to other threats like Heatran and Kartana. Ferrothorn is the bulky Steel-type of choice, rounding out the team with Stealth Rock and answering to some setup sweepers like Dragonite and opposing Saharaja.
