Week 16 (New USUM Defog users)

by Hikari

I wanted two things: - Use Moltres - Slap as many potential Defoggers as I could in one team, while making sure it isn't cheesy and works vs competent players Moltres is the star of the team, hits pretty hard (Z-Hurricane is amazing) and it's surprisingly hard to check thanks to the combination of power and U-turn. Rotom-W has amazing synergy with Moltres, as it checks some Water-types that threaten it, removes rocks, and many of the things that don't mind Volt Switch are Moltres bait. Serperior is the backup Defogger, can pull off sweeps vs some teams once the rest of the team weakens the foe's team, and it really enjoys getting free switch ins thanks to Voltturn. Scizor is standard in teams like this, checks tons of shit, wrecks shit with U-turn and has solid offensive synergy with Moltres and Rotom-W. Mega Altaria patches a bunch of holes, provides Heal Bell support (Refresh is usually the preferred option, but the team isn't based around Altaria), and if you face one of the shitty teams that rely on Scizor to not get swept by this, they pretty much can't click U-turn once against anything because Moltres is Flame Body. I wanted a SR user, soft Aerodactyl check, hard Manetric / Raikou counter, and I didn't want to use Swampert because it's easier to chip down. Team isn't anything amazing, but it has been extremely reliable vs good players so far. ftr I like my slow Volturners to punish the mirror matchup and I don't need to speed creep with them on this team.
