Mega Pod Triple SD Team
by blisteringbigfoot
I've taken this team to the top 300 and above on the Champions OU ladder several times, and it starts with none other than the menace itself: Mega Golisopod. The set is pretty standard; SD for setup, Leech Life and Iron Head for dual STAB and recovery, and Aqua Jet for priority and to kill most fire types at +2. Next up, H-Samurott, one of the best Pokemon in this meta. This set in particular (that I cannot take credit for) catches a lot of people off guard. The EV spread helps it live a lot of attacks, SD and Encore to setup on slower mons such as Corviknight and G-Slowking, and Ceaseless Edge and Sucker Punch for STAB, hazards, and priority. We then have the classic Rillaboom and Sneasler Combo. These two don’t need much of an introduction, sets are pretty standard with the exception of Rock Slide on Sneasler to catch fire types like Charizard and Volcarona off guard and to fish for flinches. Glimmora is next. Once again, the set is pretty standard: suicide lead to set up rocks and toxic spikes while also acting as an emergency hazard remover. Finally, we have another bug type menace: Volcarona. I am a huge fan of this life orb substitute set. You can setup on slower Pokemon trying to status you, Fiery Dance lets you snowball, and Giga Drain provides coverage for water types, healing, and pairs nicely with Rillaboom’s grassy terrain. This team isn’t perfect. Despite being an offensive team, it still has a fairly weak defensive core and requires careful piloting. Notable interactions include switching M-Golisopod out of any Pokemon that could realistically be running a fire move (which is a LOT more than you might think), stacking up hazards alongside the SD + Encore pressure from H-Samurott, sweeping with unburden + grassy seed boosted Sneasler in the endgame, and knocking off Corviknights running Rocky Helmet with Rillaboom to help M-Golisopod sweep. Overall, this team has been very fun to play and seems fairly viable.
