Explanations:
I wanted to counter the frequent water types in this series by using Dracozolt, which is the core for this team. 140 speed investment allows it to outspeed all base 60 speed Pokemon with 252 in speed, which is pretty niche against Pokemon such as Primarina. The sp.def investment allows it to tank Lapras' GMAX Resonance and Primarina's DMAX Moonblast, which is frightening as it allows Dracozolt to murder them.
104+ Atk Life Orb Hustle Dracozolt Max Lightning vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Dynamax Primarina: 439-517 (117.3 - 138.2%) -- guaranteed OHKO
104+ Atk Life Orb Hustle Dracozolt Max Lightning vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Dynamax Lapras: 289-343 (60.9 - 72.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery -- Will take out Lapras no matter what because Dracozolt is faster.
+2 252 SpA Lapras Max Hailstorm vs. 40 HP / 220 SpD Dynamax Dracozolt: 314-372 (92.3 - 109.4%) -- 56.3% chance to OHKO (weakness policy comfey lapras)
252 SpA Lapras Max Hailstorm vs. 40 HP / 220 SpD Dynamax Dracozolt: 158-188 (46.4 - 55.2%) -- 68% chance to 2HKO (normal lapras)
The issue with this however, is if Amoongus makes its way onto the field. To counter this, I used Fire Fang on Dracozolt which had pretty surprising results:
104+ Atk Life Orb Hustle Dracozolt Max Flare vs. 248 HP / 168+ Def Amoonguss: 211-250 (95.9 - 113.6%) -- 75% chance to OHKO
I'll take my chances.
The typical plan is to lead Arcanine + Dracozolt for intimidate for Dracozolt to have better longevity.
Assault Vest Arcanine with investment allows it take tank Primarina's Hydro Cannon Max Geyser:
-1 252+ SpA Life Orb Primarina Max Geyser vs. 108 HP / 152+ SpD Assault Vest Arcanine: 151-179 (84.3 - 100%) -- 6.3% chance to OHKO
So the plan is to snarl then tank then allow Dracozolt to dish out massive amounts of damage.
My second lead is Primarina + Coalossal which is pretty common and hard to defend. This is if the opponent runs mons that can pose a threat to Dracozolt. The EV investment for Coalossal was rushed and please change it if you think there is a better spread.
Urshifu with focus sash is late game sweeper, having STAB Wicked Blow to deal massive amount of damage, alongside its niche Close Combat, knowing that it will be 2HKO either way. I'm sure most of you will agree with the set. I decided not to run sucker punch and replaced it with detect so that it could potentially make a late-game comeback if the opponent decides to double into Urshifu.
Lastly, Ferrethorn is simply for coverage due to my lack of grass and steel typing. Its x4 weakness to fire could also be used as a gimmick to invite Arcanines to flare blitz into my switched-in Coalossal.
Anyways, please tell me what to improve on for the team! Overall, it is a hyper offensive team with longevity to withstand numerous attacks from the current Meta.
Thanks for reading!
