Arctozolt:
Sash so it can survive hits and win a 2 v 1 scenario
I like most of the moves on this mon and the jolly nature allows you to outspeed a g-motlres with no speed investment

Ninetails:
The main reason I wanted to make this team. I got a shiny vulpix in the event and I really wanted to make it work. I chose for it to be max speed so it can speed tie max speed kartanas who can one shot it twice over. I ran ice shard to break sashes before hail and self proc wp on moltres. Blizzard and dazzling gleam are just standard attacking moves.

Moltres:
I ran moltres as a wp user and a mon who works well with screens. It’s my primary max target and can get very strong very fast with nasty plot berserk and wp. Because it’s my max mon I run hurricane but I’m not complete sold on it.

Tapu koko:
Electric terrain can make arctozolts bolt beak one shot almost anything. I have volt switch so when I lead it with zolt I can pivot into ninetails and inflict massive damage. Electro web is there for support only and gleam for damage.

Garchomp:
A bulky mon that can work very well with moltres. Behind veil and vest it is almost unkillable

Spectrier:
A fast will o wisp mon to counter physical mons like metagross and regigigas. It could have been pult but then that would be to much type overlay.

Common leads:
Koko-zolt: pivot into ninetails with volt switch and kill everything

Ninetails-moltres: set up screens or self proc policy and kill most things. Also counter to indeede hat with just blizzard wrath and pray for flinch or freeze

Chomp-moltres:eq and fiery wrath everything

Spectrier-chomp/moltres:
Main counter to nut and regigigas weezing. Burn and hope it doesn’t miss.

Overall I do like how this team works but it does lose to kart and gastrodon.
I appreciate any advice given.

Answer 1

I don't think I would change any Pokemon on the team, they seem to have good synergy and I like the overall strategy. However, some of the spreads can be reworked.

Arctozolt- Barely anyone uses 0-speed Moltres, so you don't have to worry about using a jolly nature to outspeed it, plus you have hail so you'll outspeed it anyway. Adamant is best, it still outspeeds dragapult in hail.

Ninetales- looks good.

Moltres- Again, 0-speed Moltres isn't common, and that's for a reason. Max airstream boosts its speed, so you'll want to creep some threats at +1. 76 EVs speed creeps Thundurus at +1, or 188 will let you outspeed Spectrier. Also, with screens you'll survive after your Dynamax ends often, so Air Slash is probably better.

Koko- good.

Garchomp- Garchomp has a nice speed stat of 102, passing the very common base 100 stat. 244 EVs let you creep base 100s by one, which is always good, and you can put 4 EVs in each defensive stat, or you can just go for 252/252/4 to creep Pokemon that are creeping base 100s, as well as help against mirrors, although you've got two ice types so that shouldn't be much of a problem. Also, since you're using an Assault Vest, moving some EVs from attack to Sp. Def. could be worthwhile, as you'll get more points per EV with the AV. I'd recommend doing some calcs to see if you want to invest or not.

Spectrier- looks good. Again, doing some defensive calcs and shifting EVs away from Sp. Att. could be useful as it's primarily support, but it's up to you.

I hope this helps!
