Good day, peeps! I decided that this team really needed a tune-up despite it getting me to a 1516 ELO on the Gen 7 Balanced Hackmons ladder. This team is mainly based around getting Celesteela to do big damage, on top of pivot support (U-Turn, Parting Shot). I tinkered around with some of the movesets and tested them before coming here to ask for help, so here we are. I accept all forms of criticism, as this will help me progress the ladder and transition towards the top.
Now let's get into the big stuff!
Edited to give lines of description to my Pokemon, as described in the rules.
The Build
beautyqueen (Celesteela) @ Big Root
Ability: Triage
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Tail Glow
- Oblivion Wing
- Strength Sap
- Leech Seed
(The main queen. Her servants are to pivot around their opponents and get her in safely. Triage is one the best abilities in Hackmons, so why wouldn't I go for healing moves? Tail Glow gets BeautyQueen a boost so her attacks do more damage, on top of Leech Seed and Stength Sap for support.)
toothytank (Slowbro-Mega) @ Leftovers
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Scald
- Shore Up
- Parting Shot
- King's Shield
(ToothyTank here is BULKY, and I mean BULKY. It can take a Deoxys-S Shell Smash Boosted Power Trip and walls several other Pokemon. This mainly a physical wall set, with Scald for burn, Shore Up for instant recovery, Parting Shot for mons like Mega-Mewtwo-X and SimpleShellSmashers (and because of pivoting), and King's Shield for protection and the attack drop.)
mixlymingo (Necrozma-Ultra) @ Ultranecrozium Z
Ability: Magic Bounce
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Quirky Nature
- Spectral Thief
- U-turn
- Photon Geyser
- Knock Off
(Surprisingly very fun to use. I usually switch into it when I encounter potential hazard setters, like Giratina. Ultranecrozium Z 2HKOs full-health Defense-invested Registeel. Spectral Thief is for Tail Glow users and Shell Smashers, U-turn for pivot, Photon Geyser for coverage + STAB, and Knock Off to get rid of Shed Shellers and Spooky Plate Gengar.)
balancedbob (Dialga) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Fur Coat
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD
Brave Nature
- U-turn
- Nuzzle
- Core Enforcer
- Spectral Thief
(I love this mon because it's unpredictable. Assault Vest gets me the extra Sp.Def boost, stacking along with Fur Coat. U-Turn for pivot, Nuzzle for paralysis (Mainly for PixilateDiancie and other -ate users.) Core Enforcer eliminates No Guard users, along with my non-invested Speed stat (Mega-Mewtwo-Y and Mega-Pidgeot), and Spectral Thief to steal boosts and hit back hard.
demondemetrius (Giratina) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Parting Shot
- Aromatherapy
- Defog
- Shore Up
(DemonDemetrius works hand in hand with Your Highness, often clearing the way of any entry hazards or ridding her of paralysis, sleep, and burns. Parting Shot helps it pivot to her, with Shore Up for instant recovery.)
genesisgerold (Mewtwo-Mega-Y) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Dazzling
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Photon Geyser
- Moongeist Beam
- Secret Sword
- Parting Shot
(GenesisGerold is Sturdinja-proofed and likes going all out. Photon Geyser for STAB, Moongeist Beam for coverage, Secret Sword deals super effective damage to Registeel, and Parting Shot to pivot.)
