I realized that normal Pokémon can’t really keep up in higher Elos so here’s the Improved version.
Zacian-Crowned @ Rusted Sword
Ability: Intrepid Sword
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 ATK / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly / Adamant
Moves:
-Close Combat/Sacred Sword
-Behemoth Blade
-Play Rough
-Wild Charge/Swords Dance
Explanation:
Zacian-C doesn’t need too much setup to sweep teams. You can take swords Dance, but it will limit your coverage slightly. It’s not a vital part of Zacian’s Set though. Sacred Sword is my go-to because defensive mons can wall Zacian if they get too many boosts, and because the Def/SpD drops aren’t really worth it for Zacian. Behemoth Blade is the best Steel move it gets (Iron head flinch is too risky to rely on.). Play Rough is here for the same reason. It’s literally the only good fairy stab it learns. Wild charge is useful for coverage, but like I said, it’s not necessary.
Tapu Koko @ Electric Seed
Ability: Electric Surge
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 252 ATK / 252 Spe / 4 HP
Nature: Adamant
Moves:
-Wild Charge
-U-Turn/Nature’s Madness
-Acrobatics
-Agility
Explanation:
Tapu Koko is (I think) Usually a support mon, having moves like Light Screen, Reflect, Defog, Substitute, Roost, etc.. But it also has a pretty decent Attack of 115. With a.. well pretty mediocre 359 speed it doesn’t our speed much, but that’s why it has the Elec Seed. It should survive a hit hopefully, then use agility, then sweep.
U-Turn is for Scouting, and in case a Steelix or something comes along. Acrobatics should be max power when it switches in iirc. Wild Charge is better than T-Bolt. You COULD use Thunder Punch if you really don’t want recoil, but that’s quite weak.
Calyrex-Shadow @ Focus Sash
Ability: As One (Unnerve + Grim Neigh)
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 HP / 252 Spe
Nature: Timid
Moves:
-Astral Barrage
-Psychic/Psyshock
-Giga Drain
-Dark Pulse
Explanation:
Calyrex-S really is only countered by moms with a dark/Ghost move. Tera Type Dark fixes this issue. Astral Barrage is always gonna be on Calyrex as it’s the best ghost move in the game (debatably outside of spectral thief). Psychic is another STAB that is probably better than Psyshock, but they both have Pros and Cons. Giga Drain probably seems pretty unorthodox, but it’s useful for HP recovery, as at ful hp focus sash activated even if it was already used in the battle. Also checks Rhyperior’s With stealth rock and Spikes.
Dark Pulse is for coverage.
Koraidon @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Steel
EVs: 252 ATK / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Nature: Jolly
Moves:
-Collision Course
-Outrage
-Flare Blitz
-Zen Headbutt/Iron Head
Explanation:
Koraidon is decently fast, but still gets outsped by Zacian-C, Ties with Chien-Pao, Outsped by Alakazam-M etc.. That’s why we have the Scarf.
Collision Course is way better than Close Combat because A.) No Stat drops and B.) Does 1.33x damage stacked onto the already 2x damage it would do if it’s super effective.
Outrage is really easy to counter, but it’s way better than dragon claw. Dragon claw is just too weak to be any good.
Flare blitz is coverage + Hyperpowered thanks to its ability setting up sun.
Zen headbutt/iron head is just extra coverage.
Glimmora @ Focus Sash
Ability: Toxic Debris
Tera Type: Unsure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Moves:
-Spikes
-Stealth Rock
-Mortal Spin
-Memento
Explanation:
Glimmora is really solid because it can be both a setup Pokémon or an attacker. It has a lot of both. This set is setup only though.
Spikes & Stealth Rock need no explanation. Great hazards. Mortal spin is just better defog. Memento is for threats that can hit really hard.
Focus Sash > Leftovers becaus this things has to hit threats with memento when it needs to (ex. Against Koraidon.).
Darkrai @ Heavy - Duty Boots
Ability: Bad Dreams
Tera Type: Steel or Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 8 SpA / 252 Spe
Nature: Hasty
Moves:
-Haze
-Dark Pulse
-Brick Break
-Will-O-Wisp
Explanation:
Haze is a necessary part of this team. It can destroy setup teams and ruins hatterene setups. Dark Pulse is a main attack in case of taunt. Brick break isn’t for attacking, it’s only to break screens.
Will-O-Wisp is just a great move overall. Burn is one of the best status’s to have when your using it on an opponent.
