Palafin and Scizor are the primary leads for the team. Palafin will often instantly switch out to Chien Pao, and Scizor will either protect in a bad matchup, Bullet Punch if there’s a flutter mane, or tailwind. Palafin is adamant for maximum damage output, enabling it to grab a 93% OHKO on Ting-Lu using Wave Crash without tera, as long as Ting Lu is running Max HP with only 4 Defence EVs. Close combat is for Kingambit, and not much else. I chose Scizor as my tailwind user and support mon in this team as it has a great matchup against flutter mane and chien pao, OHKOing both standard sets with Bullet Punch. Dragonite is there to smack things in with Ddance boosted extreme speeds alongside Chien Pao. I don’t normally bring flutter mane in, as the main point of the team is to win spamming big damage physical attackers, so the purpose of it is to take care of Annihalape. Amonguss is there for Dozo-Tatsugiri teams.
