Urshifu-Rapid-Strike (M) @ Choice Band
Ability: Unseen Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Surging Strikes
- Close Combat
- U-turn
- Aqua Jet
Desc: This is your typical bread and butter Band-Shifu set, being capable of 2HKOing would-be checks in physically defensive Clefable and Corviknight after Stealth Rock. Aqua Jet helps to deal with Volcarona, Blacephalon, and Sand Rush Excadrill. It's undeniable wallbreaking power adds to the offensive synergy between it, Garticuno, and Regieleki.
Articuno-Galar @ Twisted Spoon
Ability: Competitive
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Modest Nature
- Freezing Glare
- Psyshock
- U-turn
- Future Sight
Desc: This Garticuno is meant to serve as an offensive pivot capable of taking advantage of the Lando-T switch forced by regieleki to get a Competitive boost. Future Sight benefits Urshifu greatly by allowing it to wear down it's resists, and break through Pex and allows Regieleki to pressure ground types throughout the match by forcing them to switch in. Psyshock was chosen over Air Slash/Hurricane/Shadow Ball due to Resisted Twisted Spoon boosted Freezing Glare doing more dmg than Neutral Shadow Ball and Air Slash, and Hurricane's inconsistency with it really only providing coverage for Rillaboom. U-Turn provides Garticuno with desperately needed pivoting due to its shallow movepool and hits Dark Types Super Effectively. Garticuno paired together with Eleki overwhelm the hell out of Landorus, Toxapex, Corviknight, Slowking and Tapu Fini.
Regieleki @ Choice Specs
Ability: Transistor
EVs: 40 HP / 252 SpA / 216 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Rapid Spin
- Ancient Power
- Electro Ball
Desc: Specs Regieleki is surpisingly strong being able to 2HKO and OHKO a variety of threats. 216 spe + Timid allows it outspeed modest Kingdra in rain. Ancient Power helps to wear down Lando as it switches in as well as serve as a KO option against Volcarona set-up. Rapid Spin provides hazard removal on the various switches regieleki forces. Against teams where Electric Immunites are non-existent or eliminated, Regieleki completely dominates as an unstoppable wallbreaker even when resisted. Urshifu beats every Ground-type in the metagame that Regieleki lures in and Regieleki threatens Offensive Tornadus, Pex, Slowbro, Rocky Helmet Corv, Scarf Kartana, Pelipper, Fini, and Zapdos, all of whcih Urshifu dislikes being in front of. Specs Electro Ball is what surprises most opponents with it being capable of reaching up 150 BP against slower, tankier mons. It's power allows Regieleki to 3HKO Blissey, 2HKO Defensive Ferrothorn, Specially Defensive Tyranitar in Sand, AV Slowking-G, AV Melmetal, and cleanly OHKO all Clefable variants. Transistor + Specs makes Regieleki one of if not the best cleaners in the meta once it's electric immunities have been removed LITERALLY being able to 2HKO EVERY OU tier non-immune switch-in except Blissey, effectively making it have virtually ZERO counters once you've removed your opponent's electric immunities.

Necrozma @ Weakness Policy
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 192 HP / 124 Def / 40 SpA / 88 SpD / 64 Spe
Serious Nature
- Photon Geyser
- Brick Break
- Heat Wave
- Stealth Rock
Desc: This is an Anti-Meta Necrozma hazard setter set that takes advantage of Prism Armor and the frequent Knock Offs and U-Turns Necrozma encounters from Urshifu, Dragapult, Tornadus-T, Landorus-T, Ferrothorn, etc for a Weakness Policy boost that it can use to eliminate a threat outright or punch significant holes in the opposing team early. Brick Break provides Utility in Dual Screen/Veil removal and can OHKO Tyranitar and Crawdaunt after a boost, the former of which Necrozma is walled by otherwise. Heat Wave OHKOes Kartana and Ferrothorn and 2HKOes Corv with a decent chance to OHKO if it gets a WP boost. STAB Photon Geyser serves as a Nuke button for big damage and early wallbreaking, doing HUGE damage after a WP boost. 192 HP + 124 Def + 88 SpD minimize dmg rolls while 64 Spe allows Necrozma to get the jump on Adamant Crawdaunt and BD Azumarill. Rest is put into SpA to improve the dmg rolls on Corv with Heat Wave.
Melmetal @ Assault Vest
Ability: Iron Fist
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 148 HP / 92 Atk / 252 SpD / 16 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Double Iron Bash
- Earthquake
- Ice Punch
- Thunder Punch
Desc: Typical AV Melmetal set with SpD maxed to improve dmg rolls against Special Attackers like Dragapult, Lele, and the like. Double Iron Bash is Melmetal's main wallbreaking move with 92 Atk EVs and an Adamant nature letting Melmetal OHKO Dragapult and Tapu Koko with Double Iron Bash. Earthquake hits opposing Melmetal, Heatran, Toxapex, and Victini, for SE dmg. 16 Spe EVs let's it outpace Toxapex and speed creep other Melmetals.
Rotom-Wash @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 128 Def / 4 SpA / 128 Spe
Bold Nature
- Volt Switch
- Hydro Pump
- Will-O-Wisp
- Pain Split
Desc: Once again a familiar set, Defensive Pivot Rotom-W fends off physical offensive threats like Garchomp and Barraskewda. Will-O-Wisp lets Rotom-W cripple hard-hitting physical attackers like Melmetal, Weavile, and Garchomp and nullifies Ferrothorn's Leftovers recovery and weakens its attacks. 128 Spe EVs lets Wash outspeed SpD Lando-T, Banded T-Tar, CM Fini, Adamant Crawdaunt, and Modest Volcanion whilst still under-speeding other Rotom-Washes for a slower Volt Switch. Leftovers and Pain Split serve as a forms of recovery, helping it more consistently check Garchomp and switch into Heatran as well as take Stealth Rock chip damage more easily. Melmetal appreciates Rotom-W threatening the likes of Corviknight and Slowbro, while Melmetal can check powerful attackers like Tapu Lele and Choice Band Tyranitar that can overwhelm Rotom-W.
