please fix my regulation set I sun team.

Question

Meowscarada @ Choice Band
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ice
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flower Trick
- Triple Axel
- Thunder Punch
- U-turn

So in my sun team we have one goal, to keep sun up and i took that into an offensive perspective - instead of using tornadus and other prankster pokemon to set up priority sun I will just kill who does! Banded flower trick kills kyogres cause there are more kyogres than slowpokes in slowpoke island right now, thunder punch destroys pelipers and triple axel is for coverage. Tera ice to boost triple axel but to also to get a defense boost in snow; I am quite satisfied with it.

Greninja @ Choice Specs
Ability: Protean
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Weather Ball
- Water Shuriken
- U-turn
- Tera Blast

I don't use greninja much cause he is slower and weak to the ever growing miraidons but I will always choose him with a slow team, its role is to sweep in any weather, lemme explain: protean makes your type the first move it uses so sand immunity but that means if its rain you get INSANE damage with stab weather balls but guess what?you get stab weather balls in sand too! (you get the point), also fire type weather balls in sun destroys calyrex-ice. Also have you ever seen a fire type greninja?

Koraidon @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Fire
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Protect
- Dragon Claw
- Collision Course
- Flare Blitz

I need help, any other set would do. Clear amulet for intimidate and the rest except protect are offense, any suggestions would d0.

Goodra-Hisui @ Assault Vest
Ability: Gooey
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Feint
- Dragon Tail
- Gyro Ball
- Flash Cannon

also need help with this, its meant to tank special hits while gooey punishes electro drift and physical attacks. Also is gyro ball or heavy slam better?

Garganacl @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Purifying Salt
Tera Type: Ghost
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Salt Cure
- Recover
- Protect
- Wide Guard

Really good mon and very satisfied with it and counters terapagos and calyrex-shadow who attack them with neutral attacks (but don't really tank them but thats ok), salt cure for water types cause they are usually in rain teams, also wide guard protects my team from water spout so thats nice. Safety Goggles for rage powder that prevent me from salt curing frail or steel pokemon. The only thing I'm concerned about is that safety goggles prevents spore but purifying salt prevents that to and vise versa so I'm considering replacing one of them and safety goggles don't prevent follow me - but fine keeping it the same cause its still really good.

Typhlosion-Hisui @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Frisk
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 4 HP / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Eruption
- Heat Wave
- Shadow Ball
- Solar Beam

really good mon I like it nothing wrong with it, has a defensive and offensive tera but I am thinking of putting extrasensory for coverage and who will dare have a dark type face my koraidon?! (cause he will most of the time be sent with him)

for reg i, maybe have restricteds?

Answer 1

This is a really nice team, but...

Meowscarada
No problems, except for the fact meowscarada will very easily faint against the very common scarf chi yu. Ice is a pretty rubbish tera type, despite boosting triple axel, but to fix this I would recommend tera fire and maybe a focus sash.

Greninja
Well done for making a water type fit on a sun team! The only thing I would change is tera ground to tera grass or ghost, since they both resist two of your weaknesses.

Koraidon
People did once use clear amulet koraidon, and it saw success. But not on earth. Clear amulet is pretty bad on koraidon, since it can't deal enough damage with it to be threatening. Nowadays people use life orb instead since it deals insane damage. Also the moveset is kinda bad. Flare blitz and protect can stay, but dragon claw covers nothing, so change it to flame charge for a speed boost, and if you opt to keep clear amulet, use close combat instead of collision coarse because you will need slightly more damage.

Goodra
Goodra is a great special tank, but nothing else. If you are running a special goodra, why the two physical moves then? You could maybe change it to a physical attacking goodra with minimal speed to deal more damage with gyro ball and dragon tail, and you could just change flash cannon to heavy slam. Other than that and the fact goodra is not really viable in any doubles format except for maybe doubles uu, looks good.

Garganacl
Fine except who is going to spore a garganacl? Change item to, like, a sitrus berry or something.

Typhlosian
Perfect. Well done.

So a recap: change meowscaradas tera type and item, change greninjas tera type, change koraidons item and moves, change goodra's moves and EVs, and change Garganacl's item.
You don't have to do any of this, but I hope I helped :)
