Floofy (Slither Wing) @ Life Orb
Ability: Protosynthesis
Shiny: Yes
Tera Type: Bug
EVs: 88 HP / 252 Atk / 168 Spe
Adamant Nature
- First Impression
- Close Combat
- Flare Blitz
- Earthquake
This little guy is the star of the squad. I gave him Tera Bug for max first impression damage, close combat for stab, and flare blitz for coverage.

Flutter Mane @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Dragon
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Helping Hand
- Protect
- Taunt
- Moonblast
I wanted to give him helping hand so he can give teammates extra damage. Moonblast for coverage

Koraidon @ Clear Amulet
Ability: Orichalcum Pulse
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Close Combat
- Protect
- Dragon Claw
- Flare Blitz
Koraidon is meant to come in set sun, take out dark types, and leave. I think he does that quite well earning him a spot on the team.

Raging Bolt @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Protosynthesis
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 244 HP / 252 SpA / 12 SpD
Modest Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Weather Ball
- Thunderclap
- Protect
- Dragon Pulse
I added this guy to give a bit of coverage and squeak in extra damage right before he dies with thunder clap.

Calyrex-Shadow @ Choice Specs
Ability: As One (Spectrier)
Tera Type: Dark
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Astral Barrage
- Giga Drain
- Psyshock
- Dark Pulse
It’s here for the massive spread damage and not really anything else.

Whimsicott @ Mental Herb
Ability: Prankster
Tera Type: Water
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Encore
- Protect
- Tailwind
- Energy Ball
Speed setter. I added encore for utility and energy ball so it’s not helpless.

Some stuff I noticed:
Your team has no setup at all, so breaking through bulky pokemon is very challenging

Despite having 2 fighting types, your team is pretty weak to Incineroar, since it has intim to weaken damage output, and your other pokemon don't cover it very well.

Some of the sets need a bit of fixing as well (rocky helm on flutter?)

Ill post an answer later. Don't expect it to be super duper good tho, I don't play VGC that much, but I have enough knowledge to perhaps help upgrade the team.
My koraidon actually destroys inciniroars with collision course it’s great
Maybe give Koraidon Clear Amulet and Close Combat, which let's Koraidon more consistently beat Incineroar.
hmmm and without choice band it can have protect ok I’ll try that
Choice band protect Koraidon?
They ment that liked my idea because Koraidon could run Protect With Clear Amulet while they couldn't do so with Band.
Do you still want this rated?
Yes pls
Whimsicott usually runs Moonblast instead of energy ball because its stronger and fairy is much better offensively that grass
I use to do that but I needed grass coverage and I already had flutter
The team is way too dependent on Sun, u need to add another way to win games, Sun isn't always gonna work. Trust me, I ran a sun team at Melb and if I didn't have my tr mode, so many games would've gone poorly
I would agree that normally you do want multiple ways of winning games like T room plus sun. Sun is however the only viable weather in reg I so you can get away with just sun as your strategy. Also you don’t need to worry about sun running out as sun is a very offensive team style so most games are almost over by the time sun runs out and at that point Calyrex can just sweep.
Sun isn't the **only** viable weather in reg i, Kyogre exists. If you're running pure sun, you need a non-sun reliant Pokemon that can deal with Kyogre.
Thats where raging bolt comes in. Also Kyogre is increadibly rare and it’s hard to justify a whole team slot just to kill Kyogre when you already have raging bolt to pressure it.
Yeah raging bolt pressures it extremely well the only downside is if there is a Tera ground kyogre
Most Kyogre run grass to deal with Amoonguss. But if Kyogre Tera grasses you can kill it with flare blitz or another fire/bug move.

Best answer

Overall I think the Pokemon on this team are all good. But the sets and items need some work so that’s what I’m going to address in this answer.

Slither Wing
Change Earthquake to protect as earthquake doesnt hit much in the meta rn and protect is more useful than earthquake anyway. I’d also suggest you switch either Cc or flare blitz for something like U-Turn so that you can use more fist impressions and have less move overlap with korraidon. U turn also lets you hit Farigiraf hard so that’s nice.

Flutter Mane
Dont try to make this thing bulky. Even with max bulk investment it’s still quite frail. Change rocky helmet to focus sash so you can live a hit and change the Tera to either Fairy for more dammage or normal Tera to help deal with Calyrex. Change the bulk investment to special attack as you don’t need the bulk investment. I’d also suggest you consider using icy wind or another attacking move over helping hand as Flutter does so much damage it’s kinda a waste to use helping hand on it.

Korraidon
Your current set is ok but I think a more bulky Korraidon would work better on this team so you can re set sun later in the game. The set I’d suggest is

Korraidon @ Clear amulet
Ability: Orachalcum pulse
Tera: Fire
Evs: 252 Hp / 252 Atk / 4 Spe
Nature: Adamant
-Flame charge
-Colision Corse
-Flare Blitz
-protect
This set gives more bulk and a better defensive Tera. Dont use Cc Korraidon unless your using the life orb set. Flame change is used so you can outspeed things like Calyrex shadow and max speed raidons. Flare blitz offers massive dammage when paired with Tera fire.

Raging Bolt
You already have so much fire type coverage so whether ball is kinda redundant. I’d use thunder bolt over wether ball and now that you have a consistent stab you can use Draco meteor over dragon pulse for a powerful nuke.

Calyrex
Choice specs is an interesting item choice on Calyrex but I think it can work. Drop dark pulse as it’s not useful when you have Astral barrage as an option. Instead use trick so you can potentially cripple one of the opposing Pokemon. Giga drain is also not a very useful move as even when it’s super effective astral barrage still hits harder. I’d suggest you try another move like substitute (for after you have tricked the opponent your specs) or something like will o wisp.

Whimsicott
Set is ok just switch the item for covert cloak so uour immune to fake out and change the Tera to dark so you can be immune to enemy prankster Pokemon. Also use Moonblast over energy ball as energy ball doesnt hit much in the current meta and with moonblast you have the potential to lower opponents special attack which can be a big problem for opponents if they ignore whimsicott.

Thanks!
Why Tera fire on koraidon? If it’s a survivalbility mon steel is better as it resists fairy which he is extremely weak to. Im currently running steel and it works quite well against miraidon because they tend to be a honorary fairy type.
Fire also resists fairy while giving you more offensive power. Steel can work and back at the start of reg G I did run a steel Tera Korraidon but fire gives you more offensive power while still being good defensively
