Other Metagames CLC Team RMT (MnM Balance ft. Mamoswine & Darkrai)

[kekleon9999]

Hey, guys! Welcome to my first gen 7 RMT! This team is the team I used for CLC Round 4, MnM! This team is built around the core Pokemon, Mamoswine, and Darkrai! I hope you enjoy and don't be afraid to criticise.

Process

To start off the team, I required Mamoswine and Darkrai. I decided to start with Mamoswine, because it was first on the list, and used the one on the Viability rankings, Lucarionite. The set I'm running is Earthquake for primary STAB that is fairly spammable, Icicle Crash for priority, Ice Shard for secondary STAB, mainly for the Flying types that could switch in on Earthquake, and Stone Edge for things like Charizard.

As I previously stated, the team required Mamoswine, and Darkrai to be eligible for Hall of Fame. After a thought between Absolite, Lucarionite, and Blastoisinite, I decided to use Alakazite for its nice utility in Trace, in case I ran into a nice ability, like Desolate Land and Primordial Sea. I used a set of Nasty Plot for the Set up against Sablenite Blissey, Dark Pulse for spammable STAB, Focus Blast for extra insurance, and Thunderbolt for the water types that would otherwise harm Mamoswine.

The first Pokemon that I got to choose, I decided to be Pinsirite Genesect, because of it's newfound STAB Aerilate Extreme Speed helping out Mamoswine and Darkrai immensely hitting Fighting and Bug-types super effectively. On top of that, I decided to run X-Scissor for STAB, and because he didn't get Leech Life, U-Turn for momentum, although it's kind of useless being the only one, and Iron Head, for before I mega, and to check the Fairy types for Darkrai.

The next mon I decided, was a natural Steel-Flying type, Celesteela! Being new to the Metagame, both me and Celesteela, I decided to choose between Venusaurite and Blue Orb, using the previous of the two, so he would effectively lose his weakness to Fire, and giving him an Ice resist. The set I'm running is Flash Cannon for STAB, Air Slash flinches and secondary STAB, Fire Blast for fellow Steel Types, and Energy Ball for coverage.

Staying true to my framework, I decided to use my favourite Wall in the metagame, Sablenite Blissey, for Hazard prevention, and general annoyance. The set I'm using is Toxic for Stalling potential, Wish for recovery for the whole team, Protect for when I want to heal myself from low, and Seismic Toss for some consistent damage.

The final mon on my team is Primal Groudon for the Water Immunity, and need for a hazard setter, other than the iffy Magic Bounce. My set is Stealth Rock for hazards, Precipe Blades for damage when I need it, Toxic for Passive damage, and Protect for extended usage.
