I've been out of town and totally let this slip my mind, apologies everyone! It's a tie between marilli and Matame, so I'll cast the tiebreaking vote and the winner of this week is...
Matame! As per usual, the winning team and description will be added to the Hall of Fame, and I'll even link the song in the description
This week, we're going to build around the recently-released
Mega Swampert! With Pelipper's presence in the metagame, Mega Swampert has a teammate that can set rain, take on Grass-types, and avoid Earthquake all in one, making it far easier to use this generation. With two strong STAB attacks, one boosted by rain and the other dealing spread damage, Mega Swampert easily takes advantage of the Speed boost from Swift Swim to punch holes in its foes. Coverage moves like Low Kick, Ice Punch, and Superpower round out a decent movepool, helping Mega Swampert take on Snorlax and Ferrothorn or Mega Salamence and Zygarde. Decent bulk keeps it fairly healthy and an Attack stat of 150 make Mega Swampert quite threatening, but outside of rain it is greatly hurt by a base 70 Speed stat. Grass-types and Intimidate also keep Mega Swampert at bay, but teammates can cover for it.
Deadline for building is
