Mega Tar is great in the meta right now. Most of the other mega pokemon that either outshined it or countered it last gen are either banned unreleased or deemed nonviable in the current meta. Like I said before this mon is incredibly bulky, being able to take a super effective eq from a max attack lando and allowing it to dd on it and attempt to sweep. And once you get +2 the game is most likely over unless your opponent has ash greninja. As for the rest of his moves, stone edge is strong rock stab, ice punch is for either zygarde or lando and eq is just a strong attack for it to spam.

Latios has a pretty standard set but I'll quickly run over it. Defog is for hazard control so my volcarona can put in some work and for webs in case they get 2 dangerous. Psychic and draco are spammable stab and trick is to give my scarf to more bulkier mons that like to recover stall or set up rocks.

Usually I would run lando-t as my rocker but this time I decided to change it up. I remembered seeing clef in both Bengay's team and his opponent's team in wcop and decided to test it out. I originally had sp def Clef but after being ohko'd by a bisharp I realized that phy def was more viable in this meta. For the other moves, its kinda self explanatory. Knock off is to remove lefties or other annoying items off mons, moonblast is standard stab and soft boiled is for recovery.

I haven't used ash-gren a lot this gen or really at all. So I decided to just slam the mon on the team and give it an actual try now that I have a better understanding of the meta. The set itself is pretty standard besides ice beam over u-turn, which still isn't revolutionary. The only reason I run ice beam is for zygarde so I don't have to rely on a hydro pump hitting twice in a row or dark pulse flinching.

I think I'm in love with zygarde. Whenever I have a problem teambuilding, this is my go to mon this gen. I run 104 speed to outspeed Shift Gear Magearna before the speed boost and glare to slow down threats that can be a nuisance to the team.

Volcarona is another mon I just put on the team because I didn't really use it. And boy does it do work. Psychium Z gives Volc a move that lets it ohko all of it's checks without running another coverage move. I usually run giga drain for greninja or hp ground for heatran but I have considered running roost just because psychic and fire hit basically everything else.
Medicham ohkos mega ttar and while clefable is max def+/hp, zen headbutt can flinch make it an unreliable check.
Scarf nihelgo is more of an annoyance than a threat. But a well played nihelgo can be dangerous to this team. It prevents volc from setting up since it outspeeds and can come in and ohko it. Not only that but it's poison stab hits most of my team hard and since most of them run hp ice coverage, zygarde isn't safe either.
Low kick, ice beam, gunk and hydro protean gren basically 6-0s this team. If it wins the speed tie on my gren being turning into ash I'm in a bad position. Invested gunk shot can ohko volc, 2hko clef. Low kick kills gren and ttar and ice beam kills zygarde and lati.
Once mag sets up a shift gear and gotten atleast once boost it can be very hard to recover. Boltbeam+ fighting z can hurt this team bad and flash cannon is no joke. Usually you have to play around and make sure it doesn't set up unless its low enough where gren can kill with water shuriken or lati with psychic.
