Other Metagames The Dovah Squad (Peak Top 1, 1817 elo) -USUM Balanced Hackmons RMT- by Test Rex




The Dovah Squad


Hello, I am Test Rex and this is my first RMT. I have been playing BH for a bit more than a year and I have decided to make this RMT due to my peak of 1817 and rank 1 on ladder.
(my w/l is a bit low because this alt started as a testing alt for other teams)

169791



My main goal while making this team was to prove that both AV Zygarde and Mega Beedrill were worth using, but then the team slowly evolved after adding some support mons to fill in both offensive and defensive roles
I started off with a core of TClaws Beedrill and AV Regenerator Zyg. Zygarde is used as an improof to Beedrill, and Beedrill is fast and capable of taking down many powerful threats.

Flash Fire Registeel was chosen as an -ate check, a counter to Contrary MMY, and an improof to Zyg

My team was lacking checks to both Shell Smash and Choice Band, so I decided Prankster Gira would be the best option

Beedrill is great and all, but I realized that he lacks the firepower to take out opposing Gira's and Zyg's. Diancie was used to help compliment Beedrill by taking out many of his defensive checks

My team was very weak to FF Steels, specifically Aegislash, so I chose PHeal MMX. He also serves as nice utility for his ability to remove items and sleep numerous threats.

The Team:
Beedrill:

Aus Dinok Dovah (Beedrill-Mega) @ Choice Band
Ability: Tough Claws
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- V-create
- Sunsteel Strike
- Close Combat
I chose Beedrill due to his ability to act as a fast U-turn pivot with its ability to outspeed nearly the entire metagame. His incredibly powerful U-Turn and his numerous coverage moves make him an excellent choice. When faced with a sweeper, chip it's health down with U-Turn and pivot into one of the team's walls. Make sure to NEVER stay in against an enemy Rayquaza unless it's set is known, as Aerilate and Triage are far too common sets. Switch out to Registeel in order to handle it. Beedrill's Sunsteel Strike is also used as one of my Shed counters. Beedrill has quite a few other interesting benefits:
-V-Create can OHKO an imposter on switchin
-Beedrill can outspeed and OHKO MMY with u-turn
-Beedrill removes toxic spikes on switchin
-Beedrill can tank a fakespeed from MDiancie and counter with an OHKO with Sunsteel
Beedrill is improofed by both Zyg and Gira, but Zyg is the better choice to switch to due to it's passive healing from Regenerator

Zygarde:

SunvaarMunaxDovah (Zygarde-Complete) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Spectral Thief
- Metal Burst
- Core Enforcer
- U-turn
This is one of my favorite sets. If an enemy underestimates its immense bulk, it can cost them the battle. Zygarde can tank some insanely powerful Special attacks such as Specs Diancie Boomburst, SF MMY Ice Beam, Specs MRay Draco Meteor, and many others. He's also good at tanking physical hits due to its natural bulk. If you predict a strong move by your enemy, simply click Metal Burst and enjoy the Massacre. Zyg also serves a control for enemy setup mons and helps check PHeal with its low speed and ability to pivot well. Zyg is improofed by Registeel, but MMX also can work as you can try to switch in and use Knock Off or sleep the imposter.

-252+ SpA Choice Specs Pixilate Diancie-Mega Boomburst vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Zygarde-Complete: 524-618 (82.3 - 97.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Registeel:
169792

Dwiin Kaal Dovah (Registeel) @ Safety Goggles
Ability: Flash Fire
Level: 99
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Sassy Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Defog
- Topsy-Turvy
- Shore Up
- U-turn
FF Registeel serves as defensive support. It walls most common MDiancie sets and can take 2 hits from Specs MRay (Unless hazards are up). It checks TriRay with Topsy and Goggles, so long as the Ray isn't carrying Substitute. Registeel can switch into an unboosted Contrary MMY, topsy turvy it, and then heal. It's also good at baiting out fire moves, resulting in a dead turn for the foe. He also helps the team with hazard removal. Registeel serves as an improof for Gira and Zyg, and is improofed by MMX.


Giratina:
169795

Faasnu Maar Dovah (Giratina) @ Leftovers
Ability: Prankster
Level: 99
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Haze
- Core Enforcer
- U-turn
- Strength Sap

This is a bit of an unorthodox Gira set, having only leftovers and Strength Sap as healing. Although Zyg can endure physical hits, Gira can help serve as a better sweep-stopper with Prankster Haze. Core Enforcer works as good utility with it's ability negation. U-turn is used to help pivot, but it can also be swapped for DBond or Poison Fang. Gira serves as an improof for Beedrill and is improofed by Registeel and Diancie.

Diancie:
169796

Mul Rein Tey Dovah (Diancie-Mega) @ Pixie Plate
Ability: Pixilate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Mild Nature
- Boomburst
- Extreme Speed
- V-create
- Sunsteel Strike

Diancie has an absolutely immense amount of firepower, which it uses quite effectively for its sole goal on this team: Killing what Bee can't. Giratina's and Zygarde's are smashed by Boomburst Registeel/Aegislash/DuskMane/Solgaleo also get destroyed as long as they aren't Flash Fire. It even has a chance to 2HKO a neutral Sp.Def nature PDon. Sunsteel is used to check Shed and also to give Registeel a free switchin if you get impostered. Improofed by Registeel.

-252+ SpA Pixie Plate Pixilate Diancie-Mega Boomburst vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Giratina: 590-696 (117 - 138%) -- guaranteed OHKO
-252+ SpA Pixie Plate Pixilate Diancie-Mega Boomburst vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Zygarde-Complete: 692-816 (108.8 - 128.3%) -- guaranteed OHKO
-252 Atk Pixie Plate Pixilate Diancie-Mega Extreme Speed vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Mewtwo-Mega-X: 348-410 (83.6 - 98.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-252 Atk Diancie-Mega V-create vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Registeel: 272-320 (74.7 - 87.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Leftovers recovery
-252 Atk Diancie-Mega V-create vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Necrozma-Dusk-Mane: 306-362 (76.8 - 90.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-252 Atk Diancie-Mega V-create vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Solgaleo: 346-408 (72.3 - 85.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-252 Atk Diancie-Mega V-create vs. 252 HP / 252 Def Aegislash-Shield: 272-320 (83.9 - 98.7%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
-252+ SpA Pixie Plate Pixilate Diancie-Mega Boomburst vs. 252 HP / 252 SpD Groudon-Primal: 178-210 (44 - 51.9%) -- 14.8% chance to 2HKO

MMX:
169800

Zoor Dovahkiin (Mewtwo-Mega-X) @ Toxic Orb
Ability: Poison Heal
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SpA / 252 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Spore
- Close Combat
- Knock Off
- Icicle Crash

PHeal MMX doesn't require much explanation. He has great coverage (being this team's primary steel check), is self improof, and can sleep many opposing threats. The set is simple, yet incredibly effective.

Threats:
169801

Normgar: A big threat to this team if you aren't experienced. It can be checked by Topsy-ing its boosts and then letting Bee OHKO him. Another good strat would be to go for a sleep with MMX, but be careful of having PHeal removed.
169802

Refrig MMX: This set isn't very common, but its very dangerous. This set is one of the only MMX's that Gira can't check. Play around it using reads, as Registeel can tank ice moves very well. After you safely get Regi in, you can switch to Gira for the fighting type immunity. Gira can then tank Boomburst or Espeed (Only if Gira is at full health) and then counter with a Core Enforcer and wall it out. Also pheal mmx can serve as a wall for refrig mmx, it tanks fairly good e.speeds and close combat, and it can knock off and sleep the foe.
169803

Pheal xerneas: With the sleep clause, it is a bit less dangerous, but it is still strong. To play around it, Topsy with Registeel(As long as Xern doesn't have Earth Power), or use Spectral Thief with Zyg. Zyg can even go for a Metal burst, as it's insane bulk can even tank a +4 Moonblast.
+1 252+ SpA Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Zygarde-Complete: 254-302 (39.9 - 47.4%) -- guaranteed 3HKO
+2 252+ SpA Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Zygarde-Complete: 342-404 (53.7 - 63.5%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+3 252+ SpA Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Zygarde-Complete: 426-504 (66.9 - 79.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
+4 252+ SpA Xerneas Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 252+ SpD Assault Vest Zygarde-Complete: 512-606 (80.5 - 95.2%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

Posible Changes:
Beedrill: TClaws ->MoldBreaker
Close Combat->Spectral Thief
This set gives bee the ability to kill ff steels BUT the big problem that I see (and the reason why I use the other set) is that U-turn depends on a roll to OHKO MMY. Personally I prefer the other set but this is a option as well. Still improfed by zygod.
169798

PHeal MMX-> Magic Bounce TTar (+atack nature, leftovers, knock off/anchor shot/shore up/(Spectral Thief/Close Combat)
threatens normagars, bouncing hazards too. Spectral gives utility and allows self imposterproof, close combat gives coverage but breaks self imposterproof, ur choice. I still prefer mmx even when the normagar killing is harder, but this decision is up to you
This set threatens NormGars and bounces hazards. SpectralThief gives utility and allows for Self Improof, but Close Combat could also be used for better coverage. I prefer MMX, but this set works better if NormGar becomes too much of a problem for you.

Hey, it's Mickle here. While editing this RMT for Rex, I noticed a huge flaw. He suggested a TTar set other than...
Unfortunately, it seems this doesn't fit his team well, so I'll let this one slide. Just make sure to remember what the obviously superior TTar set is.

Conclusion:

This team is very good if used properly, but it needs a good user that is able to read the foe. I enjoy playing this team and I also liked making it, I hope that you enjoy it, thanks for reading. Pd: No, I weren't drunk while choosing the nicknames for the team, its the dovah language from TES, feel free to discover what it means.
