Definitly noivern, it is so fun to break resists

I was going to use the Valiant build from this team, but by the time I decided to make a team, after seeing this today, it said Valiant was banned for this battle category when I did validate after making my team.😅 Oh well. I’ll just have to find another alternate pkmn for the final slot in my team.

[@dracomenace]

Yeah, valiant was so damn busted in this meta

[@shallowglaive7892]

Chlorophyll Hydreigon makes an EXCELLENT replacement though. At least when you’re running a sun spawn pkmn. I’m running an Iron Moth with Desolate Land, Scarf, Overheat/Sludge Wave/Discharge/Solar Beam, and then Modest w/4HP | 252SpAtk | 252Spe that absolutely shreds. The Drei set is pretty nasty too. It’s a split alternate for Valiant so it has both physical and special atks.

[@dracomenace]

@@shallowglaive7892 Ah, nice

[@ttttttttttttttttt.]

@@shallowglaive7892 gonna quickly add for others that chlorophyll (and all weather-reliant abilities) are generally pretty mid and shouldnt be built around due to how common primsea and desoland are. hadron engine + surge surfer, on the other hand, is great right now due to the lack of other terrain setting abilities. houndstone is a major example of how this is abused, and can easily be paired with almost any strong special attacker with an electric move (to actually abuse eterrain lol)

[@shallowglaive7892]

Yeah, I had it while I was testing abilities. It’s gone now. Replaced by a much better option. It’s now a fully defensive Nasty Rotom-Wash with Steam Engine. The ability isn’t necessarily needed for it to sweep, but when I can proc it as a Water Absorb/Flash Fire type of situation, it becomes a real sweeper and I love it.

[@flordelizapacifico4022]

I'd like to see you try Tera Electric Shedinja with Levitate and Heavy Duty Boots... And Well-Baked Body on Scizor, if you lure in a fire move it's gonna be broken lol

[@dracomenace]

I am having a lot of fun with well baked body corvknight 😁

Tera would be fun in this meta but it is definitely OP ex. Tera flying aerlitate specs boomburst noiver

[@dracomenace]

Noivern is pretty OP in this meta

[@Celeste-Addict]

Also same thing but banded e speed dnite

[@sbsbsnamsnz]

@@Celeste-Addict imo noivern is better because boomburst bypasses sub so it prevents triage iron hands from belly drumming because id does like 90% to full hp 0 spd, also the current meta has much more physical walls but drago is also great, sadly you cant use same abilities in one team

[@ttttttttttttttttt.]

ill have to finish that analysis then lol, put it off too long

[@flordelizapacifico4022]

Tera Electric Shedinja with Levitate and Heavy Duty Boots..

[@patol_or_sabes6238]

Question, can you give balloon and wonder guard to an electric type in this mode or no? I don’t play showdown much so idk what works or doesn’t.

[@dracomenace]

Llegue a top 10 en ladder de AAA, pero ya banearon fur coat y Ice Scale, así que he modificado un poco a mi equipo. Y ya de entrada a gholdengo jamás le tiró ataques fuego o tierra, es un truco que siempre hago. Por ejemplo scizor es más que obvio que es flash fire.

[@dracomenace]

Can you explain that in English?

[@jaasielgil7013]

@@dracomenace I got top 10 on the ladder in Almost Any Ability. Fur Coat and Ice Scales are now banned, but I modified my original equipment. Regarding Gholdengo, I never throw attacks at him if there is an ability that makes them immune, it's a trick I always do.

They should rename hadron engine into chaos engine since showdown iron valiant has it thats sounds cooler also a reference for metal sonic look in its design and metal sonic running on chaos energy

[@dracomenace]

Chaos engine has a neat sound to it
