[@carterbxable]

I've been trying to make a soaking wet miriadon team work since the start of reg g, had a pelipper team work a little but never considered inteleon

[@casper_z1259]

Soak is great because it can also be used defensively by Soaking an ally

[@MeltinStareSounds]

Game 1 was so entertaining

Incin: where my u-turn at? 😅

I saw others trying to use this team and nobody every succeed at using Soak with Miraidon as ally. It is propably because of Weakness Policy - people prioritze triggering it over making enemies weak to electric. Yes if enemy terastalize they fail to soak but rarerly you will see a ground type using Tera when they are already immune to Miraidon, wich you may hard swap and they might need that immunity later on in a fight so they will not do that 99% of time. The Groudon with Assault Vest, max HP and some investment in sp.def will survive +2 dragon pulse from miraidon, but it will not survivie +0 Electro Drift if it was Soaked (well it has 96.6% ~114% chance to OHKO if your Miraidon is Timid) even if there's no electric terrain. Tera Electric would have just seal the deal for sure but even if you are Tera ground, you should have went for Soak. Weakness Policy isn't the best item for Miraidon if i'm being honest but its not like you can change the team given. Still in ideal world you'd want U-turn on tera grass miraidon and then brin in Inteleon somehow to Soak. But that imples enemy would not focus on Miraidon (unlikely) and that they would KO one of your pokemon on the switch in and not sure its a good idea to basically have 3 pokemon with one of them being choice scarf inteleon. That Scarf kinda hurt inteleon too. Imo sash would have more success with option to protect. You could potentially Soak or Icy Wind turn 1 while Miraidon protect and IF Inteleon was not KO'ed then you could try U turn on self. Granted it would take effect after Miraidon moves in that turn but if you Soak'ed chances are you are either forcing a swap, force a protect, unwilingly making them Tera something they didn't wanted to Tera or you KO something and then you can just destroy afterwards with +2. Yes that is still limiting strategy but if you want to utilize Inteleon, i'd recommand Sash or actually using that Soak with Scarf over U-turning.

It's definitely a little awkward, but I think it's a cool idea. If I were to try myself I'd consider Specs Discharge + Scarf Soak, and just tera Inteleon
