The team started out with belly drum salac smeargle as the only mon on the team
I then added mimikyu as a sweeper that can clean through teams after getting the boosts
After that I added excadrill for speed control, rocks, and hazard removal
I added webs smeargle for easy speed control with sticky webs
afterwards I added z swords dance arceus to take advantage of the moody boosts from webs smeargle and the belly drum boosts from salac smeargle
I added breloom to take advantage of the salac belly pass with spore bullet seed sub and drain punch
I replaced breloom with mega heracross because of its higher attack stat and skill link
Afterwards I replaced heracross with mray because it is more reliable and often sweeps without the boosts from baton pass
Smeargle @ Salac Berry
Ability: Own Tempo
EVs: 244 HP / 12 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spore
- Belly Drum
- Baton Pass
- Substitute
This was the pokemon the entire team was built around, the idea behind this set is that you put a slower pokemon to sleep with spore then you substitute, after that you belly drum, this will get you down to 25% with is enough to activate the salac berry to give a nifty speed boost that will help your sweeper outspeed almost everything. If your opponent wakes up turn you have to put them back to sleep with spore then pray that they don't wake up or switch in to a priority user so you can belly drum. This set has also beat would be baton pass counters just by getting 3 turn sleeps and then killing with a sweeper. The Biggest thing you need to remember is never come in on a faster pokemon or a pokemon with a non ghost priority or this strategy will fail.
Mimikyu @ Life Orb
Ability: Disguise
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Play Rough
- Shadow Sneak
- Shadow Claw
Mimikyu is one of this teams 3 sweepers, The main reason it is used on this team is as a safe option to baton pass to if your opponent is guaranteed to hit you next turn, Mimikyu has a decent enough attack stat that it can still sweep trough teams if it gets the +6 from belly drum
Some calcs
+6 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough vs. 240 HP / 252+ Def Arceus-Fairy: 376-445 (85.2 - 100.9%) -- 87.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
+6 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Play Rough vs. 248 HP / 236+ Def Kyogre-Primal: 464-547 (115.1 - 135.7%) -- guaranteed OHKO
+6 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Shadow Claw vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Groudon-Primal: 305-360 (75.4 - 89.1%) -- 12.5% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock (This one is kind of sad but if you keep disguise intact it still sweeps)
+6 252 Atk Life Orb Mimikyu Shadow Claw vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Arceus-Steel: 395-465 (88.9 - 104.7%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO after Stealth Rock
Mimikyu can also be used as an emergancy marsh and mray check
Arceus @ Normalium Z
Ability: Multitype
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Return
- Extreme Speed
- Shadow Claw/Earthquake
Arceus Normal is probably the best sweeper on this team, at +6 almost everything in the metagame dies in one hit after rocks with the exceptions being incredibly bulky ghost types and driflumb which is immune to its moves, Normalium Z is mainly used on this set for Z Swords dance so after gaining boosts from moody smeargle you can immediately remove all negative boosts and get up a swords dance, arceus appreciates any boost that is not special attack so it can gain boosts in 2 ways. Arceus normal is also strong enough to function without the boosts as a sweeper with webs up
Rayquaza-Mega @ Life Orb
Ability: Air Lock
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Dragon Ascent
- Earthquake
- Extreme Speed
DDance Life orb ray is slappable on any team, but seriously this set is part of the effort to make this team viable even if the main gimmick of the team fails, life orb dragon dance mray is really good on webs already and with the belly drum boost it becomes an absolute monster that is basically unstoppable.
dragon dance allows you to boost your stats for sweeps even when you don't get the belly pass
Excadrill @ Focus Sash
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Rock Tomb
- Stealth Rock
- Rapid Spin
- Earthquake
Excadrill is this team's dedicated lead, rock tomb is to help lower the opposing pokemon's speed allowing smeargle to more easily outspeed and spore, stealth rocks are very important on this team because sash pokemon are a huge problem and breaking sashes on switch is an invaluable for this team. Rapid spin allows it to remove hazards allowing sash smeargle to easily get up webs and earthquake is a relatively powerful stab attack coming from a base 130 attack stat so it can deal some damage if necessary
Smeargle @ Focus Sash
Ability: Moody
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spore
- Sticky Web
- Baton Pass
- Substitute/ Whirlwind
This smeargle has a dual purpose, the first thing it does is set up sticky webs to make things easier for the rest of the team and help smeargle boost up on something but it also has moody so it can gain the random stat boosts than baton pass in to a recipient (Usually arceus normal) Spore is to immobilize your opponent temporarily to allow smeargle to easily set up sticky web and the last move is a choice of 2 options You can either go with substitute so if you are able to easily spam sub against slow pokemon to gain boosts or you can run whrilwind to try and spread sleep throughout the entire team, so far I have found sub to be more reliable but whirlwind is also useful in many situations.
