Take me to your leader
Hello again humans and once again I am back with another RMT straight out of the pork chop mountains. This will be my second RMT and the reason why I am doing this is to get help for my team and spread the word of specially offensive Victini and Mamoswine. They are very underrated I think and serve a good role on teams.
OVERVIEW
IN-DEPTH
Mamoswine @ Focus Sash
Ability: Oblivious
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stealth Rock
- Icicle Spear / Icicle Crash
- Earthquake
- Ice Shard / Endeavor
If you didn't know, this month is Mamoswine awareness month. My thought process behind this team was all around this guy because I noticed many people were running HO and pretty much, this thing really dents a hole in HO. You can use this as SR lead or late game. I choose icicle spear because I like to break sashes such as Breloom and even Garchomp. I have ice shard because of the fact that dragon sweepers are amazing at the moment. You can use endeavor but I feel ice shard would be better.
Latias-Mega @ Latiasite
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 248 HP / 84 Def / 176 Spe
Timid Nature
- Calm Mind
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
The thought process behind this was basically having a safe Keldeo switch in and be reliable throughout the match. I chose mega latias because of those reasons and the fact it has enough bulk to efficiently set up and kill. I also wanted a (somewhat) check to mega medicham just to scare it off. This has helped me in so many situations and the team wouldn't be the same without this pokemon.
Bisharp (M) @ Lum Berry
Ability: Defiant
EVs: 72 HP / 252 Atk / 184 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Swords Dance
- Sucker Punch
- Iron Head
- Knock Off
Shoutouts to ABR for the set. You might be thinking, why lum berry out of all of the items? I say, why not? With this EV spread, you have enough speed to outspeed Rotom Wash and efficiently set up on it. Bisharp is a monster in this metagame, causing many stall teams to die out. This is just another example. Lum berry is also another way of not backing down to shed stall, which this team is really weak to. Now, an important part about this is that bisharp is the key core to this team, as it pairs up well with mega latias. This is why I chose this powerhouse. I believe that you can run your own bisharp set on this team as it is very global for this type of team.
Azumarill @ Choice Band
Ability: Huge Power
EVs: 48 HP / 252 Atk / 208 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Aqua Jet
- Superpower / Knock Off
- Play Rough
- Waterfall
When the easter bunny comes to your town, you better fucking run. Because this thing is no joke, and has the ability to hit 3/4 of the metagame. The reason why I run 48 hp investments is because I believe it already has enough speed so it should have bulk. You can run knock off over superpower but I don't really think it's good on this team because you can really catch Ferrothorns off guard, I've done it a lot myself. At this point I felt like I needed a water type to really tear things apart so my team can sweep later.
Excadrill @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Mold Breaker
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Earthquake
- Iron Head
- Rock Slide
- Rapid Spin
Now at this point I just need a fast spinner so those pesky rocks or spikes can be no more. Also, this thing is very fast and it outspeeds things that I need it to outspeed. Obviously I chose excadrill as a spinner and I didn't want starmie since I already have azumarill. He is also a steel type and that is really useful on this team, it provides more opportunities to switch in as HO. It also works good with azumarill.
Victini @ Life Orb
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Blue Flare
- Energy Ball
- Glaciate
- Focus Blast / Thunderbolt
Alas, the V card is here. The team didn't have much switchins to mega gardevoir and even with mega latias the team still looked very weak to mega gardevoir. So I added this. Best decision of my god damn life. The team started off with thunderbolt with victini but then I noticed that tyranitar just comes in once they find out I'm specially offensive. So I added focus blast and it's been working well and heatrans are dying much easier. You do not know how many wins I've gotten with this. People expect this to be some sort of scarf physical set but really, glaciate works in amazing ways. Lando-T? No. Err, Latios? No. I can go on and on but what I'm trying to say here is do not underestimate this Victini set, it will shut you down if you're not careful. I am trying to raise awareness for this because I feel like this would be an amazing addition to the metagame.
WEAKNESSES
- break shedinjas sash
- make mega sableye weak enough and predict right
- hope you have lum berry still on bisharp if you've done both ^ (for tflame)
Will keep updating this list.
REPLAYS

IN CONCLUSION..
I am 1900 right now and probably gonna climb later today. Please give me feedback, whether it be EV spreads, a bit of changing on the team, anything will help me. This is one of my better teams but of course all teams needs its work. My last RMT I had many suggestions and I really think they helped, so I'm excited to know what needs to be done here. This is my second RMT and I'm lookin forward for more!
