Wanna drop two mons that have been most fun for me so far
Dugtrio @ Life Orb
Ability: Sand Force
Tera Type: Ground
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Earthquake
- Stone Edge
- Sucker Punch
My brain still tells me Duggy is bad LOL but it’s been a fun mon to use, one of the naturally fastest options equipped with a respectably strong EQ gives you solid revenge killing against the likes of Lycan Dusk and offensive Espeon. The SD buff finally makes this thing a little dicey to handle defensively, with some chip and/or tera ground you can bust through the fatties.
Slowbro @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Surf
- Future Sight
- Ice Beam
- Slack Off
Time for a real Pokemon that’s undoubtably good, Helmet Slowbro is a pretty brainless addition to teams that helps a ton vs the onslaught of fighters and even stuff like Haxorus and Lycan Dusk. Helmet + Regen is super good for nabbing free chip through pivots in order to set up your late game cleaners. Well-timed tera use can stop an Outraging Haxorus or Crunch Lycan Dusk from getting out of hand, and Future Sight is very easy pressure to set up if you can afford to stay in a turn.
I think if you’re going CB copper, something like this is a little more optimal imo. EQ is much more synergistic coverage, since it covers opposing steels and fires at once. Play Rough’s not even that important but it snipes Hariyama and is generally stronger than EQ because of Sheer Force. Frankly this mon struggles to make progress with slowbro around cus it lost power whip, and you don’t need much outside the first 3 moves, so give yourself the option to tera cheese your way through slowbro if you want. Speed for Palossand, and the split defense EVs are actually optimal due to Copperajah’s base stat distribution.
