hello all, (finally) we have some winners for the last month!
The first rate of the month winner is
vsomani,
he did a very cool and detailed rate. He started replacing dragonite with defensive landorus-t, which provides stealth rocks, also is a very solid defensive pivot able to check physical threats such as zygarde, mega charizard x and tyranitar. Landorus also complete a very strong volturn core which is able to bring charizard y and tyranitar safely in the field.
After that, vsomani replaced greninja with tapu koko, which is able to break past toxapex, one of the best charizard y's answers after arena trap ban. koko is also a very cool flying check for the likes of mega Pinsir, hawlucha and tornadus therian, he suggested a cm fairium + hidden power fire variant which is able to break through Zygarde and landorus t after a calm mid boost.
Finally he suggested to try aqua tail over fire punch on tyranitar, which improves the match up against stall teams that relies on hippowdon as choice banded Tyranitar check. At last he suggested to run max special defense on assault vest magearna to take more hits as possible by strong special attackers the likes of choice specs ash greninja, tapu lele and tapu koko.
The second rate of the month winner is
Simia , he did a
beautiful and detailed rate. He started mentioning that Zapdos was a huge threat for the team, especially for the hawlucha, he also mentioned the lacks of speed control, which is very important for an offensive team to handle fast threats. Simia suggested to replace kartana with clefable, calm mind stealth rocks clefable is a very cool answer for zapdos, it also able to set up rocks against Sableye stall, which hawlucha can't break past easily.
After the addition of Clefable, simia suggested bulky scarf landorus which provides speed control for the team and it is able to check some hawlucha's threats such as mega Pinsir and tapu koko, finally it provides hazard removal with defog.
At last, he suggested to replace life orb magnezone with Stellium z, z-flash cannon can be very helpful to remove key threats that stop hawlucha's sweep like landorus-t. Simia also suggested a second option, choice scarf magnezone, which improves the match up against swords dance kartana and mega Pinsir.
