Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
RU CCAT 4 [Stage 3]
- Thread starter Jellicent
- Start date
Golurk
Let's do Metang since he has some potential.
I'm sure you already know this, but there are people coming to troll you from one of PS's server. I'm glad if I could help. Also, I vote for Golurk because I'm not a dick like them.
Golurk
We have our winner~
Golurk @ Life Orb
Trait: Iron Fist
EVs: 252 Atk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Adamant Nature
- Earthquake
- Gravity
- Drain Punch
- Fire Punch
Now that we have an underrated threat to build around, we can begin working on a core of Pokemon that can support and function well with it ^.^

Cresselia (F) @ Leftovers
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SAtk / 252 Def
Bold Nature
- Gravity
- Psychic
- Thunder Wave
- Moonlight
No RU Team gets worse with a Cresselia. And, since one Gravity user commonly isn't enough, slap gravity on this for a backup.
Rotom-Frost @ Choice Scarf
Trait: Levitate
EVs: 252 SAtk / 252 Spd / 4 SDef
Timid Nature
- Blizzard
- Thunder
- Trick
- Volt Switch
As a Gravity Sweeper, this Rotom fares relatively well. Blizzard and Thunder's low accuracies are circumvented by Gravity, and opposing walls standing in your path can be simply dumped a scarf. It can also use Volt Switch for scouting.
Durant @ Choice Band
Trait: Hustle
EVs: 252 Spd / 252 Atk / 4 HP
Jolly Nature
- X-Scissor
- Iron Head
- Superpower
- Rock Slide
Another Gravity Sweeper, and a Choice Banded one, at that. The power behind a CB STAB X-Scissor with perfect accuracy is simply outrageous, alongside three other coverage moves. It is also fast enough, even without a scarf, to outspeed most threats.
^ I would recommend the use of Thunder Wave over Toxic were we to use Cress, as paralysis would generally support the slower Golurk more than Toxic would, and giving Drapion a 100% safe switch when our team thus far is a Ghost and a Psychic is never a good idea.
When I think of a good partner I'll come back to this, but atm nothing's coming readily to mind :x
