Was a pretty bad ladder experience for me and I choked a lot of matches early on, though I still made it through. I feel like sharing the teams I used because they are pretty metagame specific and if Quag gets banned they'll lose their shine.
I played with a lot of teams because I get bored really easily, although most of them I had been tampering with for a while, so this kind of serves as my team dump for the month actually.

- Stone Edge

A simple offense team that I used a lot earlier on my ladder run. It features Tspikes Roselia to wear down offense, and SD Monferno as my win condition. Pursuit Floatzel is a good revenge killer and also takes care of pokemon like Grumpig and Mime that could threaten Monferno, and Rotom-F is a secondary revenge killer that prevents me from being swept. Grumpig with three attacks and Taunt checks a myriad of attackers and also helps me a little against defensive teams (with Tspikes support to wear down Audino before Muk removes Tspikes). Lastly Golem with a chople berry provides role compression as a Monferno check, electric check, and normal check. Overall I really like this team but it's not all that powerful so I did have a decent amount of losses to stall. It can beat stall but you have to play very well with Trick Rotom and Taunt Pig.

Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Nasty Plot
- Signal Beam
- Psychic

Not exactly an original team choice in this meta, (shoutouts Teddeh and HJAD), but it's really solid at breaking down both offensive and defensive teams and I wanted to create my own personal version of it. Nasty Plot Beheeyem is just nasty at breaking down slower cores, and here has Signal Beam to lure Cacturne and Grumpig. Quagsire+Clef forms a fantastic defensive buffer for Beheeyem. Quag takes on Pawniard and a lot of physical attackers that would boost through the team, while SpD Clefairy wins vs almost every special attacker and also provides Beheeyem with offensive support. Mawile was added to give a normal type check, Stealth Rock, and something that can revenge kill Leafeon (Foul Play so I can always take care of SD Leaf). Swanna was added as a Defogger because I wanted some offensive presence as I was more than good defensively, and Scarf Leafeon is a quality revenge killer as always. Overall, probably my most successful team- I don't even remember losing with it. But me being me, I got bored of it pretty quick and wanted to try out some other stuff...

Not much to say here. This is a pretty disgusting team. While it may not be overall as good as Dundies' stall team, it's probably even more annoying to face because of the spikestack. The strategy is simple- keep wearing down the opponent's hazard removal until they are dead, and then just phaze everything around with Dragon Tail Meganium, Roar Avalugg, and Whirlwind Grumpig. A gimmick maybe, but quite a successful one.


Trapinch + NP Simisage balance

Simisage @ Life Orb
Ability: Overgrow
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 30 Def

Rapidash @ Leftovers
Ability: Flame Body
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Flare Blitz
- Wild Charge
- Morning Sun
- Will-O-Wisp

An interesting team, although it wasn't that successful. Still thought it would be nice to share it since it is built around an underrated concept. Nasty Plot Simisage is hard countered by Muk, and Trapinch is able to trap Muk. Conveniently Trapinch is also able to trap Steel Types sans Bronzor, so I added a Muk of my own to complete the core. Pelipper's use is not only to Defog hazards, it can also lure Bronzor with Knock Off and make it significantly easier for Simisage to take down at +2. Rapidash absorbs Wisp and is a neat revenge killer and Bronzor is broken.

My absolute favorite team to use lately, which I've gotten countless wins with. It's a balance based around SD Kingler, which absolutely destroys slower teams with its massive attack stat and coverage. Clefairy and Vullaby provide a defensive backbone for Kingler and sets rocks and defogs respectively. Choice Band Golem adds insult to the injury for stall and carries the trendy Fire Punch to fry Bronzor. Finally, Rotom-Fan gives me some utility in Wisp as well as an offensive check to Monferno, and Scarf Leafeon comes to the rescue as a revenge killer. I'm probably gonna be RMTing this so stay tuned.

Drifblim Offense ft. Double Lure NP Mime

Lumineon @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
- Scald
- Toxic
- Defog
- U-turn

One of the strangest teams on the list for sure, but also surprisingly won me 6 or 7 matches in a row to boost me to reqs. The success in the team lies in Drifblim, which not only can sweep teams lategame with Acrobatics, it also acts as a fantastic utility pokemon. Drifblim can pass massive HP substitutes to its teammates, which barely anything can break. Stoutland + Drifblim form a fantastic core as Stout bludgeons through basically all of Drifblim's counters. We all know what Mawile, Lumi, and Zeb do- rocks, defog, and revenge kill respectively. But the real gem is Nasty Plot + Psyshock + Energy Ball + Shadow Ball Mime. This set not only lures Quagsire, it also lures Bronzor, which means it absolutely destroys many stall builds. This is the main recipient for Drifblim's subs and it really benefits off of the massive HP difference, letting it set multiple boosts at times. Forgoing dazzling gleam does come with some problems, but on this ladder it has been worth it more often than not.
