- Acrobatics
- Swords Dance
- Drain Punch

Terrakion @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Stone Edge
- Close Combat
- Iron Head
- Earthquake

Keldeo @ Choice Specs
Ability: Justified
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Secret Sword

- Icy Wind

Breloom @ Focus Sash
Ability: Technician

- Spore

Cobalion @ Leftovers
Ability: Justified
EVs: 72 Def / 184 SpA / 252 Spe
Naive Nature
- Stealth Rock

- Close Combat

Threatlist: Latios/as, Landorus-I, Sash Alakazam, etc...
Latios/as can take any 1 attack from this team for the exception of Heracross but that is if the Lati's are Scarfed because Mega Heracross can take any 1 Psyshock except a crit.

Landorus-I with rocks can one shot all the members but loses to Keldeo. They always switch when they see Keldeo.

Alakazam w/ Sash. It can clean up late game once my sash on Loom is broken, and the rest can be one shot. The only way to beat it is to tail wind up somehow and use Mega Heracross or flinch with Scarf Iron Head.

Those are just a few threats.

Keldeo, Terrakion, Breloom, and Cobalion are regularly used on fighting monotype. Keep in mind this was a Core Challenge team for why I used Heracross and Hawlucha.
Hawlucha can help Heracross sweep many types and make the type more accessible Like making Psychic monotype teams 5 v 3 (if Hawlucha is the one who fainted and Hera came in on turn 2 and used all the Tailwind turns). Breloom and Heracross help a lot vs water and ground teams. Heracross and Terrakion help vs flying. Terrakion and Keldeo for Fairy. Etc.. etc.. etc... This is just a brief description. Enjoy!

Jolly Nature
- Swords Dance
- Knock Off

- Psycho Cut

Alakazam @ Focus Sash
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 4 Def / 252 SpA / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Psychic
- Focus Blast
- Shadow Ball
- Hidden Power [Ice]

Victini @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Victory Star
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Adamant Nature
- V-create
- Bolt Strike
- Zen Headbutt
- U-turn

Deoxys-Defense @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Taunt
- Toxic
- Stealth Rock
- Seismic Toss

Metagross @ Assault Vest
Ability: Clear Body
EVs: 160 HP / 252 Atk / 96 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Pursuit

- Earthquake

Hoopa-Unbound @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Magician
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Serious Nature
- Hyperspace Fury
- Gunk Shot
- Ice Punch
- Psychic

Gallade and Hoopa are the main sweepers in my team. I usually send them out at the beginning of the match and try and deal as much damage they can do without dying. When they both have less HP, I tend to switch out to Deoxys, and start setting up stealth rocks as well as stalling with toxic and so on. Then I go back to Hoopa-U / Gallade. When they faint, I go to Alakazam and Metagross. Alakazam helps me against Ghost Types that can potentially sweep my entire team, and Metagross helps against Pokemon like Sylveon. It has Earthquake to deal damage against Fire Types. Finally, Victini is my quick sweeper who can help against Flying Types that will try and KO Gallade-Mega.

Threats.. Gengar-Mega, Fire Types, Staraptor and other bulky Flying types, etc.

Hi Ticken, a few changes I think you could possibly make--

Specially offensive Cobalion is NOT to be used on fighting as it lags the type, has nothing for ground and is sack bait with rocks. Also, it seems you could use a psy mega (your team is extremely weak to poison):

Major changes:

1. More offensive oriented:

Cobalion > Gallade with Close Combat and possibly Adamant nature. If you like memes you could use Memento for a easy switchin to Hawlucha after a kill.
Heracross > Life Orb / Flame Orb and regular STAB. Heracross/Gallade makes a nice core with the wallbreaking power.

2. More balance oriented:

Cobalion > Defensive with rocks, twave, iron head / filler. Can be 252 HP / 12 Atk / 32 Def / 4 SpD / 208 Spe Jolly or 252 HP / 224 Def / 32 SpD with Impish.

Minor changes:

1. Your team doesn't really need Drain Punch or SD Haw so you can try U-Turn + Taunt/Encore or SD + BPass. Trust me, I've tried building this before!

2. Adamant Breloom and SD is important if you want to keep your Tailwind/offensive pressure up after Tailwind dies.

Thanks for the advice Chrono but as you re look at my RMT, I stated that that team was a Core challenge team with the duo of Hawlucha and Mega Heracross. For this reason, I was not allowed to use say Mega Gallade like you suggested. As well as the non mega Heracross.

When you offered some new spreads for Cobalion, you did not mention what the speed is for to out speed, why the specific 12 EV's, etc.. I like the specially invested Cobalion because my team only has 1 other special attacker in Keldeo and gives me more options on how I want to play Cobalion not to mention it might surprise someone. I've tried the regular Defensive Cobalion a long time ago and it didn't really work out as well. Maybe you can try and convince me otherwise?

Suggested minor changes:
I agree on your changes to Hawlucha. I have to admit, the SD and Drain punch were from when the Hawlucha set was Sub + Sitrus because this was my first time trying out the Tailwind set. I'll test more with the set and see what I like.

This set is not going to be followed through because the Tailwind i primarily for Heracross because it is semi slow and has no forms of priority unlike Breloom does. There have been cases where I let a Volcarona set up more than I should have allowed it so the Sash Rock Tomb came in really handy so that the team did not get swept. The only real thing SD loom can do to take advantage of the Tailwind is Spore and Bullet Seed while Mega Heracross can use all 3 Tailwind turns to kill 3 pokemon if played right.

replay.pokemonshowdown.com/monotype-306244156 - Tailwind + Mega Heracross vs Fire (one of my few good replays of Tailwind)

In conclusion, the only advice I am going to use in the future for the team possibly is the Hawlucha set but I still thank you for taking your time to look at the team and provide feedback!

Well theace22, I'd make your Gallade Careful instead of Jolly. I can't think of anything relevant that a jolly no-speed gallade outspeeds. My only other suggestion that I might be able to make is swapping Terrakion's Iron Head out with X-Scissor to hit Hoopa harder. On the other hand, Iron Head hits Mega Gardevoir harder. I think you should be fairly concerned about Mega Gardevoir though, seeing as it renders your walls useless.

Do you mean "Red Card" on Hawlucha?

Also to any new RMT'ers, please create a new thread to showcase them in just to fluff up this board a bit.

Hey everyone! So this wasn't included in the original forums post with the rules but all RMT's should have their own thread in the monotype forum, not in this

. Everyone who posted an RMT please move yours to the your own thread(including me) and make sure u have 2-3 lines of description. Ty ^_^
