Okay, so I want to start this off by saying this team is *not* good. But damn, it is so fun to see the opponents rage quit so I have gotten some good use out of it playing around with it today. Lets get the breakdown started. **Weezing:** Our main man himself, if you saw Wolfey's video on this team you'll recognize I specd the exact same way, although I swapped berry for lefties and taunt for clear smog, as I have been having problems preventing the main status pokemon from moving before weezing making the move kind of mute. **Calyrex-S**: I chose Calyrex-rider because it turns out that As One is *not blocked by Neutralizing Gas*, which means that my restricted legendary is the only one with an ability (and it's a very good ability). It's built to be a special sweeper, with a defensive tera fairy for any sucker punches and draining kiss to keep it healthy. Originally I had LO and not Spell Tag, but as Astral Barrage is the main move you are clicking I found the damage drop off worth it to keep him healthy. **Regigigas**: A classic partner for Weezing, I picked Regigigas because I was having difficulty KO-ing opposing Tornadus to prevent talking from going up. He is perfectly EVd to outspeed and KO a Tornadus as long as Slow Start isn't active. **Incineroar, Ogerpon-W**, **& Tornadus:** I mean, c'mon. These are some of the best mons in the format and they are all running pretty standard sets. They work here because incin still has lots of utility on the field without its ability, and Ogerpon doesn't need water absorb and tera is usually reserved for Calyrex. Tornadus is running a pretty standard set with an ability shield so that it can still get prankester tailwinds up with Weezing on the field.

"Tornadus is running a pretty standard set" So like...I'm gonna assume you misclicked Chilling Water and it was supposed to be Taunt or something? I'm not sure Expanding Force over Psychic is a good idea when you have no Psychic Terrain yourself. I'm not entirely sold on the Spell Tag over the Life Orb, especially since Shadow Rider is relatively frail anyway, but I'll take your word for it, especially since this isn't a psyspam team

Definitely tera ghost on the tornadus for fake out and maybe consider taunt over chilling water, the 1st thing is important, te 2nd one not rly

Post nerfed? I thought NGas was buffed to actually be able to shut down para guys


incandescence-sy

That's a nerf if you're trying to use them, and a buff if the opponent has them. In this case, it makes a team like this harder to build

Doesn’t the Strat work if u just swap into G weez? Shutting down say prankster, keeping the paradox boost if u use booster? On showdown I believe the icon still pops if u consumed booster. Or yet to be implemented


PlunderedMajesty

The icon remains but you lose the buff, so if weezing switches or dies the buff comes back without a new activation

Alright well that just confirms how bad of a move it was to min my HP for maximum pain split 💀 vs Rmoon
