Final #592 (R 2326)by デデカスf

Team Concept

A familiar pure stall loop team. To counter the new Mega Mawile, which is difficult to wall due to its wide offensive power and move pool, I started building around Mega Meganium, which has Mega Solar Synthesis recovery and a guaranteed one-hit KO with Weather Ball. After completing the core with a general physical wall Slowbro and a general special wall and draw-prevention Snorlax, I added Toxapex with Haze to deal with Mimikyu, Ceruledge, and physical Aegislash holding Punching Glove-like items, which these three couldn't wall. Finally, I added a Scarf Hisuian Samurott to outspeed and deal with Delphox, Gengar, and Gholdengo, and inflict cumulative damage to the backline, patching up the stall's weaknesses.

Key Pokémon Points

Toxapex (Opal Berry, HB): Traps opponents with Infestation + Toxic, and resets stat boosts with Haze. While Mimikyu with Swords Dance has become difficult to wall since the introduction of Punching Glove-like items, Toxapex is still strong in a direct confrontation.

Mega Meganium (Meganiumite, Mega Solar): After Mega Evolution, its actual stats are 187-100-170-163-135-114. It's a dedicated counter that endures Mega Mawile's Play Rough with Synthesis recovery, withstands Swords Dance-boosted Fire Fang, and then retaliates with Weather Ball. It was also strong against Taunt Gyarados, Hisuian Samurott, and Corviknight.

Slowbro (Slowbronite, Shell Armor): After Mega Evolution, its actual stats are 201-85-255-152-101-50. It's a versatile wall that can take most physical Mega attacks, using Scald to aim for burns and a Body Press + Iron Defense combination.

Snorlax (Leftovers): A versatile special wall with Earthquake and Float-like moves, also serving as draw prevention. Against high-power special attackers like Hydreigon and Mega Dragonite, it had limited HP, so it was operated in conjunction with Toxapex's Toxic.

Hisuian Samurott (Choice Scarf)
