[Kin+ak (✧∇✧)]

Cinderace @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Libero
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- U-turn
- Pyro Ball
- High Jump Kick
- Will-O-Wisp

This bro here can one shot both With pyro ball, but HJK on serp to lure a tera rock anyways. Am I doing this At 4 Am? Yep. Is it possible that I wake up and see that and think: wow this Is totally trash? Absolutely

 

[GoldenCyber]

Gouging Fire @ Heavy-Duty Boots
Ability: Protosynthesis
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Tera Type: Flying
Adamant Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Heat Crash
- Earthquake
- Morning Sun

This set is pretty self-explanatory. Gouging Fire has the natural bulk to take any hit Mega Scizor throws at it (Sand Tomb doesn't even 2HKO it) and revenge kill or heal back up. It can also handle Serp since it can survive +2 Leaf Storm into +2 HP Ground from full. If needed, it can also use Tera to deal with Ground coverage.

Calcs-
252 SpA Life Orb Tera Electric Iron Valiant Thunderbolt vs. 248 HP / 76 SpD Corviknight: 377-447 (94.4 - 112%) -- 68.8% chance to OHKO
