This is a slightly untraditional take on the classic Tapu Lele sand structure featuring the psyspam core of Tapu Lele and Alakazam, running scarf for speed control, and a three attack nasty plot set, which is extremely threatening under psychic terrain. Buzzswole is an excellent addition to the psyspam core as a physical blanket check and is, itself, a good abuser of scarf Lele’s future sight.
standard Rotom Wash, Excadrill, and specially defensive Tyranitar round out the team, providing pivot support, speed control under sand, and a very sturdy ghost resist.

scarfire won! congratulations. i'll put the next mon up & update the OP monday
things happened oops - will update OP right after I write this post

The next mon for this project will be Nidoking
:ss/nidoking:
This mon is a terrifying offensive presence and has a useful defensive profile, but is often still difficult to get into play. Interested to see what people do with this!

deadline will be the 8th of February

Idea with this team is to pair Nidoking with Pokemon that can either beat down or wear down its checks. Rillaboom beats the bulky water types that wall Nidoking while Weavile chases out Blissey/Chansey. Milotic poisons one of Nidoking's biggest roadblocks in Gastrodon, Zapdos is a defogger that hits hard with this spread and they both form a volt-turn core that brings Nidoking in safely. Heatran provides a solid Lele/Volcarona check while being one of the best stealth rock setters in the metagame. Dragapult counterplay is weird, but Milotic and Heatran are bulky enough to take hits from it depending on the matchup while Weavile can come in on a shadow ball in a pinch. Play proactively against Suicune as it can snowball very quickly if it manages to set up.

This is a very basic Nidoking balance with the pivot core of standard Torn-T and toxic Slowbro to safely bring in Nidoking. Future sight support is strongly appreciated on this team for stallbreaking and easing the need for prediction. Air balloon Heatran and Urshifu seek to exploit and break the grounds that Zeraora forces in, allowing Zera in turn to clean late game.
