Rental Code TGHWJR

This is a team that requires good prediction and decision-making to pilot well.

A standard Chien-Pao Build improves the damage potential of all of the physical attackers on the team, with Chien-Pao included.

Chien-Pao is a great Pokemon to have in the back, switching in to boost a teammate's physical attack, or late-game to clear out low-HP Pokemon.

When using Chien-Pao, it is important to be careful of when you use Ice Spinner, as it may remove Grimmsnarl's Misty Terrain.

Held Item Leftovers
Moveset ・ Body Press

・ Shelter
・ Life Dew

Hisuian Goodra is very difficult to KO for teams that have run out of ways to damage it for super-effective. This build makes use of Sap Sipper instead of Shell Armor, as it does not particularly mind Surging Strikes when in Tera Water. Tera Water and Sap Sipper also limits Hisuian Goodra's weaknesses to just one, being Electric.

Shelter has natural synergy with Body Press, improving its damage output the higher Hisuian Goodra's Defense goes. Heavy Slam can take out Fairy-types like Flutter Mane.

Life Dew gives Hisuian Goodra a reliable means of recovery.

Grimmsnarl and Landorus

 Urshifu Rapid-Strike Style ImageUrshifu Rapid-Strike Style

Grimmsnarl and Landorus can set up for a Hisuian Goodra endgame, with Screens and Intimidate support. Additionally, Landorus and Urshifu's strong offense are strong enough to take out threats to Hisuian Goodra, making way for a checkmate situation later in the game.

Grimmsnarl can help Galarian Moltres survive enough hits to get a Berserk boost thanks to dual screens. Urshifu and Landorus make another appearance in this team composition, as strong offensive teammates that complement Galarian Moltres's offense.

When to Terastallize

Boost STAB Moves

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Ground Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Flying Icon
Tera Type: Pokemon Flying Type Icon

Urshifu and Landorus can both Terastallize offensively to give their STAB moves an extra boost. Both of these Pokemon are strong offensive Tera options in a match.

Terastallize Defensively

Tera Type: Pokemon Water Type Icon 		Galarian Moltres ImageGalarian Moltres
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Dark Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Flying Icon
Tera Type: Pokemon Poison Type Icon

Because the team is more geared towards defense, four of the six Pokemon in this team have defensive Tera Types.

Chien-Pao's Ghost Tera can protect it from Fake Out and Extreme Speed. Grimmsnarl's Steel Tera protects it from Fairy and Poison-type damage. Hisuian Goodra limits its weaknesses to just one: Electric. And Galarian Moltres gains a resistance to Fairy with its Poison Tera.

Beware of Hyper Offense

Swift Swim

Hyper Offense may give this defensive team a tough time, as the matchup demands good decision-making and prediction.

It is also difficult to outspeed Swift Swim Pokemon in Rain and withstand their offense.
