Team Summary and Rental Code

Rental Code SJB728

This team makes use of multiple bulky attackers to tank hits while still being able to deal big damage in return. Prioritize on getting favourable matchups in a battle by switching in Pokemon that resist your opponent's attacks.

Team Movesets & Best Builds

Assault Vest Okidogi Moveset & Best Build

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Okidogi Image

Nature Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread HP 252 / Atk 252 / Sp. Def 4
Final Stat Values HP 195 / Atk 198 / Def 135 / Sp. Def 107 / Spe 100
Ability Toxic Chain
Tera Type Pokemon Fairy Type Icon
Held Item Assault Vest
Moveset Poison Jab
Stomping Tantrum
Knock Off
Drain Punch

Okidogi already has naturally good defensive stats, which combined with an Assault Vest, makes it a difficult Pokemon to remove from battle.

The reason Toxic Chain is used over Guard Dog is the extra chance to Poison the opponent when using more utility focused moves like Knock Off and Drain Punch.

Sitrus Berry Scizor Moveset & Best Build

Nature Adamant (+Atk, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread HP 252 / Atk 28 / Def 204 / Sp. Def 20 / Spe 4

Ability Technician
Tera Type Pokemon Steel Type Icon
Held Item Sitrus Berry
Moveset Dual Wingbeat
U-turn
Bullet Punch
Swords Dance

Scizor is built to be bulkier than normal in order to survive hits better while setting up a Swords Dance boost and to maximize the healing from its Sitrus Berry.

Its STAB +1 priority Bullet Punch, which can be further boosted by Terastallizing to Steel, and its Technician-boosted Dual Wingbeat make it a great threat to a lot of the common Pokemon in the Singles metagame.

Leftovers Heatran Moveset & Best Build

Nature Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
EV Spread HP 252 / 4 Def / 252 Sp. Atk
Final Stat Values HP 198 / Def 127 / Sp. Atk 200 / Sp. Def 126 / Spe 97
Ability Flash Fire
Tera Type Pokemon Fairy Type Icon
Held Item Leftovers
Moveset Flash Cannon
Earth Power
Magma Storm
Tera Blast

Heatran is already a naturally bulky Pokemon thanks to its stats and typing, so we gave it the Leftovers item and maxed out its HP to give it as much passive healing as possible.

Magma Storm is an amazing move that damages the target for a percentage of its total health each turn as well as trapping them, making them unable to switch out. This heavily punishes any Pokemon that has a bad match-up into Heatran.

Choice Scarf Rotom Wash Moveset & Best Build

Nature Modest (+Sp. Atk, -Atk)
EV Spread HP 220 / Sp. Atk 36 / Spe 252

Ability Levitate
Tera Type Pokemon Steel Type Icon
Held Item Choice Scarf
Moveset Hydro Pump
Trick
Volt Switch
Thunderbolt

Rotom Wash has incredible bulk thanks to its base stats and typing. Because of its ability Levitate, its only weakness is to Grass-type attacks.

Its bulk is further increased when it Terastallizes into Steel. While it is a Steel-type, it gains a lot of resistances with its only weaknesses now being Fighting and Fire.

Rocky Helmet Dragonite Moveset & Best Build

Ability Multiscale
Tera Type Pokemon Normal Type Icon
Held Item Rocky Helmet
Moveset Roost
Encore
Extreme Speed
Earthquake

Dragonite can pressure knock outs with Earthquake and Tera Normal Extreme Speed, especially after chip damage from Rocky Helmet.

It can also use support moves like Encore against hazard setters and setup Pokemon to make them useless. Roost can be used to restore Dragonite's health and reactivate Multiscale.

Cornerstone Ogerpon Moveset & Best Build

Nature Jolly (+Spe, -Sp. Atk)
EV Spread Atk 252 / Sp. Def 4 / Spe 252
Final Stat Values HP 155 / Atk 172 / Def 104 / Sp. Def 117 / Spe 178
Ability Sturdy
Tera Type Pokemon Rock Type Icon
Held Item Cornerstone Mask
Moveset Ivy Cudgel
Horn Leech
U-turn
Lash Out

Cornerstone Ogerpon is the only Ogerpon form that can easily deal with opposing Flying-types such as Dragonite. It can also deal super-effective damage to the more common Hearthflame Ogerpon.

It is difficult to quickly knock out thanks to its ability Sturdy. Upon Terastallization, Ogerpon's Embody Aspect ability gives it a Defense boost, adding to its bulk.

It has the move Lash Out to catch any Intimidate users off-guard. If you predict a Gyarados to switch in, for example, then you can get an easy surprise knockout.

Team Strategies and Synergies

Consistent Team Core for Most Battles

Okidogi ImageOkidogi
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Poison Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fighting Icon
Ogerpon (Cornerstone Mask) ImageOgerpon (Cornerstone Mask)
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Grass Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Rock Icon

The two new Pokemon from the Teal Mask DLC are the highlights of this team and perform consistently well against other teams. You may be inclined to bring both of them to most games.

Both are bulky Pokemon that can also deal significant damage. They have a wide array of coverage moves between the two of them that can cover most match-ups. They also synergize well defensively, with them having no common weakness.

Bring Additional Type Coverage

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Fire Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Steel Icon
Wash Rotom ImageWash Rotom
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Electric Icon Pokemon Scarlet and Violet SV - Water Icon

In addition to Okidogi and Ogerpon, you may want to bring one of these Pokemon to round out your team of three.

Heatran provides additional Fire and Steel-type moves and an immunity to opposing Fire-type moves. Rotom Wash provides valuable Water and Electric-type move coverage and an immunity to Ground-type moves.

Choose whichever Pokemon has a better type match-up against your opponent's team.

Bring Strong Priority Moves for Fast Opponents

If you're having a difficult time choosing the right Pokemon for a type advantage or are worried about incredibly fast Pokemon from your opponent, Dragonite and Scizor may be more ideal picks.

Dragonite is very bulky and can switch into most attacks. With Extreme Speed, it can also deal a lot of damage while moving first, especially when it is Terastallized.

Scizor is good to use against fast Flutter Mane because of its priority Bullet Punch. It can also set up a Swords Dance to further boost the power of its Physical Attacks, strenghtening its priority move.
