An LC RMT (Peaked no.53 with this team)
Hello guys. I am here to make an RMT of an LC team, a tier which doesn't get the recognition it so rightfully deserves. So without further ado, lets go straight to it. (Dont mind the occasional grammar and spelling mistakes )
Dwebble, one of the best leads in the meta. With the combination of sturdy and berry juice, it almost alwayssets up 2 layers of hazards gives me an early lead in the game. Yeah you read it right. Although dwebble was initially on my team with the sole purpose of hazard setting, it showed its prowess in getting a ko or two early in the game eventually. Thus now I mostly find myself clicking knock off rather than stealth rock.
With Choice scarf, 240 speed EVs and hasty. it out speeds every shell smashers in the meta, along with occasional +2 speed scrafties, while killing them in return with either brave bird (for fighting types) and boomburst. Hidden power fighting ohkoes pawniard, unless pawn uses sucker punch.
The single most perfect mon in the meta, mienfoo has everything. From a admirable 85 base attack to a decent 50 in both its defense. Its also the only pokemon to have the combination of regenarator+U-turn, which when paired with drain punch, gives it a reliable source of recovery. Between poison jab and U-turn, i personally prefer the former because it ohkoes one of mienfoo's biggest threats, Cottonee. U-turn was initially in the place of poison jab, but too many defeats at the hands of cottonee forced me to go for the jab.
Now if you are wondering why weak armor, I can explain. It was initially a mistake in selecting the ability, but some inventions are made from mistake right? I also found out that weak armor vullaby had that strange ability to switch in on a predicted fake out, get the speed boost and revenge kill with air slash. It also has a strange potential of haxing with the combo of slash/pulse. Oh and i forgot to mention vullaby's main task, its a defogger to let tirtouga switch in safely without breaking its sturdy.
Magnemite is an awesome special sweeper, hitting a sp.atk of 20 with the given evs and nature. It is a threat to every steel types out there (except pawn) with the combo of magnet pull and hp fire. With flash cannon, it helps mienfoo by killing them fairies. Magnet rise helps it to stand its ground against drilbur, without fearing EQ.
Tirtouga is THE best shell smash sweeper imo. with the combination of sturdy and berry juice, it almost always sets up and gets ready to sweep. My whole team is centered around tirtouga in fact. Once all the potential threats are cleared from the field, Tirtouga is unstoppable.

- Threats:
- Mienfoo resists both its attacks and can 3hko in return with the combination of fake out and drain punch, or 2hko with fake out and HJK. Pawniard also resists both its attacks and (if sturdy is broken) ohkos with iron head.

- Threats:
- I honestly don't think taillow has any threats to worry about, except sucker punching pawns, which always kills it, thanks to a pathetic base defense of 30. It doesnt need to worry about ghosts switching in to boomburst too, thanks to its hidden ability scrappy.

- Threats:
- Fletchling is a big enough threat to mienfoo with priority acrobatics. Misdreavus, gastly and abra can all ohko foo with dazzling gleam/psychic, if they can safely switch in to foo that is.

Tirtouga is THE best shell smash sweeper imo. with the combination of sturdy and berry juice, it almost always sets up and gets ready to sweep. My whole team is centered around tirtouga in fact. Once all the potential threats are cleared from the field, Tirtouga is unstoppable.
- Threats:
- Mienfoo easily takes a +2 waterfall and drain punches to kill tirtouga (unless mienfoo flinches or its a crit). Chloro sweepers like bellsprout can outspeed tirtouga and then kill it back with solarbeam.

Re: An LC RMT (Peaked no.53 with this team)
Hi.Nice LC team you got there and congratulations on your peak.
I also have some suggestions for the team:
Overcoat>Weak Armor.Overcoat helps with spore immunity.Weak armor might help in beating some fighting types on rare occasions,but with it valluby also loses the ability to wall physical threats.Also you need HP before defenses in it.
Magnet rise on magnemite ? I think thunderbolt is better as it has more BP+doesn't force you to switch.
Add Stone edge over EQ in Tirtouga.Has much higher bp and EQ doesn't kill max HP ferroseed.

Thnx for the suggestion, but to kill ferro, i already got the magnet pull magnemite. I preferred EQ over Stone edge because of its potential to kill magnemite and also the higher accuracy helps. Oh and it helps in sun too
Overcoat>Weak Armor.
In fact it was supposed to be overcoat before i clicked weak armor by mistake. Yes it does give me the edge against foongus and bellsprouts, but still i liked the haxing offered by the weak armor set. But i will give overcoat a try too, to see how my team gets benefit from it
