    Even more stall! It's nice to show that in a metagame with all of these powerful threats around, stall is still very much present and full of variety. This one is pretty simply based around hazard control: Lando-T is a rocks setter that does a number to Mega Sableye, Arceus-Poison is maybe the most reliable defogger in the tier, thanks to its immunity to Toxic, and Ferrothorn provides Spikes support. It is EV'd to outspeed Mega Sableye, which usually doesn't run any speed EVs and has the same base speed. Since this team has Arceus-Poison and Lugia, running Power Whip is preferred to Gyro Ball as the attack since it does much more to Mega Sableye (actually does min. 30% vs the standard set!), as well as hitting Arceus-Electric neutrally. Also, having Ferrothorn, Lugia, and Yveltal means that Lando-T has a lot of back-up, allowing me to run a more aggressive spread with a shorter life-span, since the Pokemon it checks - such as Zekrom, Ekiller, and Mega Blaziken - are deecently well covered by its partners. Stalltwo is one of the team's bigger weaknesses, but you have the tools to play around it: Lando-T is your main one, which can try and land Toxic on it, since it's likely to wisp initially since Earth Plate-boosted Earthquake 2HKOs fairly comfortably. Also, Palkia can phaze it around at least.

    The idea behind this is pretty simple. SpecsOgre is a nuke, TTar provides pursuit support against the lati twins which are amongst its better answers. TTar can also get up rocks vs sab fairly nicely, and also anti-leads stuff like deo-a and deo-s well, and checks Ho-Oh alongside ogre. ScarfSect can u-turn into specsogre which is pretty swanky. Ferro provides spikes and a secondary anti-kyogre measure alongside latios. Anyway it's a pretty swanky lil team, should be played pretty aggressively because a lot of stuff on it can die pretty quickly but do heavy damage in the meantime. Note that Surf and CM are both slashed on Latios. Surf is an option for a harder hit on Ho-Oh, but CM + Draco makes things drop so... your choice. Defog isn't worth it here since the team doesn't have that much staying power anyway whilst having its own spikes it would rather not clear.
