Pokémon/Set: Shuca Berry + Shift Gear Magearna
Metagame: Smogon OU
Description: I was building a team someday and realized that the team I was building was heavily annoyed by Zygarde and other Ground types, but the overall synergy was decent and I wasn't able to replace anything without making myself weaker to something else, so I opted to use the usual Shift Gear set Magearna runs, but I replaced the Fightium Z by a Shuca Berry and it actually is pretty decent since you can Shift Gear up on stuff like Choice Band Zygarde and then get a clean KO with Ice Beam and then proceed to snowball to either sweep or heavily dent the opposing team. While not running a STAB move may seem like a bad idea, Magearna actually needs the most coverage possible to sweep, Ice Beam hitting the mentioned Ground types, Thunderbolt hitting Celesteela hard, and Focus Blast getting past troublesome Steel types such as Heatran, Ferrothorn and Magnezone. Don't have any replays as I haven't played Pokémon in a while for a bunch of different reasons. Hope you guys enjoyed this, will probably post again soon here.
