I might as well show it off, can't hurt now, right?

My team was comprised of mostly Pokemon I either really liked or ones I have never used competitively before and just wanted to try out. I used the Lycanrock/Volcarona core since they were two pokes I'd never trained competitively and threw together some mons I really liked for a hyper-offensive team with Tailwind and Fake Out support to help with setups. I won't go into detail on the sets because they're pretty self-explanatory.

@ScottyThunder

Interesting team, Scotty.

I see you incorporated the core I suggested to you. Sorry I couldn't see how well it worked. I'm curious as to why your Krookodile has a Fightinium Z. In a metagame populated by Ghost-Types, I would've thought you'd go with a Darkium Z.

Also, why an Alolan Raticate? Such a novel choice.

It was something I went back and forth on for awhile for a few reasons, one of which I forgot to include in the copy paste of the team off of PS, which I will get into shortly. With this tourney being so highly populated by ghost types, I would expect a large amount of dark types as well. With Krookodile being the Pokemon I planned on leading with next to Murkrow whenever possible, I wanted him to have coverage on Dark types. Since I couldn't tutor Superpower onto Krookodile, I had to settle for Focus Blast, which, as I'm sure you're aware, doesn't have the best hit rate. So, I decided the best fix for that would be to give him a Z crystal for it since it would turn it into a 100% hit rate on a base 190 All Out Pummeling

I struggled to find a sixth Pokemon for a while, since I didn't really like a lot of the other Pokes available. I looked through the comments on the sets and cores thread for the tourney for some inspiration and noticed @Kris mention a Hustle Choice Band Alolan Raticate. I laughed at it at first, but then I did some research on it, and discovered how rediculous Hustle on Raticate really is. Adamant/252 Atk/31 IVs puts his base attack stat at 135. Hustle gives a 50% boost to attack, so now it sits well over 200. Swords Dance gives 100% boost to attack, now we're talking INSANELY high damage, and with priority in Sucker Punch and guaranteed SD with a Focus Sash, I couldn't NOT put him on my team! He'd OHKO 90% of the meta! Now, this was all hypothetical of course considering I never got to use the team, but it was super fun to breed and train the guys, and I'll surely try my best to be in the next PF tourney

@ScottyThunder i believe Kris and Spyro were the ones to mention Alolan Raticate, but I'm flattered by the tag Wink
