Pokemon VGC Teams/Reports/Strategy

New Beginnings and an Introduction to AusTerrain

 

Hey guys,

This blog is going to be where a few Australian players keep a record of the teams we’ve used throughout the season. Our goal is to help ourselves, and anyone interested, by keeping a record of what we’ve achieved over the course of the VGC 15-16 season.

 

Australian Terrain is a concept that revolves around setting up Grassy Terrain with Serperior, and using Secret Power Mega-Kangaskhan. In Grassy Terrain, Secret Power has a 30% chance to put an opponent to sleep, which with Parental Bond, becomes 51%. The idea came about in a skype call with Zyihk, Dawg, Yourf and Sarkastik, where we were talking about how overpowered freeze is, and were messing around with trying to exploit it. Unfortunately, Hail doesn't give Secret Power a chance to freeze because it doesn’t change ‘Terrain’, but after some strenuous research and testing (looking at a Bulbapedia page), we found out that Grassy Terrain does, and came up with a team around it.

 

The focus is around Kangaskhan putting things to sleep while Serperior does what only it can do, i.e, demolish teams with Contrary Leaf Storm.

  • +6 252 SpA Serperior Leaf Storm vs. 252 HP / 4 SpD Amoonguss in Grassy Terrain: 275-324 (124.4 - 146.6%) -- guaranteed OHKO (Metronome at 2x)

That being said, we hope you enjoy the content we produce here at AusTerrain.
