This is a team for the obscure side meta Inverted Balanced Hackmons that seems to have become more popular than Balanced Hackmons itself recently. So here it is: Regigigas @ Rocky Helmet Trait: Magic Bounce EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd Careful Nature - Extreme Speed - Swords Dance - Rapid Spin - Recover So lets start with good old regigigas... This is the team's magic bouncer to deal with pranksters and help to keep hazards away. It basically functions as E-killer arceus 2.0 with swords dance+exteme speed to sweep and Recover to recover. Rapid spin is for clearing hazards and since it is inverted there are no pesky ghost types blocking it. Also the 64 PP is useful against stall teams where defog might run out. This thing has no huge weaknesses just watch out for heart swap if you're at +6 and dont waste the pp for extreme speed. Rocky helmet is for shedinja mostly. Slaking (M) @ Toxic Orb Trait: Poison Heal EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd Impish Nature - Facade - Fake Out - Shift Gear - Psycho Shift Next up is Slaking aka God. Poison heal gives you rapid passive recovery and makes you immune to status as well as giving it an insane double power stab facade. Fake out is either to make sure you get your poison activated before they status/knockoff which is useful against spore leads or to get chip damage while also getting some HP back. Facade is primary stab move and shift gear is to go for sweeps. An advantage is it is strong against imposters since they arent poisoned so they have half power and no recovery. I chose Slaking over Regi for this role due to its great HP. Phycho shift is to poison what you can't kill such as shedinja or unaware/fur coat walls and also cant be used by imposters. Impish because bulk is your friend :]. Shedinja @ Lum Berry Trait: Sturdy EVs: 252 Atk Brave Nature - Recycle - Endeavor - Extreme Speed - Parting Shot This thing doesn't die. I use it with parting shot as an insane pivot to get slaking in to recover some free HP and chip damage or mewtwo to kill things. Endeavor + Espeed to 2hko everything. Recycle + lum to stop it dying to status. Minimum speed so you are slower with Parting Shot. It also acts as a counter to an impostered version of most of my mons.WARNING: DO NOT SEND OUT ON HAZARDS. Regigigas @ Leftovers Trait: Unaware EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd Careful Nature - Thousand Waves - Leech Seed - Spiky Shield/Will-o-Wisp - Recover This thing is to trap and stall all but the most powerful setup sweepers. Thousand waves traps, leech seed kills. Will-o-wisp for more killing or spiky shield for more stalling. Also kills shedinja and can trap then pp stall imposters to clear the way to sweep. Careful nature becasue there tend to be more special sweepers that are powerful before boosts. Just watch out for boosted pdon or pogre since these pack a punch even with boosts ignored. I used to run poison heal with toxic orb when it had will-o-wisp but then the team was weak to stat boosts but it is pretty effective either way. Regigigas @ Rocky Helmet Trait: Prankster EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd Careful Nature - Defog - Topsy-Turvy - Parting Shot - Extreme Speed I like regigigas. This is for clearing hazards in an emergency so I can win with shedinja (it's usually worth sacrificing this for a defog + 1 hit in order to stop sweeps with shedinja). Topsy-Turvey to deal withstat boosters but blocked by substitute, parting shot to switch with stat lowering or to force out a magic bouncer, espeed to revenge kill and just do some damage. However this has no recovery so dont let it get damaged quickly if it looks like a stall match, use rapid spin regi in stead if possible. Again rocky helmet for our old friend shedinja. Mega Mewtwo Y @ Rocky Helmet Trait: Protean EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Def / 252 SAtk / 252 SDef / 252 Spd Naive Nature - Boomburst - Extreme Speed - King's Shield - Spore This is basically a win-con/sweeper/revenger killer/status spreader. It is by far the hardest hitting thing on the team and 2hkos all but the bulkiest of mons. Boomburst kills things and since it has perfect coverage I gave it priority as well. Spore for sleeping anything too bulky to kill and because of protean it doesn't affect you if it gets bounced back. King shield to lower stats before running away or to scout but watch out because steel is a bad type to be for a turn in inverted. Rocky helmet, you guessed it!, for shedinja. How to use this team: Generally lead with Slaking to break suicide leads' sashes and to get your poison up so it can switch in to absorb status. After scouting a bit send in shedinja whenever safe the pivot to mewtwo if you can get a kill or slaking if you can't. Weaken their team with all your mons, trapping chansey and other walls if possible, then sweep with mewtwo. Remove hazards often and you should be fine and be careful with shedinja. Threats to the team: Primal groudon and Primal kyogre as always are powerful and opposing poison heal slaking can be a problem if they have things to hit shedinja. Status can wear the team down since there is not kleric. P.s. all the mons were nicknamed "fear" in different languages but you'll have to take my word for it. Spoiler Evidence of peak: Spoiler Credit to Anielday for the idea of spore protean mewtwo and anyone else who has suggested things or whose teams have inspired me. I hope you like the team (or hate it and have loads of improvements).
Haven't been into IBH meta in my life, but team looks really well balanced! Also, grats on your first RMT :)
Solid team. I was always wondering how your team looked. Kinda surprised me no Megas. Should be the best team for mono-normal playstyle. This inspired me to build a new team for Inverted Balanced Hackmons.
AYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEE!!! Gratzu on the peak. You achieved bro! #AchievementUnlocked! Now stick to it. Don't hold back. Keep it up.
Rip my eyes out! ( ) Moar hideous formatting than my ex!! Lol, jk. (Mickey still looks cuter than my ex though, js. #Mickeysentmetojail.) Lol, jokes aside. Gratz on your peak. 1800 is an amazing score to hit! Never played the tier but I can say this is a really successful team by the reviews above. I don't play PO that often these days but I feel really glad for you, mate. Keep up the good work ^_^.
Somehow I just see this post today lol. Congrats as u keep the no.1 for a really long time (iirc, as long as my No rule Hack since the last server shutdown one or two months ago)and apparently the lack of competition made u tired of laddering recently lol. On the first three days I entered the IBH tier, u r apparently the only one that didn't lose to me with your great team. Here r some suggestions for ur team: 1. As I observed recently (tbh I haven't played IBH for more than a week lol, but still) the contrary spam with infestation is a problem and some just have great luck to win the speed tie over ur imposter. simply put, there is no switch in into a MM2Y Contrary with infestation, which can 2HKO Unaware Regigigas without any boost 252 SpA Mega Mewtwo Y Psycho Boost vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Arceus-Ice: 196-232 (44.2 - 52.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Stealth Rock 252 SpA Mega Mewtwo Y Psycho Boost vs. 248 HP / 252+ SpD Arceus-Ice: 196-232 (44.2 - 52.3%) -- 18.4% chance to 2HKO Arceus is bulkier than regi, but still cannot switch in safely (esp. when mm2y holds life orb, but in that way one can probably HP Stall with shed.) U can PP stall it with shed parting shot but if they predict it with using infestation, it would be a bad situation. So all such spam needs is to kill ur prankster top-tur, or simply baton passed a sub. Your team is great due to its ability to still play around using espeed - sacrifice the magic bounce and then toptur with prank/ or u can rely on a speed tie with ur own mm2 if the contrary is not V-create boosted...but anyway it would be problematic ----- 2. due to the normal type everywhere, I used spooky plate judgment protean mm2y, which 0HKO slaking, and ohko regi if not running a careful nature. It 68.8% 0hko kills arceus after stealth rock. I stopped using it somehow to balance my team and also for the fear that someone would copy it and cancer the meta, as I really like regi, and arceus-normal as well. Perhaps u can sub the Unaware Regi to Arceus Ice or Fight, since that can shield contrary a bit better, though not Pdon/MM2Y (imao, ice is better due to the fight arceus got 2hko once there is stealth rock on ur side)
