BRUTO PINK SISTERS
INTRODUCTION
Hi everybody, this is Nevis bringing you my first RMT. I’m a pokemon italian guy not so used to smogon and its mechanics, mainly for the lack of time and such. I play since XY, and now here I am. This team is inspired by the team I used for the Landorus-I suspect, obviously riadapted to the actual meta and to the current threats. Here’s the team building phase.
BUILDING PROCESS
I started with Heracross because i wanted to build a semistall with offensive pressure potential, and I wanted a reliable and aggressive way to face fat balance and stall.
Then I put Heatran as a setter and a tflame (birds) counter.
I picked Skarmory as a defogger to better face physical attackers and set uppers.
Last but not least I put together the “big 3”, the “pink core”, filling the weaknesses of the team and providing a core that is very hard to break. Their immunities and their bulk, paired with the speed of Tornadus and with stat up moves from the other two, make a great sinergy that gives you a response for pretty much everything that the other two don’t cover.
THE TEAM
BRUTO (Heracross) @ Heracronite
Ability: Moxie
EVs: 32 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 220 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Close Combat
- Pin Missile
- Bullet Seed
- Substitute
This is the main pokemon of the team, capable as I said to break stall and fatty teams, and to pressure hard the opponent every single game. Substitute is preferred over Rock blast to help with its job, luring status moves and take advantage from pokemon that cannot break the sub. Bullet seed is needed to kill Rotom-Wash and Quagsire. The spread is made to outspeed adamant Bisharp and Breloom with the Mega evolution, and also to outspeed jolly Magnezone by 1 point. The remaining was invested in bulk.
BIG MOMMA (Heatran) @ Leftovers
Ability: Flash Fire
EVs: 248 HP / 24 SpA / 188 SpD / 48 Spe
Calm Nature
- Lava Plume
- Stone Edge
- Taunt
- Stealth Rock
It is the setter and the flying resistor. The given spread is to outspeed MVenusar, and some special atk is given to hit harder MSableye. Stone edge is there to severely damage defensive tflame, which is very annoying.
UCCELLO DVRO (Skarmory) @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Sturdy
EVs: 248 HP / 252 Def / 8 Spe
Impish Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Spikes
- Defog
- Whirlwind
- Roost
Last we have Skarmory, with no offensive moves. It may seem weird or useless, but it is crucial for the hazard stacking and removal, also to mitigate dangerous physical stat uppers. The spread is completely defensive due to its role.
PING (Gastrodon) (M) @ Leftovers
Ability: Storm Drain
EVs: 216 HP / 192 Def / 100 SpD
Impish Nature
- Waterfall
- Earthquake
- Curse
- Recover
Curse Gastrodon is the mascotte of the team, but also a terrible late game sweeper if ur not prepared to it. It’s amazing for its ability to stop completely the electric types, and to stat up against so many things. The spread gives it a decent bulk, to take at least one hit from every pokemon that has not a super effective move. The 100 evs in hp nullify the chance of 2HKO by the classic Mega Diancie. The physical bulk is needed to check Gyarados and Keldeo cmind, cursing up.
TOTEM (Tornadus-Therian) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 132 HP / 160 SpA / 216 Spe
Hasty Nature
- Hurricane
- U-turn
- Knock Off
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Classic assault vest pivot, helping with Keldeo, Starmie, Gengar and Serperior. Hidden power ice is mainly for Sword Dance Fire Fang Garchomp, that is a huge problem for the team. I found out that it is also useful vs Landorus-T, that loves to stay in one turn against Torn, or to switch in directly.
PONG (Clefable) @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 172 Def / 84 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Moonblast
- Thunder Wave
- Calm Mind
- Soft-Boiled
I don’t think I need any explanation here. Clef is nowadays one of the best pokemon in the tier, because of its ability, its typing and its bulk. I use the Thunder Wave Calm-Mind set to assist MHeracross, and to slow down the opponent threats. This is also a reliable sweeper itself, perfect for the late game.
PROOF OF THE PICK

IMPORTABLE
SHOTOUTS
I must give a shout to:
- All the old OS team
- Mio Isurugi MM
- Empo
- Lifeisaroll
