The author built around Mega Delphox and finished rank 217 in Singles Season M-1 under the name KILLERMOON. The concept is a status-damage control team: Delphox's Fire/Psychic coverage cleanly handles the widespread Umbreon + Florges defensive cores, and its typing pairs naturally with Toxic Spikes—Poison and Steel types that resist Poison are exactly those hit by Delphox's STAB moves. Glimmora leads to set Stealth Rock and Toxic Spikes; Umbreon's Wish + Yawn loop sustains the team and keeps Delphox cycling indefinitely. Aegislash handles Primarina, the team's biggest threat, with Wish support enabling repeated switchins. Toxapex covers Mimikyu, Primarina, and Lopunny that Umbreon cannot handle; Scizor without a held item is a late-game safety net. Identified weaknesses include sleep-cure or Calm Mind Primarina builds, Rain teams, and opposing Scizor with Swords Dance.Build article →

After cycling through many teams, the author returned to his best face-to-face build and rode a 12-win streak on the last day into Champion rank (218th). The core is the ultimate one-on-one pair, Kangaskhan and Garchomp: Mega Kangaskhan trades with Mega and regular mons alike using Body Slam, Earthquake and Ice Punch, and swapped in Facade to punish Delphox, Rotom and Scovillain that try to burn it. Garchomp runs Choice Scarf with an Adamant nature, locking in Outrage and Earthquake plus Rock Slide for Charizard and Stealth Rock to stop re-setup. He usually leads a Mega to grab tempo, with Mega Blastoise handling the Hippowdon and Skeledirge walls that Kangaskhan baits; its Water/Dark/Fighting/priority coverage is wide, but the team has no water answer so Primarina is rough. Volcarona beats physical Steels, sweeps after Quiver Dance and spreads Will-O-Wisp. Aegislash pivots into Mega StaBuild article →
This team started from trying a fellow author's Focus Sash Glimmora + Protect/Encore Mega Delphox combo mid-season, then merged with the author's own build from the previous season; cutting Focus Sash Garchomp left it unable to beat Mega Gengar, so Shed Shell Toxapex and Baton Pass Umbreon were borrowed in to patch that hole. Mega Delphox is the overwhelming core, hitting super-effectively wherever it can and locking down poison-immune foes with Protect plus Encore. Umbreon tanks physical attacks and Baton Passes Delphox in safely, Toxapex spreads Toxic Spikes and dodges Mega Gengar's Shadow Tag via Shed Shell, and Mega Meganium plus Choice Scarf Gholdengo round out matchups the trio struggles with, like Gyarados, Hippowdon, and Lucario. The author calls Delphox their strongest, most dominant piece, but admits Shed Shell costs them against physical Aegislash and Ceruledge, and the team sBuild article →
The author has long been known as a Scovillain specialist, doing well from Season 1 through 3 before collapsing late in Season 4, so for Season 5 they built a bulky-cycle team around Mega Scovillain, their signature pick. Mega Scovillain opens with Protect to mega evolve safely, then wears foes down with burn damage from its ability while chipping in steady damage of its own. Tyranitar handles the special attackers opponents send in against Scovillain, setting Stealth Rock and Knocking Off items, while Corviknight tanks physical hits and checks Garchomp. Mega Gengar traps threats with Shadow Tag before finishing with Shadow Ball, Clefable shuts down setup sweepers while stalling with Wish, and a Choice Scarf Garchomp patches the Fire/Steel weakness and cleans up late-game. The author says team selection and in-game play are the hardest part, but the build's strength is handling many kindBuild article →
The author copied a HB Palafin team he saw on YouTube and just slotted in his beloved Hisuian Goodra. The core trio of Palafin + Goodra + Mega Clefable carried almost every game. Palafin (Leftovers) leads, forces a switch, then comes back to stack Bulk Up; against Hippowdon it Substitutes through Yawn and pressures concessions. Choice Scarf Hisuian Goodra (max Speed) outpaces things like Mega Gengar and Mega Alakazam, fires off Draco Meteor as a general STAB, Thunderbolt for Primarina and Archaludon, and Fire Blast for Lucario and Scizor. Mega Clefable sponges physical attackers Goodra can't, runs enough Speed to outpace Mega Lopunny, and uses Thunder Wave plus Encore to enable Palafin's setup. Gengar's role is to suicide-trade against Palafin's hard counters like Primarina, Venusaur and Meganium, and its mere presence warps the opponent's lead. Garchomp and Kingambit were mostly bait to lure Hippowdon; the author admits the back two slots were under-tuned and Fairies remain a weak point.Build article →

Following the 5th-place finisher's ideas from last season, the author started from a Sitrus Hippowdon plus Leftovers Gyarados core and reached his first-ever Champion rank (219th). Hippowdon is the best support mon, with Earthquake, Yawn and Slack Off shutting down all kinds of one-way teams; wrecking the board with it, then closing with Gyarados and Archaludon, was the main win path, and Gyarados swapped to Dragon Dance because opponents kept playing its Leftovers like a Taunt. Archaludon was meant as a backup for when Dragonite couldn't come out, but as Dragonite's matchups worsened it became the main lead, and the author calls it a co-MVP alongside the Hippo core for landing near-lethal opening hits off the opponent's misreads. Dragonite has high stats and wide coverage, and its switch-reading Roost is oppressive; it leads to open lanes for Gyarados and Archaludon. Mega Floette is theBuild article →

作者以阿罗拉九尾＋Mega暴鲤龙这套组合的爆发力为核心出发点搭出全队。阿罗拉九尾靠光之黏土一回合铺满8回合极光幕，还带着鼓动来防被强化跳板利用，顺便靠特攻投资去啃河马兽；Mega暴鲤龙就在幕下龙舞横扫，作者特别提到当下环境谜拟丘变多、能真正压制它的强化手很稀缺，Mega前后属性变化打Mega时机要盯着甲贺忍蛙、西狮海壬、魔幻假面喵。生命宝珠火焰鸡是副强化点，专门补Mega暴鲤龙难打的魔幻假面喵、钢铠鸦、月亮伊布、Mega大竺葵。铝钢桥龙走高特防配置，携带隐形岩＋龙尾负责给甲贺忍蛙、耿鬼、妖火红狐这类九尾难出的对面制造展开；食痛果剑舞烈咬陆鲨专治Mega妙蛙花并顺带破盾；坚强背心配置的赛富豪守Mega姆克鹰、仙子伊布，还对电肚蛙很硬。作者自评2次龙舞后基本无解，短板是Mega暴鲤龙最高伤害招水流喷射命中不稳，权衡后没换力量鞭。Build article →
The author started from Mawile simply because it is cute and built the Mega around it. To beat Mawile's nemeses Charizard and Archaludon, they added Focus Sash Garchomp; fearing Hydreigon-Metagross and Gyarados, Choice Scarf Meowscarada outspeeds them, and Primarina handles Blaziken and Greninja. Mega Mawile runs max Attack/Speed for brawling and using the opponent's Meowscarada as setup fodder, with Ice Punch even muscling through defense-lowered Hippowdon. Armarouge with Shuca Berry counters the surging grass-Mega squad and Meganium, and crucially fits on the field alongside Mawile. Mimikyu is the flex pick with Swords Dance. The author admits Meowscarada constantly baits Archaludon, clashing with the single-Mega core and dragging down win rate, while Corviknight and set-up Gholdengo stay tough.Build article →

The author entered Singles M-1 with a Baton Pass chain team and finished rank 222. The idea was to bypass skill-gap by using a strategy that wins automatically once the pass lands. Glimmora sets entry hazards and exits; Espathra stacks Agility and Speed Boost passes through Feather Dance to soften physical attackers, then passes to Mega Clefable. Pre-Mega, Clefable's Unaware ignores any opposing setup; post-Mega, Cosmic Power plus Stored Power simply cleans everything up. A secondary chain through Liepard's Double Team feeds Scovillain's Moody hax. The author freely acknowledges the team is low-quality, dependent on matchup luck and Moody rolls, and immediately loses to phazing, Destiny Bond Gengar, or Cursed Mimikyu. Strength is that when the pass connects without counter-tech, Clefable sweeps unconditionally.Build article →
