Was bored, built this. Will start typing huge explanations below

Wide guard is way to common to do this
Greninja: Our main “sweeper”, just here to click either surf or sludge wave based on the matchup. Made to deal damage and nothing else.
Empoleon: Sludge wave immunity, competitive, decent damage output. Helps with fairies
Heliolisk: Surf immunity, walls late game basculegion (scary for us), E-web speed control and ok damage
Infernape: Fake out mon, Mach punch black belt iron fist is absurd, heals with drain punch and good fire-type damage
Torterra: rounds out fire-water-grass core. Wide guard, bulky late game sweeper
Vivillon: sleep and tailwind, pollen puff can heal
No one is expecting the sludge wave/surf greninja
Still
Once they see it yeah, but we predict it
Aero runs wide guard
Surf
Aero is NEVER clicking turn 1 wide guard in front of greninja and heliolisk 😭
I would
For webs
I can heliolisk back
Its for mind games
Also torterra eats a surf and gets iron defense up/kills aero after sash
Also this has all the sinnoh starters on accident lmao
Tomorrow I am building a team with 6 meta mons doing things they aren’t supposed to
