Passionfruit Mamoswine
Alright, so after like not posting anything for months, Lurue (uni) is back posting some flames. The name of the team “Passionfruit” is obviously from one of my favorite Drake songs, “Passionfruit.” Now with formals out of the way on to the team shall we?
The Original Incarnation
The original version went like this: https://pokepast.es/3507d587b8402ec8
The team started around Metronome Mamo who in my opinion is very fun to use in the current meta game. It’s my physical attacker and it beats stuff like lando, magearna, torn t, and it does good damage to lots of things on the switch.
Volcarona is the designated special sweeper of the team. It can come in, set up and win in most cases, I went for a volc set with some defensive bulk EVs and HP investment so we don’t die so easily lol.
Magearna is there as the special wall as well as a stall breaker as it can beat pex, tangrowth, and chansey. Magearna is personally one of my favorite pokemon to come out of Gen 7 and in general. But on to the next thing
Torn T is there as the defogger. Realistically lol. It also is a good pivot as I can just u turn into my win cons or I can even knock things off on the switch like Scarf lando T, or any non mega Ttar item lol.
Slowbro is my defensive pivot, I can switch in to things like mega Lopunny, Zard X, and mega Medi. I opted for fire blast to hit things like ferrothorn and mega scizor.
Mega Alakazam is there as the late game sweeper. Zam is Zam. It beats everything lol. But jkjk it can come in mid to late game and just pick off everything that’s left on the field because it’s that good.
Now with the original team’s introduction is out of the way let’s address some things. This original incarnation really struggles hard with Koko so I did some playing around and I made these alternatives. (I know this is a RMT and you guys are supposed to fix it but you guys can tell me which version you guys think is most effective.)

This version I really just replaced slowbro for AV Amoongus. AV Moon is there as the electric check as well as a better special wall. The only problem with this version now is that it loses pretty hard to hawlucha. If it gets in, it can set up and beat me completely.

I tried this version out and it’s fun. It doesn’t lose to Lucha as bad, but does struggle against scarf lele once magearna goes down as well as sand but eh.

This was the last version of the team I made. This has been my most successful version. I have gastro as a secondary electric immunity as well as Z koko as a bit of a late game nuke. I have hp fire for mega scizor and kart.
So in conclusion I had fun building this and hopefully I can get some more tips and post more teams in the future. -Sincerely Uni
