grassfr_'s Nice Regional 2027 Top 128 Team

How the team plays

Delphox (Mega) is the team's special attacker: Timid with Nasty Plot, Heat Wave and Psyshock behind Protect, at 194 Special Attack. It needs one free turn to set up, and the rest of the team is built to provide it. It also runs Floette-Eternal (Mega) as an alternative Mega: only one can Mega Evolve per battle.

Rillaboom's Grassy Terrain is used for reducing Earthquake and Bulldoze damage.

Incineroar works as a pivot next to Delphox (Mega): Intimidate lowers both foes' Attack; Parting Shot lets it switch out without losing the turn.

Rillaboom, Sneasler and Incineroar provide Fake Out and Rillaboom hits with priority through Grassy Glide: that is how it gets the free turn without spending a setup move.

Delphox (Mega) is the fastest at 204 Speed, followed by Sneasler at 189. It runs no speed control: it relies on hitting hard before the opponent moves.

Floette-Eternal (Mega) is the spread attacker: Dazzling Gleam hits both foes at once.

Incineroar's Passho Berry covers the Water hit it would otherwise lose to.

The Ground and Fighting weaknesses are unresolved: 4 of the six are weak to Ground and Kingambit takes 4× from Fighting.

The spreads are hand-tuned: Rillaboom, for example, runs 32 HP / 15 Atk / 9 Def / 6 SpD / 4 Spe.
