4 Wacky Pokemon sets for you to try in BSS.
Starmie is typically thought of as a mega pokemon nowadays, Its much better bulk to tank a hit and physical oppresive side due to Huge Power seem to be very good in the current meta. Mega Starmie also has the spatk to back it up for running thunderbolt for opposing Corviknight with naive nature. I personally believe in this Starmie alittle more however M-Starmie with tbolt is not to be overlooked.
32+ Atk Garchomp Outrage vs. 1 HP / 13 Def Starmie: 115-136 (84.5 - 100%) -- 6.25% chance to OHKO
Speed to outspeed adamant choice scarf Garchomp
32+ SpA Starmie Hydro Pump vs. 32 HP / 6 SpD Hippowdon: 212-252 (98.6 - 117.2%) -- 93.75% chance to OHKO
32+ SpA Starmie Thunderbolt vs. 32 HP / 6 SpD Corviknight: 102-122 (49.7 - 59.5%) -- guaranteed 3HKO after Sitrus Berry recovery
These are afew calcs to show the pokemons options. While scarf Starmie isnt the most impressive option for your team it certainly has its niches as a pokemon it has its own unique things :p.
This may look alittle odd but my next pokemon i find to have a niche is Shuca Berry Empoleon. Vacuum wave priority is really interesting. You ohko M-Starmie with Grass Knot, Ice beam kos opposing Garchomp after prompty tanking opposing Earthquake. Last move is a toss up between Surf or Hydro Cannon while you could get fancy and run Stealth rocks or Roost u probably drop a move for that.
Empoleon with rocks could turn to be a interesting lead pokemon.
This set is interesting to me as i believe this to be a last minute Basculegion/M-Starmie backup answer & a generally good S-Rocker overall. I think you can probably just go Sash or Lum berry though and run it normally with Rocks, Mega-Tyranitar is better most the time.
M-Sableye is quite fun. Prankster Will-o-wisp while being able to turn into a magic bounce user. Hex + Will-o-wisp is also really cool tech. Bouncing Stealth rocks can prove vital support on a team using Volcarona for example or just in general for focus sash pokemon/that little chip.
if you are a stall player i definitely recommend M-Sableye :3.
hi Im Lily or Volcaronavgc in the online scene. Im primarily a doubles player however have been dipping my toes into BSS and achieved Top 50 in the world on the pokemon showdown ladder twice + 2000 Elo ingame with a M-Starmie team. I personally am someone who tends to be pretty private about my teams and such so i hope you enjoy :D.
(notes looking back is maybe the Starmie can fit Thunderbolt on the set)
