So far loving Reevo right now, lotta fun and strong mons! :) Wanted to post my team and sets since I just hit #1 on the ladder (not much of an accomplishment since its the first week of the month lmao)

Clodsire @ Black Sludge
Ability: Unaware
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Poison Jab
- Recover
- Spikes
- Stealth Rock
Not much interesting here, it's THE special wall of the tier and with Unaware and PJab it can take on a lot of setup threats in the tier such as Volcarona. It sets up hazards, poisons things and eats. I also prefer phys def since it already has plenty of SpD base and it helps it with taking on things like Annihilape and opposing Clods.
Corviknight @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
Tera Type: Flying
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- U-turn
- Body Press
- Roost
- Defog
Another basic one, standard utility, sits on Clod and pressure stalls. Also threatens decently with BPress and eats a lot of physical hits the others can't. Uturn is also an overpowered move as always, we stan Uturn.
Toxapex @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Haze
- Recover
- Toxic
- Infestation
OH MY SWEET CHILD HOW I HAVE MISSED YOU! :D Pex is honestly one of my favorite mons and its a really fun one in Reevo. THE physical wall, solid enough utility even if it got gutted this gen, and way too many people let you abuse helmet and toxic. Also, those people running Annihilape thinking it 'counters' stall, but flounder as I just... don't attack it. Also helps toxic Volcaronas in a pinch! We love Pex :)
Slowking-Galar @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
Tera Type: Poison
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD
Calm Nature
IVs: 0 Atk / 0 Spe
- Psychic Noise
- Future Sight
- Sludge Bomb
- Flamethrower
I do not care for Chilly Reception sets, AV is the way to go and I will die on that hill! This thing has monstrous SpD when combined with an AV, great base SpA and an amazing movepool for applying pressure! Psychic Noise is busted, Future Sight helps maintain momentum and protect your team members, Sludge can help poison mons, and Flamethrower is just great coverage. Incredible mon, super versatile and highly recommend.
Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
Tera Type: Fairy
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpA
Bold Nature
- Moonblast
- Moonlight
- Knock Off
- Calm Mind
(Yes I prefer the BW sprites >:( power creep and new mons makes it so I can never use them!) Clefable is the glue for this team, what makes it actually work. Admittedly I could probably drop Calm Mind but its niche and handy from time to time. It's standard Clef shenanigans, and Magic Guard is so unholy and helps you sit on every defensive threat. Clodsires not running poison moves (they all run EQ and that's unoptimal imo) just... don't know what to do after realizing you don't take Toxic damage. And the best part? Clef isn't hitting SUPER hard, STAB MB is great and all, but it is Knock that makes it work. You force so much pressure by knocking defensive mons' lefties, getting rid of boots or band like on Lokix helps neuter them, overall just a fantastic mon. I never see people running it either but it's so good!
Dipplin @ Eviolite
Ability: Sticky Hold
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Relaxed Nature
IVs: 0 Spe
- Dragon Tail
- Giga Drain
- Recover
- Sucker Punch
Now, this team is kinda weak to Polteageist unga bunga lobotomists that just click Shell Smash and whatever funny move they want afterwards, but Dipplin is somehow the rock that helps weather the storm against it. Don't get me wrong, this thing is a check in the loosest of senses, but MAN does it feel good to bully those B'ish hooligans running that brainless mon. Wanna setup? Get DTailed out. Low HP and wanna get off a Stored Power to kill my Dipp? NAH BITCH SUCKER PUNCH. It also just has an insane defensive profile, and knock off immunity is really handy to help keep your team healthy with their leftovers. Massively underrated mon, not incredible since it has a worse movepool than Wobuffet, but still a very valuable member.
And yeah! Can't wait to see how the metagame develops, so far it's been a lot of fun! Cheers everyone :)
