Hey all! Here's the team I used to get rank 1 on the battle stadium with a final record of 40 wins and 7 losses! I wanted to build around Dipplin and I was overall impressed - it isn't a broken Pokemon but its ability to guarantee inaccurate moves hit, lower the speed of your opponent with syrup bomb, heal its partners with pollen puff and wall Urshifu-Rapid and Ogerpon-Water made it a strong pick.

Dipplin: The Pokemon I wanted to build around, I explained a bit of the reasoning up above. Maxing HP was the most effective because of eviolites bulk, and then I invested most of the points into special defense for longevity. I forget why I invested special attack EVs. Tera-Fairy seemed like a good general defensive tera, I almost never terastalized Dipplin in practice.
Chi-Yu: I chose Chi-Yu because I wanted a Pokemon that had moves that could benefit from Supersweet Syrup and could also apply a lot of pressure since I wanted to take KOs early. With Focus Sash Chi-Yu was able to stick around longer, and I went with the four strongest and most consistent moves for this set. Since it didn't need an offensive tera, ghost was chosen to help VS Fake Out/Extreemespeed. No need to invest in bulk with focus sash, and modest seemed better than timid with my speed support (and given there isn't much around this speed tier anyway).
Bundle: I already had a fire and a grass type so I started thinking about water types, and bundle seemed like a great choice. I liked how well it paired offensively with Chi-Yu, and I could guarantee hits with supersweet syrup. This also allowed me to have two speed control Pokemon in the first three mons. I initially had a bulkier spread but it felt like it wasn't super relevant so I went back to max/max, ghost is used to help with fake out and extreemespeed.
Iron Hands: Standard Hands I've been using, tweaked a little to outspeed urshifu after two speed drops from supersweet syrup. Water was necessary here because I was weak to Flutter + Chi-Yu
Landorus: I was really worried about Ogerpon-Fire, so I wanted Intimidate and a general good Pokemon against it. I really like scarf Landorus at the moment, though I started with Clear Amulet initially it was too reliant on speed drops from Dipplin and Bundle. Scarf Landorus complemented many of the team members, and this is the standard set. I dropped some speed and power for enough bulk to take a terastalized ivy cudgel after Intimidate cancels the boost.
Farigiraf: The last Pokemon I added, I needed help vs Dragonite/Chien Pao and Indeedee/Armarouge. Tera Fire Farigiraf fit neatly into both and could also be used against hyper offensive tailwind teams that were giving me trouble. I invested a little in speed to outspeed Chi-Yu after two speed drops (icy wind, syrup bomb), put a ton in defense to take Ogerpon/Urshifu attacks, and put the rest in special defense. Sitrus was chosen for general longevity.
Hope you all enjoy the team, thanks again for the support!
