Zymogen Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) Exca should be adamant, and that gliscor set sounds dreadful so I’d change it for acrogem E: also shed shell instead of lefties on ferro, cb ttar for reun and I personally prefer impish hippo otherwise you straight up lose to opposing exca Edited September 15, 2018 by Zymogen Roundabout 1 Link to comment

Agreed on the rest through, thanks for the suggestions. Link to comment
suigin Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Breloom/Conk destroy you, get a psychic type. OrangeManiac and Roundabout 2 Link to comment

Do you think I should cut Magnezone or Gliscor for this, or maybe even Ferrothorn? Skarmory / Ferrothorn seem to be troublesome without Mag, and Gliscor is interesting but I didn't try it yet. I'm guessing Ferrothorn is required to take care of bulky water types such as Slowbro?. Link to comment
suigin Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Thorn is definitely good for water types in general yeah. I'd say Gliscor is definitely the weakest link in your team, Reuniclus is a good choice for a psychic type if you hate sand chip on your own mons Sigilyph has a better matchup against Breloom too but is more likely to be pelted by Conkeldurr on a second switch.

DoubleJ Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 No reason to have Magnezone on this team, I'd drop it for Gengar or Reuni to patch up your Fighting-type weakness a bit, or even go with a solid pivot like Eviolite Dusclops. Roundabout 1 Link to comment

Skarmory and Ferrothorn can check most mons on this team through, and Mag can take care of these, but I'll listen to you and get a dusclops, as I feel like I also need a spinblocker DoubleJ 1 Link to comment
