So, this team was actually built around the legendary :cbdarm:... I decided to go with a cool Volt Turn core with Band Darm and Hp Grass Mmane to lure things like Swampert, Toad, Quag, etc. that can kinda-ish switch into a Band Darm's Flare Blitz. Now since I have Hp Grass > Hp Ice on Mmane, I decided to get something to make sure the Gliscor matchup is proper. So here comes Sub Roost Kyurem w/ Toxic... having Mamo woulda been so easy to put here for role compression purposes but rip mamo ;w;, but Sub Roost Kyurem is actually so fun to use and helps this team's Mmane, Gliscor, and stall matchup a shit ton. With this, the team is lookin super rocks weak, having to take 25% from rocks when switching into an EQ from Gliscor sucks for Kyurem, and Darm lacks recovery and durability because of it's weakness to rocks and basically killing itself over time with the spamming of Flare Blitz. Togekiss comes in due to this weakness to rocks... on top of this though, it also gives the team a much needed Fairy type, Ground immunity, and consistent Serp/Loom answer w/ T-Wave support to synergize with band Darm. Now Choice Scarf Krookodile which serves as the team's speed control and primary Maero/Mega Manectric answer. Krook is also very useful for the CM Lati m/u and Pursuit trapping things like Lati, Chandelure, and primarily Mega Manectric. So now I have Cobalion w/ Occa Berry which I think is p neat as it can kinda serve as a secondary Hydreigon/Mega Houndoom answer, a lot of people don't see it coming either... also the team lacks fire resists, so Occa Berry seemed p cool here.
