The first team I made entering RU Alpha / Beta. I made numerous changes which I'll also go over. Starting off, I thought SubToxic Mantine was an often overlooked set as a lot of people automatically uses it to Defog. SubToxic Mantine pressures a ton of Pokemon. For example, you aren't forced out by opposing Mantines fearing a Toxic. You also deal a good amount of damage with Scald while possibly spreading burns onto Physical Attackers which will greatly support the team. To add onto chip damage, Bronzong and Chesnaught were added for hazards in Stealth Rock and Spikes respectively. Bronzong also helped spread Toxic around on fatter Pokemon or set up sweepers that look to set up on it and puts a time limit on what they can do. At the time, Chesnaught was mainly added to not get crushed by Crawdaunt but it still functions really well in blanket checking a variety of Physical Attackers such as Flygon, and Swords Dance Zoroark. Gligar was then added for hazard removal. I decided to go with a defogger because of the actual chance of me getting 3 layers of spikes and Stealth Rock up is incredibly low so using Defog wouldn't be that detrimental to earlier Pokemon. I noticed I lacked a win condition at this point so I decided to add Calm Mind Florges. It also takes on the task of checking Honchkrow as its EV'd to outspeed it and OHKO with Moonblast. Florges often catches a lot of people off guard and tends to win games fairly easily once the right Pokemon are KO'd or weakened to the point Florges can handle them. This last slot has changed so many times because of me finding new weaknesses to the team or the meta changing a bit due to new bans or trends. At first, the last slot was Sneasel which was mainly to help against Reuniclus and Zoroark as the rest of the team is fairly slow and struggles a lot against them. I didn't like Sneasel much due to how hard it is to actually get it into the match so I later switched in for Mega Glalie which honestly isn't too better but the wallbreaking power and priority was worth trying for. I later used Drapion which honestly sucked. I then moved to a double CM core with Spiritomb and Florges, although it did work the best out of all the other Pokemon, the team was incredibly passive which cost me a lot of games. I later ended with Choice Band Snorlax. Its tanky, it hits incredibly hard while being able to check the Pokemon I struggle with the most which was Reuniclus and Nasty Plot Zoroark. Snorlax being able to break through a lot of fat Pokemon which made the chip damage from hazards or status even more valuable as it called for a Florges clean up quicker.
