Knock Off spam for item control, U-Turn+Flip Turn for positioning, and Draco Meteor for burst damage. I worry that this team is too reliant on Draco Meteor, that my pivot moves are too fast to counter-pivot, and that I have a distinct weakness to Fairy (4 weaknesses and no resists) and Fighting (2 weaks, and the two resists aren't all that bulky). ---------------------------------- Cyclizar is a standard, just pivoting in advance of an attack, burst damage, and Knock Off. ---------------------------------- Swampert for a Rocks and a slow pivot - I'm thinking of dropping speed to minimum possible - and having some decent physical prowess ---------------------------------- Gallade as a revenge killer that works on ghosts, breaking slower bulk up or ironpress users, and ripping apart some walls. ---------------------------------- Chesnaught for Ironpress, Knock Off, and some sustain. If I need it, then it's wonderful. If I don't need it, then it's still a decent threat and an answer to Maushold. ---------------------------------- Goodra-H for Phazing and dropping enemy Special Defense, which is important for my special-skewed team. Also, Knock Off. ---------------------------------- Noivern is my answer to Sun, a soft check to Rain (losing to Ice Beam on Basc-F or Politoed), a solid answer to Breloom (screw Substitute) and Chesnaught, and also a nice pivot with burst damage. I'm basically certain that Tera Flying is a holdover from when I had Hurricane or another Flying move on it. I've been thinking of Tera Dragon (or Tera Water as a bluff vs Sun teams and that doesn't still lose to Ice Beam) Kilowattrel instead as a new anti-weather to get some Electric and Flying representation, but I worry it won't be as reliable against non-weather.
