This team is designed to utterly win hazard wars so its fast Pokemon can sweep well. It does so by doubling down on some key elements. Most obviously is having Spikes lead Meowscarada plus Stealth Rock Treads, giving you options for hazard leading. Spikes lead in particular is better against teams with heavy Ground/Steel types like Kingambit, Great Tusk, Ting-Lu, and Gholdengo. Two Trick users plus a Taunt user deny Defog and ruin Stall, and Zoroark blocks Rapid Spin as well. You then have a Spin user of your own, as well as Cinderace's Court Change. Volt Switching from Rotom and Iron Treads is also useful against Glimmora leads, especially when partnered with Zoroark. Zoroark also benefits immensely from the team layout. It can fake the lead Meowscarada to get early damage against things like Torkoal, Cinderace, and attempted Hatterene switches. Alternatively, faking Iron Treads prompts Fighting types. Faking Rotom makes Great Tusk and Corviknight reluctant, and Trick can be used to deceive the opponent. Faking Iron Valiant not only keeps away Dark types, but makes Dragapult likely to click Shadow Ball only to thud and fail. In general, Iron Valiant will be how you win the game. It is easy to remove or heavily damage its checks and counters, leaving it in prime sweeping position. Liquidation is a particularly underrated option. There are threats to this team, but they can be outplayed and checked. DD Dragonite and Sp. Def setup Tera Garganacl are the biggest, but they can be Tricked. AV Azumarill may also be a problem on paper, but I did not play any in testing and can likely be beaten by preserving Meow's Sash. Pawmot also may have a fairly easy time using Revival Blessing against Rotom or Treads, so disguising Zoroark as Treads is advised in those situations. Cyclizar has the easiest time Spinning against this team, so Thunder Waving it with Rotom is practically required short of using Valiant to kill it. Finally, another possible but unfound situation is getting reverse swept by Ditto copying Iron Valiant and clicking Spirit Break. Nonetheless, I do think this team is well-equipped to take on most of the metagame, even in disadvantageous matchups.
