July Meta Change

by Aura Guardian

With sudden swap in meta to favor Grass types, I'm concerned about choosing Krookodile, but it's better than Swampert is, now. ---------------------------------- I also have concerns that in my haste to replace Swampert vs incoming Grass types and Specs Magnezone vs incoming ground types, I wiped out all of my pivot momentum and found myself sorely missing that. ---------------------------------- Krookodile for rocks, heavy hitting, and getting grass types on the switch in. ---------------------------------- Mimikyu as anti-cheese + revenge killer. I was thinking of Leech Life over Drain Punch, but Drain Punch did wonders against a Bisharp and I remembered that. ---------------------------------- Gardevoir as standard revenge killer + Trick + Healing Wish. ---------------------------------- Goodra-Hisui for bulk, Knock Off, and beating Serperior becuase of COURSE it's getting spammed. Generally just solid attacks beyond that. If I don't have need of Goodra-H, then it's mostly a matter of sacrificing it in a 1-vs-1 scenario ---------------------------------- Talonflame used to have U-Turn, but swapped it for Flare Blitz to get the grass types I expect to flood this meta. ---------------------------------- Lucario as a revenge killer + endgame sweeper. I chose Ice Punch over Crunch/Meteor Mash to try and beat all the Grass and Ground Types I expect to join the tier, but on reflection, I think it's a very weak choice and want a replacement move.
