This is a strong offensive Volt-Turn team that has a surprisingly resilient defensive backbone because of the good or average bulk of all the members. Overall, the only thing it really is missing is an answer to Hydreigon because I do not use a Fairy and Scizor as my Dragon resist and a weakness to Aurora Veil because Crobat has a horrible match up against Sandslash despite having Infiltrator and Defog. Most of the momentum is generated through the two U-Turn users and Scizor which are both fast and strong (Scizor relying on Bullet Punch for speed) so they can threaten basically any defensive Pokemon except Hippowdon, which still does not like taking U-Turns for nothing. This strategy is punctuated by Heracross which smashes the defenses of my opponent's team usually after getting a free switch in from Vol-Turn. Seismitoad provides nice resistances which complements Crobat in particular and the essential Stealth Rock, while Latias gives me a nice hand over most offenses and has Healing Wish to often give me basically 7 Pokemon to work with in some games as I can strategically sacrifice Latias. [USER=56643]pokeisfun[/USER] said you could run Swampert (a set with max attack and Avalanche was his suggestion) over Seismitoad, too, but this leaves you a lot weaker to Primarina. Replays: https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7uu-687839555 Against a Spikes offense team, the matchup is fairly balanced since they have a good Spiker vs Crobat but I probably have a slight advantage as they are really Scizor and Manectric weak. I keep that advantage after some maybe questionable moves early on (letting me Defog SR, not Endeavoring on the BP if they had it) https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7uu-682514374 Despite getting fairly lucky in the beginning with the Draco Meteor miss, I sort of crumble versus their Latias still because of the turn one damage on Scizor. Basically this shows one theme of the team - an over reliance on Scizor to check threats.
