Week 50 (Rotom-H) winner

by Accelgor

I decided to take a balanced approach with this team. Rotom-H is, of course, the focus point for this week's competition and I've opted to go for a Defog set featuring Toxic, which lures and cripples Rotom-H's usual switch-ins like Swampert and Latias. Krookodile gives the team an immunity to Electric moves which significantly helps vs voltturn teams, and also helps to trap the aforementioned Latias to make Rotom-H's abilities easier to execute. Iron Tail may seem like a weird choice, but it may prove to be useful in matchups versus Dragon Dance Mega Altaria, which can otherwise become a bit uncomfortable to deal with. Mega Slowbro was a natural addition as it checks Pokemon like Terrakion and Mega Aerodactyl which stand in Rotom-H's way, and with Krookodile to Pursuit trap Latias, it can also function as a decent sweeper. Cobalion fulfills the obligatory role of a Stealth Rocker and can also punch holes in most opposing balance teams with its access to Swords Dance and Fightinium-Z. Togekiss gives the team an out versus slower teams and checks Hydreigon for Mega Slowbro, while also supporting Mega Slowbro's susceptibility to status with Heal Bell. PapaLax rounds out the team, giving me a switch-in to Latias while also giving the team another sweeping option. Most teams rely on status or Knock Off to nullify this Snorlax set, however both counterplay options are covered by its teammates quite well. Feel free to try out the team for yourselves!
