I actually built this prior to the teambuilding competition, but I thought it was cool and wanted to share. This was built around the double Intimidate core of Manectric + Krookodile. Offensively, they cover each other well. Krookodile also gave me Pursuit, a Ground type, and speed control. I decided on Crobat next, as it covers Grass-, Fairy-, Bug-, Fighting-, and Ground types for my core and also helps with the matchup against fatter teams with Taunt + Super Fang. It also provided a revenge killer for non-Scarf Latias. Next, I wanted an Ice and Water resist, a wincon, and a secondary stallbreaker since I generally prefer 2 instead of 1. I decided on broken mon Suicune, which destroys most offense teams that are unprepared and smashes fat along with Crobat. The EV spread outspeeds positive speed 70s which allows me to optimize more bulk. Next, I decided on Defog Meadow Plate Serperior. It provides me with a more reliable check to opposing Suicune, hazard removal, and the aforementioned fat matchup. Lastly, I had to decide on either a Steel type or a Fairy type. I also lacked a Flying resist. Most people who know me know how much I love Diancie, so I decided on everyone's favorite pixie rock. It also provides me with rocks and a reliable Hydreigon check. Other Options As far as different choices go, there isn't much. Ice Beam can be used on Suicune over Protect if you want to hit Grass types and hit Gliscor harder, but I generally prefer Protect for scouting and PP stalling easier. Glare on Serperior and Defog Crobat is another option if you don't want more reliable hazard removal and instead prefer for Serperior to snowball late-game, but it does this well enough anyway and I generally dislike Defog Crobat. No hazard removal is also an option due to my only Rocks weak mon having longetivity. However, the rest of my mons are grounded and generally dislike hazards, especially Suicune. If you're worried about status, Heal Bell on Diancie is an option, but generally I prefer Toxic for pressuring things like Hippowdon and Mantine. Threatlist Scizor is the obvious threat that comes to mind. The general way to deal with it is to not let it come in. It doesn't come in on anything safely aside from Diancie, which can deal some decent damage with Diamond Storm. If it does get in, generally your best bet is Manectric. Calm Mind Latias can be a nuisance if it sets up. If it kills a mon, you should go Crobat or Krookodile (if it's low enough) to revenge kill. These are the two biggest threats. Other threats include Suicune if Serperior goes down, any Hydreigon with Flash Cannon, opposing Manectric, and probably more I'm forgetting. Overrall, I've had fun using this team. Enjoy!
