I've thought this has needed to happen for quite a bit of time, Sirfetch'd's time in the spotlight. So when Blue and I sat down to build a team I suggested Sirfetch'd was the right choice. Sir'Fetch'd has pretty much one thing going for it, and that is Scrappy Close Combats off of its stellar 135 Attack stat. It has a decent movepool as a whole, with the very good first impression, but it also has brave bird which helps it gain a niche over something like pangoro who also has Scrappy close combat. Brave bird allows it to beat Buzzwole, which has proven itself to be a very capable physical wall recently. And then Knock off as a neutral hit with barely any drawbacks, thats pretty spammable. We chose the choice band set, because all of its other sets are fairly inconsistent, and don't hit as hard. In the process of building, we started out by listing out threats to Sirfetch'd the big 5 we noted were Zapdos, Corviknight, Gliscor, Landorus, and Toxapex. So we started by picking offensive threats to help it out, for this we chose Heatran to deal with Corv and Toxapex, Garchomp to deal with Zapdos, and Toxapex as well, and then Greninja to deal with Zapdos, Gliscor and Landorus. Heatran was also picked because it can remove the special walls such as blissey that pose such a threat to Greninja. After picking offensive mons to help sirfetch'd out we moved on to patching holes defensively. We decided to go with the blanket check of Mega Corv to check physical attackers, it also acts as a defogger, and as a pivot to get in Sirfetch'd more safely. Now specially most notably the team was pretty weak to ash greninja, so we picked spedef Amoongus to deal with it, and other special threats that threaten this team, the weakness to fire in the defensive core is easily dealt with through heatran. And we decided to run clear smog on Amoongus to deal with setup sweepers such as Kommo-o, and Spore helps us deal with that even easier. The reason in the end we decided to go with Garchomp, is because we could beat Heatran offensively, but nothing really wants to switch in on heatran to beat it, thats where Garchomp comes in as a Heatran answer, and also to pack rocks, and the Z move to break through walls, to possibly sweep lategame.
