I've submitted something like this before, but in light of new evidence, I think it needs review again. _________________________________ Araquanid as a web setter, or a really bulky attacker if the enemy can't be slowed enough. _________________________________ Gengar as Modest instead of Timid because of the Web. Since I can't always keep the Sticky Web up, I'm debating going back to Timid. Encore and Nasty Plot have saved me MANY times. _________________________________ Entei is just bog-standard. Revenge killer that can swap to new moves as needed. _________________________________ Krookodile for Knock Off and a powerful win condition if I can outspeed or get them in on a weakened mon with the power to 2HKO anything they can swap in. _________________________________ Armarogue for the Weakness Policy surprise return to power. Saved me a lot. Endure also helps me stall out weather (that isn't Sand). _________________________________ Gallade for Knock Off and Sacred Sword to beat defense boosts. Swords Dance only comes up rarely, more rarely than Gengar's Nasty Plot, though it's very useful when it does. _________________________________ The team struggles with pure Stall, Pressure + Sub + Protect stall, Hippowdon, Kleavor, and Gastrodon. I lack good Fairy attacks and have found myself wishing for them, or just a Fairy at all. Other big threats can be a pain, but most of those losses can be traced to being outplayed or against a composition that has a good edge vs me. _________________________________ I'm also concerned about how many of my mons have Tera Ghost; it has helped vs Rapid Spin but part of me weeps at not having a better defensive Tera on Gallade. I'm also considering Sacred Sword + X-Scissor Banded Terrakion over Krookodile or going for Tera Grass Tera Blast Magnezone over Armarogue or Gengar.
