Round 2?
My whole team here:(I've been wanting to make an RMT but I never got around to it)
It's worth mentioning this team was made early BW2, before Genesect and Techniloom were released. Also, you'll notice the team is seriously weak to terrakion, which is why I'm not gonna try to ladder any higher. Tspikes was how I brought down Terrakion usually, so any team with Terrakion and Tentacruel or Starmie usually wrecked me.
Finally, since it seems no one else is using him...

Not sure if I should go for baton pass or spike stacking...
I discovered Mandibuzz in a Randbat against TropiOUs on PS, in which she was practically invincible, but eventually brought down through parahax and regice. I was surprised that a pokemon with incredible 110/105/95 defenses was struggling in RU. I remembered seeing her on an OU sand team, but I found it difficult to fit her on a sand team of my own, since the larger variety of sand-immune pokemon makes it harder to justify a team slot for her. Gliscor, for example, can be played similarly to a physically defensive Mandibuzz. I turned to Hail teams where Mandibuzz fits more easily as only ice types and those with certain abilities are immune. I had used his team before, so I used Delko's Christmas RMT: http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3458509 as a starting point and his Heatran set made it on my team unchanged.Jobriq, what convinced you to use Mandibuzz on a Hail team? You didn't release your entire team (which is cool) but I'm just curious as to what went on in your mind in the teammate selecting phase there. I am by no means saying it's a bad choice! I am just genuinely curious as to why you picked that Pokemon specifically.
