After trying out using Toxic instead of Haze, I find myself catching off-guard offensive threats much easier (Latios, Zapdos really love getting in front of Toxapex). While dealing with Bisharp SD and sometimes Clefable CM harder (especially the Stored Power variant, which isn't that common...

I will say Haze > Toxic, simply because Toxapex has to deal with stuff that Clefable cannot deal with (namely, SD Bisharp / Kartana / Scizor-M whom Clefable all cannot fare against well. I know I have Mandibuzz to deal with but occasionally Any +2 Z-Move can kill Mandi pretty easily so it isn't...

Genesect: Do Not Ban

Reconfirming as Mighty Machamp since last alt does not qualify limit of matches.

1. It's unexpected: People usually lead with Landorus-T/Landorus-I or Garchomp or sth that can do SR early game after spotting Talonflame AND Gyarados in my team, and most things with SR are usually hurted by SashTar. 2. Sandstorm. Tyranitar is selected for the quick Sand to allow Excadrill to...

I don't think you understand Mew and Tyranitar' role pretty much, since its effectiveness is based on its luring ability and so for common Mew switch-in such as Tyranitar it will be a free kill on the spot. As for Tyranitar, it is an effective anti-setup from common mons such as Landorus-T...

Aegislash: Unban

I don't agree they are an effective core. To begin with, they share similar weaknesses and do not form a really solid synergy (Common threat such as opp's Mega Altaria, Mega Metagross, and sometimes Scizor and Bisharp and so on). Offensively, it's more like "Mega Altaria + something that hurts...

UPDATE: Turned out Band Talonflame is not so great in the current meta, and after trying SD Talonflame as suggested by most people I find that it definitely makes the team even more offensive while still retaining sustainability. Edited 1st post, and also fixed image errors.

UPDATE: Tested the team in the Tourney and won too! :D

Thanks for the suggestion! :D I will definitely give it a try for Venusaur set and Cobalion over Bisharp, although less priority from Bisharp can be problematic and Bisharp/Weavile can definitely be played around.
