You've probably read it, seeing that these are the same as the VGC winners sets, which is nice, and I'd love to see why they picked what they picked.

Also, I'd love to see Rock Polish believe it or not. I've seen Bulky sets use Rock Polish without speed investment, because at 110 base speed its bulk can be maximized and with one turn become cripplingly fast with its own Speed Support.
I know it's a bit gimmicky, but I'd love to see if you can find a set that it works with. With ridiculous bulk comes ridiculous power.
