It is viable, but not with the set you posted imo. If you're going physical, you should go mega-lix imo. If you however want to surprise molas, growths, zongs, other lixes, and some rhyperiors, you should go special. There's a team with some success that I also saw being used in this ladder that is here: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tacticat-currently-5.3543017/So is a Sheer Force Steelix at all viable? I'm getting back into RU for the first time since late XY so forgive me if this is fairly obvious. I've been using one to decent success on ladder but it was pretty low down so you can get away with garbage sets sometimes.

I'm only replying this because you said it's for a joke team (otherwise I'd say don't use it).Also, I know for sure this set is trashy, but it's kind of fun for a joke team:
You BD on something that doesn't hit you, Endure the next hit, then priority Explosion for some big(ish) damage. The difficulty is getting off the BD but if you do, it actually hurts and OHKOs stuff like defensive Tangrowth, Amoonguss, Escavalier, etc.Smeargle @ Custap Berry

Unfortunately, you just missed the sign ups for this month's tutor program. Here's a link to the tutor schedule: http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/2015-battling-101-schedule.3524485/#post-6443666Where can I find a tutor for this tier? And how does the tutor system work?
Well, both are on the same level of bad, but Cinccino's Skill Link moves can be annoying so Ambipom if I had to choose. But both can be man-handled by use of a Steel-/Rock-/Fighting-type and/or priority moves because both have shit bulk.Who is less of a threat: Cinccino or Ambipom?
Tbolt Magmortar?
Or Delphox with Grass Knot and Fire Blast, which is a /much/ better Pokemon than Magmortar.XD That exactly what I've been running.... It works okay, I guess.
Specs Exeggutor, Specs Meloetta, Freeze Dry Mega Glalie, Substitute/Calm Mind Delphox or Meloetta, and Substitue/Bulk Up Braviary to name a few.Does anyone have an offensive Pokemon that can smash the regenerator core of Alomamola and amoongus, and can also take care of mega steelix?
Some of these aren't exactly true. Braviary is roared out by steelix, specs exeggutor can only really take on one of them at a time, and Glailie can't even touch steelix outside of an eq that does like 30%. I guess cm phox and meloetta would work, but I think I'm gonna run Cm/heat wave/roost/psychic siglyph.Specs Exeggutor, Specs Meloetta, Freeze Dry Mega Glalie, Substitute/Calm Mind Delphox or Meloetta, and Substitue/Bulk Up Braviary to name a few.
