Now he does.

Do you mean that Escavalier cannot switch-in Slowking? But it cannot switch-in Char or Venu or Torkoal either. Do you mean that Gligar cannot switch-in Escavalier? But neither can Slowking. What's your point?

CB Escavalier is easily stopped by Gligar, the rest is updated.

But the vast majority of the times i do not even need to use it thanks to the weakness of ground and rock to grass and the ability of King to deal with fire types, First Impression on the other hand is too valuable vs scarfed pokes in general.

You did the calculations with the wrong EVs on Cresselia but your point is valid, not allowing Salazzle to use effectively her STAB under the sun is a major advantage for the team, i just put no EVs in Spd and 96 EVs in SDef to reach 420 with the Assault Vest. One thing i do not agree is...

I hope this time i made a detailed enough presentation of my team to give you a reason to share your thoughts. Team Analysis Slowking @ Assault Vest Ability: Regenerator EVs: 252 HP / 160 SpA / 96 SpD Modest Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Future Sight - Psychic - Fire Blast - Scald...

You really like a poke and you see how strong can he be in a specific meta, don't you build a team with him? xD Team Analysis Cresselia @ Heat Rock Ability: Levitate EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 SpD Calm Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Sunny Day - Psychic/Moonblast(?) - Moonlight - Toxic I...

Team Sets; Ninetales-Alola @ Light Clay Ability: Snow Warning EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Timid Nature IVs: 0 Atk - Aurora Veil - Freeze-Dry - Moonblast - Hidden Power [Fire] Sometimes i think that a bulkier version with EVs in HP and SDef with Sub or Toxic or Encore would...

Superpower negates the Atk boost from the ability which means that i cannot sweep an entire team weak and neutral to fight as i can do with Heracross, and in general the absence of a bug physical move on a fast sweeper impacts negatively some matchups. Buzzwole in the end has only much more...

After more testing i decided to listen to your suggestions and replace Beedrill with Pinsir. Still skeptical about Galvantula but i will do some other games before posting another team.

Yes, i know it's not really smart competitively speaking to play pokes for the design alone, but i concede myself this fun xD About Victini; 252 Atk Victini V-create vs. 252 HP / 4 Def Armaldo: 244-288 (68.9 - 81.3%) -- guaranteed 2HKO 252+ Atk Armaldo Stone Edge vs. 0 HP / 0- Def Victini...

I agree with everything you said except Pinsir over Beedrill, Sticky Web on Galvantula and Max Spd Scizor. I want to keep MBeedrill in this specific team because i like too much its design and i like to play it, even if that means to not be really top tier with this monobug. In case i would...

Better to have one less move on Scizor than to play a poke useful only for that weakening the entire team overall. Dunno if replacing SPower or Pursuit with it, the first one is strong but very rarely i use it and the second one is situational but it let me get rid of some problematic low hps...

The problems of Forretress are Swampert and MSwampert which can switch-in, set-up their SR and i have to switch giving them a free hit on other pokes, this is why i need Toxic on him, to stall MSwampert while spinning his SR. I am trying Volt Switch over Gyro Ball to see if it's worth it...

I modified Volcarona because there are more situations where Toxic does not give me problems than the contrary, and most of the times +2 Sucker Punch KO Volcarona even at full health. The role of Heracross is to be a fast sweeper, there is no point on switching him with someone else who has...

This team in general works fine but i have some doubt about what can be modified to make it even better. Armaldo @ Leftovers Ability: Battle Armor EVs: 252 HP / 84 Def / 172 SpD Impish Nature - Stealth Rock - Rapid Spin - Knock Off - Stone Edge/EQ Armaldo>Forretress simply...
