I have been enjoying Keldeo a lot in this meta currently. It's completely insane with how easily it sweeps with a simple Calm Mind / Hydro Pump / HP Ghost / Sacred Sword set. Throw a little bit of rain support in too and you've got a much more deadly manaphy. Speaking of Manaphy how's everyone dealing with our pony and little pixie? I've been using Rotom-C as an effort to fill any gaping Water-type holes in my team, and it's done pretty well so far (come on STAB Leaf Storm is sweet~).

Chandelure, as always to me, is still underwhelming, not exactly sure how the council and I are going to proceed with it. It's 50/50 for me as of right now. The most annoying thing in this metagame right now is for sure Excadrill. It's manageable, yeah, but it's still annoying trying to kill Tyranitar with Ninetales or something. Hitmonlee with Normal Gem and FO can be a pretty good check to Excadrill in the sand, as long as it isn't running a Jolly nature (then you lose :(). Not to mention Conkeldurr, Lucario, Breloom, and Infernape as all solid checks to it as well.

Just throwing some things out there.

EDIT:
Secret Sword rather. Stupid similar move names
