Hi Asek,

Your rates are good and you clearly explain the problems a team might have and how someone might change their team to deal with them. One thing I do see is the pros and cons of the changes you suggest. In your 4th rate, you recommend a Sub Punching Breloom over his Choice Banded set, and you go on to explain that Sub Punch Breloom is a much better late game sweeper. Choice Band Breloom gives his team valuable priority, which is especially helpful when he stacks hazards with Deoxys-D. As the OP mentioned he is weak to scarfers, I don't think changing Breloom to a set without priority would be preferred, as it does seem to be his main answer to a lot of Scarfers. I think a better change would be changing the Dugtrio set to Focus Sash, as two Choice Band mons on one team does seem a little redundant, not to mention Breloom's priority is more powerful than Dugtrio's, and Dugtrio can make a good use of a Focus Sash with Rapid Spin Support from Starmie,

Your layout is very good, however I do think you could separate your paragraphs when talking about different changes of a team. It makes it a lot easier to read, without being too cramped. One thing I would suggest is to weigh the pros and cons of each suggestion, and if a change opens up more problems than before, then the change isn't worth it.

Good luck, hope I helped!
