glad to see this team is getting some credit that it deserves :)))

anyway i ended up switching to roar on rhyperior because i never really used dragon tail, and to quite frank, misses really fucking sucked with dragon tail against otr cofagrigus, which seems to be gaining popularity

shaymin basically holds this team together, and as we discussed, once it goes down you have a really hard time against so many threats. i kept rest as opposed to synthesis because i found that often times when i needed to rest (mainly mid game), my opponent was already scrambling around to try to wear me down with life orb recoil, and by resting i was just outpredicting them and making them prepare for another onslaught or lose

but yeah back on the subject of otr cofag, i replaced fire punch on lax with crunch so i had something to hit it harder. cofag wont be doing a whole lot early game, but if it gets in late game when shaymin/lax are weakened you may have some trouble. i never really missed fire punch against zong, mainly because it was qwil fodder and just didnt do a whole lot in general

yeah i love this team <3_<3 good rmt good presentation 5/5 and a luvdisc
