For future reference, I'll announce when the new week starts. It most likely won't be every 7 days like it was this week. And as a reminder, try to include if you think a Pokemon is worth using or not if you've used it. For week 1, I've decided that Leavanny was not worth using due to certain posts (it's outclassed by Sawsbuck xD) and Drifblim is worth using. Since I didn't ask you guys this at the beginning of the week, you can still ask for this to be changed if you want. Anyways, I'm going to steal the first mon of week 2!
Eelektross
Molk mentioned Eelektross to me last week and I've been using it ever since! Eelektross is an awesome pivot for offensive teams. It's decently bulky with 85 / 80 / 80 defenses and, of course, no weaknesses. Levitate is really good to come in on stuff like Sandslash or Rhydon and hit it with a Giga Drain. Furthermore, between Leftovers and Giga Drain, Eelektross can actually stay healthy for a good part of the match. It can also hit stuff like Escavalier and Steelix with Flamethrower, which is incredibly useful. The best part about Eelektross is its slow Volt Switch, which gives offensive teams the opportunity to get frail sweepers such as Zangoose or Durant in safely. Offensive teams also appreciate paralysis support, which is a good fourth move on Eelektross, but it can be replaced with Thunderbolt or whatever you feel like such as Acid Spray. Eelektross has amazing coverage so you can really surprise your opponents since it's not that popular at the moment. This Pokemon is definitely worth using imo. People will usually expect Coil or physical sets, but this is the best one at the moment; here's what I've been using:
