Thanks for the rate Col49.

I totally goofed on the Sucker Punch for Druddigon as I've been using it since right after I posted this a few weeks ago but forgot to put it in. SP has been very good for me and helped me get past a Durant that set up and was ready to wreck my whole team.

As for Rough Skin... well, right now I'm using him to sweep through people in 1 to 2 hits and most of the hits he takes are non-contact so the extra damage for Fire and Thunder Punch does more for me right now. I love to run RS but most people figure you have it on and play around it; therefore, they are set up for being surprised at the extra damage from Sheer Force on the Punches. Considering I plan to adapt this team as the metas come and go RS will definitely see it's fair share of playing time.

As for the rest I will try them out in the sixth slot and see how they perform on their own before seeing if the changes in the team structure is worth it (changing out Entei and Nidoqueen). Definitely been looking for an excuse to use Escavalier as nothing of note out speeds him in Trick Room and Eviolite Lampert seems like he may function well and Manectric is a good scarf user. I'll test this week and see how things go.

Thanks again for the rate!
