Wow, thanks for all the rates guys! It's amazing to see this RMT getting so much attention!
Now I'm still waiting to hear back from Gary2346 about all your ideas, so I'm going to try to handle all this myself for now. Since there are a lot of rates, I'll try to address them all at once. Clearly, the major (possibly only) flaw of this team is it's vulnerability to Volcarona. The killer moth can easily set up and sweep the rest of the team. Well, to be fair, the team has ways of preventing a clean 6-0, but the damage it can do usually is hard to compensate for.
Many of you have suggested a new defensive pokemon over one of Skarmory or Rotom-W. The problem with several of these ideas is that the replacements don't wall the same type of attackers; for example, Novaray's Bulky Gyarados is a physical wall. It doesn't want to take powerful special attacks, and without Rotom-W to take them we now become vulnerable to threats like Lati@s.
What I'm thinking may be the best idea is a reworking of the defensive core. In other words, find a new defensive core to replace Skarmory and Rotom-W. This way we can make sure to have both a physical and special wall that can deal with a wide variety of threats, and most importantly, handle Volcarona. I'm not sure exactly what two pokemon would be a good idea, and I'd like to hear Gary's thoughts on this, so in the meantime if anyone has an idea for a two-pokemon-defensive-core that would work well on this team, I'd love to hear about it. Or, if you have a better idea that doesn't involve replacing two team members, I'd love to hear that too. Keep the rates coming! We want to make this team the best it can possibly be!
