hiya n_n my name's Gothorita, and I'm stuck in the 90's, save me pls ;-;
So at first I was just gonna sit back and wait for us to decide what kind of FWG core we were gonna use, but then I changed my mind :> This seems like somewhat of an odd nom, but I've found Gothorita to be a pretty cool partner for SS Oma in the past. While they don't have the most stellar defensive synergy together (all it really offers is a Fighting resist, and it still has trouble combatting Gallade, the premier Fighting 'mon), Gothorita has the distinct ability to effectively isolate and KO most, if not all of Omastar's more conventional checks and counters. Due to its reasonable bulk, Gothorita is capable of switching into and setting up on a variety of Pokemon Omastar struggles to deal with (Slowking, Roselia, Clefable-ish, even standard Ferroseed gets 2HKOed at +6), finding very little trouble in getting up to +6 and paving the path for a sweep. This is particularly effective due to the fact that most SpDef walls and other such checks to Oma lack pHazing of any kind (Amoonguss' Clear Smog is somewhat annoying, but it only means that Gothorita just has to KO with Psychics as opposed to getting up to +6 '~' ), so she can basically just set up virtually unopposed. The set is fairly simple, all you do is come in, set up (while Resting when necessary of course), and then smash the 'mon. Toxic is nice since it allows Gothorita to handle SpDef Slowking no problem, since Sleep Talk is basically unnecessary considering you can control the momentum of most match-ups anyway (and if you KO a 'mon while still asleep you risk getting bad Sleep Talk pulls against the proceeding switch-in), though putting Spiritomb on a timer to Rest or something along those lines is neat too. As a plus, after completing the trap, a conventional method of combatting a +6 Goth is to nuke it with a physically-inclined breaker, and Entei is just about the most common 'mon in that role, which means Oma can grab a turn to set up right from the get-go n_n This of course makes Escavalier a minor issue, but considering how fluidly a 'mon like Moltres fits into such a build, I can't imagine us encountering too big of an issue with it.
Thanks for your time friends :]
