[AM]

Lost 2-0 rather unfortunate.

Lord Outrage that team you have with Groundceus, P-Don, Skarm, M-Mence, Scarf Xern, Rayquaza in the teambuilding workshop is massively M-Diancie weak and literally just keels over to any build that has a defensive backbone behind M-Diancie. I seriously think you should consider optimizing it cause granted a freeze screwed over Skarmory but it's quite frankly a very poor team with little counterplay to such a common archetype other than hoping you set up M-Sala in time and making ballsy predictions. Sorry, good luck to Regnite in finals wanted to face you.

Well sorry man but you played badly there. I mean already Turn 2 you attack a Multiscale Lugia with a +2 Stone Edge which is irrational as shown by this calc: +2 252 Atk Arceus-Ground Stone Edge vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Multiscale Lugia: 124-146 (29.8 - 35%) -- guaranteed 4HKO after Leftovers recovery
Which gets you Toxiced while Arceus Ground with Recover is the Mega Diancie counter as shown by this calc: 252 SpA Mega Diancie Moonblast vs. 0 HP / 4 SpD Arceus-Ground: 154-183 (40.4 - 48%) -- guaranteed 3HKO

You should have went to Skarmory when Lugia came in and since his Mega Diancie was not evolved you would have landed a free Toxic on something.

Please don't blame the build when you horribly misplay like that and rather try to learn form your misplays. Thank you very much.
