There are pokemon with 4x weaknesses? I'm shocked.

I can see steel-types, notably Ferrothorn, stopping it cold. I would replace Shadow Ball with HP fire or at least Trick to help with that problem. Also, Earthquake is better than Aqua Tail for Tyra even if your core wasn't getting wrecked by Steels.

Drilbur isn't A because of his spinning ability, it's because he's a menacing sweeper in sand.

I feel like Elekid should be in the "Countering Sleep" section, as Static just isn't the right ability for him. Getting free switch-ins on dangerous Spore/powder users (and subsequently Ice Punching their shit sideways) is a great option in so many situations. A paralyze chance on physical...

Fly is a terrible move because it can be predicted and punished by anyone who isn't comatose.

>using fly in competitive >any year That's a whole new level of stupid.

Aaaand I just realized I was being an idiot and didn't realize you can't have Sash and Policy at the same time. Your strategy still sounds pretty risky though.

I lead Deoxys-S with a support build, and for some reason every time I magic coat a Smeargle's Spore the opponent immediately ragequits. And I do mean every time (out of the ~5 times that specific scenario has happened to me).
