Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Thanks for your comment, urshifu being a pretty good check for weavile was a reason why it was one of the first pokemon I tried to replace zapdos-g with. I did find unfortunately that it was fairy easy to wall and chip down in the current metagame.
I probably should have expanded on this...
Introduction
Hello! I'm Duckslikerain and this is a team I'd like to share and get some suggestions for.
The team came out of me noticing how powerful Nidoking is in the current metagame and my desire to see what a team would look like that supported Nidoking to it's fullest potential. While...

Maranga Quagsire is there as a specific tool to beat Kyogre and Zapdos. While Ttar is normally a very effective zapdos check, it becomes far less effective when zapdos has support from Kyogre. Ho-oh+Ttar is quite a good core against most restricted pokemon, but you need to make sure that you can...
I first came here back in april for some advice and I'd love to hear what people might think of this team for series 10. Obviously I don't have any testing with this team yet and if you think a pokemon runs through this team I'd love to hear why. Im skeptical about the Excadrill TBH, especially...
