Thanks! I'll just go with Dracovish.

Can this Pokémon be used outside of rain teams? If so, what would be good partners for this Pokémon if you're basing your team around Barraskewda?

I am considering starting competitive battling again. I was mainly active in competitive battling in 2008 to 2009 and 2012 to 2013, so I know a lot has changed since then. Where would I start on making a team in USUM RU? Just pick a Pokémon from the viability rankings to center the team around...

Is there a specific reason you're using Tornadus-T over Landorus-T?

I will just make a few nitpicks. On Salamence, run Fire Blast over Crunch and change nature to Naive. Fire Blast allows it to not totally be walled by Ferrothorn and Bronzong. Always run a +Spe nature so he doesn't lose the speed tie with other Base 100 Speed Pokemon. Allocate the 4 EVs to SpA...

It's been almost 2 weeks since I've gotten help. Any suggestions?

With Leftovers, the spread is still 252 SpA / 252 Spe / 4 SpD. IMO, Leftovers is the optimal choice, as getting hurt by Life Orb damage just for using a measly Rapid Spin is kind of silly.

Starmie has Natural Cure, so poison goes away after a switch out.

I honestly don't think you understand the point. He wants to Baton Pass Shell Smash, and none of the Pokemon you listed can do that. Please read the OP before saying things.

His team is supposed to be base on SmashPass, and by removing his SmashPasser, you basically changed his whole theme. It's better to keep the strategy intact rather than changing it. And OP, you cannot in any way, shape or form use Drizzle with Swift Swim, as they are banned. Also, Gorebyss...

Your Braviary should be able to take out Exeggutor with ease. Most Exeggutor that are using Harvest are usually without sun, so Braviary should outspeed and OHKO with Brave Bird.

Yes, I do have Timid as Exeggutor's nature. Also, I just use the Look for the battle button. I don't know any high level NU players. Besides, if I were to face them, I'd most definitely lose. I will test out Gardevoir again, but I don't think it is helping at all tbh.

I updated the OP with all of ilium's changes, except I used Natu over Gardevoir. How does it look now?

I have tested out your changes, and for the most part, they are working really well! The only Pokemon that I have not found useful is Gardevoir. I found that Rotom-F is able to handle all of the bulky waters just fine (Walrein isn't too common from my experiences). I will probably use some sort...

Thank you for taking your time to rate my team. I will test out all your changes, especially the Haunter to Gardevoir change, since Haunter hasn't really been performing to my tastes anyway. Curse seems like a good idea on Miltank, so I will change that immediately. The only thing I am not too...
