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.
1.) How has the passing of Soundcloud rapper XXXTentacion affected your outlook on life and ability to play competitive Pokemon at the lowest level?
2.) Stoicism is a philosophy of life emphasizing acceptance of things outside one's control and rational action towards living a virtuous life, and...

I'm really suspicious of this... I don't have the proof to say he's lucky but this video seems really unorthodox in their literal team and the relative ease battling. 600 wins with...
Just in general you're weak to Electric and Poison Types. Dragonite's Earthquake is the only thing really covering those two weaknesses. Maybe something such as Storm Drain Gastrodon would help you?
Also for Scizor, Bug Bite is stronger than X-Scissor after a Technician boost. And this is...
Please understand these are ideas. All feedback is appreciated.
1.] This is just R's team with a marginally different EV spread so that there's more defense on Salamence, and of course a cool Arcanine spread I'm figuring out.
This thought of using Arcanine came because it isn't necessarily...
You don't need Protect besides scouting... you said you wanted it on Mence to safely outspeed certain faster speed tiers but gen 7 is different in that Megas now get their speed upon the turn they Mega Evolve (Gen 6 required a turn, hence Protect). As far as a replacement for Mimikyu goes, I...
I did look at all OHKO possibilities and I think those are the scariest for what I'm trying to build with. I should have added the Glalie set on the list too, that's my fault. But no way in hell am I making Silvally an Ice-type I'm too scared for that x).
I did consider this but Chansey and...
So I'm looking at every single mon with an OHKO move.
Here's the main ones I think are the worst to deal with.
1.) Pinsir-4 with Guillotine and a Choice Scarf. Hits 225 speed. In perspective, that's 3 points higher than Max-Speed base 150s like M-Alakazam... I'm running Aegislash on my team so...
For Kartana, I'm not sure why you have Night Slash listed twice.
Personally I don't like dark coverage on Kartana, but by no means is it bad.
Example:
Kartana @ Life Orb or Grassium Z
Ability: Beast Boost
Level: 50
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Leaf Blade
- X-Scissor...
Scald, Toxic, Recover, Haze is standard for a good reason. Without Toxic you're hard pressed for stalling; Water Absorb or Storm Drain users completely wall your idea because they never have to contact you in order to avoid getting poisoned. Bear in mind that Toxapex's general job is just to...
I think the A-Muk centerpoint is a really unique build but I'm worried that your team is slow (base 65+ speed poses a problem), lacks a reliable ground immunity (EQ isn't a contact move either) and opposing Poison types are hard to play against. Personally, I would lead with with something...
I remember someone mentioning the Truant durant idea that worked in previous generations. Considering benefits / problems for Singles:
Durant @ Choice Scarf
Ability: Truant
Level: 50
EVs: 240 Atk / 16 Def / 252 Spe (Not too sure on spread yet besides max speed)
Jolly Nature
