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.
Hey everyone, I'm going to give a mostly disappointing answer as to why we're not using the longer BLT format.
SANJAY and everyone else who has come to us to express their concerns have made very good points. I understand it's a little underwhelming this year, but unfortunately we had some...

Rayquaza comes in with Delta Stream(inherited from Mega Ray) and then mega evolves:

I'd also like to note that Z-Moves open up a lot of options for Dragonite and allow it to blow past certain answers like Unaware Clefable.

Cool team, I haven't tried the SD Espeed version of Medicham, I normally go with the D-dance sweeper inheriting from Scrafty. One thing I might mention about your team is that if Medicham goes down at all, you will get cleaned up by Chlorophyll Breloom inheriting from Maractus. So be wary of sun...
They were really good games and Adrian did very well for his first battles in the meta. And shoutouts to Kl4ng for a very well built stall team that can hold up against some of the most powerful wallbreakers in the meta.

What is this argument even about? Ghoul King offensive pressure is how Terrakion gets in safely. Pokemon A is about to go on a rampage and needs to be dealt with. The opponent send in Pinsir to revenge kill. If Pinsir does not click "Mega Evolution" and then "Extreme Speed" there is a high...
You're right in that Hyper Offense teams don't care whether they're at 100% hp or 4% hp, but here's the thing. Banded GW users like Lando-T and Mence have priority that can take almost any mon found on hyper offense straight from 100% hp to 0% hp before they can do anything about it. Suddenly...
