All good points, and I forgot about the Choice Band when doing the calcs on Gliscor. Sounds good if those are the only issues that team's encountered.

You list Politoed as your only current threat. However, have you considered Gliscor? Of course, it takes a lot from V-Create in the sun, but it can live one, a unique quality. If a player can set up a sub predicting a switch into either Ninetales or Victini, or predict a Bolt Strike, you've got...

I'm not the guy who's against Dragons (I think it's fairly ridiculous to hate one type because of it's prevalence), but wouldn't it be at the very least interesting to have a type immune to Dragon? In that aspect, Fairy type would be cool. Although, as was pointed out, in concept Fairy/Ground...

I like seeing Tornadus hopping back up in usage statistics a bit. I use him a lot, and often times to great effect, but at the same time it's all too apparent as to why he dropped in the first place. Just so hard to keep alive, and so needy in terms of support. If you're using him, better pack a...

Okay, thanks for the advice. My application of this team has been over Nintendo Random Battles, which may not be an effective proving ground, even though I've had success there. I'll take that advice, and thanks for being honest!

Just Add Cacti: A VGC RMT The Team: Team Building: Not much happened in this phase, except for me swapping out Landorus-T for Landorus. While it is useful to have Intimidate on a team, I realized that my crippling lack of Special Attackers would make my team shake in...
