Apart from what's been mentioned in the thread already, I ran into an interesting, gimmicky yet effective Sceptile strategy several...

I'm going to make using Grass types as Dark Horses a personal trend at this point. I wanted Cryogonal to be the Dark Horse since this meta is so unkind to it, but either way I can still put it on the squad. Alt: TechnoAllah 86 | Leafeon | 1.26816% 13 | Garbodor | 10.48198% 65 |...
