I know i've been on hiatus for awhile and just came back, but i'd argue that Gengarite is exactly the same as it was in Gen 6. Which is to say its an item that at very low opportunity cost it provides access to an ability universally considered to be one of the most busted of all time. Simply...

Is this a gen 6 or 7 team? My post is going to assume its a gen 6 team since you have nothing new. I'd start by cutting Pikachu, its extremly high variance without support and looks terrible on this team. I'd replace it with a Poison Heal or Magic Bounce Giratina to defend your team from Primal...

If i'm making a vaguely balanced/offensive team, is there any reason i shouldn't include at least one simple or contrary pokemon? Do i have to run unaware to check these abilities or are there other switch ins i can use? What revenge kill options do i have? I don't play AAA ubers because i'm...

its alright man gg. I could have asked to play later (and probably should have) but it was my choice to play now.

I'm completely against this btw, which is why it never happened while i was in charge. Imo there was no desire or arguments made for a retest and therefore the meta should have stayed as is. I'm looking forward to the retest and correcting this mistake.
