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.
So I've been using latios with tera steel cm/stored power/recover/coverage(usually surf) 252spe/252spatt and it is a very effective matchup fish around the 1700s.
Idea behind the set is that it beats or helps pressure every unaware user (i do not like you skeledirge, hence the surf), while ALSO...
I understand the general consensus is that ninjask is broken/uncompetitive, and maybe speedpass as a whole is as well.
I do think there is a step in between these two things, and one with less "collateral". Ban multiple speed boosts+baton pass.
Right now a ban on '(speed boosting moves or...

Convergence Offense team that I peaked at #7 on the ladder with
Very flawed team as it has zero hazard control but for whatever reason (scream tail) people aren’t running a ton of hazards

I tried espathra early on in this generation with all of those ridiculous pokemon still running around, with the tera fairy set thats being spammed currently. It had a lot of success with simple cyclizar support. But I had plenty of opportunities to set up even without using cyclizar, expecially...
The best use I have found for Toedscruel has been as an anti-hazard solution against glimmora/gholdengo hazard stack. You dont actually proc the toxic debris since you are using special moves or rapid spin, and you outspeed and 2hko most gholdengo. But this set has been useful in keeping...
