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.
I'm surprised no one ive run into is running assurance it's made for Linked 120 move provided the first attack hits
Test fakeout
100% flinch into a switch move.
a whole team of these and you can't lose the only thing it really needs is a stick web setup.
Result of some testing
Weavile with...
Surprised Intel is not on this list it only needs one damaging attack to one hit ko and its fast enough to easily snowball.
Ive been testing serene Grace with two flinch moves though it seems even with a salac berry most of the time still too slow to abuse it proper.
double iron bash would be...
Seems your calculator is a bit off.

Your calc shows this as a 119-140% chance of a KO. But it survived and i'm 90% sure Randoms pulls from OU Sets and it does not have a defense set I know of. (Weavile vs Regidrago)
OK this is an actual bug this time right? I have no idea what caused this but I am unable to select a valid team since it's stuck on random team.

A defensive wall/setup pokemon immune to toxic is already really good. Immune to stat changes too...
Heyyy it's you. Compound Eyes mostly counters sand veil but it is a good idea. It does make me want to build a sand team if nothing else.
Good match GG.
Yeah Bolt Beak and Rend are "problematic" for the health of the game the same way Snipe Shot Swords Dance and Nasty Plot are.
Let me get on my damn soap box before yall lynch me. Hyper Offense is a problem being able to set up without fear is a problem (due to forcing them to switch or eating...
Played Two more matches today one with my rain team and one with my new Sun team.
Anti Meta seems as strong as I suspected. just having one pokemon around to change the weather to your favored type really screws with any strategy that they have
I'm unsure if this means anything noteworthy...
Just Something I have Noticed. Sunny and Rain setters are great antimeta.
I want to give a shout out to Peliper in particular while it's weak to dracozolt a major threat it completely shutdown hail and sand setters due to it's typing
