Heya. Back at it again with monotype-outside-of-monotype shenanigans. Normally, I do ice-related things, but back when I was trying to make a poison team for a group friend in 7th gen, I had quite some fun with it that I decided to do it again in 8th gen. After a climb to 1300s whenever I get...

Ooh boy, here we go. Contacted my opponent

Calling for win by activity. Mans hasn't been online since the beginning of March.

Diancie @ Leftovers Ability: Clear Body EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD Calm Nature - Stealth Rock - Diamond Storm - Moonblast - Body Press One thing I remember fondly about some of the older VotW picks was that there were sometimes added scenarios. Maybe it's raining, and the swift swimmer is a...

Pangoro @ Choice Band Ability: Scrappy EVs: 252 Atk / 4 Def / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Close Combat - Knock Off - Bullet Punch - Drain Punch Check this out. Close Combat obviously blows through with or without choice band, and comes with the benefit of smashing something anyway...

Short list I put together on the fly. Besides the usual fighting types, Air Slash over Ice Beam hits including, but not limited to: Virizion (for better effectiveness) Ludicolo (if you want to use it up here) Golisopod Centiskorch (who is krumped by water STAB anyway, but just in case you need...

Why must you hurt me? Are you suggesting I've been playing all-ice wrong this whole time? I get the feeling most of the problems you're describing are coming from the Arcto-fossils, which have only recently returned because of lack of usage in higher tiers. Then we'd only be left with Slushslash...
