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.
You are really missing a point. It's not like cosmic power clef is some sort of unstoppable threat.
It isn't.
However, when the ladder is drowned with teams that have all sorts of random tech, you don't see it comming. You might sack your encore mon, because for sure my bulk up ceruledge is...
Overall, I think that current ladder is not fun to play.
People are making all kinds of random sets. Somebody might say that well creativity is a good thing. However it makes it impossible to plan your game. You get supprised by random bullshit so much, like max hp max defene glimmora, cosmic...
Because this team still sees a play, I'm posting few updates:

There is so many things going well in it:
I beat player from top30 on OU ladder
bulky Conk winning lead matchup against Ogerpon-W
bulky Conk being absolute beast agaist...
I'm going to shamelessly plug myself. One of most influential players: Blunder AKA ThunderBlunder777 made video using my team:
Turns on featured shitmon get sacked turn 2 and true star of the show is spdef skarm. And skarm+clod core.
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
Also I laughed so hard, when you said in chat that Skarm is -atk nature . I kinda messed it up.
Thanks! Well, everything Whaloob said in this post:
Is correct. I'm just going to edit post to give better EVs. Also I'm kinda wonder if +Sped nature on Enamorus...
Hi!
For a few months I've been running one team, and I think it is quite decent. It has strong matchup against many threats, despite the fact that half of pokemons are from UU. Enjoy!
