Why do people act like his Attack stat is terrible? It's 8 points lower than its SpA (roughly what, 16 points at lv100?) Considering how damage is calculated, this is a minuscule difference. That said I've had a good deal of success with this set: Greninja @Protean, Choice Band Jolly 4 HP / 252...

Has anyone put in calculations for an Adamant Mawile? My gut tells me it would need little to no Atk investment to get the desired results, and I'd personally love to put all the EVs that I can into bulk or speed, depending on what my team needs.

You may want to consider changing Blaziken out for something, seeing as he is currently banned in OU. Might be able to switch it out with a similarly built Infernape to keep it as close to the current build as possible?

Chandelure is resistant to fire, no weakness happening there. And with 145 base Sp.ATK the boost to fire damage would be pittance compared to the trapping and revenge killing utility of Shadow Tag.

As far as I'm aware, all of Forretress's common threats will outspeed it even with 252 EV, 31 IV, +SPD nature on it. So no, I would personally stick to a bulkier version.

Actually, Shadow Tag on any mons is currently legal. ST Chandelure is unreleased at the moment, not banned. And before you reply with ST being broken or something, please note that the current official ban/ubers listing doesn't even include Wobbuffet/Wynaut. EDIT: @OP: Team looks solid. Have...
