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.
Thanks for the rate Tushar. Imma be honest, sylv would help vs Dragons but not at all with HO, with Togekiss and other big weaknesses, while I would miss out on an S-rank wallbreaker. The damage output from clef is incredibly important to this team and I wouldn't say we can afford to switch her...
Pressure is actually very good. It allows you to make moves like stealth rock run out of pp as you defog them away every time. It's also allows you to stall out Pokemon like toxapex and win the 1v1 because they only have half pp and will hit themselves with struggle sooner than you.
Im starting to get around to the idea of using iron head, despite brave bird being so good. I forgot it in the threat list but conk is a scary mon to face, and is the reason for brave bird and EVs on corv/clef. Ill try iron head out.
Not sure about twave as I feel it's better on defensive clef...

Gonna chime in on y'all hating on togekiss.
I don't feel it's much a problem as cloyster for a few reasons:
1: it's much harder to pull it off.
Togekiss often finds a place on balance, where it tends to be a conk/hydre check. Meaning it won't be able to be used as a win con every single game...
