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.
Defensive Core:
+
Since I've seen more players running Mawile I decided to create a core with Torkoal. First off, it should be considered that Torkoal similar to Prinplup is really great at performing role compression and this can be advantageous for the player since it gives it the...
First off, I don't understand why dropping Electrode from A- to B+ would be considered a "drastic drop" in any way. After analyzing your points I have found a few flaws. Let it be noted that Electrode only outspeeds either Huntail or Gorebyss after they've set up with Shell Smash with the given...
Electrode from -A to the bottom of B+
Let it be known that one thing that all players agree on is that Electrode's main niche is its incredible speed, bringing it to being the second most fastest Pokemon in the tier, for this however Electrode sacrifices a more diverse movepool that most...
Oh, forgot about Surf. However, even if it does, like I said. Golem, Probopass, and Crustle will not be thrown as leads leaving Rampardos to stay behind the back or switched out if your opponent's lead was not like the player predicted.
Mr. Mime from A to +A
Mr. Mime holds the place for a very good Scarf user and is provided by two spamabble STAB moves being Psychic, and Dazzling Gleam and a non STAB move being Focus Blast which hits Steel types like Probopass rather harsh. Besides this, it has access to Nasty Plot being...

Offensive Core:
+ +
At first, my initial plan was to build a core based on Ninjask and Scarf Monferno with U-Turn to assist Voltcore. But after thinking, Monferno and Ninjask would struggle against bulky Water Types that can take their hits and cripple/kill with Scald. I decided to add...
Sure, when I feel that everyone has voiced their opinion on the team I'll make the changes and give the people who helped me credit. This is to avoid the constant editing.
Thanks for the Clefairy suggestion, I can now clearly see where the team failed, and you can expect me to change Scraggy for Clefairy. The only thing I have a problem with is the moveset you suggested for Camerupt, even though it's completely viable. The reason why I run Flamethrower in the...
Introduction:
At first this team was based around scarf Sawsbuck (Its space is now occupied by Ursaring), but after testing the team several times I started to notice that there was a really big Swanna weakness that was prevalent in the team, even Rotom-F it does not like to switch into Swanna...
