So here's the thing... a lot of what you're saying is just straight up wrong here. I think you should actually try playing the meta a bit more and you'll see that in practice almost none of what you're saying here is true. Dugtrio is pretty much the most frail mon in the meta, almost everything...

Neither dug nor permanent sand are issues... both in fact improve the metagame

??? Dugtrio enables so many offensive builds that would otherwise be completely unviable lol. Also TSS is still king which does not utilize Dug or any trapper for that matter. Both Tyranitar and Metagross are generally EVd so they live an EQ from full and OHKO back. Most of the other offensive...

People may run hp grass for coverage because of Pert... many team builds will dedicate an entire team slot to eliminating skarm lol. Mag is friggin B rank in the meta pretty much solely on it's ability to smoke Skarm. Though I also feel like Mag has pretty solid damage output with a magnet and...

That gimmick can cheese you some wins sure but there are a few major problems with it.... This is the most glaring issue, but if your opponent doesn't have Mag you have a pretty horrible team build into literally any other matchup. You sacrifice so much of Skarm's utility as a wall and progress...

Alright so I speed built a team this morning trying to make a magless set up work, and I surprisingly have had a lot of success with it - managed a 31-12 record & got up to 1510 without too much trouble (67.9% GXE). I went with lead mix mence here because it does a really good job at...

Feel like the big issue with SD pass Celebi is two-fold. First of all, fitting SD/BP on Celebi means that it loses an insane amount of value as a pivot compared to more typical calm mind or defensive sets. It can't really beat much of anything by itself with that set so you have to be wary of...

i'm just struggling to see what the end goal is here for these discussions.. are you asking for yet another suspect test related to speed pass/ninjask? iirc there have been several and that's how we got to this point where bp chain teams are extremely neutered and most of the real cheese options...

It's kind of got a weird feel to it, but I've been getting a ton of mileage out of lead CB Heracross lately. Previously I had a build that I got to 1600ish with that had Mag and was actually a bit more defensive, but Magneton is possibly the most telegraphed play ever switching out of lead...
