(cheeky edit on Persian bite > taunt after almost losing to cm missy turn 2)
team drops now but i'll post my thoughts on the meta later, but spdef biased Ampharos looks super valuable rn in response to Pelipper, Lapras, Drifblim, Chatot and other electrics being prominent, and for threatening para from uturns and knocks, and focus blast vs Rhydon switchins
 
Won in 3 vs Miss, ggwp!

^ gigas team kinda loses to lorb floatzel spikes, i'd do something about it before using

spikes actually proving itself extremely potent here, glalie and roselia aren't useless synergy wise and defog can be exploited (use wiggly or punish with lapras/amphy/licki etc)
 
won vs Demirab, ggs fren

quick thoughts about drops
Rhydon is super fine, just a golem with different approach. I think duggy is okay due to how frail it is and threatened by choiced mons, priority and just struggling to get in the field. I dont like drifblim presence personally since is just unhealthy sweeper even if its not consistent. I think Chatot and Shiftry are the ones to look out the most, Shiftry is too versatile and requires specific checks and scouting, and Chatot is just vile brainless boomburst spam.

Teams I used

:drifblim: :mawile: :meganium: :lumineon: :dodrio: :arbok: - CM Drifblim bo
:articuno: :sandslash: :misdreavus: :shiftry: :corsola: :arbok: - Offensive Cuno bo
:dugtrio: :chatot: :probopass: :tangela: :lumineon: :monferno: - Standard Chatot + Duggy
:ninjask: :sandslash: :manectric: :misdreavus: :lapras: :mawile:- CB Ninjask + Subtect Lapras
:roselia: :purugly: :rotom-fan: :probopass: :sandslash: :misdreavus: - Roselia spikestack
:golem: :drifblim: :shiftry: :lumineon: :chimecho: :arbok: - AoA Shiftry + cm drifblim (again)
:pelipper: :monferno: :tangela: :manectric: :girafarig: :probopass: - NP Girafarig offense

Other thoughts
Misdreavus being more consistent than drifblim is funny, old mons benefit a lot from these meta. monferno, tangela, pelipper, arbok are all still great, freeze driers are antimeta, meganium and mawile are new viable answers to common threats, jolteon is actually good and not meme
