Thanks! I've always been torn between Taunt and Toxic. Sometimes it's one on one Mandibuzz vs. Chansey, and I'm glad I have toxic. But Taunt also beats Chansey. I'll try it out.

What do think about Rocky Helmet vs. Leftovers?

well my message is kinda long so ill divide it into 2 parts

well they both have their own qualities, u can take attacks more easily with lefties and maybe status

with rock helmet, u will wear down the hard physical attackers like char x and terrakion and then u roost. Later when they are worn down or try to heal, u foul play them (except terrakion but it mostly choiced in some way and cant heal so rocky helmet will easily worn it down so predict those close combats to switch into them and wear it down and for stone edge, switch into some other pkmn)

nvm, for terrakion u have gardevoir(closecombat) and bisharp(stone edge)

and gyarados lol (my bad for the terrakion advice)

That's what I figured. When mandy has to take super effective hits or special hits, lefties makes the most sense. But since I use Mandy to switch into Flare Blitz, Close Combat, and Brave Birds mostly, I think I'll stay with Rocky Helmet.

uve made the right choice, provides even more synergy when I think bout it :)

btw how do u know me, also it looks like ur following people from the tourney room at showdown (just curious :P) if I know who u are

Thanks! Would you recommend any speed creeping, or just keep it all in bulk?

well not really unless u want to taunt gliscor or maybe pinsir before it mega evolves which is a waste of evs, but maybe just a little to outspeed venu

I've seen you on PS before; I'm duncanfinn or ontheotherside. But the real reason is cuz alexxi followed you, and you ended up in my news feed :P

lol

and heatran sometimes carries speed evs to outspeed other heatran so u can run some speed evs also so it cannot set up rocks maybe

I really don't think so but u also never know if skarm might also have some speed evs as well

pretty rare tho

Thanks. I might run 12, just to outspeed 8 ev Mandibuzz + skarm

and venu is also outsped :P, hope I helped :)

You definitely did! I think taunt will definitely help out mandy.

Do you have anything I could help with?

sorry i didnt respond, had to go but whenever i need help ill be sure to ask u :)
