This team is super cool, I think it's a good use of the Bliss Ferro Lando core. One issue I see is that you don't really have a breaker, or any immediate power. Given that you have a pretty bulky team, perhaps you can afford running Choice Specs Tapu Lele? I recommend running Psyshock, Moonblast, Shadow Ball, and Tbolt/Psychic

Basically since Zera is good speed control and you already have a fairy bulky team, I'm not sure you need Lele to be Scarf. One more thing, Soft Sand Blaziken seems kinda wierd, only hits Pex and nothing else. I'd run Thunder Punch over EQ to hit other bulky waters and run something like Leftovers or Heavy Duty Boots. (Personally i like Leftovers here)

II thought about using Choice Specs Lele, but was worried a little bit about speed control against things like weavile/chomp/dragonite/urshifshu, especially urshifu who is probably the biggest individual threat to the build as it is. If i go Specs Lele however, I could maybe add some kind of Tapu Fini over Blissey as it checks those other threats nicely too

haha the Soft Sand Blaziken was a relic, i considered using Expert Belt in that slot to lure toxpaex with EQ, but may not be necessary as my team doesn't fear pex much.

But what I can definitely do is for Blaziken run leftovers, and test out specs lele and see how it works out

You've got a good point about Scarf Lele. You do need answers for Dragonite and Garchomp. Perhaps having Scarf Lele and replacing either Zerzora or Blaziken with a strong breaker would be a good move.

Don't do what I said initially tho. You lose hard to SD chomp with Specs Lele, I forgot about that in my initial analysis

https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen8ou-1548414491 here's a replay, the highest ive gotten on the ladder so far is around 1700 ( with sun actually lol) but typically im a mid ladder player. working on getting better!So not a high ladder replay but i think it's functioning well with your suggestions!

but i may need to look at keeping the scarf or make another change aa you said.

I can probably switch Zeroroa for something like choice specs Tapu Koko?

Well first off, if you get 1700s with sun you're a lv.100 gigachad #1 ezwinz top level player lol. Now, as for the team, there are several issues I see but honestly I'd love to work on Leftovers Blaziken + Blissey, seems like a super cool core. I can come online and work with you Saturday, how does 4:00 EST sound?

lol yeah it was with these sun teams https://pokepast.es/ac4a0c52635a9166 https://pokepast.es/0ba746aed803ff04 but it was more like a time when i was performing at 110% XD lol. Sun can be an interesting discussion

As for the Blaziken team, yeah there is something awkward about it. I like Blissey for the Lele/Pult/Blace check, i like some form of lele in there because it has great offensive synergy with Blaziken, Lando-T is Lando T, but the ferrothorn and the Zerora i think are what can be optimized somehow. 4.00 pm EST would be good!

Great, I'll cya then!

I made some adjustments and did some additional testing: this is what i have now https://pokepast.es/223df0564c1c602a. See you in 30!

I'll be a bit late, sorry. I'll be on at 4:15 on the alt "Pinkacross."

no worries !

I'll be on as Lord Xen VII
