This doesn't look too bad! It doesn't look great either though-- this team really struggles with opposing Dragapult and Gholdengo, the lack of Ghost resist is rough. Raging Bolt as the only priority on a team so passive is also very scary. Even with Roar Moltres, I really worry about your Hyper Offense matchup. What are you struggling with on ladder?

Thanks! YES! I happen to struggle against Hyper Offense the most, since they often overrun my team. For instance, I just lost a game to psyspam and sun. I often times have to sacrifice my Clefable for a Thunder Wave on one of their fast mons against HO, too. My initial concept was to create a balance team with Raging Bolt, Moltres, and Glowking as the core, but I really have trouble covering this team's weaknesses.

I'd say the answer here is going more offensive. Dragapult and Clefable just don't have the power you need. I'd ditch those two, maybe go Specs on Pult, Clef def needs to go though

Ok I'll definitely go more offensive. Also on that note, my thought process would be to add a speed control mon, a Ghost resist/Psychic sponge, and a Physical Breaker so I went with a Boots SD Weavile (also put Stealth Rocks on Tusk, since Clefable is fired). The last problem is that, given Dragapult is also fired, I feel like I have exhausted the checklist for my team. What would be some last holes I would have to patch here? Thanks for the responses, it really helps out!
