Lack of strong prio is a real issue for a team this offensive, I feel like the HO matchup will be a lot of trouble.

I'm concerned about the defensive core as well, I'm not sure Zapdos + Heatran can stand up to a lot of the tiers threats long term. Stuff like Primarina and Enam has no switch-ins

I changed the team so it can tank and had some priority but I don't know if I'm mixing archetypes, I don't quite know the difference between mixing stall and HO and just making a balance team.

The difference comes down to 2 concepts: pacing and passivity. I made a video breaking down this exact thing, I'd recommend watching it:

On your team, I would say the Toxapex is out of place.

Would a flip turn spd milotic be better for pacing or is it not tanky enough to be a special wall?
