Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
For the Carnivine set you listed, is it okay if I put Substitute as a slash next to Swords Dance, so Carnivine has the option to use Substitute to give it some wiggle room?
Yeah go ahead. I had put that set on the market in the Reservations thread, so you're free to post and write it up. I'll move the old one when you post yours.
Thanks, and don't worry about it. Speed Creep is a very touchy issue, and sometimes it's hard to decipher, (God knows if I could tell you when something constitutes as speed creep, lol.) =)
