If that applies to Shackle you're right, I've gotten succesful set-ups off a few times though. Might just be due to low rating on my test account.

Baton Pass is almost mandatory if you're running Shackle, unless you're relying on Dugtrio. U-turn, however, makes his pivoting threatening. I personally run U-turn/Bpass/Shackle/Roost. Strategy: Initially simply u-turn, feel out their response. If it's something you can set up on, Shackle it...

Pretty sure Talonflame can 2HKO with Brave Bird anyway, and if using Choice Band has a chance to OHKO. It looks solid, esp for a 2-man core. Steel Wing is a pretty good suggestion though.

You oughta run EQ on Gastrodon to hit TTar harder.

Lucario with justified is meant to absorb dark hits in that Luc/Mlati/Weavile core. Good to see the OP actually being updated.

I love MGyara+Dragalge, but you mistyped there. It's Dragon/Poison (anti-fairy) coverage, not Dragon/Fairy :p You oughta explain how Life Orb really isn't that great with Dragalge because of how often you're forced to tank hits. It's also worth a mention that Gyara is amazing at dealing with...

You can leave a slot for Reflect and remedy that weakness.

Yeah I agree. Defog is a valuable asset though especially on an SR neutral mon and psychic typing is not bad. If anything, the biggest downside of psychic is that the steel changes makes it hard to easily cover weaknesses. Idk, would like to see her more often because all I see is CM Stored Power.

Mega Latias got a 20 point spDef boost and a 30 points Def boost. Not worth a mention?

If you have some hazard stacking on your team and a way to punish Heal Bells and Defogs/Spins (and a good Fairy switch-in), then Rest/Hydration/Twave/DTail is a decent set to run. Dragonite pulls it off a little better, though, with multiscale and instant recovery. Spread paralyze and deal...

You could run spdef Skarm to fix your Lando-I weakness

I mean, the Houndoom set is definitely gimmicky. The Shuckle set not so much, per se.

What KOs do you get on Heatran for running Fire Blast over Lava Plume? 30% burn chance baby. Also, if Cosmic Power is an issue why not fit Roar on Heatran or Latias? Looks fine outside of that.

I love the set but just saying Diancie also resists that stab coverage, not just Azu ^^

I'd recommend Toxic over Earth Power on Quagsire. The status would help you break some walls as you have no set-up sweepers. Why not Swords Dance > TSpikes on Scolipede? That might help you out a good bit too. You don't have something like Bisharp to protect your spikes, neither do you have a...

I would not consider this balanced seeing as you have only 1 wall, but cool team nonetheless. Maybe change your Greninja set to be Dark Pulse / Ice Beam / Gunk Shot / Low Kick? It's done me well, deals with Empoleon a lot better.

Eh, without CM it really doesn't hit hard enough, meanwhile opponents can do a number on you with a single crit... and unlike the CM set, they have the room to fish for those crits.

Shadow Sneak over Shadow Ball with CM? Ew. Uturn over VoltSwitch if only to stop immune switchins. I'd consider Wish/Protect on Togekiss over Roost/Gleam but that is only if you deem wishes worth it (which I think it is). Nice team.

How is it a gimmick? Because Harvest is a 50% chance? Because Trevenant is too weak? Both of those doth not a gimmick make. At least get your diction right if you're just here to criticize. I personally have found mild success and thought someone else might want to try something new or likes one...

*Shrug* try out gourgeist then. I personally prefer the repeated Harvests.
