I think Sash Exca is a bit counterproductive on the birds team since if it gets up Rocks while getting brought to its Sash, it can't spin for Final Gambit Staraptor, Talon that lacks Roost, and Sub Pinsir. I'd say drop one of the birds, i guess Staraptor since Swellow was requested, and add...

This seems like a really fun core, but out of curiosity, what are the Speed EVs meant to outspeed?

Just a quick nitpick on the M-Gyara team, but Gyara needs to run Jolly with at least 248 Speed EVs to outspeed new Megas such as Beedrill, Sceptile, and Lopunny at +1, as well as M-Manectric, all of which can OHKO or easily put you into range of practically any form of priority. You also get to...

Does it even have any reliable switch-ins?

There's a few things wrong with this. For one, Mence isn't switching into M-Aero and probably won't be staying in on one after a double down, which is what your post is assuming. Second, I'm pretty sure M-Aero isn't OHKOing M-Mence with Ice Fang. If it can (I don't know the calc for it and...

Not a single bad stat from HP to Speed, has a plethora of great and effective sets (can go mono attacking, full special, or mixed), has access to Intimidate on top of stupidly high bulk, can get rid of status with Refresh, and it has reliable recovery in Roost. It's too damn good. On top of...

I played around with it a bit and it surpassed my expectations. Its HJKs hit REALLY hard and it's STABs alone, when considering Scrappy, are unresisted. I ran Adamant w/ max speed & attack (Jolly is better but I ran Adamant since it was just a fun match and wanted to see its damage output)...

Why do you have Knock Off on Calm Mind Clefable?

- It's always been outclassed by Zard X as a Dragon Dancer, that's no reason for it to drop now because of that, it arguably got better after the Aegi & Mawile bans. Plus Mandi and Skarm are dropping in usage, which benefits it quite a bit. - It still has solid bulk without Multiscale, and it's...

Just adding to this, but Wobb's immense HP allows you to tailor it's (albeit poor) defenses to exactly what you want it to trap. Plus it can avoid 2HKOs with Sitrus Berry which is REALLY convenient. Its Psychic typing is pretty solid right now, (which is why Slowbro, Jirachi, Celebi, Mew...

Pinsir @ Pinsirite Ability: Hyper Cutter Happiness: 0 EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Jolly Nature - Swords Dance - Frustration - Close Combat - Quick Attack Garchomp @ Life Orb Ability: Rough Skin EVs: 8 Atk / 248 SpA / 252 Spe Naive Nature - Stealth Rock - Earthquake - Draco Meteor - Fire...

How the HELL are M-Garde and M-Medi ass against offense? Both Fighting and Fairy are very spammable offensive typings, and both Garde and Medi have high Sp. Atk & Atk respectively as well as very high BP STAB moves to top it off. Offense usually loses a mon whenever one of these guys can come in...

Well the Latias & Talon in that team perform different roles than the one I wanted on mine. I don't think you actually read my posts since you ignored a lot of the key things I stated and just gave a separate team with the same mons. I have no reason to run HP Fighting Lati since if I'm...

Hey CTC, this is a core I made a while back and have had relative success with and found really fun to use. Talonflame @ Choice Band Ability: Gale Wings EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe Adamant Nature - Flare Blitz - Brave Bird - U-turn - Tailwind Latias (F) @ Life Orb Ability: Levitate...

With Aegi recently banned, M-Medicham, M-Garde, M-Heracross, and even SD Terrakion got more viable. All of which put in massive work against stall. Stall isn't going to "flourish" with M-Mawile banned. It good against stall, but it doesn't solo it like SD M-Hera or Taunt M-Garde can. Something...

I would recommend Rock Slide over Stone Edge on Tyranitar since M-Pinsir can clean your team pretty easily late game if it gets up an SD. Having a 90% chance to beat something that greatly threatens your team great is better than 70%. Rock Slide also still 2HKO's Mandibuzz (which is a nuisance...

I'd definitely recommend using Scald over Surf on Keldeo. Having Azumarill constantly get free switches in with practically no risk is never a good thing, especially if it's Banded or Belly Drum. With Scald, Azumarill becomes more of a shaky check to Keldeo since it risks losing its Huge Power...

Volcarona gets Giga Drain.

I tried it on one of my alts to try it out on Quiver Dancers since I saw more of them on the bottom of the ladder than higher up. I'm around 80 on the ladder under "nastydom" last time I checked. I never took Sigi into account when I made the set but I tried it on the spot and it worked well...

Yeah, it's hard to find a slot for it. I'd personally drop Brave Bird for Haze since crippling the setup with T-Wave makes them easy pickings for another teammate from there. Something dumb, but hilarious & fun, I've been using to deal with that stupid Sigilyph set and the three Quiver Dancers...
