Genesect is banned...
Ya I learned that today. In fact this is the first day it's banned I'm pretty sure
any thougths on that mienshao guys?
Ok i made a few changes tell me what you think now
It's not going to help the whole Kyurem-Black problem, but I'd go with Zapdos over Mandibuzz. Right now, Pinsir-mega is a huge threat until you get gyara to +1 and healthy at that. Currently nothing can survive a +2 hit from Pinsir-mega.
Zapdos @ Leftovers
Ability: Pressure
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SDef
Calm Nature
- Defog
- Roost
- Thunderbolt
- Heat Wave
This would solve (most) everything Mandi did and wall off an important threat.
If rocks stay up often when running this team, I'd replace psychic for Power gem on slowking if you're keeping him. Alexwolf has a set specifically designed for it (Requires slowking to be fairly healthy) but as it is right now, Slowking can take 2 solar beams and 2hko? With Power gem. From 50%, I'm almost certain it should be an OHKO.
Instead of Tangrowth, I would invest into unaware Clefabe/Quagsire or Ferrothorn... The reason being BD azumarill at +6 should roll this team. There's very little that can take a +6 azumarill but as it is, the issue lies in that even those things that could take a +6 aqua jet on a check are currently outsped and OHKOd with play rough. I know for a fact Slowking can't take a +6 play rough because Slowbro can't at max Def.
All three of those do somewhat decent at checking Kyub... Quagsire is kind of bad at it, but Clefable is passable and Ferrothorn is a good option.

I was running zapdos for a while and it was pretty underwhelming for me, I needed to switch it out for a phaser as that was what i used to counter azumaril, was a sturdy skarmory and whirlwind it away, if i were to run zapdos again i would need to add a phaser in somewhere so any suggestions for that?
