Hi there, There is my first attemps to step in the vgc, I wanted to build a team around Lopunny and see what I can do to make it through the VGC metagame.
I am looking for two types of comments,
first the ones that help me to improve the team around lopunny
and second, the ones that help to improve the team regardless of using lopunny or not.
For now I didn't calculate too much about the ev spread because it takes a lot of time for a newbie like me and I don't know for sure what threats to outspeed, survive, or KO outside of the official top 16 used pokemon ladder...
Ferrothorn @ Rocky Helmet
Ability: Iron Barbs
Level: 50
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Def / 252 SpD
Relaxed Nature

I realy like to switch this thing into kanga's attacks and kill fairy threats with gyro ball
