It got no reception cause usually the builders don't reply lol. Just thought I would let you know.Scarf Latios and Spike setter Diggersby. This is a core I posted on another thread. It got no reception which is generally not a good sign, but I'm not giving up on it, if I look bad for posting it once it can't make things worse posting again. XD Anyway, this is a core of two less than common sets designed to bluff their more frequently used counterparts. A Latios on a team generally leads one to assume there's no hazard stacking involved due to Latios's common utility as a Defogger, and hazard stack + Defog does not go well together, so paired with Diggersby, who people really don't generally expect to be a hazard setter anyway, it can mask the incentive of hazard stacking entirely as well as hold off the assumption that Latios is Scarfed which can come in very handy with revenging due to its surprising speed. The benefit of this bluff allows for easier revenge kills due to surprise factor and easier opportunities to set hazards with Diggersby's natural ability to force switches, even further enforced by an opponent who may assume you have more coverage than you do, such as switching in on a Ferro and scaring it out with Fire Punch. The typeing synergy between the two isn't bad either, mainly Latios's ability to support Diggy by effectively taking any Water, Grass or Fighting hit that threatens him and remove them, allowing the pimpin' bunny to stack Spikes uninterrupted. Ice coverage shits on this core though so it's not all fun and games unfortunately. Still, I think this pair has a chance to be very effective if used right.
