Game aganst Reverb on the higher end of the OU suspect ladder. Reverb is using Tele 's very successful semi stall ladder team and I'm using a pretty meta core of Altaria- Zone - SD Gliscor that's pretty much exactly like a team CTC made except Heatran > Hippo or else Mega Venusaur + Tyranitar cores that are becoming popular on the ladder make a mockery of the team otherwise. I also carry Ice Fang on my Gliscor just to beat other Gliscor running Knock Off or Facade and it also comes in handy against Reverb's Reflect Type Starmie.
Altaria was absolutley crucial in the early game to keep his Sableye in check and keeping Reverb on his toes about a possible switch to Zone if he chose to bring in Ferrothorn. Heatran and Slowbro alike also played key roles in burning Reverb's team and forcing Clefable to Heal Bell, allowing me to slowly but surely wear it down.
I had a really hard time getting my Magnezone in on his Ferrothorn (and when I finally did he actually got a crucial double Protect and was able to stall me out while remaining healthy) but I kept counting on a possible overprediction because the momentum I lost from him just switching to Hippo everytime wasnt too bad since that just meant I could spam Scald with Slowbro.
Reverb sacking Clefable probably sealed the game because he could no longer cure his team of status, mainly burn, that I was spreading, and losing his Unaware user also meant he couldnt keep my Gliscor from just setting up to +6 and cleaning up his team.
