Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Hmm. Before I engage my 12v4+4+4 Triples, I'll put 1 RC into my Monohm's MC to give it levelup Hurricane, and another in my Drilbur's MC to give it levelup Rock Slide. This leaves me with no RC left.
