(Assuming that Fini and Lando are hazard removal and Ferro as the hazard setter)
You can ask this in Viability thread. I think for a few days (still ongoing ATM) after a new slate, they will answer questions about that slate's changes, as far as the Council's thinking or observed trends that informed them.
My guess is that it's because ttar isn't on every team and with its rest dual dance set goltres pretty much threatens everything else bar unaware clefable while providing an invaluable ghost resist to check the up and rising ghost types
it's unlikely the damage calc is wrong. More likely, you dont know the ev investment of the opposing Dragapult, Dragonite with multiscale, and investment in health/defenses can be very bulky but Dragapult can be modest Specs as well.
yeah if i had to guess its probably an unusual modest dragapult
You are right, i didnt took in account the fact that Dragonite was already damaged, so multiscale didn't activate. Thank you.
There is Assault Vest Tornadus-T as well as the Nasty Plot set that don't usually run Defog
Traps common switchins like Lando and buzzwole to KO them with coverage
It’s not banned; it’s just not released, which makes it illegal this generation.
Oh, my bad. Forgot it wasn't in SwSh
Swellow typically resides in lower tiers (perhaps it would be RU or NU) as it struggles to break past Steel and Rock types. It also lacks much of a defensive profile. It is strong and can abuse Boomburst, but that’s about it.
I answered that above-Weavile is a good offensive teammate, and I think that your other choices that were stated before are good defensive minded teammates.

Baton pass passes multiple things you currently have (like substitutes or stat boosts) onto another pokemon. So imagine a banded urshifu rapid with +2 attack and +2 speed right now. Yeah.
There's a lot of different types of tournaments here and on PS. You'll find some tournaments in the OU forum (like OU Room Live Tours), but most of them are hosted in the Tournament subforum. Best way to know that a new tournament is starting is to check Smogon news on Discord as they are announced there. As for the Tournament subforum, it can be a bit hard to not get lost at first, so I would advice lurking a bit there to get more familiar with how it is organised. You can also read the tournament intro to get more infos on how tournaments are run and what their rules are.
