[OVERVIEW]
Smoochum struggles to be viable despite its rather appealing STAB and Speed. However, due to a combination of terrible Speed, and other faster and more powerful Pokemon simply performing any role Smoochum could hope to fulfill far better such as Abra and Gastly, Smoochum is better left off of the team.

[SET COMMENTS]
With Icium Z, Smoochum is able to better threaten the bulkier portion of the tier and make use of its somewhat good STAB combination. Unfortunately, both Abra and Gastly make much more reliable wallbreakers due to their higher Speed and greater power.

[OVERVIEW]
Clarify that it's Smoochum's STAB combo that's appealing. State explicitly here as well as in set comments that it's Gastly and Abra who are the faster and stronger Special Attackers that should be used instead.

sure this is fine. you can slash LO after icium if you want. Change the name to something that's not ALLCAPS and a joke. Icium Z works.

After a quick discussion on Discord
move 1: Ice Beam
Blizzard is a better nuke than Ice Beam, and since this mon isn't really going to work, we're moving Blizzard to slot 1 and Ice Beam to a slash on slot 4.

Everything else is fine.
