This is the team as of now... My main goal was to use Victini in Gen8OU as it's one of my favourite Pokemon...

Impish Nature

The main issues I want to solve are these:

1) I don't have a hazard clearer, but the team isn't fast enough to cope with that... As a consequence, 4 of my Pokemon have HDB of which 2 are psychic, which makes my team extremely weak to knock off...

2) Landorus is my main Physical Defense Pivot and electric resist, which puts too much pressure when the opponent has multiple electric/physical attackers... It's made worse because sometimes it also needs to switch into knock offs

3) The team is a bit lackluster on Special Offense, so I want to see if that can be improved...

4) I also lack Speed control... The 2 priority users struggle against Heatran and Ferrothorn, though the latter can be managed if Victini is healthy

I want to keep the first 3 as my core... I also want a steel Pokemon and a second priority, so Scizor seems necessary... But as it is, it can get trapped by Magnezone and I can't fit U turn...

I am willing to change up the last 3 Pokemon and the items and sets on the first 3... I preferably want the playstyle to be HO, but the current version doesn't cut it...

So, if you've read this far, thanks for your patience and suggestions to improve my team are welcome...

Please read the rules carefully and look at Team Showcase to see the detail we require. PM me with updated descriptions, and I will be happy to unlock this.
