Acrobatics on a mon holding an item? Body Press on an offensive mon with no Defense investment? 2 Fighting moves, neither of which are the good one (CC)?
I run this, but with speed for Corviknight
I havent trued Slither Wing but if i had to do something with it would be something like
I've been using a Sun team with Scarf Slither Wing, works pretty well.
I might have to try your set out at some point, looks solid! This is the one I'm using for my sun team atm
Here’s my opinion on each of the past mons, since I’ve spent some time trying all of them out.
Masquerain is also going to be the best webs setter in ZU when it ends up there because it isn’t viable. Setting up Webs sounds useful in a meta where hazards are basically unremovable, but after they’re set up you’re basically running 5 mons, as opposed to something like Glimmora or Ting-Lu that can actually function after the hazards are set.
I generally use Garchomp in my teams as general utility ( Rocks, Spikes, Dtail ). Combination of Rocky Helmet + Rough Skin generally chips more than what they can recover. As they try to setup more I phaze them out with Dragon Tail.
Slither Wing @ Heavy-Duty Boots Personally, the most reliable way to answer Annihilape is with Taunt, especially when it didn't have any Raging Fist stacks yet.
Taunt on corv is a really good suggestion, I think ill try that. Thanks.
I haven't seen any specs Toxtricity but i have seen Shift gear + throat spray, and boomburst, overdrive and sludge wave
We will have a full VR in the next week, just be patient and it’ll be all rectified
Quickdrops happen monthly to start the generation unless i’m mistaken
It just feels like preserving Pokemon is never considered whatsoever, and in a game where (quite frankly) there are a lot of Pokemon you see way too often, more variety seems like it'd be more important. You can not seriously convince me that Houndstone, Dracovish, or Annihilape are genuinely broken outside of their moves, and it'd be pretty easy when playing with friends to have a gentleman's agreement to just not use the problematic moves on those Pokemon. I completely understand that it's how Smogon has always done it and it's likely not going to change, but there being precedent for something doesn't suddenly make it the best course of action, and I'm not going to pretend like I don't think it's silly just because it isn't going to change and it's always been like that.
Reactionary is the last word I would use to describe it. It's mostly people who seem to not like the way Smogon handles bans on Pokemon that are only broken because of a specific, avoidable aspect and who don't agree with that being how it should be. Most people tend not to take "it's always been this way and we don't want to change it" as a very valid reason for decisions that impact them. I get that Smogon has an image/reputation and changing the way they go about bans after having done it this way for so long it'd be a bad look or something (another thing I think is incredibly silly), but I don't think there's anything wrong with me or anyone else having a problem with the way things are done or the reasons we get for not liking the way things are done.

variety is (most of the times good), but more pokemon available absolutely does not mean more variety in any way shape or form. look at idk adv ou, which is a way more diverse metagame than most of the metagames afterwards, which do have many more mons available. take sm on the other hand, where there are way more mons viable than in most of the other metagames, and many people think (or thought) that it was a bad metagame because of that very reason. also, variety doesnt only come in the form of more mons, sometimes (most of the times actually) it comes in the form of different sets for each mons or different team archetypes, which means variety in the way you use the same mons. and thats not a bad thing, quite the opposite in fact.
