Someone was bound to do one with nothing on the VL...

-----None of the pokemon I picked were on the VR. I only made this decision when deciding on my second mon, when I was going to run Floatzel but couldn't resist the temptation when 
WUGTRIO was right there. (Bro did nothing so I made him an Electivire.)
The team started with Komala. I genuinely tried Komala out recently, and I found it to be really good at removing hazards in the face of setters. With this Komala set, I knew I wanted the rest of the team to be some flavor of bulky offense/balance. The next slot went to a fast revenge killer, originally CB WUGTRIO but later scarf Electivire. I needed a special attacker and chose Haunter because I genuinely have to ask myself it it's relevant or not when building normal teams. Focus Blast with this STAB combo is potent, and tera fighting powers up Focus Miss and gives a dark resist. I then went Bastiodon for rocks because it's unranked and filled the right role. I chose Ursaring because I wanted some sort of setup sweeper next. I originally had Rabsca in the final slot, but the amount of times I was soundproofed or throat chopped out of Bug Buzz, in addition to the lack of immediate power with my ID/CM/SP set, led me to switch to something else. I put Destiny Bond and taunt on Houndoom because I kept losing to Coil Sandaconda, and I would rather trade with DB than have a rabsca that just dies. Houndoom was also a last-mintue change.
When playing this team, I lead either Komala or Bastiodon, either as a lead or anti-lead. Haunter is very very potent and deserves to be ranked, and I usually try break through something with it early and save it for late game. Electivire is in a similar boat. I usually go Ursaring whenever I think I have a setup opportunity against something that would totally status me, even though it usually ends in a trade at best. Finally, Houndoom is here.
Of these mons, Haunter is the best and should be on the VL and VR, Electivire was solid and may be worth a B-/C tier, Komala is not utter garbage and should be a C-tier, and I can't vouch for anything else.
probably winnable w/o missing | ignore the rabsca; im sitting there with my tera flying bastiodon wondering what my opponent is thinking
