Well the last round was not exactly exciting, so lets talk about the match more generally!
Mamo's sneasler with enigma berry continues to be a poweful opener. Between the berry and the fake out I do not think it is possible to se damage pressure this opening, and the general answer is probably to try and safely enter the field and set up for a strong second order on round 2. protect vs fake out, and set up moves or non se attacks feel like they should be good. Enigma berry is much less scary if sneasler has to stay in to gain value from it (since they cannot immediately swap out and take a new item.)
If you want to use a charging move, you must sub for multi hit attacks or confirm the opponent does not know them.
I guess this is duo's sub related nemesis, like Mamo has his evasive blow outs.
For round 3 if you want to stay in as a clefable vs sneasler you have to be willing to look for second order blow outs, since by default the poison mon is going to evicerate the fairy. At least check the common outs. Evasives, move disruption, physical/special returning moves and combinations.
After that it was mostly clean up.
Thanks for playing and reffing guys, I hope you all had fun!
