Less inactive more active at the exact opposite time mont is. However definitely my fault for not making any attempt to schedule whatsoever (would have lost anyway), so go mont!

Ok, so by the time another important tour game comes up these sets will probably be irrelevant because Sneasel is most likely leaving.
To start off for the team for game 1 I wanted to build around CB Linoone. I thought to myself what does Linoone struggle with? Ghost-types. So I needed some way to trap them, and went with Sneasel. The thing was that I wanted to lure in a couple of things with Pursuit, since band was the most common set at the time. My thought process went something like this, I come in and trap a ghost, they assume I'm CB because I just KO'd and am locked into Pursuit, bring in something for a free turn. Get bopped. Then Linoone is free to spam Extreme Speed.
Sneasel @ Dread Plate
Ability: Inner Focus
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature

- Pursuit
- Ice Shard
- Icicle Crash
Linoone @ Choice Band
Ability: Pickup
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Extreme Speed
- Gunk Shot
- Seed Bomb
- Trick
The next bit of innovation that I was going to use was Counter Jynx to lure in Pursuit Sneasel. Unfortunately Waters didn't bring Sneasel so I never got to see if this worked out. You can't use Dry Skin with Counter tho which sucks :/
Jynx (F) @ Focus Sash
Ability: Oblivious
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Counter
- Psychic
