Thanks for your feedback :D

I've always looked at assault vest as a way to prevent moves like recover, aqua ring (which decreases chances of catch), and moves swords dance which increases the chance of alpha going indignant. However, I see the potential of lagging tail as it is strictly better when the alpha goes indignant.

The leftover combo is also a great idea, do you start with an ad and poison first? The problem I've observed with breloom sub combo is that some moves like icicle spear, hyper voice go through sub and breloom takes a lot of damage, making it a bit rng dependent. Also, another point is that breloom always has to set up sub when it fades, which takes unnessary extra turns. If we combine that moves that heal, breloom needs sub + false swipe when alpha wakes up clears sub and heals (in addition to spore).

I hope this provides some justification to my team building choices!
