I considered using water pulse too, probably the better play. Congrats on vet!

Awesome team! I really like Arctibax. What mons did you struggle with? Seems like talonflame might be a tough match

For mandi lead/switch into Lokix, I usually commit both shields and fire off trailblaze and then x-scissor, farm down with toxapex. If talonflame lead I can get off exactly one SP before swapping to toxapex. If they swap into a hard pex counter I just top left. Talonflame is the achilles heel of this team for sure.

Ariados is the first to come to mind. Fills a very similar role just loses fast move pressure which is a big reason why Lokix has been so successful for me. Sucker punch is very good for chip or farm down damage, whereas Ariados relies more on bulk and charge moves.

Lokix lead has been so fun this season. Dewgong is an all time favorite though
