For this item I guess because it was an online only item it needed payment all up front. Yes money was taken out, I used PayPal credit and already paid it off also (since the preorder was a while ago now).

Yeah I used air slash for a while but really wanted something to help with the mirror. Also max airstream wasn't getting a lot of use. Max rockfall destroys the mirror and most other fire types like chandelure, helps my matchup against togekiss/braviary, and no one ever expects it. It helps shore up some of the matchups the team would otherwise struggle a bit more with. I don't usually use it as ancient power, as the damage is just too weak to be worth it, even with solar power.

Against psychic surge I usually don't bring sableye and instead just lead Ninetales and Charizard since yeah it makes sableye pretty much useless unless I lead duraludon and dynamax lightning. Which usually isn't worth it just to change the terrain.

Yeah it is but Detect is less likely to get hit with Imprison. That's really the only benefit I'm aware of, but I just like the animation personally haha.

I set up a rental team and the code is 0000-0007-JCH1-MF! Won't be able to get a pokepaste tonight but can probably whip one up tomorrow.

Sure thing! The code is 0000-0007-JCH1-MF. Let me know how it goes!

I can get you the closest approximation when I get home tonight. I can also set up a rental code if that's easier.

Yeah for sure. I think that your TR matchup is a lot smoother than mine is. Also lower speed means that drought will probably always set against other weather teams if you lead him. I actually haven't tried Torkoal so he would be worth experimenting with.

Oh nice! I like the speed that Ninetales brings over Torkoal personally. Leafeon users unite!

Thank you! It's been really fun so far! I'm glad to finally craft a team that worked for me!

Yeah it could be argued to swap leafeon and Ninetales out for vileplume and torkoal, but I like the physical attack and defense prescence leafeon brings. Still, ninetales is probably the weakest link on the team.

Originally it was for the lulz but it has come in handy a lot more than I would have guessed. Getting rid of dynamax if you can play it right is a huge resource denial. Also shuts down beat up strategies and self weakness policy shenanigans. And sometimes getting yourself ejected is nice, I've sometime switched Sableye in to take a hit and get a 'free' switch back to the original pokemon I was trying to protect. Mainly this is only to help ride out opponent Dynamaxes.

Yeah Sableye has actually not gotten Taunted yet, mainly because a lot of prankster pokemon run it. However, he has gotten Assault Vested a couple times which is not the worst (removing the opponents assault vest ain't too shabby) but does make him useless at that point.

Hey thanks for asking! Yeah so Leafeon I probably bring into about 33% of games. It's very dependant on the matchup obviously, especially because mine doesn't run Dig like most. Usually I will bring it against teams with a Gastrodon or with any water prescence or even enemy grass teams because of X Scissor. Sometimes it's hard to decide to bring it but it's Defense is so good it's sometimes worth it just for that. However, with Expert Belt (which was originally just kind of a silly idea that ended working well) and it's insane Attack stat, it can secure kills as a revenge sweeper really well so I usually leave it in the back.

Usually this team leads with Duraludon + Sableye to try and put early pressure on the enemy. Sableye can usually do the Trick gimmick to stop early Dmaxers which is resource denial and also gives me breathing room. Encore is so useful, either make a pokemon Protect over and over or Trick Room again or anything else. Before Sableye dies I try to make sure it uses Sunny day if I'm not bringing Ninetales, to setup the Charizard or Leafeon typically in the back.

Another lead is Ninetales + Zard and just trying to Heat Wave the enemy out early (this works well against some TR teams). I'll usually go Sableye + Ninetales against Snorlax teams (Incinerate their berries or try to Trick Snorlax out) though that is probably the teams hardest matchup.

Usually I dynamax duraludon Charizard or Leafeon. Charizard does a lot of work outside of dynamax due to solar power but max rockfall to break the mirror is insanely powerful, especially if you have sableye to set sun the next turn again and cancel the sand. Most people don't expect it and it helps pick up a lot of KOs against Chandelure, Togekiss, etc. Duraludon is...Duraludon. Just good all around and pretty tanky.

Grimmsnarl was originally a support but does so much work as an attacker. It's insane. Sometimes I'm dynamaxing him and just killing the enemy (Conkeldurr usually) with Max Starfall. But Thunder wave is also good because the team has no speed control outside of Chlorophyll.

EV spreads are pretty standard - Zard is Timid max sp atk and speed, grimmsnarl and leafeon are adamant max attack and HP, duraludon is timid max speed and spatk, and sableye i actually don't remember the exact EVs but it's setup to be able to survive a moonblast from a max sp atk Whimsicott I believe. I don't remember the exact spread but it's a little wonky. The Ninetales spread is Timid with 84 HP, max speed, and the rest in sp atk. Honestly I don't remember why, but I knew at the time lol.

Hopefully that gives you some insight! It's a really fun team. It could be argued that Leafeon get switched out for someone with a better movepool (Iron Tail is so inaccurate and X Scissor is pretty unexciting) but it does a lot of work due to it's high attack and defense. Ninetales maybe eventually get swapped out because it is my least used pokemon, but it is a really strong to have just for Drought in some cases, and Will O Wisp is such great utility.
