>>18027379This seems like a decent balanced team, but it doesn't seem suited to taking down what the Leaders actually use. I think you'd need to change more than 1 pokemon. Mega Alakazam is kinda cool with Trace, and it's natually faster than most scarfers, but I was never a fan of how frail it is. The Magic Guard/Focus Sash variant just seems better. Run some calcs. Might have to go Life Orb just to net some KOs.
Think about pokemon like: MegaGyarados, MegaTyranitar, Azumarill, MMawile, MLucario, MCharizardX, Scizor, MPinsir, MAggron, Aegislash, Dragonite, Conkeldurr, MVenusaur, Bisharp, Cradily, Torterra... To name a few. These are the the top threats you're almost guarenteed to face, to say nothing of the Champ's team. It's almost an impossibly diverse pool to strategize against at first, but you have to take it slow and be open to use weird Pokemon... Break it down, attack by attack, how you deal with all that as best you can. Realize that Sash and Scarf are very powerful and can totally change an outcome by themselves. Use status effects where prudent... Straight up attacking isn't enough.
