I think regular zam outclasses it with magic guard/life orb

>trace

magic guard probably wouldn't be better since it can't abuse life orb. what would have been the best ability for it? maybe something custom

For QR code bases: whatever is in the first three slots of your team when you create QR code/game sync
Otherwise it's just the first three in your team when you go online. Which is shit, because half the time for me that's just a Pelipper and a Linoone.

It's the consequences of being a slow, bulky Ice/Grass type. All of its problems stem from that alone, it has a decent ability and a solid movepool along with great mixed attacking stats.

Not much can be done to "save" it.
