Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
My Lead: :Flutter Mane:
Lead Reasoning: It wins every single match up
My Second Pokémon: :Ting-Lu:
Second Pokémon Reasoning: It's a good switch against thundurus and heatran. You might want to phase out dragonite.
My Third Pokémon: :Urshifu-Rapid-Strike:
Third Pokémon Reasoning: it does...
I don't have any authority here, but I feel that chien-pao is S tier and meta defining for regulation C. It's been way more impactful than flutter mane and the plethora of viable builds/teras it can run is a nightmare to deal with. I almost consider Ting-Lu there too because of how long it...
