I must admit, I am surprised someone else dug up this thread. I'm grateful for the feedback, though I'm not entirely sold on the recommendations. Banded Golisopod with First Impression doesn't really sound all that smart. You're locking yourself into a move that you can only use once, meaning...

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7superstaffbrosbrawl-884924501 In this Staff Bros match, Hazard Pass did not allow Hippopatas to switch, even though that's what the move is supposed to do. I've seen similar problems with torkool's move Smoke Bomb as well.

Won my rematch against yellowfin. I believe that means I move on to Round 2.

Just waiting on you for LC UU Round 1. Did you forget to set your clocks for Daylight Savings?

I suppose I'm in. My main concern is scheduling, but as long as I can sort things out with my opponent, I don't see why not.

The problem is that Scarf Gardevoir already does that with Psyshock, and neither Gardevoir or Shaymin can safely switch into a Sludge Wave or Acid Downpour. As I stated before, Zygarde can tank one Sludge Wave or Fire Blast if it's unboosted, but otherwise, not much can switch into Salazzle...

I apologize, but I'm not sure how that's gonna help my Salazzle switch-in problem.

Sometimes, even the most powerful of beings that lurk in the Ubers tier start off small. As it so happens, RU contains two such mons, one of which is the crux of this team. This will be my second team in which I wish to explain my odd set choices, as I feel they require explanation. I also...

That much is true, and it's part of the reason I picked Zapdos in the first place. However, the previous poster Not Miyan suggested Magearna over Zap to have a better matchup against Kyurem Black. Though to be honest, I haven't been completely satisfied with Magearna's performance thus far...

I suppose with Magearna talking on the bulky check duties for Heatran, Heatran can be run more offensively. It'll give my team a Fire weakness, but I feel between Landorus, Ash-Gren, and Heatran, I'm more prepared for that. I'll give it a shot.

Well, of course. That does leave me with one last question. Both Landorus and Zapdos are now on Defog duty with this setup. I suppose there are worst things, but do you think now that Landorus is doing the Defogging I can have Zapdos switch to a more offensive Roost + 3 Attacks set? Or is it...

I see the appeal of Scarfed Landorus, and I think that would be a good fit for the team. However, Zapdos serves as a Flying resist to support Mega Hera, and I would essentially have two Ground types that have similar weaknesses and have similar coverage. I heard in the chat that I shouldn't be...
