I've been running this team in Master Ball tier and it worked well so far. Just curious if anything can be improved on the EV spread side of things.
torkoal should be replaced sun is the thing your team will hate the most
Something like Sylveon would work?
yeah sylveon or basculigen works to sweep in late game
you probably want something more reliable to deal with Charizard
yeah basculigen fits the most
Alright noted, thanks
This would work? Or do I need to go lower for the speed?
you're hard trick room
probably want it as slow as possible
also change the natures of your mawile and gambit to brave
yeah seems fine little more slower and more hp works
pretty sure that's the +atk -speed one
yeah i disnt see that
running adamant isn't optimal for Trick room
I use Adamant since I was worried about opposing Kinggambit & Mawile sucker punch inside trick room.
In trick room they'll out speed you if you're adamant
if you use +atk -speed they will not outspeed
Plus why even worry about sucker punch
you have farig
and both gambit and maw resist dark
thanks again, will make changes later 
maybe chnage sitrus to kasib on sinischta
or coba
Wouldn't kasib on Farig be better? Since Gambit is everywhere on ladder
kasib reduces ghost not dark
i think you can survive a kowtow if you full invest into defense with both sinischa and Farigiraf
Colbur is fine on Farig?
yeah
29hp/17def/20spd farig survives one kowotow cleave
you can definitely survive a kowtow on sinischa with full hp and defense investment
Alright gotcha
