merrypanther-88 OP

Trust me I already tried parting shot on this team and CC seems to be better. I also tried mixed at one point but Iron head on Mence is literally my only answer into Mega Glimmora and even then it's not a great one.

merrypanther-88 OP

Glimmora takes this team to the alleyway and jumps it. I hate Glimmora so much.

merrypanther-88 OP

I did all the time in Ultra Ball

merrypanther-88 OP

Idk yet haven't played a game in Master Ball yet

merrypanther-88 OP

Tbf Tailwind hasn't been clicked TOO often. Like really rarely.

merrypanther-88 OP

Good. Salazzle will incinerate them.

merrypanther-88 OP

Hey Salazzle is underrated

merrypanther-88 OP

It has single handedly swept several games and been the reason I've won a lot

merrypanther-88 OP

I've seen several instances where that woulda been the case on the calc

merrypanther-88 OP

Or wait are you talking about Sylveon? Then I dunno

merrypanther-88 OP

I've just only ever ran modesty

merrypanther-88 OP

Yes. A lot. It is the reason why I've even made it to Masterball.

merrypanther-88 OP

I cannot tell you how many times the screens saved me, nor how many rain teams I have disassembled.

merrypanther-88 OP

Salazzle also just really loves everything Sab does

merrypanther-88 OP

I do think U-turn is a better idea as well as mixed Mence. I'll try Mixed Mence for a bit and see what I think of it. But yeah U-turn on Rilla just sounds objectively better

Offensive salazzle interesting
Salazzle is a better covert cloak/sash supporter

@ivoryunicorn-80 Offensive salazzle interesting Salazzle is a better covert cloak/sash supporter
merrypanther-88 OP

Yeah but Salazzle is so meant to be a fast offensive mon instead of supportive. I needed something that countered the steel, fairy and ice types that threatened Mence and saw Salazzle and thought 'what if this could work?' and it works FANTASTICALLY

merrypanther-88 OP

Also triple fake out is nice
