I'd probably run stomping tantrum on mamo. I see the vision and I understand two immunity but neither Metagross or sneasler can eat a eq so you kinda limit yourself

quickjester-17

I'd also consider running a bulkier Sceptile as it already is gonna get boosted by rotom

zestyumber-45 OP

Should i move evs from speed more or take some sp atk down

quickjester-17

Sp atk

quickjester-17

Mine was max HP max speed +2 def

quickjester-17

But any flavor of bulk is fine

zestyumber-45 OP

That sounds actually good I'll give it a shot thank you so much

quickjester-17

No problem. Sceptile is already has behemoth spatk and with discharge boosting it no point adding points to it

zestyumber-45 OP

Do you think taunt on snealer is good for trick room or should I run like maushold or imprison sinistchia

quickjester-17

I think it's fine. Lack of fake out sucks but the farigs will not respect a taught coming off sneasler

quickjester-17

Also I'd put volt switch over thunderbolt

quickjester-17

Rotom heat has some really bad matchups like ttar or sand teams

zestyumber-45 OP

I was thinking Volt Switch over trick I never find myself actually using trick

zestyumber-45 OP

Ty for your help again I appreciate your input

zestyumber-45 OP

quickjester-17

No problem sometimes the littlest changes are what are needed. What rank/elo are you at now?

zestyumber-45 OP

Masterball 2 again

quickjester-17

Welp hopefully I can get back there I had a generational losing streak down to mb4 myself

zestyumber-45 OP

I just got back from that i went from top 2200 to 22500 it was rough
