Main issue I see is the team has a lot of fast attackers but no bulky stabilizer
Examples Milo and rotom

When you’re not positioned well the team will kept swept

that i get

ironmeadow-70 OP

And I already used garchomp for my mega Delphox team

ironmeadow-70 OP

If only Krookodile was better. It has intimidate and good stabs. I wonder what would fix it? U-turn and parting shot would help but what else

sounds like you want incineroar

ironmeadow-70 OP

No

ironmeadow-70 OP

Well yes he is better

ironmeadow-70 OP

But all the more reason I want to use Krookodile

sunnyquiver-34

maybe you could give it rock slide to give it somethinng into the opposing zard Y matchup?

ironmeadow-70 OP

Once more Pokemon release in champions, Krookodile will be more and more irrelevant

sunnyquiver-34

im not sure, it has the moves to be a sweeper but it has the stats to be a support

ironmeadow-70 OP

Yeah exactly

ironmeadow-70 OP

Stats not good enough to sweep

ironmeadow-70 OP

Not even in singles

@ironmeadow-70 Not even in singles
