do you have sinischa
You won't have access to tailwind if you wanna run mono ghost so you'll need other forms of speed control like Trick room or icy wind
probably want Frosslass as a secondary mega
Ok
No i dont have sinischa
You'll need someway to take out Kingambit because duh ghost types
Probably sacred sword Aegislash is your only option
Paired with fake out Sableye to stop sucker punch although that wouldn't work if you're facing farig
it's your only option unfortunately
Ouh wait quick guard ceruledge could work in stopping sucker punch
Ok

Maybe something like this
you could go wide guard instead of iron head on aegislash
having 2 steel types lets you spam sludge wave freely
garchomp maybe tricky but fake out shadow ball could deal with it in 2 hits
you can quash and rockslide infront of charizard
or quash and power gem
rain dance to help boost basc power output
quick guard for kingambit lead and kill it with sacred sword
sneasler is not a problem
Ok thank you
