it's the standard zard y - toxapex set but instead of metagross and hydreigon for its second core i wanna try using mega scrafty

the idea is to set up screens with grim and infestation and then parting shot into double intimidate by scrafty.

I'm using gholdengo as the cover for scrafty but honestly I'm not sure about this gholdengo. this is my first time playing vgc and don't know anything about how to pilot this cheese man.

since i have no speed control, i ended up using scarf max special atk set with trick but i haven't played enough of it. in theory trick infestation should be really good but i want to know if there are any other options i could use
