Just looking to see what you think about this team. Tried my best to balance it out and these are pokemons I want to keep in.

what are the aero evs for
To be tanky, but still fast
destroyed by zchomp
Yes, if the matchup favors more Meganium, I would use her
what is meganium doing here
Free will
Just wanted to keep it from a previous team
I had to remake it, but wanted to keep it
That is one of the bad matchups I can see
oh damn thought zchomp flame would kill
you wont win the trade though
zchomp would still be faster and ko your meg afterwards
cause dazzling gleam doesnt ohko
unless its single target
milo uhh run some less spatk and more in bulk
Enough to survive a hit?
to stick around long enough to coil and click hypnosis on things
at least 3 turns
I think it could
minimum 2 turns
2 minimum I could
I’ll tomorrow run some calculations
aight
Thank you for that
Ik it ain’t perfect but just wanted to give love to a forgotten soul
😔
This is what I could come up with, even without a nature that does not boost defense

Nasty Plot boosted

Here it is against golisopod

Both of them max attack respectively
The z-chomp was wrong, here it’s with nasty plot and max sp.attck

Mb, it should be 15 and not 17 on SpD
So it does not survive a nasty plot
Zchomp would just outspeed and ko you the next turn anyways
Since it can tank dazzling gleam
If you are lucky and get a crit it can ko
Otherwise zchomp is living
True, but I can protect next term or doble up with Milotic Meganium
Milotic should survive anything they throw at her
I don’t think they will doble up on Meganium unless they are sure it’s a bulky Meganium
And unless they use flamethrower, spead move, I should be fine
