Thoughts:
Tbolt over eweb on rotom?
Shadow sneak to kill sash guys through protect with
Twin beam on farig?
Protect on farig?
Regenerator on slowbro (prob won’t be switching base form and taunt immunity is great)

Why do you have rain dance on giraff? Is it for scald?

Scald and counter-weather

Hi

The questions are too generic. Did you use the team and are struggling with it? Tbolt over ewe is a very difficult question to answer. One is pure damage, one is speed control. You have trickroom which is your speed control. Eweb is bit counter intuitive if you want to run Tr but you have scarf and sneasler which means you would also like to operate outside TR. so then eweb would do good. Does scarf rotom outspeed scarf bascu with adaptability? If yes then you can see if tbolt OHKOs bascu. I do not see a lot of answer to rain on your team. I guess gambit to a bit and slowbro can use the rain for doing more scald damage but I would not call it a counter. So I would say it depends on your exact needs and what you are struggling with

Is it a team that plays 15+ turn games? Yes

Does it need 3 trick room setters? As stated before, games are long and you want trick rook up all the time

Does it deal enough damage? Helping hand/rain dance farig help with damage for slowbro, and even base golurk can pick off ohkos somewhat often

Why sneasler over other fake out mons? Sneasler gets u-turn to switch out last turn 2 (with tr up), and has a super fast fake out to stop opposing fake outs from things like blastoise or kang.
