Examples Milo and rotom

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

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

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