Testing this silly silly setup team on Showdown.
Probably should replace one of the megas for Scovillain. Still looking for a core as consistent as Espathra/Scovillain/Politoed/Archaludon, but this has been fun so far. Open for any suggestions - haven't really made any calcs and EV adjustments nor anything like that yet
A few matches:

Fun stuff
Still want to think of a more consistent core like Espathra have with Archaludon and Psych Up Politoed, this Scoli team it too frail especially as there's no def/spdef boost like Calm Mind does
Blaziken does the job better if you want a physical espathra
Blaziken does everything but better otherwise it looks like a fun team
