Whimsicott is built to nuke rain/sand teams with energy ball. Worry seed turns off gimmick strategies like Perish trap/Entrain ohko, turns off things like gale wings/prankster/unburden/huge power, and can give its allies an immunity to sleep powder.
Glimmora is built to nuke snow/sun teams with power gem.
Lopunny deals with the steel types on rain and sand teams, nukes dark types that are immune to whimsicott's prankster, gives a fast encore that can hit dark types, and a fake out that can hit ghost types and deal upwards 30%hp.
Garchomp turns off the sand so it doesn't boost SPD against whimsicott, turns off whimsicott's fire weakness, turns off snow so it doesn't boost SPD against Lopunny, allows for ohko against 32hp 32+spd/def mons that otherwise survive whimsicott/glimmora/lopunny, and is another steel check like lopunny.
Mimikyu can reverse trick room ignoring fake out, taunt/encore, and an ohko.
Discord sent us an expired image link.
My problems are I don't have a clue who my 5th should be, Garchomp/Mimikyu keep ending up in situations where I can't hit anything with them, and my team is so frail that I struggle to switch around when I need to.
This is my best example so far of how the team works:

This is a good example of me REALLY needing to find my 6th pokemon, and garchomp/mimikyu needing better offense. I never would have brought garchomp if I had a 6th:

Update on the team. I compressed whimsicott/lopunny/rain dance garchomp into Chesnaught, but between wood hammer taking hp and close combat dropping defenses, he ends up taking so much damage that even my supports are putting in more work than him because they actually stay alive. any reccomendations on how I could fix that issue? Still need a 6th too.
Heres a replay showing off chesnaught getting outclassed by my support:

This shows the chad Glimmora taking out the weather teams it was assigned to unlike Chesnaught:

I test ~5 games with each update I make to the team before I say anything about it. I'll start keeping more replays. I would do more tests per update but issues keep arising before then that need to be adressed since the team is in its early stages still.
but yea I usually test with a friend, he's just busy until friday cause he's in college now so Iv'e been looking for help on discord servers.
thanks, I appreciate it
Gotchya, that would be good glimmora practice. I've only really seen rain/sand/trick room so glimmora rarely gets brought
Showdown name is TheRealBanette©®
Alrighty, give me a shout when you can. I'm gonna go to the theater in an hour so we probably won't have time later today either.
