that garchomp is very good, it holds all the damages of every timid garchomp z and shots, and outspeeds the modest ones
i love this gardevoir, and the sash volcarona works amazingly for me
i can win without too much trouble against starchu, sand, full rain, golisopod rain, psyspam, hard tr. generally the team works. my bad matchup is sun with venusaur. now, guess what won the last regional and is everywhere? exactly, sun with venusaur. i need help to fix the team just to hold its own against sun or double weather
sorry for the huge wall of text
