    Could work kind sir but I was thinking more of Thundurus + Metagross but we must test both. Is SkarmBliss server up on POv2?
    S
    Yeah Latias could work to. It matters IMO because it will discourage Earthquake and Heat Wave and having both Pokemon weak to Heat Wave (Cott) is bad for our set up.
    S
    Stupid mehanics. Latios could be a good supporting Pokemon in Whismicots place. It can Tailwind and Swagger. Resists Fire and Ground both of Metagross's weaknesses.

    Swagger raises the target's Attack two stages and confuses it. Should the target already be confused, or be protected by confusion due to Safeguard, Swagger will still raise its Attack. Pokémon with the Ability Own Tempo are immune to both effects. Because the target's Attack increases, they will receive more damage if they hurt themselves.

    Prevents both effects of swagger. No confusion=no boost. I looked at some Swagger teams now. They mainly use Metagross i Conkeldur. They usually don't set up Tailwind/TR but they support the teammate with Twave or Icy Wind (Cresselia and Thundurus)

    Opponent uses double Intimidate on Bisharp and then we boost him with Swagger. +4 gg. Is BeatUp + Justified still a good combo?
    S
    Too bad for Flatter I didn't know it was only +1. I don't see why Conkelderp needs Safeguard as it can hold Persim Berry. Scizor seems like a decent option with Protect/BP/Bug Bite/Acrobatics but Zapdos walls it and is x4 weak to fire. Defiant Bisharp looks cool but I am not to sure because of the fighting weakness. I'll try to find more good Pokemon.

    Hariyama could be good. It plays similar to Conkelderp thanks to Guts but it has Fake Out. If we end up using on of these slower mons we might as well drop Tailwind for Trick Room support. I really think Conkeldur could work thanks to Drain Punch healing it. Breloom could also work as it can sleep things that it can't kill. Another possibility is pairing Tailwind/Flatter Mandibuzz with something like Water Spout Jellicent.

    I like Suicune because of tailwind not to sure about Arcanine but you are the VGC expert. How about a Persim Berry Conkelderp. Thanks to Guts he doesnt need to worry about burns and para. Also another good abuser of swagger could be Scrafty thanks to Fake Out Moxie and Drain Punch.

    Is Gliscor any good in VGC. It shares Blizzard weakness with Whimsicott but after Tailwind and Swagger it can use boosted Acrobatics (cuz no Lum) and has a good spread move in Earthquake. Not to mention it has Hyper Cutter to stop Intimidate. Seems like a perfect Pokemon in theory lol.
    S
    Dude I need you haha. I am thinking of making a VGC team to use in Random Matchup and Battle Subway. I was thinking of a combo where one user has Tailwind + Swagger to support the other Pokemon which has Persim/Lum. I was thinking of Whimsicott + Metagross combo but they are both weak to Heat Wave. Also I want to check the rest of the metagame with my other Pokemon.

    Red Striker, post in the rulings forum. You're not a professor, nor did you actually answer the question.
