Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Are there any plans to reimplement Battle Bond properly? At the moment it gives a +1 boost to Atk SpA and Spe upon getting a KO, has no interaction with water shuriken, and wears off upon switching
just gonna repost my Necrozma set cause it's not on the VR and nobody's talking about it, even though it's really good...

Just use !dt [pokemon] while in a Flipped battle and it’ll show the updated stats.

I know I can’t quite match any of previous posts’ detail or length, but I just want to give my two cents on why Clefable should stay.
Clefable certainly isn’t overwhelming by itself. It has multitudes of checks and counters; Mollux and Toxapex counter it if it’s not running Psyshock, and any...
sorry, didn't see this until just now. R1's technically over now, but we could probably do the matches anyway if we do it today. I'm free pretty much all day today.
I already kinda wanted to post my team, so here you go.
Importable:
Ferroseed @ Leftovers

Relaxed Nature

I am once again asking for your financial support for Chandelure -> B+
This time, with more explanation.
Chandelure is a very good mon in CAP, being a spinblocker and a wallbreaker with a very useful typing. This thing destroys Mollux like nothing else. It blocks Rapid Spin, is immune to lava...
My initial thoughts on a few mons:
Gastly is very powerful but not worthy of a quickban. Levitate means it can’t take advantage of Psychic Terrain, and its power is a little underwhelming with Focus Sash, especially because it doesn’t get any setup options.
Shedninja gets base 229 Atk and can...
I’ve been using a bulky Necrozma-DM set that turns any Zacian-C lacking SD into setup fodder:
Necrozma-Dusk-Mane @ Leftovers
Ability: Prism Armor
EVs: 196 HP / 200 Def / 112 Spe
Impish Nature
- Dragon Dance
- Morning Sun
- Sunsteel Strike
- Earthquake
This Necrozma-DM can get to +2...
There are multiple fairy-resists that don’t get trapped that have not been brought up yet, such as Chandelure, Gengar, Cawmodore, Kitsunoh, Rotom-H, and a few others. Many of these mons have a lot of potential imo, especially Lure.
Can I suggest Chandelure -> B+
Chandelure is one of the best offensive counters to Mollux, not caring about anything from it except getting poisoned and threatening it with Tricking a Choice item or hitting it with psychic. It runs over Jumbao lacking Trace and Corviknight as well as several...
