@"écarlate"
Gees. It seems I've been had. I guess I should've been more specific in my post, it was only a matter of time before someone ran the calcs. Well, écarlate, I appreciate the constructive criticism, but upon second glance it seems you're right. I forgot to account for the fact that most of the people with which I have these 'recreational' battles don't have IV bred, EV trained teams. Usually, I can just pull six mons out of my boxes and win, and since most of my friends love fast, Special Attackers like Alakazam, Bisharp was a logical choice.
Honestly, I didn't run the calcs for this because it was labelled 'recreationals,' not OU, or Ubers. Guess I should've been more careful. But anyway, I didn't include Knock Off because Knock Off is only accessible by transfer, and I was going off of a Gen 7 legal Bisharp only, which doesn't naturally get Knock Off. So, yeah. That was that.
Also, that set you pulled looks like the same one featured on the Smogon Bisharp page. I wanted to steer away from that because I didn't want people thinking I was lazy and stole sets. But no, I didn't find your post rude or negative. In fact, I appreciate the bluntness. Next time I make a set for recreationals, I'll be sure to quantify it as a personal usage set only. Thanks for the analysis.

P.S. Oi, this is why I hesitate to use any of the foreign words I know. I always get something wrong...
