[SjoerdDN]

Hi guys, I'd like your opinion on this team. I am aiming for it to be a S/M VGC team. Feel free to suggest anything!

- Protect


Weather setter, bulky, Hurricane(never misses in the rain, possible confuse and stab) Scald(stab water move rainboosted, possible burn) Wide guard, in case of a trick room lead, protects from dual target moves obviously, prevents rock slide flinches to Porygon. Focus Sash to live freeze dry's and unexpected lightning moves.
