@Marcusube, don't just tell him what to do. Make suggestions, not commands. Also, care to explain why he should change Gardevoir and Rotoms to those sets? His look just fine to me.
Don't want to come off as rude, but I HATE when people do this kind of thing.

My point being that focus sash is a good Idea but maybe invest it in something else and build whimsicott something like this

( Oh yeah throwing tailwind in there somewhere probably isn't a bad idea

In no way did I COMMAND him to use my sets, he asked for help so I posted sets which he could consider using. If he has a problem with my suggestions, let him speak.

Not bad and you're actually right about the whole using 252 HP EVs since Whimsicott is so fragile. Also the suggested set I gave you for Gardevoir was to take advantage of Tailwind. See running a max speed Gardevoir is not ideal seeing as how there are faster Pokemon which can OHKO it such as Garchomp, Landorus-T and Mega Kang (if it wins the speed tie)

My point was that instead of saying "This might be a good idea," you straight up built an entire team for him without explanation.

This is personal preference, but I actually prefer Rotom-H as more offensive with Life Orb and modest nature. Rotom-W is better defensive because it's only weakness is grass.
