- Detect must always be used instead of Protect when it's possible, as it helps you against Imprisoners.
- Ice Beam is certainly useful to OHKO LandoT and AVLandoT after EBoost... but that's its only benefit. Protect would be a safer and less situational choice.
- Iron Head should be preferred to Meteor Mash and Stomping Tantrum to EQ.
- Why not Zen Headbutt and/or Protect for Metagross?
- Figy Berry (...or a Mega Stone) should replace Life Orb in order to take advantage of Metagross' bulkness.
- Scrafty's presence makes opponents' Lele even more fearful.
A team based only on a so frail and so predictable strategy can't face seriously built ones. You can't relay just on EBoost+BP+pew pew, as you should be able to make flexible choiches. For example a sleep inducer would be better than a Taunt user, as it doesn't need to pay attention to Mental Herb or ZTR and it would be useful even if you don't use Eevee and your opponent won't use TR; adding a Tapu to remove Electric and Misty Terrain would be nice. What about Smeargle and Lele? The first one is THE support pokèmon, while the second one is also a great EBoost abuser and a good mate for Metagross.
