@markyice94 Hey, markyice94! Glad to know you are still interesting in Kili and the whole of Emolga's viability in VGC 2017. Kili herself has found success at locals. I placed 1st, and on PokémonShowdown my Emolga team is currently at ranking 1427. I've been experimenting with a few new sets, and I'm still trying to perfect the original. I'm toying around with a Tapu Koko/Electric Seed Emolga set, which let's me put more EVs into Sp. Def. I'll keep this post updated if I make it a working set. Thanks!

So I didn’t get to participate in the February challenge. But planning on using this one for the April challenge. I'm still really interested in your setup especially since you got first place! I changed the pokemon for my team details below.

I've drew a lot of resources from r/stunfisk on Reddit and a few articles from Amino although I feel like your Emolga is the most comprehesive and viable set, still working on how to play it and how to improve it or if I should switch around Pokemon. Would love your input, especially since you got first place at a local tourney!

Using your Emolga, if you don’t mind, I was experimenting with some others like a weakness policy, speed swap, even a king's rock/fling set but yours seems to make the most sense:

I don’t know if I should bring in a trick room setter or user since my team is seems to fail miserably against hard trick room teams. Like switching Muk for Snorlax as well as going more physical with a Gyrados instead of Milotic.

Thanks so much!
