won for last round, ggs

I really like this take on Aboma lead offense. Think it has a good mix of conventional offensive strategies and some new school technology. Wouldn’t suggest many changes, and certainly nothing personnel wise. I do find Rock Slide on Scarf Chomp to get diminished returns on a team like this...

Ngl I really like the tier right now and I don’t see a huge reason to change a ton immediately. There are some Pokemon that are borderline issues like Weavile, Dragapult, and Tapu Lele, but I think they all are kept in check enough by most archetypes or their natural barriers. Maybe others feel...
