It determines the name by looking at the ability as well as the move set.Are the bugs with nicknames fixed? How does Showdown determine which nickname to choose?

Right, I know. But I know there were issues at some point with what donors were allowed and how Showdown determines which donor to choose. Does Showdown choose the first Pokemon in the dex that matches, or does it pick one at random?It determines the name by looking at the ability as well as the move set.
No, but you can't run Poison Heal and Defog on the same set if that's your issue.Is gliscor banned?

Use Staraptor over Mew for bulky defog, unless HB is really needed (and it does slightly conflict with PH):Chansey @ Eviolite

i am seeing a bulky defog with access to u-turn and recovery, and i see those on mew, so with combining Chansey bulk, this defogger is going to live long. i use Comatose Chansey before with using rapid spin, but walled by Ghost types losing so much momentum.
yeah, i considered that before, but i realized heal bell give important support when Snorlax getting "False" status. Inheriting from mew also can be a thing because unpredictability factor such as they can see this Chansey carries Transform (when actually not, but you deceiving people for momentum).Use Staraptor over Mew for bulky defog, unless HB is really needed (and it does slightly conflict with PH):

Intimidate is really good.
No, it can easily be countered. For instance, by Scarf Skill Link Kartana. The difficulty is finding a counter that can do more than just counter Pheromosa.Can you look into banning pheromosa. This Mon with kecleon's protean and movepool is uncounterable and very restrictive on team-building.
I played 5 games and every single person had a pheromosa (4 kecleon and 1 mienshao). It made me want to stop playing this OM and just wait until March instead.
That's not what "counter" means. Counter means switching into something repeatedly and either KOing it, forcing it out, or stalling it out. Kartana doesn't switch into non-resisted hits, or even resisted special hits. Scarf Kartana is a revenge killer. Anything with 85+ Speed and a Scarf can revenge kill Pheromosa. Anything with neutral or SE priority can revenge kill Pheromosas without Queenly Majesty outside of Psychic Terrain. Protean Pheromosa does have actual counters, but offense is pretty much limited to revenge killing or trying to keep up screens/their speed control of choice. And naturally, counterplay to Protean can easily keel over to other good Pheromosa sets.No, it can easily be countered. For instance, by Scarf Skill Link Kartana. The difficulty is finding a counter that can do more than just counter Pheromosa.
That is only a check. Nothing safely switches in on it.No, it can easily be countered. For instance, by Scarf Skill Link Kartana. The difficulty is finding a counter that can do more than just counter Pheromosa.
What you could do is slow pivot from your tank to a priority abuser (for example: Lucario -> Pinsir-Mega) and kill it due to its pitiful defenses. You could also run a Focus Sash on one of your sweepers and retaliate.That is only a check. Nothing safely switches in on it.
