Tell me what you guys think of this video down below! Comments/suggestions are appreciated.

This team is probably the most toxic/degenerate line to use in this cup, but being the Bastiodon enthusiast that I am I decided to (ab)use this team to climb!

Shadow Dragonair has devastating matchups in the 2s, capable of completely farming down many of the common pokemon you see in this cup. Chansey is a master of being a damage sponge and winning vs basically any pokemon after Dragonair has done some chip damage. Just be sure not to switch lock it into a bad matchup! And Vigoroth is *the* staple pokemon of this cup, having neutral/positive matchups against virtually everything.

For anyone curious, here are the IVs of the Pokemon I use on this team:

Shadow Dragonair: 1/14/11
Chansey: 15/15/14
Vigoroth: 1/11/5 (honestly only used this one because it's shiny)

Chansey would benefit from being 100%, but my 98% Lucky ended up saving me a ton of stardust and only has a 1 HP difference between this and a level 51.0 100% Chansey, so it works fine for me. Also, 500+ Chansey caught/traded and still never found a 100% :\

A more attack weighted Vigoroth would probably be beneficial in order to win CMP in the mirror match (Also, an attack weighted Vigoroth also flips CMP in the Golbat matchup I believe), but I tend to use Vigoroth on this team in situations where I won't be on even energy in mirror matchups, so having lower attack doesn't hurt as much as it could in other team compositions.

If you use an attack weighted Dragonair, then there's definitely an argument to be made for throwing the charge move in the mirror lead matchup rather than shield/farming down.

If you have any other questions or feedback, feel free to leave a comment below! I'll do my best to answer them.
