Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The qwilfish suggestion is an excellent one and I will definitely test it out since Poliwrath isnt as useful now. And yea the hippo suggestion is also super solid since I think ive used slack off maybe twice in all my games. Ill test out the sandslash switch to rapid spin as well. Thanks for...
Obviously with the recent ban of Doublade Ive made the switch back to Spiritomb. However with Durant no longer a threat Poliwrath can now be replaced with someone new. Ill look into a replacement and see what I can find.
Ive made the switch to doublade right now but to answer your question vs cosmic shift sigi. You just sneak it or pursuit trap it. Not to mention stoutland or slash has no issues taking it in sand at all.

Hey everyone I figured I would post this team up because NU just came out and ive already had a ton of requests from people for my team list. It has peaked at around 5th on the old and new NU leaderboards and carries about a 75 pct win rate. For those of you that know me I am DMV in showdown...
