Yum or Yuck - USUM PU Edition (New rule first post)

Approved by Megazard

Here it is, the gen 7 version of the best thread to ever grace PU! The premise of this thread is simple: just post a set that switches in and beats the set in the post above you 1v1. I think the original rule was something like the new set needing to be able to beat the old one at least 50% of the time (so no needing to hit two focus blasts, etc). Other than that, obviously you need to post something legal in PU, NO BRONZOR/shedinja, no focus sash, and no slashes in your sets. Please also quote the post you are replying to and don't reserve posts. I'll start us off:

Your Pokemon must be able to switch into and defeat the Pokemon posted above, not beat in a 1v1 scenario
