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.
An RU team with banded Morpeko + volt turn shenanigans. I'm not super happy with the coverage moves on stuff so feel free to switch those out (in particular, Morpeko would kind of prefer Seed Bomb over Brick Break or Psychic Fangs and Snorlax might want an attacking move that doesn't have to...
Vote: Species Clause
Species spam teams have generally been some of the most annoying things I've dealt with in BH in both gen 6 and gen 7. I remember Assist Teams in gen 6 being largely successful due to the ability to run 5-6 of the same Pokemon and I remember annoying Mega Ray Chatter spam...
