This was a fun season! Ended at 1625 points, which got me 6th in US and 216 overall. Seeing as how I only started playing the battle spot seasons recently, I'll consider that a success.
(At some point I think I was higher in the 1600's, but then took 2 L's and had to claw my way back up a bit.)
At the start I was running a trick room team based the one I planned to use for Ultra No Holds Barred, but I was going ~50:50 with it. Typical plan was to get trick room off with mental herb Uxie, memento, and go in to Alolan Marowak or Magearna and run through things, but the team/plan didn't seem to adapt well to the current format. Maybe it was better suited to a meta with lots of Dusk Mane running around.
I eventually switched to the following team, which I had much more success and fun with:
Got the Zeraora with cantsay's set from Blueforce's giveaway thread. Scarf lele to outspeed & threaten opposing Marshadow & Zygarde, life orb marshadow because I found sash lacked the power I wanted, defensive sub coil Zygarde with glare to provide a wall and more speed control (and to have something not too fast in case trick room went up), and of course webs Shuckle for additional speed control. I tried a few different things in the last spot, Zapdos was the one I used a couple of times and worked well. However, I didn't have the greatest Magearna match up, so I also tried AV Volcanion, but it turned out to not work out so well (including one match where steam eruption missed mega diancie and it was downhill from there). Would have tried Megazard X too, but didn't end up having time to test it out before the season ended.
Had a number of really fun matches with this team, most often using Zygarde, Marsh, and Zeraora. One of my favourite battles was this one: 99MW-WWWW-WWWS-MU5G
We both lead Zygarde, but their's was faster and got up sub while I glared, so I let them coil a couple of times while I broke the sub and then switched to Marshadow while they subbed again. Suffice to say, if they didn't know that spectral thief goes through subs, they sure do now.
Other highlights included spectral thiefing a sub moody glalie and a really close match (that I incorrectly recalled losing) against a team with a super bulky manaphy that even 2 close combats from marshadow couldn't ko. Bunch of switching between Marshadow, Zygarde, & Lele managed to eke out a win. Had a really odd match that I lost against a team of slow
poke, ditto, and Mega Pinsir. Lost to the mega pinsir because it was running aerialate
feint and so out-prioritized Marshadow's sneak to secure the win!
Here's hoping we get more seasons that allow mythicals in the future! A doubles season would be neat.
