So, it has been some time since I played on showdown, but I was bored at work and this looked fun. When I saw the pool to choose from, I knew immediately what I wanted to do. I have been thinking about an Adaptability team since daunt dropped, but never made it. This was a good excuse to make one. I started with the given Crawdaunt set and paired it with Specs Porygon-Z. Specs P-Z packs a huge punch but gets slept on this meta because Sylveon is so good right now and Conkeldurr is here now, but it fit the idea of the team and added another means to cripple mons with Trick the same way Daunt can with Switcheroo. Next up, to continue the idea for the team, Mega Bee comes in. Absorbs T-Spikes as well as allowing momentum to be gained through U-Turn into one of the aforementioned mons. Gyarados was added because it was on the list of potential Pokemon, and a physical set up mon with Intimidate worked well. Easily the weakest member tho, as far as necessity. Cresselia was a really easy toss for the team, CM Cress easily sweeps once things are weakened by Daunt and P-Z, plus its bulky enough to take hits from this teams problem mons. Lastly I throw Empoleon in because I needed rocks + hazard removal and, in case I got to test enough and found something to replace Gyara with, it was also on the list. So, that's the team!
