So the star of the team is obviously Snorlax, which is a standard sleep talk with curse and return,
with the bonus of 50% chance to crit after Z-Sleep-Talk.
It hits extremely hard, and it doesn't care about boosts in defense that other pokemon get.

The rest of the team is basically there to help deal with ghost, steel and rock types, or just cripple them:

Houndoom is a ghost resist and a steel resist that is also immune to prankster moves from mega Banette,
and just hits really hard. Unnerve was chosen to deal with super berries and colbur/occa varients of pokemon that usually
lose to Houndoom.

Gallade mainly chips at the opposing team, while it can sweep in the late game. Its also a rock resist (though not a good one).

Mega Blastoise is there to just deal massive damage, hopefully breaking for a sweep by Snorlax,
Gallade or even Houndoom.

Rotom is the defogger and a status abuser, and is there to check steel types mainly.

Drapion is our cleric check, and is just a fast taunter that can get you into a different pokemon
to hurt your opponent or to just rack up some toxic damage.


In the games I've played I noticed a problem with fighting types, since our resist is Gallade.

If you have a fighting type problem, how come you aren't running Zen Headbutt on it? Drop Shadow Sneak in favor of Zen Headbutt imo. That would make a great fighting counter. Also not sure how Haze fits with Blastoise. Rotom-Mow could utilize Volt Switch instead of Hex because, really, what's the point?

Also, you don't have that great of counters against popular pokemon like Barbaracle, Zyg-10, and Tyrantrum. Blastoise can utilize Ice Beam instead of haze.
