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.
Great additions!
:primarina: psychic noise also helped against Amoongus (though I didn't know at the time that it blocked giga drain), but you're perfectly right, drain kiss might have been far more useful, especially now in a meta where fairy spam is fearsome. Tera fairy AV :primarina: with...
Awesome dude! And really glad you vibed with the team! The pilot is as important (if not more) as the plane, so your performance is first and foremost a testimony of your skill growth.
If you intent on sticking with the team comp a bit longer, don't hesitate to tweak items, moves, IVs/EVs, and...
Thanks dude! Really glad you enjoyed it!
I don't know much about Circuits and I mostly play teams with mons I like design wise, so don't know if I'll be a good fit in a try hard environment.
But if I make another successful team in ladder I had fun with, I will be sure to share it hopeful in an...
First try at sharing and explaining a team I build (centered around :primarina:, :skeledirge: and :rillaboom:) :

Teambuilding process
:skeledirge:, why favorite fire starter, has been buffed with two incredible new tools : Scorching Sand, 70bp ground move with 30% burn chance as well as Alluring Voice, a 80bp fairy:move. DLC2 brought along :primarina:, one of my favorite mons as well, that got two new...
Managed to get top 20 with the same team.

:primarina: + :skeledirge: + :rillaboom:(Singer squad) is the ultimate anti-cheese combo, case in point in that game.

Worthless 1400elo game but it showcases 2 interesting concepts :
Vs :gholdengo:, blocked rapid spin --> temper flare is an OHKO. Might render balloon dengo worthless.
(I encourage all dengo haters to try it...
Its ability makes voice moves (including psychic noise) water type. But it is a useless ability as Primarina doesn't learn BoomBurst and the type change isn't accompanied by a boost.
Therefore Primarina likes to have Torrent as its ability.
What happens if the opponent boosted the previous turn but the AV user is faster than him?
Does the user get confused? (If not that would mean it would be impossible to punish a set-up from a slower mon)
Who are the best users of the new nonsignature moves?
Dragon Cheer --> :dragapult: and other DM spam mons (:latios:?)
Temper Flare --> :great_tusk: for maximum punishment against gholdengo spin block
Psychic Noise --> :primarina: guess what's psychic type immune mons worse nightmare...
