I'm a firm believer that Magnet Rise + Steelium Z Klinklang is the superior set as oppose to sub or wild charge, as Magnet Rise allows u to set up on mons like Piloswine, Rhydon, and sometimes lix dependant on how low it is and whether or not it's carrying roar or curse. Xatu synergies very well w klink, being able to come in against all of it's counters and checks, namely being Seismitoad and Steelix, whilst keeping hazards off the field and providing momentum throughout U-turn, enabling Klinklang to come in against common Xatu switch ins such as Cryogonal, Vaniluxe, Maudino etc. Drud + Garb was the next core that i added to the team, enabling it to act as from of hazard stack. Drud lures in mons like Whimsi and Cryo for gears much like Xatu, while acting as my designated rocker, also crippling mons w paralysis and phasing out and wearing down foes w hazards is highly beneficial for the gears, scarf phox, and whimsi. I decided to go w a more odd, offensive Garb to help my overall matchup against mons that i'm already quite weak to, with some of those being Guzz, offensive MAudino, and gettin some surprise KOs against mons like Vani, Delphox, Sigi, Samu, and Braviary, all which can prove troublesome. Next up i needed some speed on the team, especially for being hazard stack orientated, so i decided to go w scarf Delphox. Being arguably the best scarfer rn, it greatly helps my matchup against mons like Whimsi, Omastar, and Vani, also being able to spam fblast or psychic against teams w no immunities on hazard stack is rlly nice. Additionally, Delphox can easily pressure mons like Lix and Toad, causing a lot of 50/50s for the opponent to make, also being a great lead vs Froslass ho, which can be annoying towards Xatu + Drud + Garb. Finally, Whimsicott was my last mon of choice, patching up the glaring weakness of the inability to really hit bulky waters like Bro, King and Toad well, and even helping out w the weakness to Special Samu. Up until now the team was also very weak to Guzzlord, Xatu can lure it in for whimsi w u-turn and try and patch up that weakness. I went w the idea of Fake Tears Whimsicott for a number of reasons, 1 of them being to prevent Golbat from removing hazards, secondly, trying to deter Cryo from removing hazards, and overall just helping out against mons that could usually come in safely vs whimsi, such as Miltank, MAudino, non scarf Phox, and bulky Vika.
Obvioulsy the team isn't perfect, and is still weak to certain cores or builds, being easily pressured by Specs Ice Cream, and mons like Doom + Bro, but it's still a fun team nonetheless that i enjoy using :o
