this is your moderately fast pokemon.prankster makes this scary fast.toxic/Reflect helps you get rest off. acrobatics makes this strong when it wakes up.If your worried it wont hit just go back to sleep and use sleep talk and it may pick Acrobatics asleep in a pinch. Chesto berry allows you to sleep twice and gives you more bulk if you need it. Jolly allows it to 2HKO Needking/queen with Acrobatics

CANTHuss I do want to rate this team but if it is a UU team like you say, it doesn't have a single Pokemon that is UU by usage. I would recommend that you 1) Use Pokemon that are on the UU VR, 2) use analysis sets because AV Arcanine isn't a set anyone would use as it has access to Heavy Duty Boots, 3) Edit this RMT with your updated team so I can rate it! Thanks, and let me know if you have questions.

Ok so

A. ChoiceBand protect isn’t a thing

B. Arcanine need heavy duty boots because it’s other wise walled by spikes/stealth rock

C. You have a lot of Pokémon who have some special moves and some pshycial, stick to one and EV accordingly

D. You don’t need toxic on Flygon U-turn/DDance are just better moves to run. physical flygon with earthquake can just as effectively deal with steel types

(also when watching the replays the team keeps changing update the RMT accordingly)

here’s what I think is an improvement of the team

Flygon needs to be mixed to get through assault vest Regirock
Assault Vest Regirock is not a threat in UU, being unranked on the viability rankings. It is outclassed by other walls in UU such as Chansey.
Bounce works with when the opponent already has a status Aqua Tail can knock out gliscor and head smash can knock out flying types.
Gliscor is not in Sword and Shield as it got dexited. Bounce is a 2 turn move and the opponent can switch to a flying resist and it does nothing.
Overall this team has too many flaws and is unsalvagable. Relicanth is not even in a smogon tier, Arcanine is in NU with no UU niche. And the rest, while having Niches in UU, are too niche to be used on a team in UU. I would recommend looking at the viability rankings and sample teams to learn the threats of the metagame.
