I would like to thank my momma for always believing in me XD
Ok seriously though, while testing the team I found Defog Rotom-W to be unbelievebly anoying so yeah, Toxic over T-spikes makes alot of sens

(Why I initially gave this a Z crystal when Mew already has one is beyond me...)
I think this mon offers some decent support to the team and vice versa. Most of all, SubCM Blace helps with the stall match up. SubCM Blace + AshGren break stall very nicely. This team already handles most thing buut SubCM Blace just adds on some extra pressure to make things just that much easier. Toxapex is not a problem per se but it is defenitely a nuisance (as always lol). Lando and Bulu can 2HKO but they fear scald burns like the plague. Bulu aslo needs terrain up. Kartana needs to remove Sludge and get some decent chip before hoping to net a 2HKO with Leaf Blade. Kartana also hates burns (I'm seing a pettern here...). Gren needs to pray for like >9000 flinches to beat Pex...While Mew can OHKO, it relies on its Z-move and even that needs rocks chip for the guaranteed OHKO...SubCMe dosen't actually beat Pex, but it just adds on to the pressure this team already put on the urchin. Much like with Pex, fat steels aren't an actual problem, but they can sometimes be a real nuisance. Mons like AV Mag, Ferro, Steela and M-Scizor can be anoying cuz they can take advantage of Kartana being locked into the wrong move or force you to risk the Pump with Ash-Gren or require you to set up with Mew before hand or pack coverage to severely dent your defensive back bone making them unreliable switch ins. SubCM Blace just blows past all of these little anoyances the team has and applies a ton of pressure. I went with SubCM cuz having half your team choiced locked is meh so Scarf or Specs was off the table. Sub also helps against common counters that rely on priority to beat you (Bish, Mawile, Mumukyu). I like Blast over Thrower cuz you get the 2HKO on AV Mag and Steela without needing a boost. The point of this mon is not to be the star but rather to just help break down whatever is annoying on the opposing team so other teammates can shine. That said, Blace can also act as a win con provided the appropriate match up.
What struck me the most however is how well this team supports Blace. This might be some reverse thinking but I initially thought of Blace not because it supports the team, but rather becase the theam supports Blace just so much. This team almost seems designed to beat mons like Ttar, Weavile and Heatran. Hazard stacking + Rocky Helmet chip + Knock spam to remove lefties also helps Blace, especially since this set lacks the initial breaking power of specs.
It also completes the FWG core I guess...if your that sort of person...
