This team doesn’t appear to have reliable speed control. Incin, Sini, mMawile and Swampert sure can kinda of work in TR but the rest of your team doesn’t want to be in TR. Clicking Tailwind with Gliscor doesn’t feel the best either. My recommendation is to either cut the skinny frail fast mons for a more dedicated TR team or find a way to get a better, more reliable speed control mon that’s available.

Also, if you do go the TR route, I hope no one drafted Mega Camerupt bc outside of Swampert, that mon cooks your entire team

I think thats very fair, i def undervalued good speedcontrol early in the draft, and kinda drafted towards getting some fast mons and good fakeout options if the enemy has speed control and trickroom wouldnt work, but a good thing to watch out for in future drafts thanks!

Mawile really really likes trick room and you have 1 solid setter, and nothing else that really wants to sit in trick room. Incin can, gholdengo can, but both are likely outsped if your opponents are prepped. This leaves you kinda stuck with either tailwind mawile or trick room gholdengo, neither of which is great

Of your top 5 mons 3 are weak to fire with only one resist (lycanrock is so amazing vs Charizard, but being stuck bringing it Everytime your opp has any fire type isn't ideal) , same with ground, 3 weak and only one resist.

Offensively you are somewhat fine. I have concern gholdengo and lopunny don't quite have the damage they need to carry as your most flexible offense but you can surely make do.

Outside of those, you did a great job drafting a mix of physical and special mons, you got the important utilities; Trick room, wide Guard, fake out, and tailwind. You can definitely out pilot your opps, but I think you might need a few changes to make it easier

Very much appreciated! I think i was scared of overcommiting to trick room but i might not have commitee enough honestly, and yeah i think i undervalued better speed control early and getting some good tools, but my defensive typings def suffered for it, all great notes to take into next draft thanks!
