Hey! Interesting team here, but there are a few notable issues that might not make this suited for a sample paste.

First off, Life orb is not necessary on Golisopod or Lokix. Golisopod is not necessary in general, but I’ll get to that later. In the case of Lokix, it’s much better off with a Z Crystal to maximize its potential damage output, or with heavy duty boots to lean more into a pivoting role. Galvantula is almost fine, however its moveset isn’t the best that it can be. Typically you want Hidden Power Ice over Bug Buzz for coverage since bug stab isn’t that good anyway, and it prefers Thunder Wave over Toxic to slow down opposing scarfers that might still outspeed your threats under webs, such as Iron Boulder to name one. Buzzwole has the right idea, but typically you want to use it with Substitute over Poison Jab, and Ice Punch/Thunder Punch to maximize its contribution to the team. This is what I really wanted to get into, the Mega Scizor set. You really *really* don’t want to waste a slot for Defog on an offensive Scizor set. That moveslot is much better used for a coverage/utility move like Knock Off or Dual Wingbeat. Vivillon is fine to use a team slot on, but it prefers Substitute over Energy Ball to have an easier time setting up, and it wants Boots over Sash so it doesn’t take 50% on entry. As I alluded to earlier, Golisopod is not really necessary on this team whatsoever. At the same time, this team is missing a key component, that being Kleavor.

Overall this team is almost there, but it needs quite a few changes before it can be considered sample worthy.

That’s a lot better, just remember substitute on Buzzwole, as leech life has very few valuable applications.

If you ever have any questions about the tier, we have a question and answer page linked here: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ask-a-simple-question-get-a-simple-answer-ndm-edition.3710735/

Happy teambuilding!
