Well, that's it. Let me hear what you think

[PlatinumDude]

A physically defensive spread is best for Bronzong, as this makes it a better check towards physical attackers like Snorlax (Relaxed with 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef).

Change Dusclops' EV spread to 252 HP/176 Def/80 SDef to help it take physical hits better. Or were you going for well-rounded bulk with your current spread?

[Veristical Blaze]

Dusclops was intended to be allround bulk, I'll try the change in Bronzong's set.

I'm also still split between using a team healer and not using it.. Any ideas on this?

[Veristical Blaze]

Why does nobody want to help :/ It surely can't be flawless :p

[PlatinumDude]

Apparently, your defensive Pokémon lack recovery. Umbreon should help in that case:
-Wish
-Foul Play/Payback
-Heal Bell/Toxic
-Protect
Nature: Careful
EVs: 252 HP/4 Def/252 SDef
Item: Leftovers
Ability: Synchronize
(maybe over Dusclops; idk)

[Veristical Blaze]

Dusclops and Bronzong have proven themselves quite the useful Walls and many opponents didn't know what to do with them.

I think it will be the best if I replace Flygon, he performs much worse then back in DPP. Kinda bad, since I really like him :/ Ah well. I'll try that Umbreon Set

Hey there! :]

You're Defensive Pokemon do lack consistent, reliable recovery. I agree with PlatinumDude's Umbreon suggestion, if nothing it'll give Heal Bell support for Dusclops.

Also, and this depends on whether or not you choose to replace Flygon, but I wouldn't use Outrage. If you don't want Flygon to be locked into a Choice Band, than locking it into Outrage seems a little counter productive. I mean, there's definitely a benefit to using Outrage because you just can't replicate that power, but considering the Life Orb I'd recommend Dragon Claw.

Good luck!
