There isn't much point i suppose, sometimes I forget what moves are all available to use

Aaron said:

It's entirely up to you - these sets do not have to make sense! If you use X-Scissor, I will use X-Scissor!

I changed it to Bug Bite, i definitely prefer that move over X-Scissor

And I know, AV Tapu FIni for the win!
