    Has anyone successfully used a safeswagger set? I am starting to think that my battle style is falling flat and Im not sure if I should add something to it or scrap all together. Considering I only have 11 days till regionals not sure if scrapping is the best idea with nothing to fall on. Took me couple months just to figure this out.


    Lead: Prank Meow with Lum Garchomp. Originally Depending on who i faced I would either swagger right away and burn the lum for hardest hitting first attack or Protect Chomp and safeguard the team and then proceed to swagger Chomp. Currently I lead with Protect Mawile w/o Mega evolving. Depending on the look I will take my Banded Chomp and switch with Mawile while safeguard is in place and hit swagger on banded Chomp for extra sweeping power

    I'm not very familiar with your strategy but I have a question.

    I understand the 0 Atk IV on Meowstick but I noticed the only other specified IV are the 3 SAtk IV on Garchomp. What is the purpose of this and why is it specified?
