  • Clefable is currently OU. This means you'll have to make do with something else as your Stealth Rock setter, like Cobalion or Necrozma:

    Cobalion:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Iron Head
    -Close Combat
    -Volt Switch/Swords Dance/Taunt
    Nature: Jolly
    EVs: 252 Atk/4 SDef/252 Spe
    Item: Shuca Berry/Leftovers

    Necrozma:
    -Stealth Rock
    -Photon Geyser
    -Heat Wave
    -Knock Off
    Nature: Timid
    EVs: 248 HP/8 SAtk/252 Spe
    Item: Leftovers

    As for a new Fairy Pokemon on the team, you'll have to make do with Florges, as it can provide Defog support for Minior:
    -Moonblast
    -Synthesis
    -Wish/Defog
    -Aromatherapy/Hidden Power (Fire)/Defog
    Nature: Bold
    EVs: 252 HP/252 Def/4 SDef
    Item: Leftovers

    Now that Decidueye has Shadow Sneak, I don't see much of a reason for Sucker Punch to be used, as it has lower PP and relies on the opponent about to use an offensive attack.

    I'm playing Sun, so i can't get Shadow Sneak for Decidueye. I'm not crazy about using Cobalion or Necrozma in my team
