So when I heard about the new drops, the first thing that came to my mind was building an offensive team based around Sharpedo which matches with the criteria you asked for.
No problem :) Could I request something else instead, or is there a limit to this?
Thanks so much! I really like both the Drapion and the Spiritomb but I feel I'll be using Drapion more often.SlaySlenderDragon XD

Wanted to use both fairies to support aerodactyl, lure nurse with healing wish helps taking down steelix's and rhyperiors for aero and mawile swords dance passes to it, mawile actually checks some stuff nowadays which is rly funny to me. Tangrowth was added as the team's designated water resist and for breaking stall and balance teams, offerring slow, immediate power while aero helps dealing with offense. Defog flygon was added as an ~actual~ fire resist, checking delphox, houndoom and emboar, all pokemon i would otherwise lose against, as well as providing the team with u-turn which is really useful for bringing mawile, aero and tangrowth in while also helping with virizion situations, as you can scout it out with it before mindlessly throwing mawile into a focus blast. Now here's the problem, this slot has to be a psychic type check and i really want to use drapion, as it fits insanely well(enjoys hw as well as the luring audino provides, is an okay swords dance recipient, grass resist, is a win con etc) but, at the moment i don't have a fighting resist, and those are a real pain to fit into some teams nowaday, even more so on this one that already starts itself with two fairies that do not resist fighting, with that said, i do think that every pokemon on here is fairly bulky and you can pressure fighting types somewhat well, but i'm not sure if that's ideal so i just slashed spiritomb on there, i really think drapion works much better though.
You forgot the natures for Aggron and Tyrantrum.
whoopsies! Thanks for reminding me!

So OTR slowking. Decided to deviate from the full trick room or semi-trick room formula so instead I used this slowking set as a form of speed control and lure potential. Next, I wanted a slow mon to take advantage of the couple of trick room turns I have and take advantage of it the most. Banded esca is an amazing wallbreaker that can destroy common not named fletchinder, this is where slowking appears, being able to take a hit from the bird and retaliate. Next wanted an extra psychic check outside of trick room so went with drapion, standard SD set and it apprecites escavalier weakening mega steelix with drill run correct prediction applied. Next opposing water types are always a problem so went with standard SD virizion. This also appreciates wallbreaker potential.
Next, I wanted a flying resist since I find having one on every team is imperative. Also medicham (scarf variants) is a bitch to deal with (hate this mon) so I though about this slot for a while. Rotom was the choice here and it works well but with the standard set scarf medicham could bop me if weakened so... decided to dig an old XY NU goodie in scarf rotom-N. Interesting results this set provided, amazing surprise value and can catch a lot of faster scarfers off guard. This accentuates my hate towards medicham. Last, needed a stealth rock user and fire resist and rock resist. Enter seismitoad, with sludge bomb for opposing grass types like tangrowth and mega abomasnow.
Scrafty is in fact threatening but can be pressured, scarf rotom can trick and stuff.
Hope you enjoy! Any issues you can dial me up
Sorry for the delay, I'll post a team in like 12 hours or so
