  Does anyone have any tips for the special division of rating battles for season one? The rules right now are just you can only use the new pokemon from this gen. It's so limiting, and I don't want to just use the same 3 pokemon as everybody else. (Diggersby, Talonflame and Aegislash)

  I run hydriegon on my sticky web team and it can sweep a whole team easy. Not that many people run fairy on their teams and you can just get flash cannon to counter fairy types.
  
  Rock never stopped people from running volcarona.

  
  
  Huge Power Azumarill is common on a number of teams and can usually stand at least one 1x hit in most cases.

  If your swampert dies and trick room is not up, a volcarona can sweep you.

  Yeah, I'm trying to think carefully for my 6th pokemon.
  
  Keep in mind Mega-Arrgron has filter ability, so it makes fire 1x.
  
  
  Also, I don't do single battles, I mostly do doubles/rotational.

  I do doubles as well, and aggron still has mediocre spec def.

  Indeed they do...
  
  I'm still considering keeping Trevenant though, Escavalier will moe down everything that's been FC'd. Might also give Swampert Ice beam for FC synergy if Escavalier is out of commission.
  
  I wish they'd make double-style rotation battles, two pokes in front and one in the back.

  I'm running Ferrothorn and Blissey on my team, but I only have one leftovers.
  
  Which do I run left overs on? What do I give the other one? How can I get another leftover?

  Focus sash on Ferro and Leftovers on Blissey? Depends on what you want to do with them and how important they are to keep I guess.

  Your only allowed one in battle mansion/online anyways, but shellbell works almost the same.
