Who would have thought a Steel team needed a mega to be a real threat?
The Steel type is a really good type with a lot of coverage.
Aegislash's ban is useless when you can use Doublade, it is THE counter for Terrakion, Mega-Medicham and any other physical fighting sweepers.

So the Challenge was: Doublade-Bisharp, this core was great.
These are 2 wonderful Pokemon I really like to use.

First, Bisharp, as you already know can take on psychic teams alone after 1 Swords Dance, so you've already covered 10% of the metagame, which is very good.
And in case of a  Will O Wisp, just put a Lum Berry on it or make the switch to Heatran, second option is nice because you can get Flash Fire actived.
Bisharp's set is classic, so i won't say anything further.

Next we talk about one of my favorite steel Pokemon: Doublade.
Having an immunity to Fighting is great, I know, Skarmory is too here but immunity is better for say, choiced mons that are locked into a Fighting move..
It can easily take a Knock off from Bisharp and 0HKO back with Sacred Sword, which is a very useful move for many cases (Bisharp, Normal Type, Rock,ETC.).
And when you get the opportunity to set up with Swords Dance, your opponent should be afraid since they see that their end is coming XD.
Shadow Sneak is a big threat for Psychic and Ghost (especially Gengar which can be a pain for steel sometimes).

Heatran, Which everyone uses for the fire Immunity.
Mine is specially defensive with Toxic to check Volcarona. (For Example: HP Ground can't 0HKO this Heatran, Charizard-Y, ETC.)

With Skarmory, I have Stealth Rock and Whirlwind for them setup sweepers, or just to spam it after hazard stack is set up.
Brave Bird to counter fighting types and M-Loppuny, since Doublade has some issues with its Typing & Ability.

Ferrothorn, this set is kind a old, I used it for Greninja because it could take a STAB HP Fire from it.
So, it is useful against Ground & Water, 2 of Steel's weaknesses.
My set is based on Leech Seed, it forms a good core with Heatran to stall my opponent.

And for the last Pokemon, I wanted test it because I didn't get to play it much in Steel teams before: Magnezone.
Why did I use it?
→ Ballon → Sand Rush Excadrill can get rekt with Arena Trap.
Even trap other Steel Pokemon like Skarmory, Scizor, ETC.
I used it for Keldeo too, it can take 1 Secret Sword and 0HKO him with Thunderbolt.
To be frank, the only good thing I got from this challenge is that I learned how to use Magnezone well.

Being #5 on the ladder without a Mega means steel is a seriously frightning type and they don't need all the broken megas they got
(Mega Lucario, Mega Mawile, Mega Metagross, ETC.) nor Aegislash/Genesect.

People who want them in steel team are just too lazy to build a good team and are looking for an easy win.

Well, I hope you've enjoyed this RMT guys and see ya for my next one!
