This team revolves around sweeping with a garden variety Power-Up Punch Kangaskhan. A physical bulky Amounguss, max speed shuca Heatran, and bulky assault vest Landorus-T are among the jaded but powerful supporting cast. The Heatran hits a substitute number, Amoonguss lives Mega Metagross Zen Headbutt 15/16 times, and Landorus-T outspeeds neutral base 100 Pokémon. I used a fast and modest bulky Thundurus to assist against max speed Landorus-T with choice band or assault vest (both which fair well against my own landorus and heatran), as well as in thundurus mirrors. I used taunt over swagger to guarantee shutting down amoonguss for either of my mega pokemon to set up, or to ensure that aegislashes are put into a bad position. Kangaskhan and friends were the primary cast of the team during swiss and in my first top cut match.

Cresselia and Azumarill are often seen in the last slot of a team like this, but between the two I was not pleased with the matchups I would have against sand, Calm Mind Cresselia or Amoonguss with only the ability to choose one. With that, I chose a Pokemon that could attempt to find the best middleground for these matchups, a Pokemon that hits Tyranitar and amoonguss for STAB super effective damage and can take on CM Cresselias with its own CM rendition, Slowbro. The night before the event if I was going to take Slowbro I had to resign it to being the mega Pokémon I would bring to a number of important matchups, primarily several CHALK variants and sand. Thankfully, Slowbro was able to do its job and calm mind its way to victory over @Bargens’ CHALK-T team round 3 of swiss, and was my chosen mega in the final against @RoeyVGC’s sand.
