  57. Normal-types: the team. Tauros's main niche over other Normal-types is probably Sheer Force Fire Blast, which gives it a good way to tackle Ferroseed and Mega Steelix, so I tried to build a team that could fully capitalize upon that. Kangaskhan is probably necessary on a Normal spam team because the team isn't going to have much defensive synergy, so having a catch-all check to offensive Pokemon is nice. Aqua Tail lets it hit Rhydon, one of the few Tauros checks that Fire Blast doesn't hit, without losing coverage on Mega Steelix. Swellow is hot as fuck, and Specs Heat Wave does tons to Mega Steelix as well. More importantly, Specs Boomburst is really strong, and double Scrappy Pokemon means Ghosts aren't really going to be an issue. Swellow also gives us another check to Serperior. Garbodor offers hazard support and a Fighting resist. Haunter gives another Fighting check and a spinblocker, and it can also lure in annoying fat Pokemon and take them out with Destiny Bond or bother them with Taunt. Fast Seismitoad gives a Fire and Rock resist, actually switches into Mega Steelix unlike the rest of the team, and beats Pawniard, which is the one main sweeper that Kangaskhan does not beat. Endeavor Seismitoad alongside Kangaskhan and Spikes support is a great way to remove an offensive Pokemon that threatens your team.
  58.  
  59. Even though the team has Garbodor and Seismitoad for some semblance of a defensive backbone, keeping up offensive pressure is really important because plenty of Pokemon can break through that core really easily. Pivot around as necessary, but focus on luring in Normal resists and taking them out in the early game so you can clean late game with half the team.
