  38. Notes:
  39. - Zapdos and Salamence are strong enough together that I go for an all-out offensive strategy with this team, in contrast to my previous team with defensive Articuno: https://pastebin.com/Xu8gSb6f
  40. - Scyther is an effective Endure/Liechi user by itself due to its stats and Swarm ability, but it's especially good here because both Zapdos and Salamence are in an awkward Speed tier (base 100) and really don't want to sacrifice power by running a +Speed nature. At base 105 Speed, Scyther can outspeed and OHKO all the fast Pokemon that threaten Zapdos and Salamence -- mainly Starmie and Electric types.
  41. - Salamence and Scyther team up for a fast Anabel 2 fight with just the standard Brightpowder risk on Latios.
  42. - Quick Claw Rock Slides and Ancientpowers are a big threat. Aerodactyl2 with 31 IVs can also sweep the team with Choice Band Ancientpower, but it's uncommon in later rounds.
