Giga being slow I considered using trick room too but didn't do it (if this is a good idea to use lmk). It has a great atk and decent SpDef and def. This is followed by garg with lots more defense and bulk and salt cure for chip damage. Corv and Exca both having hazard removing move is crucial as there are a decent amount of the same weakness but that's ok. Exca is needed as a fast attacker while corv is used more as utility. Then Goodra and pelipper were added for some speed and SpAtk and SpD as well as covering the bigger weaknesses of fighting, water and ground.

I had 2 other potential mons to go in instead of pelipper and Goodra. They were garchomp and medicham (I was also tempted by kilowattrel but I want this for showdown and the game i play which it isn't in) so if it's recommended I can switch to them (although I like both goodra and pelipper). Also is Skarmory is better than corv I am up for switching to that too.

Any improvements or suggestions are welcome. Ideally do not use any legendary or mythical mons and ideally no Ubers either. Also if it is possible try to keep the mons mostly the same as they are now as I quite like all of em but we'll see. I dunno yet.
