I use these because of the free switch ins. Greninja gets a free switch in to phycic attacks if predicted correctly, Gengar is immune to ground, fighting and normal. Mega mawile is free dragon and poison switch in. Garchomp swiths in for electric attacks. Rotom also switch into ground for free. Gengar is my favorite because of destiny bond, ususally gets me two or three kills for one. dies to tyranitar because of sand storm though...

Yeah but in VGC if they have fairy types, you probably don't want to be picking garchomp as one of your three anyways. Garchomp works well against pokes that try and set up of praksters as well. Lum berry fixes most things and being ground type cant be hit with thunderwave. Hes a pretty sweet poke.

ahh i see now! thanks dude, i think im gonna keep rock slide instead of fire fang, that way i keep ice coverage but i can hit both opponents, especially with talonflame and mega charizard being massive threats in doubles
