Just faced an absurdly misused team core in the Global Challenge. Truly a Great Ball matchup.

Regular Goliospod that used first impression on Farigaraf, Sturdy Archaludon, Physical attacker Garchomp Z, and a Tyranitar that got an emergency exit forced switch in to get hit by their own Garchomp’s earthquake. I get being experimental, but c’mon 😭. That mega Garchomp Z earthquake barely even touched my Sneasler. I get it has a decent physical attacking stat (same as regular Garchomp) and you get a speed boost, but having no life orb makes it quite non threatening. Regular Goliospod looks cool, but it’s one of the worst Pokemon for competitive based on its ability and low speed. Sturdy Archaludon was the icing on the cake though, that one doesn’t even need an explanation. Poor tyranitar, he deserved better than watching his entire team get manhandled by just a Sneasler with rock slide.
