LAWL Trick Rotom.
LAWL Detect on Assault Vest.
LAWL physical Aegis.

(Actual constructive critisism to come at a later date :D)
Oh no the detect assault vest is wrong... Thats my old set. Also, please rate :(
Dun worry bruh :) VGC is my speciality.
Most of the Pokémon that you've chosen are outclassed by another (e.g. Garchomp < Landorus)… do you want me to replace Pokémon or just improve your old ones?
Actually I have to disagree with you. I find ZapChomp an extremely powerful lead when used appropriately. Also, I looked it up on Smogon and they agree with me ;P.

Just improve my old ones please! Thanks!
Garchomp is meh this gen. He was a powerhouse in XY, though. And for future reference, Smogon isn't the premium place to seek advice for VGC. Nugget Bridge is better in that area. I'm not saying Garchomp is bad, I'm just saying that he's fallen from glory.
@ Astronautical, ZapChomp still works. Only has a few more counters.
Wait I have a question. Fake Out + Assault Vest is viable? Is it supposed to spam Fake Out?
The rest of your movesets is okay. I'll have to check your synergy later on. I feel like some of the movesets are copied and pasted straight from Smogon.
Just saying that ZapChomp has been kinda replaced by ZapDorus, seeing as their collective weaknesses actually decrease. ZapChomp work too, though. The addition of Heatran also makes checking Ice- and Fairy-types easier.
LAWL adamant nature on special aegislash! Switch it for quiet to counter t-room and stuff :P also 0 IV in speed.
Its not adamant...
^LAWL trying to lie :P Note that we can see your edit history.
Yes, but I had it set to adamant before you said that... so I'll repeat: Not adamant.
It says you edited it to modest 2 days ago and yet I commented that 1 day ago...
It doesn't matter. Its the correct one now @ Mr.Trainer29

Also a quick suggestion, have you tried a Mixed M-Chomp ?
It works nicely. Needs a bit of a Tailwind boost tho
