So I have a few problems. 1, dragapult is walled by ferrothorn and magnezone. 2, cinderace is walled by toxapex. Cinderace I can just switch but if it's a 1 v 1, not so good. Dragapult on the other hand it's main role is to either revenge kill with sucker punch or kill things that have sash, bit also to set up a dragon dance and then sweeper everything. Sucker punch and dragon darts are a must keep, and sucker punch is nice, but not a must. Is there any other little tweaks you can help me out with? Thanks

cinderace is banned
Cinderace isn't banned right now (but it probably will be again, after the suspect is done): https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/np-ss-ou-suspect-process-round-6-fireball.3670532/

Best answer

Cinderace - Gunk Shot is definitely not necessary. The fairies it can hit already take a bunch of damage from Pyro Ball, and Pyro Ball doesn't have as shaky accuracy as Gunk Shot. A suggestion for a replacement move that can counter Toxapex is Zen Headbutt.

252 Atk Libero Cinderace Zen Headbutt vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Toxapex: 132-156 (43.4 - 51.3%) -- 3.1% chance to 2HKO

It requires quite a bit of prior damage to take out Toxapex guaranteed, but it's a reliable way to beat Toxapex.

Dragapult - Fire Blast is a really good move that can take out the steels that can wall the set you have. It has shaky accuracy, but is definitely worth it. I'd recommend replacing Sucker Punch for Fire Blast, as you already have good Dark STAB in Urshifu and Cinderace. Also change the nature to Lonely so that the Fire Blast damage isn't minimized.

Toxtricity, Urshifu, and Rotom-Wash are fine.

Clefable - Stealth Rock and Flamethrower aren't worth it imo. Stealth Rock and Defog on the same team can't synergize most of the time. Flamethrower leaves you with a lack of STAB and makes Clefable fail to check the things it's supposed to check offensively, like Dragapult, Hydreigon, etc. I think this set is better.

Clefable @ Leftovers
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Bold Nature

Hope this helped!
