Galvantula's bulk is pathetic.

doesn't really matter as long as you put a dent in the switch-in and then switch out
ESPECIALLY if you get paralysis
You are. First you suggest Sticky Web hinders Malamar. It doesn't -- it boosts him. I'm just pointing out that your claim Galvantula will clean shop with Malamar is moot once you switch out. If Galvantula is a free switch on Malamar, then any number of other things are a free switch on Galvantula. At some point, Malamar can be sent out at the start of a turn against Aegislash, endure a hit from a frail but strong Blade Forme (provided Aegislash is faster -- even less likely with Malamar boosting off Sticky Web), and either SE STAB Night Slash Blade Forme or power up +2 Attack off of King's Shield Shield Forme. If Aegislash stays in default Shield Forme, well, it's not able to do much in that form other than King's Shield. Malamar blocks its most important strategy and has quick healing solutions to fall back on if needed. He's the most solid answer to Aegislash yet.
That's not much of a conspiracy, it pretty clearly denies you so that you don't clog up the server constantly. It seems to reset around every 24 hours, I've basically been able to game sync once every day.
Might be holding a quick powder.

Bye bye Retaliate
But it loses its effect after it transforms, doesn't it?
At that point it copies your speed I think.
Since when has a pokemon ever used it? Aegislash suffers from 4MSS and you're suggesting swagger?
Probably nominal. As long as it's >10, RNG plays a bigger role in damage calcs.

That's what I think as well. I've noticed that the first time I sync in a session it normally works (not always), but if I try to sync later in that session it NEVER works

Alright, cool. I tried using an IV calculator to find what it's Def IV is, but it says impossible for all the stats :/

Breeding starters for IVs takes FOREVER with safari Dittos/never hatching females 
finally got the Charmander I wanted (and happened to breed a perfect one with all 31 IVs) after getting a female with 3 IVs and speeding up the process. Stupid male/female ratio.
finally got the Charmander I wanted (and happened to breed a perfect one with all 31 IVs) after getting a female with 3 IVs and speeding up the process. Stupid male/female ratio.If you want to give up a coverage move just to play a slow war of attrition with Malamar via Swagger, I think that speaks to the threat he poses right there.
I've synced earlier today twice. And synced a 3rd time about 30 min ago.
That's pretty impressive. Do you use the auto-sync while saving? I was curious if that has any bearing on it. I use it and I've only been able to game sync once a day every day, I average about 8-10 hours of play per day.

"slow war of attrition?"
BS, a lot of things are capable of OHKOing and constantly switching it out every time is gonna end really badly for you if you try it
Or perhaps that's the turn I Chesto-Rest, or maybe I just take a chance and Night Slash hits instead of confused status. It's true the drop in Attack would hurt, but again, Swagger is a wasted move slot on Aegislash. It's better to not have Aegislash deal with Malamar and leave that to someone else, which was the original point at the start of this whole conversation.

OMG is there a wallpaper-sized version of this??
Yea, I have that enabled, that's how I sync all of the time.

Seriously, fuck the Battle Maison. I've lost at Round 9 twice on Super Singles thanks to Swagger. That's all they use in that place.

you keep mentioning Aegislash
I don't know why, it sucks against everything else
what's next, you're gonna tell me Quagsire is a champ for walling Kyogre?

We'll be sharing a wallpaper.
Because the conversation was about him being a Aegislash check, silly goose.
Against non-Ghost-types, you can run a Rest/Sleep Talk set spamming Night Slash and Superpower (+1 Attack/+1 Defense every hit, thanks to Contrary) while endlessly restoring your HP. Sleep Talk isn't totally accurate, obviously, but he has nice bulk with HP investment and strong Attack with Attack investment. Also frees up your hold item slot for something to increase longevity while Sleep protects him from status.

might have worked in gen 5 once you cleared bug types, but now the new fairy overlords don't care anymore
Then I'll kill the Fairies with my own Aegislash first.

Level 1 guys are harder to get proper stats on. Maybe save it and use a few Rare Candy.
YOU CANNOT DESTROY US
I think there's only going to be 3-4 fairies in OU. The stat totals for most of them aren't that good considering there's quite a few fire and steel pokemon to check their typing.
