No one expects Sharpedo

Everyone sleeps on my Sharpedo and I love it. This was turn two, after Sharpedo already picked up what I assume was a surprise KO on Sneasler turn one. Not sure what he was expecting to happen but I'm certain it wasn't that. This was a 2200 ranked opponent as well surprised he wasn't running Chople on Gambit.

Gonna miss Sharpedo when he's not viable but he's been doing me well! Nearly made it to Masterball 1 with him, fun to be doing so well with a 'mon I haven't seen anyone else running.

Unconventional Megas?

Been using this Sharpedo team for the last week and managed to crack the top 5K! Just started playing VGC when champions came out, followed the scene for a while but was always too much time investment to get started, love that they lowered the barrier to entry. Sharpedo can counter quite a few of the main mons in the meta if you're able to set up a speed boost. I'm running Protect/Crunch/Psychic Fangs/Ice fangs. Catches quite a few surprise KO's and Psychic fangs has nice utility to break screens. Definitely wouldn't work as well with open team sheets but I'm proud of my boy, I probably bring him about 80% of the time.

Aeoradactyl is my weak spot I don't bring him much. I've tried a few different mons but nothing has worked great. He definitely has some utility depending on the match up. This team has enough built in speed control I don't try and set tailwind too often.

Anyone else running non meta megas and seeing some success?
