Personally I'd give Forretress Explosion over Spikes or Toxic Spikes just to give it more offensive capabilities in a pinch. Maybe getting rid of Toxic Spikes would be your best bet since you already have Toxic on Shuckle.

I'm curious to see why you'd allocate your Mega Evolution space to Lopunny rather than Gengar. Mega-Gengar's ability to trap opponents is huge (at least in the Gen VI meta) - Mega-Lopunny is a good Pokemon but I don't think it compares to Gengar. It would do decently with a Life Orb, too, so it's not like the switch is crippling.

Other than that I like your team!

I pilot mega lopunny over gengar to stay out of smogon's uber tier, and it is usually in my favor that the opponent switches out anyways. I was thinking of running custap berry explosion on forretress, but I'm having trouble locating the berry to even start play testing that set.

Appreciate the feed back by the way!

Probably the most efficient way to get the berry is to use the Pokemon Global Link online (if it hasn't closed yet) and do one of the attractions over and over again. You'll get berries each time you complete one and I believe the Custap Berry is one of the rewards.

The Global Link also has a promotion, everything is 50% off due to the Global Link shutting down in a week or two.

I haven't registered for the global link, do you still think it would be possible to do so? Either way I'd be glad to trade for one if to save me some time.

Yeah I think you'd still be able to. Registering takes less than 10 minutes so you'll have lots of time.
