Marshadow either had roughly 40-200 defense. Ot had roughly 80 attack without bold or adamant nature. It was definitely bulky marshadow though

Low ladder players in any of the ladders are wild. Like they think predicting someone is strange lmao.

Don‘t forget that the actual NatDex AG ladder starts at 1600. You didn‘t face a single viable team, so I wouldn‘t consider your team viable either. It was just able to compete with some of the worst ladder teams I have ever seen. Nonetheless though it was cool to see some uncommon mons actually perform and I am admittedly impressed by Cacturne.
