Guzma & Golisopod
Golisopod is an extremely high investment pair who, while still a decent occupant of the early game hyper offensive bug niche, now faces such stiff competition from pairs like Pheromosa and Volcarona that the fully merged sync grid it requires to function can be difficult to justify. The still-considerable power of No Quarter and the additional defensive utility it has over its competition still make it a great choice for an extremely wide spectrum of teams, but the pair simply no longer measures up to the defining metagame forces it once competed with.
