FINALLY, MY BOY CAN BE GOOD

With the addition of Poison Barb, not only does Clodsire no longer need to rely on Grafaiai hitting heads to inflict Poison, but he also isn't forced to retreat when paired with Weezing either! This means we can finally safely combo the Sire with the Weezing-Koga core, making for the thickest Venoshock deck to date.

Running Weezing grants us three perks Grafaiai lacks: we have a good early tank so we aren't as pressured to draw Clod immediately or lose, we can thin the deck out of a non-Wooper basic to make Poké Ball more accurate thanks to Koffing's Duplicate, and we can finally make use of Koga to completely nullify any early damage we received.

The existence of Oricorio, however, forces us to run an alternate quick hitter, but Absol isn't too much of a bad addition. It can even help us by reducing the chances of having to lead with Wooper.

On the rare chance that our smolest boi is forced to lead, a single copy of X Speed is preferred over running something like Cyrus for chasing. This is because you'd most frequently want to play Cyrus on the same turns that you'll be playing Koga, so they just conflict with each other. The extra help with retreating is more valuable.

I'm so excited we can finally see Wooper and Clodsire shine, and the return of Weezing is ALWAYS a win.
