Skarmory, double Water is a classic. I've seen it with Lanturn/Whiscash or Lanturn/Shadow Swampert. The current World Champion run that as well in one of his Live streams. Although at the moment I think grass types are very weak in the meta. So you don't really often bait out a grass type and then can farm it down cleanly with Skarmory. So while it is a very strong team, the type of ABB it is designed to be, doesn't match the meta that well. Skarmory and Whiscash - especially the shadow - are just OP Pokemon in general. On the other hand you see Annihilape on every other team it fells which is kind of a core breaker into the Skarmoy/Whiscash core.
Thanks for your breakdown! These battles were filmed in the Jungle Cup where Grass types were a little more common in countering Lanturn, and Annihilape was absent, which might help better explain why I gained so much ELO. Your breakdown is completely accurate in the Great League, it is definitely not as strong a team compared to the more restricted meta. Appreciate your view and comment!
Shadow Feraligatr is not eligible for the Jungle Cup, which was where these battles were filmed. I like the regular a little better than the shadow because regular Swampert can take more hits.
kid that is a very season 5 team! That combination of Swamper am Skar has been around for a while, but it does not work anymore! but at your elo it might since the pros are already a legend!
Hey, thanks so much for your view. These videos were filmed in the Jungle Cup where the line favored a little better because of the more condensed meta. I definitely agree that this team is not favorable for the Great League anymore. Also, I'm old enough to legally drink, so I'm not a kid, though I do understand why you might think so since I have been told many times that look a little young for my age. I appreciate your comment!

I don't have regular whiscash, would the shadow version also preform well?
That's actually a great question! I don't have the shadow so I'm not entirely sure. You're more than welcome to give it a try and see how it performs!
Would shadow swampert work better? Or maybe shadow feraligator?
