Sorry to Bunsel, who i borrowed a parent from 90 years ago and still haven't done I'll try to move on quickly but i'm pretty much ready to go

It's really not a big deal. Take your time.

Merciless tho

I really don’t know about merciless. 65 Atk isn’t good. And if you patch it up with choice band, you lose the ability to use baneful bunker, probably your main source of poison.

It’s a great ability. But poison seems like a really gimmicky horse to hitch your entire wagon to, especially on something as weak as this. It’s worse than sniper Kingdra because 1) you can’t control the criterion with which your ability activates and 2) Kingdra is good because criticals let him Spam Draco, where there is no such attack here, so your only niche is on defensive boosting Pokémon.

Toxic Spikes + Merciless is pretty good. And base 65 atk is enough when all your moves are crits...

Anyway there's just one set so far so why not have both?

Because I don’t want to waste time on a set that is so bad that we shouldn’t be doing it. I’m fine with doing both, but doing it because it’s there is a bad idea.

But that’s why we have a discussion period.

Regenerator is kinda useless in VGC because you rarely switch out, so Merciless is far from being "so bad we shouldn't be doing it". Regenerator/Merciless usage on Showdown in VGC is actually about 50/50.

Sounds good to me then. That's all I needed to hear.
