Yes, I heard about that, but the problem is on the moves/puppet types, I don't know which ones are specials and not, except for FIRE, WATER and ICE that are some classic special types. Later, I don't know about for ex. "faith", "dream", "wind" (it's originally a SP.ATK type but it may changed), etc.the charts on this page should help you with that.
Thank you anyway.
I am new here and I have encountered something interesting...Uh, I don't really see any problems here...
Latest version of Java on Win7, if interested.
Constructive criticism time.I don't think TToyo has too much of an advantage over DSuwako, though, as TToyo can also take Faith and Heart hits, while DSuwako can only take Faith. DSuwako can also retaliate to Steel and Fire types since she can use a variety of Fire, Earth and Water moves. That's the one thing I disagree with, though. Everything else you said I completely agree with. I'll make a second set that includes her with Insomnia.
This is just my opinion, but I think Mai really wants Sleep immunity in Insomnia to give her more opportunities to switch in and set up Nasty Plot, especially on stuff like Speed Medicine and Mamizou. Rain Dish is neat, but I would rather use that on a defensive set. Slash Reflect for Rain Dance; I think Mai would much rather set up Rain herself, in the case that DSuwako or Nitori aren't around (Keep in mind Faith doesn't resist Faith in this game).
The nature and EV investment is questionable. What physical threat(s) is Mai trying to take hits from? Can she survive any Blade Flashes that she otherwise couldn't with no Defensive investment? Also, an alternative spread consisting of Modest Nature and 132HP/252Def/40SpA/84Spd accomplishes the same stat distribution with 1 extra Special Attack. The SpA/Spe investments can be changed to 36SpA/88Spd instead in order to speed-creep base 100's with 4 Spd EVs. However, it should be noted that there is pretty much no such thing as a puppet with base 100 Speed that isn't running some kind of speed Investment, except maybe Layla, DSunny, or DRemilia (idk I never used those three to great success). Non-mixed variants of Yorihime, and AShou both always run Speed investment, the former of which will always outspeed and OHKO Mai.
Instead, I would suggest a final spread of Modest with 132HP/252Def/120SpA/4Spd. This Gives Mai more Special Attack and still allows her to outpace uninvested base 90's. More HP investment could be worthwhile for Rain Dish.
Toyohime sounds like a great team mate, as she can take Steel-typed attacks aimed at her and retaliate with Ancient Power or a Rain-boosted Surf... or Whirlwind depending on the situation. Mai isn't taking Steel-type attacks by herself. With that spread, she may survive the odd Blade Flash or Sonicboom, but team support is a must for this.
All in all, this set is a nice surprise for opposing Fire-types, but that's about it. She would be a lot cooler if she got Recover or something. Personally, I like my Mai's with Insomnia. Hopefully I helped a little.
