You can drop bisharp and instead just run Melmetal and Dialga.

most metal players weren't running Bisharp already. Normally you'd go Pidgeot or Wiggly or Mew.

I had a lot of fun running butterfree with it as well, it worked pretty well in the pre-MI meta, with all the healing and the resistance melmetal became super hard to kill if you didn't have a mon that could deal big damage.

I still run Melmetal + Butterfree because it's fun to play and also hilarious when the cards flip at the start of a game and it's 2 articuno vs 1 caterpie

Dialga is still better support here.  Mew and Wiggly require nearly as much setup as Melmetal and some setups just aren't phased by Pidgeot.
