do you have sinischa

tidycomet-49

You won't have access to tailwind if you wanna run mono ghost so you'll need other forms of speed control like Trick room or icy wind

tidycomet-49

probably want Frosslass as a secondary mega

vividquartz-52 OP

Ok

vividquartz-52 OP

No i dont have sinischa

@vividquartz-52 No i dont have sinischa
tidycomet-49

You'll need someway to take out Kingambit because duh ghost types
Probably sacred sword Aegislash is your only option
Paired with fake out Sableye to stop sucker punch although that wouldn't work if you're facing farig
it's your only option unfortunately

tidycomet-49

Ouh wait quick guard ceruledge could work in stopping sucker punch

Maybe something like this

tidycomet-49

you could go wide guard instead of iron head on aegislash

tidycomet-49

having 2 steel types lets you spam sludge wave freely

tidycomet-49

garchomp maybe tricky but fake out shadow ball could deal with it in 2 hits

tidycomet-49

you can quash and rockslide infront of charizard

tidycomet-49

or quash and power gem

tidycomet-49

rain dance to help boost basc power output

tidycomet-49

quick guard for kingambit lead and kill it with sacred sword

tidycomet-49

sneasler is not a problem

vividquartz-52 OP
