This team was actually mine before
but my sister refused to play with me unless she had my best team :>
I never progressed past rank 4 in the great balls with this team
May I ask where did you get this team paste from ?
Usually we would recreate the team on here https://pokemonshowdown.com/
once the team is created it has that ‘upload to pokepaste’ in the bottom right corner
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Probably because I Dont understand Glimmora and Scovilain
Oh
Sorry I typed it all from my switch
let me try that
Haha I’m sorry. Now you know ! We use this for tournaments and stuff also so you’ll need to get familiar
This is very helpful information, thank you
For my information again
what do I do about tera type
or do I just leave it
Uhh just leave it
If you search in formats champions
You’ll notice a champions vgc format appear
Build in that
Sorry I didn’t mention it earlier
Discord sent us an expired image link.
The format
do I just copy the thing it gave me?

I think I did it right
Perfect
Easy to ignore teras
ohh okay
First issue is scizor in a sun team !
He is kinda good on rain because it covers his x4 weakness to fire a little bit
Coaching for the cereludge?
It’s a more fun pick then anything I think because the sneazler would be heaps more stable with protect
Other then that tho it looks good
Interesting
If you wanted something easy that works I’d swap scizor for sash venu
Focus Slash Venusaur?
And make sneazler white herb
Yeah not the mega
not slash 😭
Sleep powder
I make so many errors on here I don’t even care anymore lol
lol
This is very interesting
Tbh
I like never used Scovillain or Glimmora
Yeah honestly they are most likely not the best pics for the team
I thought the glim looked a little odd with light screen but I don’t build glim myself so I’m unsure
Mega glimmora is insanely powerful
But its kinda like gard in that it basically needs protection
hmm
Interesting
?

sorry I'm new to team building stuff T T
ohh
Interesting
pff
I just found a shiny Skarmory :D
Now I remember
I do have a shiny mimikyu
I used to use it for a trick room with mega Camerupt
but camerupt was too weak to ice
or water
I forgot which one it was
So you are building a team just to bully your sister?
Yes :>
She bullies me in every game we play 😭
Ok lemme just do some solo teambuilding and I'll share what I make later
Thank you :D
Tis what I came up with
https://pokepast.es/58b59f5654aeaa1e
You can actually use curse sinistcha if you want which is rly evil
thank you! this has been greatly helpful. time to get all the shinies from violet and send them to champions :D
If you get outplayed you can still lose bcause its not rly a hard counter but its overall pretty good into their team
I see
