I am currently using a rain team here are the spreads and are they good or some changes need to be made it u think something needs to change drop down the exact spreads or moves or mons
And thank you in advance for anyone who helps
Pelli gets ko by almost any heavy attacker 😭 but yh gambit one and salamence one I see but what can I do against goli though i mean i have elctro shot for the normal one but what about mega
Oh..
Hehe ... My bad..
For your Mega Golisopod question, it becomes Bug/Steel, so Electro Shot is neutral rather than super effective. Flamethrower isn’t automatically pointless here: rain halves Fire damage, but Golisopod still has a 4× Fire weakness. I’d test that coverage before dropping it just because this is rain.
Pelipper’s item should be Focus Sash if you want the dependable full-HP safety net; Focus Band is chance-based. With Sash, you can then consider moving some HP investment into Speed if there’s a specific Tailwind turn you need it to secure. On Kingambit, Chople targets the Fighting weakness more directly than Occa, but it doesn’t guarantee survival against every Fighting attack.
