In BO3 format tournament battle please suggest best options for this team and flaws also
if you want to use steelix you will need a sand setter
dragonite gotta go
get bro on the bench
or tell em to get the team some water
same with empoleon
try using seableyr with rain dance imstead of whimsicptt my opinion
tell em to get back to his shift at burger king
Yea I think this whole team needs to be overwriting/new writing
i think he wants to use this team
if you wanna use steelix get ttar here
because you'll be eaten alive here with choice band dragonite and empoleon
unless god himself locked down at you at smiled because you're his favorite human that choice band is worthless
(sorry a little pissed because i lost a match because focus band proc twice)
My biggest issue is I want to run dragonite for trick room stopping with roar and I like it more than taunt... And steelix I can swap for any other mega options and empoleon is there to cover for intimidates and garchomps 🙂↕️
Dragonite could be viable with different items I suppose than
Farig would be better than Dragonite
Dragonite can be stopped with fake out
and in bo3 they will know to fake out Dragonite to stop roar
So I should swap dragonite for farigaraf got it than
Also swap empoleon
Other mega options than steelix?
Empoleon covers for garchomps
bro is not doing anything
Garchomp will outspeed and one shot with earthquake or stomping
Vaccum wave could get sneaky KoS on kinggambit
Than should I keep dragonite for stopping garchomps?
again the problem is you're planning to run this in bo3
New account not enough mons best is i could with run zard Y
Vacuum wave isn't gonna catch anyone off guard after you use it once
A9 is better if you want to cover for garchomp
it actually out speeds
Or i guess I would grind a bit and recruit all those mons🙂↕️
A9?
Arcanine
you have ttar and drill just drop zard y and run ttar drill steelix (if you can get farig but for now) oranguru for trick room sneasler and probably just garchomp
alolan Ninetales
Running a sand team
Should I use that ghost dog too for sand rush last respects set
With ally switch
you can but garchomp probably a little more useful
Does this team is good for BO3?? tournament i guess i should add milotic in it
Should I drop sneasler and add milotic? For scald and ice beams?
I think sneasler is good here
you do not need whimsicoot i would say
But I'd adjust the team
try using sash venu
Ohh okay than speed control??
Life orb venu with a ton of bulk is also really good
I recommend life orb venu and bulky chari Y
Whimsicot for speed control?
not a ton of bulk, but some bulk, yea
you do need speed control with chloropjyll on venu its outspeed everyone
Can u share me stats spread what can I do for this?
like this
Oh. Okay and chari Y
you survive life orb boosted max atk rockslide from garchomp that way
I like to combine that with Scarf Garchomp
and this milotic would pressure the switch on garchomp i just couldn't figure out garchomp counters??
the solarbeam lifeorb helping hands ohkos all garchomp sets
Ohh okay thanks I will do that
I like this for bulky chari Y
bc you can spam helping hand earthquake, outspeed other garchomps and still ohko them with helping hand
you ohko max hp max def chari Y, thanks to helping hand
ohko bulky mega floette and bulky mega aero with iron head helping hand
chari Y is basicially here to spam helping hand and keep the sun active
but can still deal alot of damage with stab, sun boosted fire type moves
Ohh okay I should add that
And so basculigion i should use sash right?
