Bulky Offense Help: Hydreigon + Aegislash Build
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a member asks for help building a very bulky offense team centered on Hydreigon and Aegislash, favoring a switch-heavy playstyle to avoid one-shots. The thread discusses dual megas, rain and Charizard Y matchups, Dnite interactions, Mega Gengar and defensive staples like Toxapex, screens, and utility versus Staraptor and Malamar.
Hydreigon and aegislash are my fav duo so I'd prefer them . I hate getting one shot and play a switch heavy game

Hello
Do I know you ? lol your name seems familiar
Nice mons
Team looks good
I remember you now lol
I don't remember. Mind reminding?
I’m shiny lol
Ohh. I didn't realise. How're you doin
I’m good haha. Really tired! I’ll get some of the guys to come have a look at the team
I’ll add you
Idk
As usual I recommend dual mega
But who you'd replace is up to you
I can double down on rain with my d nite but with zard y running around I don't see myself doing too well.
Uh
Dnite is one of the main counters to yard tho?
I mean its not an open and shut case yard can beat dnite but in a 1v1, dnite wins in every universe except for the one where the opponent is running air slash max speed yard and flinches dnite like 4 times
Ikr
Literally all but 2 of the new megas are either decent or rly good
Malamar and scollapied are completely useless but they did rly well aside from that
Ik
Contrary has literally never been this good
could you make very bulky malamar with screens and spam superpower for damage setup an sinistcha for healing?
XD
I mean ya you could but you shouldn't
Cuz staraptor is just better
I am considering mega gengar simply bcause my old strat of using curse to take out bulky setup sweepers just doesn't work against roost staraptor
I mean other perish song users work too but the only viable ones are politoed and I don't like rain or primarina and I like how araquanid feels way to much to use that
toxapex toxic plus infest
Neither haze or clear smog will rly be able to stop it that well
And both gard and mamoswine can hit it hard but not behind screens and def/spd boosts and with it being able to heal back said damage
