Team is strong but looking for improvements.

eagergrove-31 OP

This team has done some real work for me and I’m looking to improve it. I went 21-3-1 in masterball tier and got up to 1910 very easily. On Pokémon showdown I reached top 250 on the BO1 ladder and top 160 in BO3 with around a 70% win rate in both. I know it is strong but I have some concerns.

  1. I don’t see anybody running a team like this so im not sure if this is just a team that works against the current meta or is actually just strong.
  2. It can struggle into some balance teams (mainly the floette and delphox team with double fake out)
  3. Big 6 is a winnable matchup but I do feel that if they are playing very good it is unfavorable.

I’ve been playing vgc on and off for about a year (mostly on showdown bc I don’t have a switch) so I’m not too experienced but I do believe I play good games. If you have any suggestions or questions about the team please reach out.

It could be but it helps me deal with peliper which can be a problem for my team

eagergrove-31 OP

It’s a very different team and I’m surprised it works as well as it does. I thought it was a best of 1 only team until I climbed really high in BO3

ironpanther-10
