I'm free right now

Just give me a second

Ready 🍞

I ma link home and start building the team also there are so many stuff in Pokemon what should I start learning with

The most basic thing is the type table, do you already know it?

Knowing what your Pokémon is weak against and what it is strong against is one of the most important fundamentals

Then speed tiers

Any tricks?

All you need is an image on hand

Oh

0 It's immunity, 1/2 is resistance, 2 is super effective damage (white is neutral damage)

My fav is bug <-> fighting

They both resist eacb other

Ice is kinda logical bcz it freezes living stuff like dragon and plants(grass) idk why it's strong again rock though

Strong against groynd

My bad i was watching water

Wanna know the bug fighting interaction?

Yh

Fighting resist bug because have you wver seen a buff guy scared of small bug

And bug resist fighting because have you ever seen anyone suplex a bug?

Yh

Kinda does make sense

I am speed run the team build now

🍞👍

Can you tell me strategies with this team

That's great! I'd like to explain in more detail how to generate leads and such, but I struggle a bit with speaking English over voice chat. I'll see if I can find a video with a similar team

But basically, Mega Swamper and Mega Golisopod both benefit from rain. Swamper doubles its speed and deals more damage with its STAB Wave Crash, and Golisopod can survive Fire-type attacks, which is the only type he is weak to

Golisopod is good against other teams that use trickrom (they use Pokémon like Gardevoir and Farigraf) swamper is good for almost every match thanks to Swift swin

Oh ok ty 🙂

It's not the same device, but the core is identical

The video is divided, and you can see potential leads at the beginning, as well as games that will serve as examples

You don't have to watch the whole thing clearly; just watch the parts where they use Swamper and Mega Goli

What's also great is that Champions shows you which moves are super effective in-game and which mons threaten yours at the start of the game

That will be very useful to you too

If you have any further questions or want to practice, we can play some friendly matches

Pokeball tier-4

Since you’ve built Bruno’s rain six, I’d practise two simple modes first. Pelipper + Swampert is your faster rain mode; Mega Swampert gets Swift Swim, so Tailwind isn’t automatically your best first turn. Farigiraf + Golisopod gives you a slower Trick Room option. Pick which one you want to Mega Evolve before committing to your four—you can bring both stones, but only Mega Evolve once per battle.

One practical thing to watch: Earthquake also hits your grounded partner. Pelipper can sit next to it safely, but Farigiraf and Indeedee need to Protect or get out of the way. Also, Choice Scarf locks Indeedee into Protect if you click it, so that slot/item pairing needs a rethink.

For M-C practice, start with the Rillaboom and Kingambit matchups. They were roughly 46% and 24% in September’s 1630-weighted Showdown usage, and Kingambit is immune to Indeedee’s Psychic attacks. Keep a physical answer available instead of leaving Indeedee to finish that endgame. Usage source: https://www.smogon.com/stats/2026-09/gen9championsvgc2026regmc-1630.txt
