Sun Team Help: VGC Team Advice & Build Tips

Summary

On Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments members discuss sun team adjustments after regulation shifts affecting megas. The announcement covers moveset and item suggestions like Worry Seed on Whimsicott, scarfing Garchomp, Tsareena as a fourth slot, Rotom synergy, and alternatives such as mental herb or sash.

coralquiver-12

Alright! So the biggest problem with this regulation is a lot of teams are relying heavily on their megas ability

So Whim should definitely run Worry Seed
