Is there anything to be changed? I just put the EVs on a whim suggest changes if needed
It's actually grassy seed not psychic
Psychic seed corv on no psy terrain
Rocky helm garchomps are always garbage and lack any meaningful power
Grassy seed is a waste fo corv
Also imo coaching sneasler is the way when using xard
.
Just for the type coverage
You can recomend me mons
Then what do I give it? Leftovers?
For this team 100%
Okayy
Anything else?
lefties + coaching sneasler is lwk cool
I used zard X
Coaching d dance is good on cts
Can u show me ur team?
Ye i was gonna get it rq

Ignore the double seeds
That's supposed to be sitrus volc
That looks like Eric Rios volcarona
U don't use rocky hel?
Cus it is
I was fluxuating between helm and sitrus
I always liked recovery more tho
oh and can I know what roles you consider having when ur building off an off-meta mon?
Like supports sweeper offense pivot etc
I mean there is a common fire weakness there
And idk how to play floette tbh I had it and i don't feel the impact most prolly cuz sneasler everywhere
Id like if u can suggest how to play floette
So replace corv for mfloette?
Electric res..
Mm
So my zardx speed is 129 what will it become after 1 ddance
OO
Well when building off meta mons you gotta consider what they do differently than something else
It needs 206 im ngl
193 is awful
Doesnt even outspeed adamant basc scarf
Jolly?
It needs to be able to outspeed n kill chomp Z
Adamant scarf is 194
Jolly scarf is 214
What would be my common lead tho
Incin/rilla with zard and setup?
It doesnt take that much investment bruh
18 evs
Mine is 18evs
It really is
Cus you just lose to chomp Z even after a d dance
Which is horrible
My spe us 18
Well if u d dance you outspeed n can kill a garchomp Z in the back or have volc
To rage powder
Wait in seriously considering volcarona cuz of the rage powder ngl like most of zardx kills is single target
Still you got fake outs to d dance
And just kill chomp Zs
Should I run a redirector?
Xard's biggest problem rn is chomp Z + intim cycles
Yes
Which is why you should outspeed it
Well having your mega have no reliable response to zomp isnt good
Fake out?
If you get a d dance and stop a zomp from even comimg out in the back you can just wij
U can just fakenout r1 ddance and outspeed
Positions matter
And sneasler is just
Everywhere
You cant rely on sylv rn
Id rely on xard more than sylv
And thats what i am doing 👍
Don't fight lol😭
I mean I'm confused rn
Should I run volcarona or what
Im just telling you reasoning
It's a good catch for the garchomps there (not z)
Ive used xard to
Ykw battle bro
ZardX vs zardx
🦁
If u run coaching sneasler you also got a funny mode of protect the corv with brave bird roost power trip body press like ugarte
I can also learn a thing or two
(I think ugarte ran bod press)
No he ran tw
Tw brave bird bulk up power trip
Mm
So
Corv for ghol and chomp for floette you suggested
If u do go run coaching sneasler i really do like support corv imo
Yeah that's annoying tbf
Gives you a bulky option if left unchecked isnt very killable
Can you tell me the cons of ur team?
Same w u
Yo
What if I run floette?
I've been using the team u said with ghol and floette
And I'm getting a hang of it
I lost against chomp z not leading floette having it in the back should I always lead floette if there's a dragon opposite like chomp?
Mm
I run rock tomb dire claw cc and coaching on sneasler
I found out coaching rilaboom is actually goated
It one shots mega ttar
And most ppl expects double fakeout
