I feel like I do really well with this double mega team using Delphox to cover Staraphtors weakness but I find it very frail to opposing rockslide. Any suggestion for how to deal with that and any other suggestions? Thanks!

I’ve switched fake tears on whimsicott to encore

Scarf chomp could do it.

I would recommend using a mon with Wide Guard if you think that it's worth it

azurecanyon-43

any coverage ice move on any of your mons would suffice honestly 4x weakness is no joke

azurecanyon-43

wide guard would also help yes

alolan ninetales checks chomp and can turn rain off and check swampert

quickjester-17

Freeze dry go brrr

appleheron-12 OP

Who/what move would you replace to add an ice type coverage

quickjester-17

Probably maus I don't think it does much here

appleheron-12 OP

Maus has been clutch for me in a lot of games. It’s nice being able to go double redirect with him and sinistcha

appleheron-12 OP

What are everyone’s thoughts on switching whimsicott to aerodactyl with sash, ice fang, tailwind, rock slide and wide guard?
