Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, community members are diving deep into competitive team building featuring Mega Eelektross. This discussion explores optimal pairings, including weather-based strategies and synergy with sweepers like Excadrill and Garchomp. The thread provides valuable insights into navigating the current meta, offering a breakdown of offensive sets and utility choices to help trainers refine their competitive rosters.
Getting back into VGC after a short break, I played champions at launch but dropped until recently, while its not a mandatory focus I would like to play a team core that can include M Eelektross, would appreciate any advice or knowledge on what pairings play into it and or what team I could be running to achieve the best results with it at this point in time (I do have VGC experience prior playing from SWSH through Reg I SV, so I dont need a coach so much I do a meta breakdown/team suggestion)
The meta currently consists alot of weather teams because of the addition of the weather rocks
electross mega has a good ability: a combination of levitate and moxie special attack version
you should be able to be safe from swampert except for the rare occasion of gravity sabeleye
also it increases highest stat sry
So with that said would you suggest I pair it into a rain team to take advantage of something like 100% accurate thunders or a sand team to play it into a pair up with an EQ sweeper like Exca or Garchomp?
Unless theres some kind of structure to it im just unaware of and a weather team is unbecoming
Hmmm, ok those are good notes, I'll start getting some team drafts
So after taking notes, I wound up with this offense focused set
Discord sent us an expired image link.
I added Sab and Swamp as potential weather control into a bad matchup, and felt that while Raichu was useful I wasnt finding its niche as a potential second mega very appealing since neither of its mega abilities spoke to me as far as composition went, so instead I chose Milotic to cover intimidate leads and incin over snarl simply because I value the fake out utility a lot if my sweeper is on a beast boost adjacent ability
Notably im on skill swap sab for ladder to deal with mega raptor, but I would probably swap it out for recover or something in the like for tournament play
Hmm I'll keep that in mind then
