Mega Blastoise & Hisuian Zoroark VGC Team Building Help
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is hosting a deep dive into Trick Room team building. This discussion focuses on optimizing a Mega Blastoise and Hisuian Zoroark core, exploring coverage options and move sets to replace Chandelure. Members are sharing insights on secondary modes like Mega Mawile and Basculegion to improve competitive viability in the current VGC meta.
saw a trick room mega blastoise team and wanted to try it out but don't have chandelure (for taunt) so i wanted to replace it with zoroark for fun and whimsy.
replacing it is hard since i don't really know what I'm doing. from what i played, zoroark won't do as much damage as chandelure and lack a stab fire spread move and a grass coverage.
i also added mega mawile as a secondary mode in teams where blastoise isn't as good and also basculegion as an outside trick room sweeper since i don't have protect on most of my mons.
zoroark is trained to outspeed other trick room, taunt and imprison user to have taunt prio (like farig, tsareena, sinistcha). icy wind can be handy outside of trick room against mons with similar speed. this mon just lacks damage sadly.
so I'd like to ask, are there any mons i can add/replace as a flex seal for more coverage without replacing blastoise and zoroark if possible. but if not, I'd like to know what other mons would be really good. also if there's any moves i should replace here.
