Mega Gardevoir & Lucario VGC Team Building Advice
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is hosting a deep dive into a dual Mega Gardevoir and Mega Lucario Z team core. This discussion explores potential sixth-slot additions like Dragonite or Rillaboom to counter sun teams and Mega Swampert. Community members are sharing strategic advice on move sets and team synergy to help refine this competitive setup for the current season.
I have slightly tweaked the core 4 pokémon that I've been using this season to focus more on setup + offence (I have changed trick room on gardevoir to calm mind though that isn't in the screenshots) - I like how Gardevoir, Sneasler, Indeedee and Ceruledge all play as a core. I think Mega Lucario Z matches up surprisingly well into teams that Gardevoir struggles with (steel types, physical damage). I'm unsure on the sixth slot, however.
I'm leaning towards dragon dance Dragonite (set attached) with life orb, mostly for my sun matchup.
I am also considering Rillaboom (though I wouldn't know what item to give it). Obviously this doesn't help with sun but will help with mega swampert specifically since I think my team might struggle to that. Lucario also learns terrain pulse so I might add that since I think that'd be fun with dual terrains but it's kind of gimmicky. I also don't really think I'm a good enough player to manage 2 terrains on the same team - I might get in my own way.
Anyway, this is what I'm mostly looking for advice on - dragonite vs rillaboom, though if you have any other suggestions for a sixth pokémon that I haven't considered (or any other advice for the team generally) that would be great!

i would vote for dragonite b/c u alr have indeedee
i've also found that terrian pulse on indeedee works as either psychic move or grass move for the rillaboom/basc teams
I am open to changing the team more though that was my main consideration.
You think terrain pulse would be better than psychic on Indeedee?
