I can't reaaally help you by just seeing your items, but it looks like your using a regular bulky rain team
but there is one thing I can say right off the board
disown eelektross
hes a fraud
He helped me get to master ball
you could instead use mega metagross, mega mawile ir mega raichu Y, by what I see in your box
Rain is too hard for me ngl?
Okay imagine this
Swampert has bad matchups against grass types, weather control or whatsoever
your secondary mega is here to cover that
mega eelektross covers neither

What you think of this team
that looks just like a previous team I created for and with someone on that server
you should be doing fine with that
How do i use it
But Chari Y is easy to outplay on lots of ways, you gotta be careful and position him correctly, dont let incin parting shot you, dont just stand there against a rock type move, dont click solar beam when the opponent has a easy way to shut down the sun or sinistcha rage powder, etc
pretty easy if you ask me, but some things are hard to remember for beginners
I dont know if you are a beginner or not
Im not good when it comes to predicting whats gonna happen
Incin is mainly here to disrupt the opponent with intimidate, fake out, parting shot, but can also deal very good damage, when the sun is active, with its flare blitz, I would also invest a little bit into its speed, so it speed checks some Pokémon like other incineroar, sylveon and gholdengo or garchomp in your tailwind
85 speed is enough to outspeed garchomp in tailwind, but me personally I use 86 speed, because everybody knows 85 speed is a must have speed stat on incin
With my incin being one point faster than theirs, my fakeout will always go first and I dont have to worry about speed-tue fakeouts, which could ruin your entire match
You think this is better than rain
What do i lead?
Thats really match up depending, but against rain a obvious rain lead like swampert pelipper your best options are actually your fire types incin and chari y
Mega Chari -> rain turns to sun
Incin can fake out the swampert
Solarbeam the swampert
and even if pelipper tries to attack you with weatherball, you do resist it because its fire now
If the swampert protects, simply swap out your chari Y and use parting shot in incineroar, so you can reset the sun
Ok thanks
This team is really good
How do you lead against trick room?
Kingambit slveon maybe
Tanky slow
Not focused on your speed mode more your bulk mode
So most likely no aero against tr
Unless he runs taunt
Taunt shuts down tr pretty hard
aero is fine against trickroom, eruption, hyper voice etc are fully countered by wideguard
So i lead kingambit,sylveon and aero inci on the back?
how do i win against blastoise
You should drop a dark type move maybe
Low kick is very useful
Help me
You should just run some more battles with your team and think about what is and isn’t working
We have a tournament in 8 days should be able to show you if theirs issues with the team or your play style
Idk what to lead honestly

What team do you think is better
Yeah no one can help you with what to lead
I can only really see one team
Use whatever you’re more comfy with it
Knowing how to lead is one of the hardest parts of the game
I also dont know what their purposes
I mean i dont know what they should do
I don’t understand
I think you just need to battle some more
Try showdown it’s faster
I mean like
What is aerodactyl supposed to do
Is it only for tailwind and wide guard
Yeah and clicking rockslide into charizard
Flinch chance is 30% also so just clicking rockslide is pretty good
How about inci
Just play the team man
Or make your own and pay attention to how it does and doesn’t work
Ok
