Pokémon VGC Team Building: Dragapult Round Strategy Help
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server community is collaborating on a competitive team build centered around a Dragapult, Sylveon, and Primarina core. This discussion focuses on optimizing the remaining three team slots to address fairy-type weaknesses and improve weather control. Members are sharing specific movesets and strategic advice for Pokémon like Venusaur, Gengar, and Scizor to help refine this VGC strategy for better tournament performance.
my team is centered around leading with dragapult and either sylveon or primarina so that i can use round with both to take out any supporting pokemon, and i want to keep those three at the core, but if i could get some help deciding the other there pokemon and refining their movesets that’d be great!
Question why do we have ttar?is he just weather support?
I feel like hes the main thing we could change
Basc and chomp work fine here
We COULD change basc to a different ghost focused mon since prim covers our water coverage..but again it's good.. also a great 4th mon to bring to revenge kill
he’s there for weather control yeah, mainly against rain, but i do have a big weakness to fairy that i’d like to sure up
You could use a support like fross with
Thunderbolt
Auraveil
Blizzard
Protect/shadow ball
This would counter rain pretty well. Thunderbolt should clear zard aswell.. but doesn't help your fairy weakness alot.
I steel or poison type would be really nice
A few options could be:
Venusaur @ Venusaurite
Ability: Chlorophyll
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 SpA / 32 Spe
Modest Nature
- Sludge Bomb
- Protect
- Earth Power
- Giga Drain/sleep powder
Victreebel @ Victreebelite
Ability: Chlorophyll
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 32 SpA / 2 Spe
Modest Nature
- Giga Drain
- Sludge Bomb
- Protect
- Strength Sap/sleep powder/
Gengar @ Gengarite
Ability: Cursed Body
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 SpA / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
- Shadow Ball
- Protect
- Sludge Bomb
- Perish Song
Scizor @ Scizorite
Ability: Technician
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 32 Atk / 2 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Bullet Punch
- Protect
- Bug Bite
- Dual Wingbeat/Swords Dance
OR we could keep ttar and bring excadrill over basc or chomp since we already have a dragon..
Your team would scream bring the fairy pokemon so if they have a fairy its very likely to come in
I like scizor, should i bring fross and scizor instead of ttar and chomp?
Yeah that would work
If you bring fross. I would consider life orb sizor instead of mega but try both if you want
Life Orb pretty much scizor a mega with the damage boost.
But it takes recoil see what works better for you personall
k i’ll give that a shot thanks! i just don’t have a scizor :b and i’m limited on vp, also what’s the stat spread and item on froslass?
Froslass @ Froslassite
Ability: Snow Cloak
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 SpA / 32 Spe
Timid Nature
- Blizzard
- Protect
- Aurora Veil
- Thunderbolt
Froslass will need to be mega and you can change auraveil for shadow ball if you dont want the free 50% damage reduction
But its a good free screens tbh
Okay I like it thank you!! now i just need to get a scizor, thank you for your help!
should I get some form of speed control?
