Thats coolal and all but you could use a defensive bakcbone like sinistcha or farig

I've never played any other pokemon games before, and I dont have much knowledge about this game yet.
You can give me some suggestions, and I'll try them out.

I mean for a new player this team is pretty good ngl

cleverinbox-49

I'd say to play it for a while and if you have issues re-positioning add farig, sinistcha, dnite or/and azumaral

pearlnectar-10 OP

This is a team I copied from some popular team-building websites. I haven't played enough to understand how it is supposed to work yet.

I kinda dig this

happykitten-50

Not what I'd play but the concept is simple enough

I'd personally remove gholdengo and play sinistcha, it will help your MU into rain a whole bunch
