Building a Bottom 100 MLP Team | Pokémon Champions
Resumen
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is discussing a unique Major League Pokémon (MLP) draft challenge using the bottom 100 Pokémon. Members are sharing strategies for optimizing teams featuring Mega Beedrill, Zoroark, and Rhyperior for both singles and doubles formats. This discussion highlights the community's collaborative approach to competitive team building and overcoming the challenges of low-tier draft leagues.
So, I am in a private MLP group that has 8 trainers. This season involves making a team out of the bottom 100 pokemon. My drafted team includes Mega Beedrill, Farfetch'd, Gogoat, Rhyperior, Pikachu, Machamp, Zoroark, Mr. Mime, and Kanto Tauros. So far, my singles consist of the team added. I feel like this is probably the strongest set for it, but I need help with doubles. I can create a doubles team that uses different movesets and spreads, so I'm not limited in that aspect. This team struggled heavily in the 10 matches of doubles that I played in.
what were we thinking drafting mega beedrill....
I’m gonna be so fr I used rhyperior at the VERY beginning at reg M-A because I didn’t have garchomp
He wasn’t that bad all things considered
wtf is mlp
my little pony?
shrug
rhyp struggles without av but its an okay guy 💙
We had 10 mons per draft round, and this was the Mega that was available for me
what is beedrill doing here tho
beedrill is good
wth you on
I used Rindo berry
Major League Pokemon 😂
in lower power formats
Cuz I was using a sun team
bro could be goated
anyone can calc to ohko beedrill 💙
I do like the ice punch choice
but can they calc to live beedrill
I used earthquake
But that definitely works as well
ehhh u could do both 💙
So far, Zoroark has been clutch, getting a swords dance in before illusion is broken, and then can usually carry with STAB night daze, but when something happens and he gets OHKO'd, I'm kind of SOL with the rest it feels like
B-Beedrill?
I highkey dont know what beedrill does on this team
Sash plot zoroark might be cool
Id run a bulkier mime with fake out wide guard dgleam and whatever as the last move
Within that draft, I’d start by keeping Beedrill, Mr. Mime and Rhyperior as your core. Your singles sheet already has useful doubles tools: Fake Out and Encore on Mime, Protect on Beedrill, and Rock Slide on Rhyperior. The bigger issue is giving your slower attackers usable turns rather than adding more coverage.
I’d test Trick Room on Mr. Mime over Psychic for the Rhyperior/Machamp games, while keeping Beedrill as a separate faster option. You don’t have to bring both speeds every match. I’d also replace Quick Claw on Machamp with a consistent item such as Sitrus Berry if it’s free; relying on a random activation makes positioning harder to learn. With Gogoat, remember Grassy Seed only activates when Grassy Terrain is actually present—you currently have to spend a turn setting it yourself.

Yeah, I realize I made that mistake in the sheet. It is set with nasty plot on it after I posted it
