There we go
(I named the incin after a chilean luchadora
This looks fun to use tbh
It is
Its got like 3 modes
Rain, hyper offense and perish trap
Just depends on what i need
In rain which mega do you run?
Usually lopunny in the back, that mode goes with politoed and arch
Isn't it better to use Gengar?
Got perish trap as a secondary option
Sometimes but i have perish trap on toed
Or sorry song*
I mean Gengar is used on so many rain teams to just end the games
Yea i could tbh
Just let's you clean up afterwards
Part of me is still learning more about the team, like when its better to lead gengar andgo full perish trap and when its not
Hmmm depends tbh
Ive figured that part out
On how much can they threaten you exactly
Yea, like if i see dark types, im generally not bringing gengar
I mean Loppuny eats them for breakfast
Which is why she seems to work
Yea they kinda help each other
Inicn also really helps lop too
Yea nice core there
I literally stumbled on it by accident too
Cause the old team was being handicapped by rillaboom and grimsnarl so i took them off and was like “well what if i put politoed and tried mega lopunny since i need a second mega anyways” and it just clicked
Mega lop stands in the face of opposing incins and deletes kingambit which has been the hardest matchup ive faced this season
Plus politoed turns on my archs electro shot making it easier to one shot anything frailer then milotic and even can grab a ko on that after one or two shots
That sounds very good
Glad to hear that it's working out
Yea, idk how but i managed to make one of my favorite gen 4 mons viable
Im just mad i never managed to get this team registered for this grand challenge
What team did you register
The previous version that went 1-6 at a recent tournement i played in
And would have been 0-7 had i not gotten a bye
Oh damn that's unfortunate
Yea so rn im just gonna focus on getting that participation prize and just cut my losses
Just good practice with the team
Yea would have been
But i can keep practicing
That's the spirit
Cause i think im gonna run this team the rest of the season and prob the rest of the regulation
