How would you build it then cus I might need help
Hmm as i said
Swap indedee for maushold
And blastoise for metagross
That way u have a tr mode with blastoise
There’s a useful idea here with Charm Whimsicott: once Staraptor has Mega Evolved, Contrary turns your own Charm into an Attack boost. Make sure you aren’t targeting base Staraptor with it. Close Combat then builds its defences instead of lowering them.
The change I’d test first is Gholdengo over Metagross. You keep a Steel attacker, add meaningful special damage, and stop asking both main attackers to compete for the same Mega slot. Keep the Staraptor support core while testing that. Against sun, be careful committing Ninetales to Aurora Veil when Charizard Y can replace the snow on that turn.
