Howdy! I’m here to ask if my trick room, mega camerupt team is too ambitious, and maybe some help with some weak points that I can get some help on!
Firstly I 9/10 start off with Farigiraf and Incineroar to set up -1 (Yknow the usual!) use fakeout and Attempt to set up trick room, and if I do set up trick room, parting shot with incineroar and switch in Camerupt, but I feel like I’m having some issues when it comes being able to contend and when I’m down with Farigiraf I feel like I’m clawing my way back into a losing battle

Usually I bring

1/2: Incineroar, Farigiraf
And in the back is either Snorlax or Camerupt, and Sinistcha

My Main issues:

  • Losing Farigiraf turn one to Kotow Cleave (I know Kingambit runs rampant and that’s something I’m going to have to learn to face it, and I don’t want to complain about meta cause I’m just doing this to have fun!)

  • possible Pokemon EV’s, am I spreading them too thin? Should I just focus on two things and not try to account for every possible scenario?

  • Primarina. I love Primarina, but I don’t get any times where it would be good to bring her, since I’m using her more as a support, I was thinking about switching him out for Grimmsnarl since it has prankster I believe

If you guys have any better ideas or team tweaks I will listen with open ears!
