Gamer's Metagame Breakdown
Hello guys, gamer here. This is my take on a meta breakdown thread. Main focus would be to provide sample pastes and explain all the core structures and meta trends rising in the upcoming regulations, as well as have resources from players starting from beginner up to I guess champion rank, since everyone has more to learn. From tips and tricks to face certain teams or use them, up to teambuilding choices and tips, I'll try to have it all here, broken down to basic information, as much as I can. I'll try to always have pinned the title of the team I will explain each time so you can easily go back. Hopefully this will become an enjoyable journey of knowledge from which all of us will have something to derive.
A bit more about myself before anything. I am no kind of pro player or anything, just an individual who happens to have a few experiences and wants to help people have a resource to their competitive journeys. I started playing competitively not so long ago, almost two years have passed. This will be a shorts of team dump, containing all the teams I see or use with replays as well as the aforementioned stuff. Any suggestions or stuff you want to see added/further broken down, just ping in general
One team at a time always, hopefully to cover the most we can
Team I'll be using during my ladder session on showdown, from which I'll get the replays is posted here with a small breakdown: #channel
Account's on the very top of the showdown ladder, usually sitting at the 1550-1600 range but as you can see has hit higher peaks and rank one for quite a bit of time so hopefully the teams and players I face are indeed the best they can be
I will not break down my team unless you want me to, since I have already attempted to do so in the thread above
If you have any certain questions ask there
About the team always
Mega Charizard Y Tailroom hyper offense (Sun ft. Whimsicott)
The basic team composition for the team is:
Mega Charizard Y -#Yard
Garchomp
**Basculegion
Kingambit ** -#The big two
Farigiraf
Whimsicott/Aerodactyl -#Other rarer tailwind setters
(Filler slot)
Your filler slot in this team tends to be offensive, like gholdengo or some double mega, most of the times being a trick room based one for a submode with farigiraf, like mega mawile or Kangaskan, but I can also see fake out users being helpful, like sneasler for example.
Rarely you can see kingambit over Basc or in filler slot

EVs on the first might be outdated since garchomps are running Lorb, so more offensive faster variations could be given more attention.
Always with moonblast support from whimsicott to beat chomps
Or other partners
I still believe it's worth running bulky in case of choice scarf garchomps and also for the overall bulk, but I can also see fast attacker. If anyone has other optimised EVs feel free to share so I can add them
