Optimizing the Quaquaval VGC Team | Pokémon Champions
Résumé
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is analyzing a high-performing Quaquaval team recently featured on Pokeaim+. Community members are collaborating to optimize the team's core, specifically seeking counters for rain and fairy-type threats while maintaining the existing synergy between Quaquaval, Gardevoir, Indeedee, and Aerodactyl. This discussion highlights the complexities of competitive VGC team building and the search for effective meta-game solutions.
So I'm the one who built the Quaquaval team that was most recently featured on Pokeaim+ where Joey went undefeated! The only issue I have is against rain.
Pyroar + Tork was a quick fix, but idk what would be a better. The point of the team is Quaquaval, so I'd rather not trade it out. On top of this, a second fighting type feels redundant, so there's zero chance for sneasler. What I need is a way to deal with both fairies and rain by changing 2 slots (garde, deedee, quaq, and aero all stay.) Any and all help would be appreciated!

i see
tysm! :D
K
any ideas yet? :3
sorry i'm very keen on working on this :D
Hmm
Fairies
My bad advice is, is offensive gengar worth looking into ?
true...
what spread would i want then?
Uh honestly I am unsure. Max offense ah uh not sure what would be ideal for him to outspeed. Opposing gardes and stuff for the mirror
Maybe you can afford some bulk
mayyybe
biggest issue is ground moves and psyspam
which are both dealt with by aero and indeedee follow me
and what would counter arch???
Yeah lots of teams have ground weaknesses it’s kinda just how it is sometimes
Those weaknesses tho I felt were covered by corv
His always kinda meh tho
true....
still this can of worms to open
Any other flying type ? I wish corv could fit on my team for the same reasons tbh haha
Camerupt is ohkoing
It’s nice
non-mega???
Very nice just watching it die
Nah mega sorry
what else...
Idk the full context but what about glimm
Sash glim
Uhhhhhhhh
Well you were already using grappoct for this very reason
And glim is a good choice
Even levitates
But you’d be putting it in terrain maybe
You get sludge bomb and also ohko into peli
grapploct feels too weird for this
But arch does wall
and with how many faster mons are on the team, idk if trick room even works here
Your own arch lol
Trickroom doesn't really work tho
Snarl variant haha
Aero, quaval
...sturdy, black belt, aura sphere??
Isnt snarl just superior
I think stamina still ? And that fighting coverage is really cool but I am unsure if you can hard commit to it other moves were like protect snarl pulse electro
Would you not run electro ? Maybe not arch
Instead of being built to only counter arch you can simply snarl
And gain value with stamina regardless
true, but no e-shot
Hmmm
