In Reg MA, i made a M Venusaur team, abusingits amazing matchups into meta threats by pairing it with partners that could deal with Psychic and Flying Types.
But now, in Reg MB, with Staraptor, i needed to rework my team, and i switched from a trick room centered team, i chose a Tailwind based M Aerodactyl team.
I want to know if there's anything i could optimise or change.
Incineroar has taunt because if not Trick Room destroys me.
The team is mainly Bulky Offense, using Twind to compensate in Speed.
M Venusaur, Rotom-W, Incineroar is main core, and Gholdengo is here because its incredible into Staraptor.

yo i forgot that i had no item, Gholdengo has Colbur Berry so it survives a Sucker Punch into Kingambit and to make my Incineroar matchup better
Any reason for no item gholdengo?
Just read this
i spent so much time making calcs for so many interactions i forgot to add the item
Venu could use ingrain or leech seed for more staying power. Incin could use a dark move over taunt, but those are just suggestions. Garchomp NEEDS dragon claw. Otherwise, you look fine
I really like 3 attack Venusaur as Epower makes my matchup into rain far better, because it threatens arch and gambit.
I chose Taunt cause this team would suck into TR otherwise
I have another Garchomp set, its white herb scale shot stomping tantrum, but that doesnt match the team. maybe i drop stomping by Dclaw cause i have 2 inmunities to EQ
I also think Leech seed is too passive for my liking
already put Dclaw
thx
Defo drop stomping
Its what venu likes to do, but again, its preference. And no problem, I’m just heloung out
I'd love to get a benchmarks breakdown before I commentate
For the evs
I would not drop stomping for claw here actually, it's fine
i dropped Dclaw and its better honestly i have 2 inmunities to EQ Anyway so i can manage it.
Garchomp i smade to take opposing garchomp's Dclaw, if the Garchomp doesnt have an attack boosting item, its fast enough to catch non timid 100 speed mons like Charizard Y and Gardevoir.
Aerodactyl was made to 1 point faster than base aerodactyl while doing just the right amount of damage to OHKO non boosted M staraptor if it goes 32 hp 2 def. I need the adamant nature for that.
The bulk is so that it can take two aqua jets from non mystic water/LO Basculegion which helps me wit avoiding revenge kills. It can also take a Staraptor CC even if 32+
M Venusaur can take a M Aerodactyl Dwingbeat if Jolly . It is modest and enough SP in SpA to reach the Stat Bump. i gave the rest into Special defense but 1 because i want to break speed ties with opposing M Venusaur.
A similar reasoning goes for the rest but i dont remember them all i just remember that Incin is 1 point faster than M Staraptor in Twind, something similar with Gholdengo and Dragapult.
oh wait its true the garchomp was the old one ohhhhh
its 3 defense not 3 hp
