hi!! so i'm a noob to competitive, only been playing champions the past couple months with zero prior vgc experience. i've definitely learned a fair bit already since starting through both experience and watching videos, but i could totally use some advice on how i should build a team around eelektross - a mon i've really grown to love using lately, especially with its new mega.
here are the two teams i've been messing around with: first one is just a bunch of my fave mons in general (i know my basculegion should be male but i just love the fem design so much 😭), second is a water-based team using more conventional meta options.
i've had decent success with both, ESPECIALLY with my eel knowing both a ground type move and a good phys electric move. been able to take down charizard, raichu, and the occasional bellibolt pretty reliably. i always have him out first with toxapex, who can take a hit and protect when needed.
that being said - i've been stuck in ultra tier and today had a bad losing streak that got me down to great 💀 i think archaludon is one of my biggest threats, since not only can it basically blast through my water team, but it's extremely beefy and hard to grind down even with super effective moves. cannot STAND that stupid bridge. sinistcha is also a thorn in my side.
and my latest loss.....was with my first team (specifically escher, flurry, tropica, and caliburn, in that order) against an oranguru with trick room and instruct, mega blastoise that used protect first thing (so my supercell slam missed and gave me a lot of recoil), and torkoal. didn't even get to see what the fourth mon they had was lol.
what could i do better with my teams? how do i better strategize? do i really need to wipe the slate clean for the team of just my faves, or can i make them work? who, if anyone, should i switch out on either team? again, i'm a noob to vgc so i'm very much still learning. tysm for ur patience w me in advance!!! 🙂↕️💙
