Optimizing the Quaquaval VGC Team | Pokémon Champions

Resumo

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.

emberkitten-72 OP

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!

merrykitten-85

Hmm
Fairies

My bad advice is, is offensive gengar worth looking into ?

emberkitten-72 OP

true...

emberkitten-72 OP

what spread would i want then?

merrykitten-85

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

merrykitten-85

Maybe you can afford some bulk

emberkitten-72 OP

mayyybe

emberkitten-72 OP

biggest issue is ground moves and psyspam

emberkitten-72 OP

which are both dealt with by aero and indeedee follow me

emberkitten-72 OP

and what would counter arch???

merrykitten-85

Yeah lots of teams have ground weaknesses it’s kinda just how it is sometimes

Those weaknesses tho I felt were covered by corv

merrykitten-85

His always kinda meh tho

emberkitten-72 OP

true....

@emberkitten-72 and what would counter arch???
emberkitten-72 OP

still this can of worms to open

merrykitten-85

Any other flying type ? I wish corv could fit on my team for the same reasons tbh haha

@emberkitten-72 still this can of worms to open
merrykitten-85

Camerupt is ohkoing

merrykitten-85

@merrykitten-85 Camerupt is ohkoing
emberkitten-72 OP

non-mega???

merrykitten-85

Very nice just watching it die

Nah mega sorry

emberkitten-72 OP

what else...

wittynoodle-58

Idk the full context but what about glimm

wittynoodle-58

Sash glim

merrykitten-85

Uhhhhhhhh
Well you were already using grappoct for this very reason

merrykitten-85

And glim is a good choice

merrykitten-85

Even levitates

merrykitten-85

But you’d be putting it in terrain maybe

wittynoodle-58

You get sludge bomb and also ohko into peli

@merrykitten-85 Uhhhhhhhh Well you were already using grappoct for this very reason
emberkitten-72 OP

grapploct feels too weird for this

wittynoodle-58

But arch does wall

emberkitten-72 OP

and with how many faster mons are on the team, idk if trick room even works here

@emberkitten-72 grapploct feels too weird for this
merrykitten-85

Your own arch lol

wittynoodle-58

Trickroom doesn't really work tho

merrykitten-85

Snarl variant haha

wittynoodle-58

Aero, quaval

@merrykitten-85 Your own arch lol
emberkitten-72 OP

...sturdy, black belt, aura sphere??

wittynoodle-58

Isnt snarl just superior

@emberkitten-72 ...sturdy, black belt, aura sphere??
merrykitten-85

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

merrykitten-85

Would you not run electro ? Maybe not arch

wittynoodle-58

Instead of being built to only counter arch you can simply snarl

wittynoodle-58

And gain value with stamina regardless

emberkitten-72 OP

true, but no e-shot

wittynoodle-58

Hmmm
