Fixing the team a bit

This is the team I’ve been using. Two things though.
1. Mega Glimmora
It has a clear role here, its for opposing volcaronas, zardys and fairies however I always bring Froslass to like 99% of my match ups. Even against fairies I will preferably deal with them with Volcarona. Against Zardy teams, they usually have stuff like scarfed chomp which just kills my glimmora-I know, play around it but even so having Froslass to regain the weather is pretty nice. It can set up aurora veil and heat wave in the snow does not pick up the ohko on Froslass. Even if I’m bringing glimmora it will be mega froslass + base glimmora which makes me wonder what the mega stone is even for. Against dua weather I am even more likely to bring Mega Froslass, though sometimes I bring base glimmora as well.
2. Scarfed Basculegion
Its been doing its job well but I wonder if Scarfed Chomp is better. Covers alot of stuff that basculegion doesn’t, but my own rillaboom nerfs my own earthquake. I should probably just keep the basculegion

youngxenon-79

with a sash

youngxenon-79

its great into zard y, rock slide spam is funny, and close combat + tough claws is good into gambit who has a phenomenal matchup into your froslass (in the cases u dont bring volcarona

youngxenon-79

and it's good into opposing volcarona

Would love to actually

I’m just not sure if its ideal

warmbeacon-46 OP

What if I just sash base glimmora lol

warmbeacon-46 OP

Toxic Debris is funny and I get poison coverage

I’d test Sash base Glimmora before replacing the slot outright. It keeps the Rock/Poison coverage you actually want while letting you Mega Froslass every game you need the weather control. Toxic Debris is a bonus, not something I’d build the whole game around, and Sash only helps while Glimmora is at full HP.

I’d keep Scarf Basculegion for that test. Swapping Glimmora’s item and changing your main fast attacker together makes it harder to tell what fixed the matchup. Your Rillaboom does weaken Earthquake through Grassy Terrain, but not Stomping Tantrum or High Horsepower, so a Ground attacker is still possible later. Try the smaller change first and track whether Glimmora is contributing even when it never Mega Evolves.

i agree with that, you should make sure even base glim doesnt contribute before replacing

youngxenon-79

and you'll find out if its ideal after testing!

Base glimmora does help

warmbeacon-46 OP

Just wondering whether to choose lycan or glimmora

@youngxenon-79 well its been ran with froslass on italian ice before
warmbeacon-46 OP

I know but that team is a bit different from mine

warmbeacon-46 OP

Such a hard decision, glimmora has better match ups into mons like rilla and sneasler while lycan has its other better match ups as well
