M-Gardevoir & Basculegion Hyper Offense VGC Team Guide
Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members are discussing a high-level Hyper Offense team featuring M-Gardevoir and an ultra-bulky Basculegion. The strategy focuses on using Maushold for redirection and chip damage to set up Basculegion as an endgame threat. This discussion provides valuable insights into anti-Trick Room tech and team synergy for competitive VGC players looking to refine their builds.
I wanted to make a team that make Basculegion the besst endgame threat possible. Its able to take an Adaptability boosted 150 Last Respects from opposing Basc thanks to the berry.
The gameplan is to lead M Gardevoir with support in order to chip opponents down for Basculegion to pick every KO it needs to.
I would like to know if there's anything i could improve

Team would appreciate tr support
You could usr trick room gardevoir, but gard is not very good at setting up trick room if its not protected by screens or redirection or fake out
i just want Gardevoit to spam HyperVoice so i have her under Twind, since 100 speed is still pretty good, but i have considered taunt on one of the mons to deal with Farigiraf, like the sneasler or the Gambit
or give Whimsicott Helping Hnad in order to make that Hyper Voice punish TR setups or smthg like that
or trick the TR setup in order to make it speedy
and make it lose tempo
Gard has taunt
Okay i am not bringing Kingambit that much, maybe the last mon can be a good anti TR mon
Volcorona
Its not rly a trick room attacker but it is rly good against a lot of the trick room attackers
Or maybe aegislash
Maushold with taunt Follow Me could work
specially cause Helping Hand
and Follow Me giving me free turns
and Friend Guard just being broken af
or maybe just Super Fang to chip the opponent for Gardevoir / Basc
okay Maushold was actually the call wtf this thing is busted

You are really support heavy
I wouldn't rly call it support heavy tbh
Hit team just has a lot of utility
But whims should prob have fairy feather
I do not really love whim
Regular whim moonblast aint doing anything
If I were you
And maushold is great at helping make pokemon lower but can't get any ko's meaning it can be bad if its somehow your last pokemon
Actually
I cannot commentate
I don't know the meta
I have Whim cause its the only Prankster Twind around which i need in this team to secure Twind even if the user dies. I do not have Fairy Feather cause idk what specific threat is it turning into an OHKO/2HKO
One thing I notice is that aside from hypervoice you have no spread damage
and Maushold has taunt cause TR
Dragonite and garch
yeah M Gardevoir is supposed to be the one carrying the team early game
You can go talon
And drop rotom ig?
In favour of like
Chomp
252+ SpA Fairy Feather Whimsicott Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 174-206 (80.9 - 95.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Fairy Feather Whimsicott Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 158-188 (73.4 - 87.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252+ SpA Whimsicott Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 146-174 (67.9 - 80.9%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
252 SpA Whimsicott Moonblast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Garchomp: 134-158 (62.3 - 73.4%) -- guaranteed 2HKO
and yeah ik my whimsicott isnt 252 but the point is its killing it in 2 hits anyway
Oh ok then only dragonite
cause i have given it the mere minimum for it to kill frail Garchomp
Ik for a fact that fairy feather is required to 2hko multiscale dragonite, atleast the mega version since I use dragonite
I just assumed it had some other purpouse aside from that
No one's running farther whim
A lot of people do actually
Feather
Its common with like sash glimmora
In what word do we live in
okay yeah it does get the OHKO with Feather
but the thing is
I should really get back ffs
i already have Gardevoir Hyper Voice
Fair ig
i dont really need the extra damage on Whimsicott
also i made the sneasler too bulky
now its faster and hits harder
while still surviving Aero Dwingbeat
but idk if 6hp/27 def is the optimal spread for it
You could try incin
Its a pretty good partner to gard from my experience
nah i need that Eweb + Overheat thing to deal with sun better, and the team is supposed to be offensive anyway
speed control is more valuable here than ddamage mitigation
cause as an example
Well you could use wash rotom and switch out basc
my sneasler is faster than M Aero only if rotom heat hits the Eweb, and then KO it with CC
so scarf Rotom-H is really valuable here
and yes Scarf Rotom is faster than aerodactyl
Ik
at least the one i run with 30 speed now
so yeah Rotom-H stays here ig
i have considered changing Vacuum Wave
but its so good into sand
idk
And its rly funny against cringegambit
true
and M Ttar now that Wolfey made it popular
I do think hyper voice still hits harder tho
but it gets other good moves like Mystical Fire and Aura Sphere
yeah it does but it allows u to kill it before it uses +1 Knock Off
Oh r against dragon dance
like Hvoice first turn Vacuum wave to ignore the Ddance
ik bc i fought against it
and its a cheat code ngl
but the other options are good too
I use tr gard rn but I might consider using vacuum wave since I alr have trick room sinistcha and vacuum wave is useful for what you just stated
Shadow Ball for Basc, Aura Sphere for other threats like Archaludon, Mystical Fire for Corviknight and the M floette
so idk if another option might be good to look into
Mystic fire is interesting since it helps cover steel types like aegislash who are usually rly annoying to deal with as gard
true
if it gets more popular ill run it then
Just wait until goldengo comes back, then use it
oh yeah fuck gholdengo i hate that guy
did they nerf Make it rain?
I think they said that they did somewhere
But its typing and ability are still broken asf
whoever designed GaG needs to burn at the stake
specially cause it ignores Haze and thus broke my ankles in reg A with Murkrow
