@livelyquartz-26 What are things i can work on ![image](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1513359190545137674/1…
happycandle-57
  1. Where is the weather for primarina weather ball?
  2. Why kings rock on primarina over mystic water?
  3. Why is scovillian holding meganiumite?
  4. Colbur oranguru is likely better to live kingambit attacks.
  5. Scovillian can drop protect, energy ball, and flamethrower for overheat, giga drain, and leech seed. He shouldn’t have spatk investment as he is a supporting mon
  6. Why are incin and primarina invested in speed?
  7. In trick room, you really need an overpowered spread move spammer, like blastoise, torkoal, or camerupt. You don’t have one here.
livelyquartz-26 OP

Primarina and incin are +2 cause they kept loosing speed tie with oranguru and I want oran to go before them specially primarina

livelyquartz-26 OP

And weather ball for when ever im going up against mage y with like venasour, magenium

livelyquartz-26 OP

Meganium

@livelyquartz-26 Primarina and incin are +2 cause they kept loosing speed tie with oranguru and I want oran to go be…
happycandle-57

Ohhh ok didn’t know this

@livelyquartz-26 And weather ball for when ever im going up against mage y with like venasour, magenium
happycandle-57

Theres probably just a better move

livelyquartz-26 OP

Or just to get other coverage when ever I go against a weather setter and I had put kings rock to see if I could manage to get a flinch and later swapped to mystic

livelyquartz-26 OP

I would show u the change but my showdown on my phone is down

happycandle-57

Psychic or icy wind is 100% better than weather ball

@happycandle-57 Theres probably just a better move
livelyquartz-26 OP

What should I run instead of weatherball?

livelyquartz-26 OP

I alredy got psychic on oran

happycandle-57

Icy wind for speed control and psychic to kill button a sneasler

livelyquartz-26 OP

And hes usually on the field with prima

@livelyquartz-26 I alredy got psychic on oran
happycandle-57

Can never have too much sneasler killers. Oranguru probably prefers foul play to beat basculegion

livelyquartz-26 OP

Oo so swap psychic to foul on oran and instead of weather ball put psychic on prima

livelyquartz-26 OP

Wha about like the stronger like steel types or grass?

@livelyquartz-26 Wha about like the stronger like steel types or grass?
sunnyquiver-34

you have 2 fire types on this team for them

sunnyquiver-34

i havent ran calcs for banette but it might be worth considering shadow sneak over destiny bond on banette

sunnyquiver-34

and since you have will o wisp on banette you might want thunder wave instead on rotom

livelyquartz-26 OP

Wha should I run for scovi ev spread

@sunnyquiver-34 i havent ran calcs for banette but it might be worth considering shadow sneak over destiny bond on…
happycandle-57

Destiny bond is probably better, you’d probably be dropping wisp for sneak

@livelyquartz-26 Wha should I run for scovi ev spread
happycandle-57

32hp 32+def 2spdef

@happycandle-57 Destiny bond is probably better, you’d probably be dropping wisp for sneak
sunnyquiver-34

yeah probably

sunnyquiver-34

you wouldnt be getting much out of prankster however

@sunnyquiver-34 yeah probably
happycandle-57

Getting damage off THEN trading yourself for an opponent is good

@sunnyquiver-34 you wouldnt be getting much out of prankster however
happycandle-57

Thats banettes issue. It has 4 move slot syndrome

livelyquartz-26 OP

Question

livelyquartz-26 OP

Why shadow sneak if most of the time im gonna go first and so far priority moves havent been a super bigg issue

@livelyquartz-26 Why shadow sneak if most of the time im gonna go first and so far priority moves havent been a supe…
happycandle-57

Cleanup outside of tr

livelyquartz-26 OP

Ooh

livelyquartz-26 OP

Is the incin ev fine?

@livelyquartz-26 Is the incin ev fine?
happycandle-57

Should be

livelyquartz-26 OP

Kk

livelyquartz-26 OP

Wa about the rotom wash

@livelyquartz-26 Wa about the rotom wash
happycandle-57

livelyquartz-26 OP

@livelyquartz-26 Also how would i deal with fucking floette she mad strong
cleverinbox-49

A gun

livelyquartz-26 OP

BET

livelyquartz-26 OP

Also wont twave work against me?

@livelyquartz-26 Also wont twave work against me?
cleverinbox-49

In tr ya

cleverinbox-49

But its like an option of speed control outside of tr

cleverinbox-49

And also you can twave your own pokemon to make them slower if you want to

livelyquartz-26 OP

I have the wonderful luck of getting para often

cleverinbox-49

Well you don't need to run twave, screens is prob better

livelyquartz-26 OP

Kk

livelyquartz-26 OP

Is there anything else I could inrpove on the team

merrykitten-85

Psychic seems incorrect on prim
Maybe dazzling gleam over that

cleverinbox-49

Ya true

cleverinbox-49

Or calm mind

merrykitten-85

Calm mind is fun

cleverinbox-49

Calm mind + oranguru = xerneas

merrykitten-85

Would be a easy way to sweep the board against quick teams

merrykitten-85

She hits so hard

cleverinbox-49

Scovillain could also use protect, but it aint strictly necessary

cleverinbox-49

And light screen over reflect since you alr have incin and scovillain

cleverinbox-49

I mean rotom doesn't rly need protect so it can run both but if I had to choose one it would be light screen

merrykitten-85

On that note yeah protect is really good on redirection mons it creates a mind game
And yes light screen over protect you already punish the physical attackers
