What’s pikas best moves

snowylizard-75

Thunderbolt

snowylizard-75

Does it get the speed down move?

snowylizard-75

Electro Cage I think

royalcloud-73

Max speed max special 2 hp light ball Pikachu fake out volt switch tbolt electroweb

royalcloud-73

Makes Pikachu a glass cannon

royalcloud-73

Lightning rod ability

royalcloud-73

Lead into rain cores

royalcloud-73

Otherwise, you use fake out and volt switch under tailwind, and wait for a better matchup, or fake out for second Mon to set up and tbolt or electroweb and hope they give you another turn to volt switch

royalcloud-73

Pika currently doesn't fit that great into the current Mon lineup

royalcloud-73

If you're going yard sun you want more than yard that benefits. Ninetales snow doesn't help here pika doesn't help win your weather war just helps trade at least one electro weak Mon and then you're down

royalcloud-73

Gyarados doesn't sit great in yard sun either

royalcloud-73

If you want to run pika with yard you need to build more around sun and let pika deal with the threats to it

royalcloud-73

So something maybe like yard Venusaur Aerodactyl garchomp kingambit Pikachu would do just fine

royalcloud-73

Maybe even drop venu for sylveon

royalcloud-73

Here you go

royalcloud-73

Yard is built to still hit hard but survive a rock slide from aero

Sylveon is built the same style but for dire claw sneasler

Kingambit is built to survive cc

Pikachu is built for what was listed

Aerodactyl is built for max dmg rock slide and to set tw

Garchomp is built to take at least one of most of it's threats

royalcloud-73

see anything in that paste you would change?

snowylizard-75

The beedrill

royalcloud-73

This isn't my team lmao

snowylizard-75

Donno what you talking about

snowylizard-75

:1_:

royalcloud-73

Also is supposed to be chople gambit over black glasses

royalcloud-73

I mean it's a common yard team with Pikachu. The leads aren't much different from usual

royalcloud-73

Pika is just in place of sneas

royalcloud-73

But they want pikachu

royalcloud-73

Which is why it's fitted

royalcloud-73

Sneas

royalcloud-73

https://pokepast.es/26479bb5b506f52a

royalcloud-73

Fixed paste with chople as intended

royalcloud-73

Sounds like we're good

steadypanther-91

If they’re insisting on Pika idk if there’s anything better you can really do in this current meta

royalcloud-73

here is your pika+yard team.

royalcloud-73

It is built to be as forgiving and as hard hitting as possible

steadypanther-91

I really like seeing a Chu on non-rain though, that’s nice to see

royalcloud-73

The good part is even here it has its uses

royalcloud-73

Good defensive swap in against bridge for starters

royalcloud-73

Helps win that weather war

royalcloud-73

Pika and yard are the only requested Mon from the op
