plaidforest-21 OP

It's not just its individual moveset cause yknow I have to built an actual team

hazelpixel-44

I think you want farigiraf or tsareena since its really vulnerable to priority

plaidforest-21 OP

Yeah I want a way around its ground weakness so perhaps could partner it with Basculegion?

hazelpixel-44

yeah scarf basculegion can pick off faster stuff

hazelpixel-44

most common ground is garchomp so maybe something to deal with that

plaidforest-21 OP

Mega Rairai Y, Sylveon and Basculegion

plaidforest-21 OP

I think it sounds strong

plaidforest-21 OP

My main idea rn is Raichu Y, Sylveon, Basculegion, Aerodactyl, Tsareena and Incineroar

hazelpixel-44

yeah that sounds pretty strong

hazelpixel-44

I was gonna suggest tailwind too so aero is nice

plaidforest-21 OP

Anybody got a suggestion for a better third move for Raichu?

plaidforest-21 OP

I'm Running Zap Cannon, Focus Blast, Fake Out and Protect

plaidforest-21 OP

Fake out for utility mostly and the other two are cause well

plaidforest-21 OP

Currently struggling into Mega Staraptor ironically lol it's so hard to stop

plaidforest-21 OP

I think the way to bring out the full potential of Mega Rai Y is to pair it with a ground type and spam discharge

plaidforest-21 OP

Any ideas guys?

It would be if not thanks to contrary

plaidforest-21 OP

Casual battles have people team testing constantly rn, the conclusion I achieved was this. Charizard Y is the main idea of mega with Raichu both playing support and mega evolution at the same time. Charizard Y and Venusaur have positive synergy double rock slide dragon claw and earthquake stomping tantrum from Garchomp also ramp up more offensive output and Venusaur puts things to sleep as usual and really fast under the sun. Sylveons here for fairy offense and Aerodactyl offers speed control, I think a ton of changes can still be made but I'm exhausted from building this for like an hour or two
