Mega Swampert & Staraptor Team Feedback

Summary

In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement shares two Mega Swampert and Mega Staraptor team images plus stat screenshots and asks for improvement tips. Discussion focuses on rain support, Sableye versus Pelipper for rain and screens, swapping Pelipper onto the first team, speed versus bulk EV changes, and sash or stat reallocations like on Sinisthca.

wildkernel-40 OP

The team is kinda gimicky but Sableye is a reliable rain setter

merrykitten-85

Pelli is their

@merrykitten-85 Pelli is their
wildkernel-40 OP

Not on the first team

merrykitten-85

First team would be a lot better swapping Pelli over sab I think

wildkernel-40 OP

Ya I’ll try both

wildkernel-40 OP

I chose sableye cause it could also set up screens for staraptor if I want

merrykitten-85

Second team looks good . Not sure if swampert appreciates speed much or if he would like hp more

If did max speed so it could out speed raichu

merrykitten-85

Also max attack sinis is most likely not needed you could put some more into bulk if you wanted

@wildkernel-40 If did max speed so it could out speed raichu
merrykitten-85

@merrykitten-85 Also max attack sinis is most likely not needed you could put some more into bulk if you wanted
wildkernel-40 OP

Ya prob will do that the stats on sinisthca I have rn were from a while back

merrykitten-85

That peli is actually popular at the moment so I wouldn’t recommend changing it unless it does to one hit kos to often then I’d just run it max speed max special attack with sash

@wildkernel-40 Ya prob will do that the stats on sinisthca I have rn were from a while back
merrykitten-85

Yeah. Noticed she has a naturally high special attack stat for how bulky she isn’t

@merrykitten-85 That peli is actually popular at the moment so I wouldn’t recommend changing it unless it does to o…
wildkernel-40 OP

So you don’t want to me change the stats on pelliper ?

merrykitten-85

Nope I was looking at this the other day unless you’re finding he dies to quickly leave it as is

wildkernel-40 OP

wildkernel-40 OP

wildkernel-40 OP

merrykitten-85

wildkernel-40 OP
