Team improvements

happyriver-34 OP

This is a version of THATSAplusONE’s team, I love playing this team but I feel like I never use gengar. I was having trouble with dark types and rain teams but samurott has made that less of a problem with sacred sword and has also been an excellent utility choice. Is there any obvious problems with the team, and what mega would you suggest instead of gengar?

any help is appreciated 🙂

happyriver-34 OP

yup, i just never feel like I can get a substitute up properly which is the only reason I can see playing them over another mon

happyriver-34 OP

shadow tag is very good but if im not perish trapping i dont think it has as much value

happyriver-34 OP

people always see gengar + incin + rilla and immediately bring their offensive dark types, so I like bringing kommo-o up front with incin or rilla to get set up

happyriver-34 OP

oh this actually sounds great

happyriver-34 OP

tbh i probably have a thing where i always assume the mega has to be the offensive piece, but gengar is a great disrupter

happyriver-34 OP

it does both

happyriver-34 OP

yea

happyriver-34 OP

i do like a lot of bulk in my teams generally, my most played mega is blastoise

happyriver-34 OP

but the utility is excellent

happyriver-34 OP

cool

happyriver-34 OP

the original mon instead of samurott was volcarona with quiver dance, should i change that back? is that covering any weaknesses im not thinking of?

happyriver-34 OP

for sure its annoying as heck

happyriver-34 OP

and to them has perish song

happyriver-34 OP

i wonder if i should put encore somewhere on the team as well?

happyriver-34 OP

maybe thats changing it too much

happyriver-34 OP

instant encore plus disable is pretty good

happyriver-34 OP

that would probably have to take the hisuian samurott slot though, the rest of the team is pretty set

happyriver-34 OP

i use it for most of my games to balance out kommo-o's weaknesses

happyriver-34 OP

unless its like a crazy bad matchup

happyriver-34 OP

it just loses to certain mons

happyriver-34 OP

mega delphox for example

happyriver-34 OP

zard y

happyriver-34 OP

kingambit

happyriver-34 OP

but very good into dragon and fairy types

happyriver-34 OP

kingambit and archaludon were the reason i added samurott, otherwise i couldnt reliably OHKO them

happyriver-34 OP

i have been considering using the cheese stick bc it looks really strong

happyriver-34 OP

i just really like the ice punch coverage

happyriver-34 OP

ima try games with both and see which one feels more natural

happyriver-34 OP

what item would you consider giving gholdengo?

happyriver-34 OP

life orb, and give rilla miracle seed or something?

happyriver-34 OP

first game led kommo-o and gengar against kingambit and charizard, turn 1 prot and setup + turn 2 disable and aura sphere worked like a charm

happyriver-34 OP

my opp didnt realize sun wasnt up anymore and solar beamed 😭

happyriver-34 OP

now im having too much trouble with dragon types 😅

happyriver-34 OP

getting back to where I started 🙂 team seems to be working better
