Baxcalibur VGC Team Build & Strategy Guide

Can you Rate My team for M-C?

I used laptop to take those pictures. Why?

IS this for vgc? And If you want tips from me, i guess put Max EV:s for scovillain and Aurora veil for ninetales. Idk about you but i dont like Focus sash on kingambit, I am More Black glasses Guy so you can put Focus sash on ninetales. Thats some of My tips what i could think

I think My team IS a balance team with 2 fake out users to enable mega Eternal floette or baxcalibur + some good leads in My opinion. ninetales baxcalibur, rillaboom floette, rillaboom sneasler and maybe More. Items are ok on My opinion, Life orb can change with mega Stone for baxcalibur,miracle seed to assault vest on rillaboom but i assault vest IS not confirmed on M-C so aswell as grassy seed on sneasler but M-C can Be More terrain regulation so If think seeds Will get added.
I think IT got some potential and i really hope to get your opinion!

Anyone want to give their opinion???

Please stop spamming the pings you already ping once don't do it again

Thanks for your answer but i have sneasler for that and garchomp too.

Again

This is the server for that and there are many active people here who like to help but sometimes it's just not the time or they are doing something else and forget

I waited almost 2 days

Thank you for The reply.
I was opting for choice scarf becouse no tailwind or trick room but i could do sitrus build too. I have changed floettes distribution now to a real one those were some randoms from My memory but bulky fast calm mind floette IT IS meant to Be.

I am not a good stat distubutioner so If you guys have some thoughts what my stats should Be i would appreciate that veery much.

Thank you! I really dont know which build should i use... But i Am going to try that.

This IS My team little updated.

I changed Life orb to mega Stone becouse i IS just strictly better and hoping for good ability.

Ninetales didn't change.

Garchomp is choice scarf and dropped earthquake for iron head becouse better coverage againist ice type for example and earthquake just doesn't fit to these team becouse rillaboom + no one IS immune to that.

Rillaboom didn't change but If assault vest comes to The game, i Will change to that. You can recommend me a better item like sitrus or Even a Life orb?

Sneasler IS The Same amazing fake out + needed coverage.

Floette didn't change.

I have now fixed The stat distribution for baxcalibur,garchomp and floette for better ones but i Am not good myself so If you have better to recommend especially for baxcalibur and rillaboom becouse those are New and dont know what should i live with this team.
I wad thinking gholdengo for garchomps place becouse IT could give me steel and ghost typing and Life orb IS free so IT could fit. But idk.

Anyone want to help me?

22 defense is for what genuinely interested

Does it survive something it wouldn't have otherwise?

Does it Ko without one calm mind?

How did I help exactly

Ohhh

Is the team hyper offense?

Can you send me the team just to see?

Thanks for replying charizard! I Will update My stats.

Saw it

This IS My team now. Any tweaks i should do?

Is better life orb

Mega IS better. Life orb maybe in SV but not champion

Sorry never checked but i think The stats what you get from mega IS better and no recoil from attacking. Yes 30 points IS getting wasted but still worth IT. And of course shiny alpha Mega Bax looks very cool in Champions.
You have your own opinion and My Mine.

I dont say Life orb IS not Bad of course on Bax becouse i think mega froslass + Life orb bax IS a good Combo and i have already thought of a team for that.

IT Gets Access to both. But i have ditched My own ideas and Solo made 3 move Max attack Max speed jolly mega Bax. And other are kingambit,sneasler,basc,incin and whims but i Am in school right now so i can show My team now.

IT IS sash coatching sneasler btw, nice thing IT can coatchung to a lot of Pokemon in My team

I try different teams becouse i dont see any good mega bax team yet and bax IS My ALL Time fav and i Will probably play whole M-C with IT becouse IT has potential and Goes well into The metagame right now.

Idk if Solo or Dual mega IS good.
I thought If mega metagross would Be The best partner for becouse they Match their weaknesses pretty well.

I like 3 attack jolly bax but i need some exprience.

Ohhh but you dont get The extra bulk and still take recoil so pretty Even i think.

This has turned into My little Baxcalibur corner showing all My teams. But i have sticked to this team for little while and think this IS pretty good.

I cannot type My team report becouse of stupid text limit...

Luckily AI got me covered heh.

Mega Baxcalibur Pretty basic for Champions. I have two ways of resetting the Glaive Rush downside, plus priority and Swords Dance, which are enabled by my two Fake Out users.

Kingambit Moveset: Kowtow Cleave, Sucker Punch, Swords Dance, Protect. The first three are locked, but choosing between Protect and Iron Head has a huge impact on playstyle (hitting Fairies vs. safety). Having Pawmot instead of Sneasler makes me want Iron Head, but I am still unsure.

Pawmot Moveset: Double Shock, Close Combat, Fake Out, Revival Blessing. This is perfect as it is and brings great positive utility, especially alongside Basculegion. (What do you think, should I run Sneasler in this slot instead?)

Basculegion The Ghost-type centerpiece of my Kingambit/Pawmot/Basc trio and the Water/Fire/Grass core. Life Orb with Wave Crash, Aqua Jet, Last Respects, and Protect works perfectly and needs no changes.

Incineroar A great partner for Baxcalibur if Pawmot can clear Milotic out of the way. Moveset: Flare Blitz, Throat Chop, Fake Out, Parting Shot. Fire coverage hits Steel types, Throat Chop shuts down opposing Mega Salamence and Sylveon (Hyper Voice users), Fake Out enables my Swords Dance setups, and Parting Shot safely pivots into Focus Sash Pawmot, Baxcalibur, or Kingambit. Also acts as a nice Psyspam check.

Whimsicott Crucial Tailwind setter that completes both my Water/Fire/Grass and Fighting/Steel/Fairy or Dragon/Steel/Fairy cores. Its Fairy typing is fantastic for switching into incoming Dragon-type moves for Baxcalibur. Moveset: Moonblast, Tailwind, Encore, Protect. Essential for keeping speed control on this Tailwind-reliant team.

Let me know your thoughts!

This IS still 95% of My team report so dont worry! Just removed some garbage what i could have writed to Make Space.

I Will go to bed so i Will respond in about 9 hours.

Thank you for replying!

I think Baxcalibur IS some what underrated at The start of M-C right now... Dont see lot of teams and everything IS mainly psyspam, golisopod, salamance and something Else. But Baxcalibur IS good against lot of The new ones and swords dance glaive Rush deletes mot of Things while Being only neutral.

Pawmot IS special and for a lot of reasons. IT takes The sash on The team but IT is all worth IT. Being still fast but not fast as sneasler IS fine, Being electric type for water types as milotic, for incineroar becouse usually If IT IS highly physical team, there IS milotic. So If i can take those out, i can get high value from incineroar intimidate againist all those golisopods, salamances maybe and i can shut down IT with throat Chop too.
And Pawmot also synergies with basculegion, Pawmot revives like mega baxcalibur and mega baxcalibur dies again. Well basculegion Gets Even another boost from that and can go to 250 BST!

Yes Basc, Kingambit and Incineroar IS basic but they go so well on this as i have Said here and on The team report becouse i wanted to Make a team with Of Course My Baxcalibur but also Pawmot becouse IT IS The New literal Hidden gem becouse IT was not shown first that IT came to The game.

Whimsicott IS good tailwind as very good but If wanted coba, becouse all These salamances and pelippers in golisopod team. I dont see any taunts and played like 20 game maybe and not a single taunt, so I get More value and More chance to whimsicott live while not sash.

Well that was My reply!
If you have EV suggestions on Icineroar or Basculegion or Even Kingambit If something caughts your eye on kingambit Tell me Please!

I have a ghost type for that so i örefer Black glasses. Many things have trained to live normal sucker punch but not Black glasses

Another Baxcalibur team. Now with non mega Baxcalibur with Life orb. I took The Mega Froslass Pawmot team and took basculegion for Baxcalibur. I really like this team and IT IS very strong.

Anyone want to give their opinions, thoughts or replacements like better items or EV spreads?

Thank you! I was thinking that 4 move kingambit at one point but i have played SD kingambit since M-B with Italian Ice so IT IS hard to switch from that. Idk i just like SD kingambit.

Oh yeah, but thanks for your opinion. I like to use that team and mega Baxcalibur team what cybertorn showcased.

I just want to say that does anyone have any ideas that how could i build a mega baxcalibur + mega metagross team. Few weeks ago i was wondering what IS The best partner mega and k came across mega Metagross.

I think mega Metagross IS The best partner becouse they deal with others weaknessess very well especially Metagross to Baxcaliburs weaknessess, of course you can deal with dark and ghost and little to fire with other 4 of your team members.

Really dont know what other Pokemons should add... I have thought of tailwind becouse bot pretty much rely on that. But If i have whimsicott then IT takes Focus sash from other important pieces from The possible team like Focus sash sneasler and alolan ninetales for example.

Coaching IS a nice setup for both becouse both megas like to Be 3 moves (Bax Glaive Rush, Ice shard and High horsepower + Metagross Iron head, Psychic fangs and maybe body press becouse If coaching). But If Whims takes Focus sash, then My important coaching Pokemon becomes pretty vurnable like sneasler.

So If you have any ideas please let me know. Everyday thinking how to Make noticable threat in M-C

Pretty random team. Pretty physical heavy.

I think annihilape maybe Be better coaching for these two megas becouse of More bulk and maybe better typing and Being able to hit ghost types like gholdengo what both hate and still having fighting for kingambit and other, choice scarf becouse IT IS slower than sneasler.

Yeah i got intimidate pretty well coveraged, dont forget metagross clear body too.

Endeavor was a random move in this team, wanted to test that and change that to encore of course.

I really like SwordFish (Crowned Zacian and Kyogre) team in Pokemon SV and i kinda recreated IT in champions.

I did this pretty quickly so i really want to hear your opinions, tweaks or Even changing pokemons maybe!

I want to add that i specifically wanted a follow me partner becouse If i use rage powder in front of rillaboom My blastoise IS cooked.

And i could add like rock slide to mamoswine for icicle crash or ice shard to deal with fire types better like Charizard Y.

I have figured out a team which i took some inspiration from Aaron Zhang's Mega Garchomp Z video but i have My own ideas too.

So Baxcalibur IS Simple 3 attack becouse i got coaching on sneasler.

Alolan Ninetales giving baxcalibur very good sustainability from snow and Aurora veil, Ninetales IS nice with Mega Metagross too and ninetales giving this team weather control.

Sneasler IS here to coach My Megas and giving fighting and poison coverage which IS nice.

Volcarona was really The missing piece from My teams. Works really good with Baxcalibur, Rillaboom and Metagross very nicely.

Rillaboom IS here to giving terrain control to The team so enemies can't expanding force me to death.

Metagross IS My second mega becouse baxcalibur IS not always The best mega so metagross IS Ere to deal with fairies, fighting and rock types and resisting steel and dragon.

I Am really Happy that i builded a great team around Mega Baxcalibur and Mega Metagross finally. Really really want to hear your opinions

Nice IS that The team what haydunn featured? Metagross IS very good in this format but what do you think of My team.

If you want recognition for your team or something, Make your own thread becouse this IS My Baxcalibur thread so not Many people see your metagross rain team.

IT was pokeaim what featured that steel roller but IT was not your team. Pretty nice team you got are you doing good with that team?

make your own thread

dont do stuff like that in someone else’s thread

These are My Dual mega Baxcalibur, Solo mega Baxcalibur and Life orb Baxcalibur teams what i have Been using on Regulation M-C

And Chop Chop you can take inspiration from these IF you want, no pressure of course.

This is what I'm using
