Best Mega Evolution for Rain Teams | Pokémon VGC Strategy

Summary

The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is hosting a community discussion on optimizing VGC team compositions. This thread focuses on selecting the ideal Mega Evolution to complement a rain-based team featuring Milotic and Gholdengo. Members are debating the viability of various Mega options, including Swampert, Tyranitar, and Froslass, to help refine competitive strategies and improve team synergy.

I have built this team with Milotic in mind. However while I was contemplating this team I could not think of which Mega would fit best or that I just wanted to use.

  • Froslass jumped out at first with the Aurora Veil set up and to combat other weather options, however I already have Peli rain so I can mitigate the fire threat to Gholdengo. I also have Grimmsnarl to set up a screen and I’m not sure I need more and I don’t want to be fighting my own weather so I’m not sure this is the correct choice.

  • Tyranitar was another option I considered. He shuts down the fire lizard, he is one of my all time favorite megas. But I have used him every season and so I ended up not locking him in. Tho perhaps I should just use this.

  • Charizard was the last of the weather options I have, quickly tossed the idea because that just enables higher damage against my own Gholdengo.

I have some of the other mega options available and I’m willing to try them out, I just don’t know who to take out or what Mega fits into this team. I appreciate any other thoughts and help.

Well I know what weathers those megas are good for. I was just asking specifically for this team.

Or are you saying since I’m already running rain I should put Swampert in there?
