I was able to transfer some pokemons from go to home to champions and now I have a shiny Talonflame, Sableye, Gengar and Kommo-o. Any advice with making a team with one (or multiple) of them in it?

You could make a doubles team with Gengar, Kommo-o and talonflame on the same team if you truly want. I would not recommend sableye though

ivorywalrus-81 OP

I think fitting the 3 in may be a bit too much of an exageration, but I would be into fitting 2 of them in a team

ironmeadow-70

Oh I was so confused

ironmeadow-70

ivorywalrus-81 OP

If you want to

The other person suggested perish song which could be fun but it’s also a pretty difficult strategy though strong

ironmeadow-70

Though you aren’t forced to do perish song if you use mega Gengar, it’s just the usual strategy when using M Gengar

ivorywalrus-81 OP

ivorywalrus-81 OP

ivorywalrus-81 OP
