https://pokepast.es/create My fav team to run rn that I made, having lots of fun with it. It's doing decently well, im getting around 1550~ elo on showdown (havent tested it much on champions yet). My usual leads are delphox + maus, Delpox + farig, Manectric + farig, and sylveon + Manectric. I find this team very, very, fun, and I wanna know if there are any more calcs or spreads for delphox and sylveon (im a bit more inexperienced with them) or anything i should be aware about.

Shit team can't even see it
im sorry gng
should be better
(i grab the sheet before it loads sometimes lol)
Love the dollar store yaichu
thank you, thank you
hey he has some things over ychu
Letters in his name?
no
cooler design
Mega Pikachu way cooler than oversized lightning bolt
but hes bulkier, he gets an intimidate you can choose when to use, and he's faster than ychu
good into ychu lol, they both have lightning rod in their base
baised af
Is overheat doing anything here? What's it for
It helps it hit stuff...? lets me deal with kingambit easier, hits sini, and coverage is just... good?
fire hits a lot of guys
that would be scary
Idk I just thought that was what Delphox was for
You picked roast my team not me lol
yeah, but there are some matchups where i want fire but dont want delphox lol
trutru
M-floette is dealt by kinghambit and delphox
garchomp sometimes proves difficult at first, but sylveon wrecks it
rotom heat? never faced one lol. it doesn't have crazy special attack, does it?
true
incin usually doesn't prove too difficult, in a late game, it doesn't take much to beat it. thunderbolt does a lot to it, helping hand hyper voice does a lot, helping hand heatwave at + 2 even
against pyroar, i set up trick room, against swampert, ig the matchup could be changed for my liking? i dont have a set gamplan to deal with it, though a mix of strong moves, yawn, kowtow, hyper, etc just deal with it
rock slide has proven difficult
i wonder if i could calc around that
im opoen to any funny tech lol
round tech lmaoo
seen it with beedril of all things
i would love to, though, the issue appears that i dont have a move worth swapping
and if sylveon is on the field, then it should be able to hyper at the end of the turn and wreck it anyways in most situations
delphox ttar with primarina? never seen that combo lol
also true
hmm
ill run a few calcs and see if i have any good way around it
true, maushold doesnt do much for me most of the time
dogs btw
I see lol
Is one of them your dog ?
i wish i could have dogs but im alergic sadly
That is sad they’re really fun
I wonder if you can get that fixed
doubt it. would be nice
What is mane even doing here
aurafarming
but jokes aside, its beating the shit outta ychu and aero
dont need to worry about a speed tie
