Dragapult x Gardevoir VGC Team Build & Strategy
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments community is analyzing a new Dragapult and Gardevoir core. This discussion covers move set optimization, including the use of Focus Blast versus Aura Sphere, and strategies for handling common meta threats like Maushold and Garchomp. Members are actively refining the team composition to improve endgame performance and testing new offensive intimidators like Tauros Aqua.
Built this last night, what are we thinking?
Coverage
Its come up into rain
Garde has just eh other options
Only options are like mystical fire and grass knot
Yeah
I mean garde just likes clicking hyper voice
Garde icy wind isn’t even doing that much damage, not great for being our mega
Focus blast over aura sphere because sphere doesnt ohko arch
Mon just becomes budget floette
Jolly dragon claw doesn’t always ohko chomp
Yep
Ohkoing chomp is more important
Pretty good
I played gard for a rly long time, your options are rly tr, vacuum wave, mystical fire, calm mind and focus blast.
You will almost never use vacuum wave or tr, mystical fire is too weak and calm mind just makes it feel like a worse floette
I did use tr, but you need a secondary tr setter to rly justify it
I mean i only hit random slop and rain so far
And pults only bad matchups is maushold
I mean the plan with the team in general is lead pult + talonflame so garde and someone else in the back clean up
Yeah
I just hit 7 maushold in a row on showdown
Are we deadass
The only mon I DON’T like to see with this team
Ok something is missing
the team always gets so close but loses in endgame
Pult + Talonflame + Gardevoir are keepers
Idk bout the rest
I want a more offensive intimidator
Gonna try tauros aqua
Is it too crazy running Adamant? Does any threat outspeeds Adamant Dragapult?
Asking for myself too as I still want to add it to a team
If draco meteor ohkos without spa investment that's really cool because then you don't care for the stat drops
I just hate the draco accuracy
Been seeing people run Gyarados with Power Whip to check Swampert
Cool
