Empoleon Tail Room Team Review
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments a member requests a team review focused on an Empoleon Tail Room build. The announcement discusses TR options, weather cores like Pelipper or Tyranitar, switching out Mega Gardevoir, moves such as Weather Ball Surf and Ice Beam, Ice weakness concerns, speed requirements for Tail Room, and overall viability for VGC play.
I need somebody to review my new team, and I wanna know if it's as good as i belive it is.
It goes really well, i just finished this version to make a viable empoleon team.
It was mega Gardevoir, but im trying it whit out it
Because of the TR matches
I see he has potential, really good typing, good ability for intimidate
I was testing it so i had the fairy metal dragon core, also physical, but whit out much speed
It is good in TR
But dies to ice
Its like 90% precision right?
Yeah i can see it
The other option was to use a weather changer
Tyranitar or peliper
Sun fries the penguin
I'm still a newbie, but i think it's bad to have two mons with wit same typing and move?
Say archaludon and empoleon both with flash?
Then i should put a rain core on this team?
Or build another team with it?
Ice beam?
So chomp over dragonait and a weather changer for sun matches
It was Gardevoir
Whats the min speed required to be eligible for TR?
Or in this case for both tr and tail
Tyranitar?
On the small info i got to make a good team with empo, tail room was the option most suggested
Or hard TR
And ground too i believe
Wait
Im dumb
Empo can use weather ball
Can play with peli
Just thought surf was the only option
Was aiming for the water grass fire core too
I wish
Lose heling and rage for sinis
Dragonite for hydra its i think change physical for special
Then its 4 special 2 physical
So its good if i possess both simultaneously?
Empo possesses one of both, so i thought it was possible
I was using inci at some point for the fire, and mega meganium for both grass and fairy
It is, but because i was using surf for the water attack on empo, most times my mons die for friendly fire
So i changed her for garde because of telepathy
And having a mon both TR lead and swepper feel right for the team strategy
Yeah, there isn't any good mon with water absor so i believed that was the correct choice
Also there is dry skin but that just dies on sun matches
So for the feedback i got, the play is to change dragonite for chomp, and play with a weather changer
I wanted any other good special water move, but it was that or hydro or water pulse
Sun i believe its the only bad weather for me, the other 3 dont hurt that much honestly
Aerodactyl over talon maybe?
So the team would go:
Empleon
Garchomp
Aerodactyl
Sneasler
Sinistcha
Gardevoir
The fly priority was the reason why i chose him for the tail settler
Guess i will read all the answers on the post to tune my team
Thanks everyone for the feedback
