First Hard Trick Room Team Feedback

Summary

The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server hosts active discussions on competitive team building. This thread features a community review of a first-time Trick Room team, offering advice on replacing Aegislash with Maushold for better support and optimizing movesets for Farigiraf. It is a great resource for players transitioning from Showdown to real VGC play.

Hi all, I've been playing showdown 2v2 randoms for a long time but with champions coming out i wanted to get into real vgc. how does this look for a first team?

i wonder if aegislash may be bad in TR because his slow speed works in his favor with stance change

looks really good so far! Yeah, aegislash does prefer non-tr, you could swap it for a maushold to help trick room get activated more reliably by using follow me. Also, how often is helping hand used on incineroar? Fire type damage is very helpful.

fleetpanther-97 OP

What’s your preferred set on maushold?
Population bomb
Follow me
Encore
Protect?

Yeah that looks good; other options are taunt, beat up/bullet seed if you're using side stamina/rage fist activation, helping hand, super fang, after you, and fake tears/charm. All depends on what exactly you need it to do for you.

Also btw, what does trick on farigiraf do?
