Bruh

rapidcipher-81 OP

That doesn't even help the mu

rapidcipher-81 OP

Arguably weakens it

quickjewel-96

Why are you even running pult, just run milotic

quickjewel-96

I also don't disagree with removing Volc here. It's overlapping and basically your entire team is weak to rain

@quickjewel-96 Why are you even running pult, just run milotic
rapidcipher-81 OP

Its good into pod, chomp Z and shit while not forcing sceptile and its very fast n good

quickjewel-96

I haven't calced anything because I'm not at my computer, does it not just melt to power gem from z chomp?

@quickjewel-96 I haven't calced anything because I'm not at my computer, does it not just melt to power gem from z…
