Help Building Galvantula Thunder Team
Summary
The Pokémon Champions community discussion centers on a user's attempt to build a competitive Doubles OU team around Galvantula, specifically leveraging its Compound Eyes ability to make the move Thunder highly accurate. Initial feedback suggested Galvantula's Special Attack stat is too low for sweeping compared to alternatives like Regieleki, leading to a debate about tier legality. Ultimately, the thread evolved into demonstrating that Galvantula functions best as a strong supporter providing ...
Hi! I wanted to make a Pokémon team with the Pokémon Galvantula, becouse hes my favourite and its the only Pokémon having the Compound Eyes that its a electric type, so my plan is use it with the move Thunder so he get stab and 91% acuracy. I test it with electric terrain and some more stuffs but nothing end working, and i don't known why but i really want to this work out and i have hope on the strategy so please if you have any idea or you known how to make good teams please let me known. I will be around...

Im thinking some supporter along the lines of this
Doubles OU
I thought on using Thunder, Energy ball, bug buzz and volt switch but the issue is that i have no idea what add like support...
I mean i hate to say it but some pokemon aren't used for sweeping, but garvantula can output some good chunks of damage and 98% of the time para your opponent with thunder wave
I can tell you this from experience, our favorites can fit on teams, just not in the way we may want
Garvantula's SpA just isn't high enough to work on it's own
Ow...
because in terms of doing good damage, regieleki is almost better in every way other than lack or coverage
sorry if i sound a bit harsh lol
I known that, but regieleki isnt illegal?
it's allowed in even Doubles UU
No way
even raging bolt is allowed in OU
Galvantula and regieleki are in the same teir
Still i want to try it at least
Ik, but im saying going for full damage may not work
though pokemon supprise you sometimes
But i have no idea cz i only play pokemon fire red and recently i won in a black game so i have no idea about Pokémons since that T^T
I known he is not the best damage dealer... But Thunder has 120 of power so im pretty sure it can work in some way
ill compose a quick team and see how much it does in practice
K k k k

If you’re not getting anywhere try laddering on like regulation I or f it has a little bit more structure to it and I think forces you to get use to some of the metas
