luckyyellow-88 OP

The main core is garchomp + orthworm since eq heals him and allows him to set up safely

Alternatively talonflame can lead with garchomp to tailwind n allat

Victrebel deals with charizard and strong water types

Then sneasler and sinistcha are pretty basic support

worry seeds against contrary?

ironpanther-10

bc you are not that fast its gonna be hard getting it off at time, no?

luckyyellow-88 OP

Worry seed was kinda my scuffed up answer for staraptor, was kinda meh and i had to predict but could hypothetically work

luckyyellow-88 OP

Was usually a bust tho lol

luckyyellow-88 OP

It also helped with stuff like sableye tho which was nice

ironpanther-10

thats what I got
slight adjustment and a nice coverage mega
you dont have to use greninja, but it counters Pokemon like bascu, garchomp, dnite, frosslass, Ceruledge etc

ironpanther-10

covers alot of victreebels weaknesses

ironpanther-10

you can keep no item acrobatics,
but I do like max speed dual wingbeat, bc you do outspeed whimsicott that way and can stop it from setting up tailwind (if it hits and not bulky)

ironpanther-10

but you can keep your talonflame set

ironpanther-10

i like yours set, it suprised me at high elo earlier

@ironpanther-10 thats what I got slight adjustment and a nice coverage mega you dont have to use greninja, but it c…
luckyyellow-88 OP

Ooooh i like

ironpanther-10

i know suckerpunch is a physical move, but it can finish off low hp fast attackers yk

luckyyellow-88 OP

I might keep my current talonflame because flare blitz is just rlly good into a lot of Steel/Ice types

@ironpanther-10 i know suckerpunch is a physical move, but it can finish off low hp fast attackers yk
luckyyellow-88 OP

I get u

ironpanther-10

also i added rockslide garchomp max speed to threaten chari Y with OHKOs
it gives your victreebel more space to deal high damage rather than just dying

luckyyellow-88 OP

Thats actually hella smart

luckyyellow-88 OP

I had stomping tantrum because i originally didnt have protect on victreebel and sneasler but now that they have it its kinda worthless lmao

luckyyellow-88 OP

Im 100% swapping that

ironpanther-10

also greninja can become a nice threat, even without mega, bc if it gets a KO
it boosts its SpA and Speed once

ironpanther-10

so you could finish a pokemon with greninja, get the boost and mega evolve it afterwards and gain the protean ability

How did you make masterball

@silvercactus-53 How did you make masterball
luckyyellow-88 OP

Im just cracked

silvercactus-53

Believable

luckyyellow-88 OP

Plus no one knows how to respect victreebel so i was able to cheese a lot of hard matchups

silvercactus-53

I use this team to live trol my way to mball or something

luckyyellow-88 OP

The amount of charizards and metagross who killed themselves by one shotting vbell is insane

silvercactus-53

Ppl do be that stupid

ironpanther-10

most people dont know about innards out, since it was a long lost signature ability on a unrelevant pokemon

ironpanther-10

but I do love pyukumuku

luckyyellow-88 OP

Yeah that and Vbell is kinda niche too

luckyyellow-88 OP

I dont think ive faced a single one

ironpanther-10

i used one, but I did not have much sucess with it

luckyyellow-88 OP

Yeah hes not great into a lot of matchups

luckyyellow-88 OP

Ive probs left him out of a good 30-40% of games atleast
