Members provide expert feedback on team synergy, item optimization, and move sets to help players refine their competitive builds for upcoming VGC tournaments.
ive made a fairly generic Gardevior team but it implements palafin, im looking for help with the team, wether thats small nit picks in the stats or moves or replacing entire Pokémon any feedback helps!
this is the full team!
Hellooo
I think there are few things that can and should be changed
Also will tag Teambuilders to help
I’m using drum beating on rilaboom because it’s not a big damage option on the first place and my teams
Speed control isn’t the strongest so I thought it could work better
Makes sense
Ok thanks!, I know flip turn is generally smart on palafin cause it switches early but my team has a lot of safe switching opportunities, it also doesn’t have a strong steel type move
Iron head lets me deal with fairy types without only using sneasler
And ice punch is huge for dragonite garchomom Salamanca and rilaboom
Well I just feel that I’m gonna be using jet punch over flip turn in nearly every scenario besides the start of the game, and I have great switch in options too so it will be easy to get palafin into hero mode
