Golisopod & Glimmora VGC Team Building Guide
Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members are actively refining a Golisopod and Glimmora team composition. This discussion focuses on overcoming meta threats like Gholdengo and Mega Raichu by utilizing a bulky Garchomp set. Community members are sharing EV spreads and tactical advice to optimize this unique TailRoom strategy for competitive play.
Okay, so i was testing my Mega Golisopod + Mega Salamence team and notice 2 main issues:
-
1: has a very problematic matchup into Mega Raichu Y.
-
2: has a very problematic matchup into Steel-Types, mainly into Gholdengo and Archaludon.
So i decided to look for ground types to try solve these issues and decided to use Garchomp (Fun Fact:i've take something like 2 os 3 weeks to put Garchomp thinking that it wouldn't be able to OHKO Mega Raichu Y with Stomping Tantrum, when i runned the calc and discovered that i was pretty pissed with myself), since i'm using a TailRoom strategy, i decided to use a bulkier set with Rocky Helmet to punish physical attackers, this spread lives Jolly Life Orb Garchomp Dragon Claw and Mega Garchomp Z Dragon Pulse most of the time (12.5% chance to it OHKO). i'm not really sure if this is a good ideia but it was very usefull to kill my opponent's Kingambit other day, and since this would make team have 3 Dragon-Type with 2 of them having a 4x weakness to Ice, i decided to switch Mega Salamence to Mega Glimmora. I chosed because i've seen Mooxie Boosted saying that it has a good shot of being good on this format, so i decided to test out, using a generic set, which is also good to cover for Steel-Types with Earth Power.
If you have any suggestion for this team i would love to hear it! ||@Teambuilders|| (VGC)

You should run a bulkier chomp if you wanna run rocky helmet
Like run some more hp
Garchomp benefits more with investiments on the defenses rather than investiment on HP, and with only 16 EVs left, i thinked it would be better to spend the rest on Attack, but i will see if i can put more HP on it
Is it possible to live mfloette moonblast 🤔
Nope, but can live Dazzling Gleam most of the time
I'm thinking about putting Swords Dance since i already have Rock-Type STAB with Glimmora and it doesn't have a lot of EVs left to spend on attack
You can do that
