Sorry for the poor quality but I just wanted to know if any improvements could be made to my team I built myself, I usually end up losing to trick room, I’m not sure if it’s how I’m playing or the team that’s the problem, any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂

Why m dnite

Mega Dragonite has 100% accurate Hurricane and Thunder in rain, he’s been super reliable, Pellipper and Dragonite is a great lead for me if the opponent isn’t running weather

I'm ngl I somehow looked right past your rain setter

To beat trick room lead sneasler into it if you think they will try to proc it turn 1. Next to dnite and hopefully ko the setter.

Yeah Farigiraf is where I run into problems, Basculegion and Dragonite can’t ohko it and it blocks fake out which is super annoying. Farigiraf and Incineroar on lead SUCKS so hard 🥲
