Optimize Your Lucario-Z & Froslass VGC Team | Pokémon Champi
Summary
This announcement in the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server focuses on optimizing a competitive team featuring Lucario-Z and Froslass. The discussion covers EV spread adjustments and potential replacements for Milotic to improve speed control and damage output. It is a valuable resource for players looking to refine their strategies and improve their performance in the current VGC format.
Hey there folks, I need some help on two things, EV spreads and a possible mon replacement.
This is the team I have been running in champs since the new format dropped and I found out M-Bax is a fraud 😭
Basically, the game plan is simple, go fast and hit things. Incin and Rilla give good support in fake out/knock off/terrain/parting shot/intimidate. Milotic is there to dissuade intimidates on my physical attackers, help on the zard matchup, and provide the only measure of speed control on the team. Life dew was chosen just for providing some healing to what is a fairly bulky team, especially behind veil. Froslass and Luc-Z compliment each other well imo, with Froslass hitting the mons like mence/gengar/staraptor/psychics/fightings that luc really struggles against, while Luc can do decently well into Golisopod, and excellently dealing with Archaludon/Sneasler/Raichu/Garde/etc.
Biggest issues that I am finding so far is in Milotic, I needed some form of speed control and ideally on a mon that didn't compound my weaknesses to rock. The bulk also helps synergise with the grassy terrain/veil. However, it is not really outputting with the consistency that I desire. Feels very awkward if I ever bring both it and basc to a match, and when I take it with the fake out brothers, I lose out on a lot of damage outside my megas.
The ev's are not optimal, clearly. I am very happy with my incin and luc ev's but am not entirely sure the best practices for the other mons.
Any assistance with improving the team without changing the megas would be appreciated. I am finding the megas to be very solid into the variety of matchups on ladder.
Preciate the time, and can write a more indepth work up if needed, this was just what I could say off the top of my head.
Discord sent us an expired image link.
pinging you cause you were so helpful with the balance team I had for Char-X
Oh I'll look at this shortly. Balance is life
Balance is the way
also, I can't ping team builders
Lastly, is psychic worth running as a last slot on Luc? I was looking at other options but figured this would help deal with the fighting types that threaten it and the poison types that resist...most of my team
Like this haha
tried it and got a discord support message "Some roles or members were not pinged"
That happens to me sometimes idk why
Have you tried grassy seed Sneasler instead of basc?
Maybe swap psychic for dark pulse on lucario for your matchups vs ghost
Milotic is very nice in the current meta, I'd hate to get rid of it here
I was considering that switch actually. I think it covers a lot of bases, i just worry how far it tilts the matchup against psyspam or TR teams. Sneasler doesnt have the same explosive power as basc. Willing to give it a shot though.
If I switch to sneas, will def change psychic to dark pulse. Gholdengo has been a big pain, but often if I see it, im bringing fross instead anyways
Would Grassy Seed Corv be a crazy idea here?
gives me a tw setter at the very least, and flying coverage into opposing fighting types
Maybe haha but idk
Team looks really fun
