M-A Regulations Sunroom Trick Room Build

Summary

This Pokémon Champions forum discussion centers on building a competitive team for the "M-A Regulations" format, specifically focusing on a "Sunroom" (Trick Room combined with Sun) strategy. Key challenges discussed include the lack of reliable Psychic Terrain setters like Indeedee, the need for effective Trick Room setters given team constraints, and the viability of certain Pokémon like Scrafty.

That’s actually a pretty solid pick based on the limited amount of mons we know of at the moment

Have had some conversations about Scrafty lately. Unsure how it’ll perform with its x4 weakness to fairy still but time will tell

emberyellow-36 OP

Its a hard one because ofc we want Inci in the thats spot but with how powerful Charizard Y is and already having torkoal on the team its total fire overkill, fake out support and trick room setting seems to be very slim pickings

emberyellow-36 OP

Also no terrain from what i could see

fleetkernel-50

This is literly the position I’m in

I’m trying to see the footage from that demo thing to spot a indeedee

emberyellow-36 OP

Im pretty sure that the seribii list is exhaustive of whats in M-A but we wont know for sure, Indeedee makes things so much easier tbh

fleetkernel-50

Yeah well it’s not my fault she’s the only slow psychic terrain setter :CartEmoCry:

But yeah I think I can work something out I’m pretty stubborn on hard trick room haha

fleetkernel-50

Clefable
Kangaskan
Snorlax
Azumarill
Torkoal
Spiritomb
Concelduer
Mimkyu
Crabdominal
Orangu
Farifiraf

fleetkernel-50

These guys I think something can be made

Im also very stubborn on hard trick room and i dont think restricteds are going to be allowed at release and NFE pokemon arent in the game, so im trying to figure out something where 4 of the pokemon on my team are banned

fleetkernel-50

Mimikyu is a very reliable trick room setter

sunnyquiver-34

fleetkernel-50

I get to worried that mimikyu and far will be on field at the same time and it’ll feel too passive

emberyellow-36 OP

Part of the reason I wanted to lean on the oranguru for instruct but I feel it just lacks bulk in the way other setters have it

fleetkernel-50

It is bulky . People are scared of it they try remove it as fast as they can

emberyellow-36 OP

Im not really sure about the scrafty hype either, fake out and intimidated have him doing his best inciniroar impression

emberyellow-36 OP

Using zard gives us a nasty hyper offense start using charizard y's mega to grant drought rather than the turtle so I feel like camerupt is lacking options in the same way

emberyellow-36 OP

That would really bump it up I feel

emberyellow-36 OP

Who are the best fake out users in M-A?

fleetkernel-50

Kangaskhan icon and scafty
