Hi , I recently discovered Champions and I wanna see if I can get to Champion tier.
I got to MB with Whimsicott / Malamar; recently a mishmash of pokemons ( see both teams attached )

I would love to hear your thoughts about what comps I can play with my boxes ( I attached Home and Champions boxes )
And I am looking to get these pokemons for my home in the next days;

  • Scovillain
  • Aegislash*
  • Lycanroc ( Dusk )
  • Incineroar
  • Farigiraf
  • Archaludon*
  • Corviknight
  • Froslass

a. Comments / improvements on my current teams
b. Comps that I can play with my current pokemons
c. Which pokemons should I return ( Champions Box )
d. What pokemons should I get next if not my list?

And if someone wants to pick me up and teach me, I am more than happy to do that! Thanks everyone!

The Malamar team looks pretty cool . I faced on that looked similar recently in champion tho it only had Whimsicott

You usually either play whimsicott or Grimmsnal not both

I play it as Hyper Offense, T1 OHKO Charm + Knockoff into Girafirig or Scary Face + Superpower ( SF being my main speed control on non-Whimsicott games )

*Also almost forgot, I played with Baton Pass instead of Zen Headbutt ( but MB tier has alot of MStaraptors )

Set 1;
Malamar + Grimsnarl / Whimsicott
Delphox and Garchomp @ slots 3 and 4

Set 2;
Alcreamie + Garchomp ( Decorate + Protect // Decorate + EQ; kills Alcre switches into Whimsicott or Snarl )
Whimsicott / Snarl ( for Spd control ) + Delphox
