i wanna give mega crab a try but i don't know how to use a hard TR team
any advice
i played 2 games and won but it feels awkward
You wanna either start with incine and farig if they have a way to taunt or kill farig first turn or you can start crab and farig protect and t room so you have maximum offense and maybe run basculegion as your sixth with choice scarf to seal the deal after t room
I also like sylveon more than prim but they both work well
Also life dew instead of shadow ball for sin is a good move
Trade Gholdengo for torkoal.
Torkoal is nearly essential on tr teams. He us just so good in tr.
i would slot on milotic instead of prim but i don't have her
Prim is better then milo for tr
I just have her here as like a fire deterrent
That was my crab team
yeah that's what i did both game
the start and end is pretty easy to play it's just something I'm not used to because i kinda hate trick room
If you want to play hard tr you bring 2 tr setters which you have. Once tr goes down you bring sini in to set it again.
You pretty much want no speed because you will ALWAYS be under trick room.
Tr is super fun to me though 😂
You can consider thunderbolt on farig too.
Another cool tr setter is slowbro with chilling reception. It sets snow and switches so you can have snow up for crab.
Basically crabs job is come in when a lead dies and spam drain punch
