I am here to rey various archetypes and improve myself skill lvls if y'all have any suggestions drop it down
I will be starting with sun team at first
Is there any specific pokemon you would want to try out?
if you want to learn different archetypes thats all find n dandy but i think the best way to improve is to pick one archetype you enjoy, and just play it, once you develop that game sense youll be able to play other archetypes easier, all youll have to learn is archetype specific stuff (when to tr for example, when to do the balance dance)
I am thinking for my sweepers to be
Yard
Venusaur
Torkoal
But i don't know if I wanna have torkoal or talon flame instead to have tailwind on me too and quick guard to deal with fake out
Or do I add talon along with the torkoal , venu and yard and take 2 supports but then that would make my team too weak against specific types
You don't have to use all the drought pokemon on one team
Yh so do u recommend me to use only venusaur that utilizes the sun or should I add talon for the tailwind
Only Venusaur is good enough
Oh ok also do weather teams have any kind of speed control?
They did have it but with arrival or indeedee Whims fell off and now most sun teams use Venu as a disruption with sleep powder
And having zard to damage

Is this team balling or getting absolutely cooked...
Is there a reason for kg?
Kingambit yh for support and its strong and immune to alot of the types so if yard doesn't work i can possibly switch to it as a safe hit and maybe ko or damage the opp mon
Since rock has been bad problem....
So anything of changes?
You got Sneasler for rock types
Yh
I just don't like kg on sun teams but that is just my preference
Oh do you have any other options instead of it
I'd say Garchomp
Oh i see it
Very bulky has great damage
Or sylveon
