Beat Trick Room Yaichu Team Advice
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server hosts in-depth discussions on optimizing competitive teams. This thread focuses on countering Trick Room strategies by refining move sets for core Pokémon like Kingambit and Incineroar. Community members share advice on EV spreads, potential roster swaps, and effective lead strategies to help players climb the ladder and improve their performance in the current VGC format.
Currently run Yaichu (Fake/GKnot/FBlast/Zap) with just like what core mons are meta (Gambit/Sneas/Chomp/Whims/Incin). However I've realized that I struggle offensively against trick room because I havent set up leads that can take out TR setters like farig/tomb. THis is partially because of moveset mistakes (i have been running low kick on gambit and spunch is my only dark time move, which means it struggles to kill farig/tomb for example, which means I cant get enough offensive pressure to prevent TR from going off.
Sneas runs standard fake/dire/combat/tect white herb unburden
chomp runs stomp/iron head/breaking swipe/rock slide life orb rough skin (i keep forgetitng to change sand veil to rough skin because I was running him with ttar but ill do it on next login)
whims runs blast/tailwind/tect/encore sash
gambit runs low kick (considering a change to kowtow cleave since Ive used low kick a total of one time), spunch, iron head, swords dance
incin runs blitz/parting/fake/wisp
so any advice regarding moves, EV's (same old EV's on these mons as the ones you commonly find on ladder right now), or pokemon swaps or how to lead into TR would be appreciated
also whether a second Mega is needed for example and if so good candidates (i saw wolfey run floette for example for some threats on his Yaichu team and Im curious if there are good second megas for this team)
Ya struggling against tr eh?
