Hi guys, trying to build something with mega aggron, currently got this team below. However I can't decide on a sixth team member. Any ideas?
Aggron @ Aggronite
Ability: Sturdy
Level: 50
EVs: 23 HP / 1 Atk / 10 Def / 32 SpD
Impish Nature
- Body Press
- Heavy Slam
- Iron Defense
- Protect
Incineroar @ Sitrus Berry
Ability: Intimidate
Level: 50
EVs: 30 HP / 6 Atk / 3 Def / 16 SpD / 11 Spe
Careful Nature
- Darkest Lariat
- Fake Out
- Flare Blitz
- Parting Shot
Tyranitar @ Lum Berry
Ability: Sand Stream
Level: 50
EVs: 18 HP / 32 Atk / 1 Def / 9 SpD / 6 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Rock Slide
- Knock Off
- Protect
- Low Kick
Sneasler @ White Herb
Ability: Unburden
Level: 50
EVs: 2 HP / 32 Atk / 32 Spe
Adamant Nature
- Protect
- Close Combat
- Dire Claw
- Fake Out
Sinistcha @ Occa Berry
Ability: Hospitality
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 10 Def / 1 SpA / 23 SpD
Calm Nature
- Matcha Gotcha
- Trick Room
- Shadow Ball
- Rage Powder
Take trick room off of sinistcha and add farigiraf. Give raf helping hand trick room best in slot psychic move and hyper voice
Take shadow ball off of sinistcha and add life dew instead.
and what should trick room be replaced with then
Replace trick rooms slot on sinistcha with protect
on sinistcha that is
It's their to keep the wall alive
Matcha gatcha is the only damage move it needs and has a chance to burn punishing physical attackers threatening your wall
Helping hand boosted mega aggron is terrifying
Especially in trick rolm
What item should the giraffe get as sitrus is already on incin
Your trick room setter should always carry mental herb
thought so, will make a set with the giraffe :p
thanks :)
Sinistcha should have sitrus berry
not occa as there are a lot of zards atm?
or just protect through the heat waves
Protect through heat wave
You have denial for sun already and a hard counter in tyranitar
Give incin shuca berry
alright
Retune your speed tiers
so slow farig with max sp. attack?
Only mons who NEED to be faster outside of trick room should be
Trick room has -7 prio so it always goes last anyways
yeah so now speed investment
Incin sneasler some speed to beat out other base ones who rely on tailwind
80-100 speed is fine anything in that range above its base will be alright for both
so no speed at all on the ttar
He doesn't require more speed in trick room that just makes him slower
Same as aggron
invest the speed stats in bulk then
And everyone but sneasler and incin
Correct
Bulk or their main attack stat
hp over defenses our spread evenly over defense
Hp first
Think about what type of attacks are most harmful
That's your main def investment
this would be incin in current set
Discord sent us an expired image link.
For example aggron takes big damage from fighting ground and fire
Which is mostly physical other than fire
Change darkest lariat for throat chop to deny primarina hyper voice
Since it's water based coming across one will hurt
Though for aggron I invested in special defense, as he already has high physical bulk
That is how you protect against fire yes
If you're already naturally bulky against your weaknesses cover the worst one first
Alright, learning :)
Try those changes out and if you run into a team that's really giving you trouble ping me I'll help you work through it

So this is the current set, should sneasler not be max speed jolly?
That's fine
It won't benefit from trick room much and isn't there to anyways
It's there for fake out and dire claw spam
Close combat to attack enemy incin
Etc
yeah, and the occasional ohko for incin and ttar
Mhm
It won't do well in trick room so use it more to out speed your key threats before you go into it or as a revenge killer after you are in trick room
Thanks a lot! Gotta get my hands on some of these mons first now
No problem
Will try to keep that in mind yeah
Good job putting this one together this far. Let me know if you have questions or are confused about how you should lead into specific things
Will do! :D
Did the first battle just now, as long as I get up trick room I can kill everything before it ends, feels good haha
Also didn’t know armor tail prevented encore
Hell yeah
So… farigiraf and aggron are all I need haha
Ultra 4 almost 3 continuously getting forfeit, and also hard countering mega floette, aggron is bulky enough to survive hydro from rotom, which allows to setup trick room with iron defense
That almost allows me to one shot it after with body press :)
Also getting better at reading opponents
Welcome to the wall
Enjoy your stay
Making your favorite work is fun 😂
Last time I could abuse him were the USUM days
Wasn’t in to competitive back then so only wrecked friends, but still… func
Had a 13 game winstreak one game from master
Then went into three losses, almost master again but decided to put the game down for now
Good idea
Twas indeed, got master ball today, most fun team so far
Still thinking about changing ttar to a drizzle mon, but the current format doesn’t have drizzle mons that I wanne play. So maybe a rain setter?
Feel like rain would be better into zard
Might be overthinking it though as no real struggle against zard have occurred yet
