Mega Ampharos Trick Room Team Guide | Pokémon VGC Strategy

The team doesn't look bad and I like Cotton Guard's tech for being +3 defense, but I think that role would be better suited to Goodra using Shelter and Body Press to disrupt physical attackers because he cant be critc

Cofragius is a very solid trickrom setter with big bulk

You could try adding Rilla Boom so Gardevoir and the Psyspam don't bother you so much also you heal goodra

Sneasler can work with a sash, but Rilla is better at trickrom and fake out, Or maybe you could try Sneasler Iron Ball it was a set I played a lot back in the day

Or should it be both cotton guard on ampharos and shelter body press on goodra

Genuinely Rilla could help you a lot

It absolutely would I just don't want to use it out of principle

I see

Playing trickrom can be tricky, but I think your team has a pretty good chance

That defensive swamper is good too

But I would give it wide guard to help you avoid psypam or earthquakes

Swampert becomes pretty useless when he doesn't move first I should do something about that

Obviously nothing that's grass-type

This team needs alot of fixing

first off, it looks like hard trick room team and I believe adding a secondary trick room setter would help you a ton so you don't automatically lose when cofa dies

also, you're terribly weak to ground and swampert barely helps with that issue, I'd suggest swapping it for another trick room user

and replacing sylveon with primarina so you can cover your ground weakness while still keeping fairy coverage

also the movesets looks a bit off, cofa is so slow that fake tears will never work outside of trick room, I'd suggest replacing it with literally any attacking move or protect so you can keep your trick room setter alive and stop it from dying after being taunted

destiny bond will also never work outside of trick room too

also I suggest giving ampharos dazzling gleam for spread damage over cotton guard because amphy's main job is to deal damage and gaining that much defense won't help it that much and will just waste a turn of trick room at best

here's what I would do with cofa
Cofagrigus @ Leftovers
Ability: Mummy
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 15 SpA / 19 SpD
Sassy Nature
- Trick Room
- Protect
- Shadow Ball
- Imprison

Definitely not changing fake tears because its the one of the main thing there

Thank you a lot either way

Giving shadow ball to cofagrigus makes sense but I also don't want to invest in spa since all the bulk investment proved itself effective throughout the time I played with it
And without spa investment shadow ball will barely deal any damage

But destiny bond is very situational by itself so I might change it to shadow ball mhm

or how farig has psychic
