The discussion evaluates the viability of Torkoal versus Mega Camerupt and offers strategic insights into optimizing coverage moves for high-level VGC play.
Having issues trying to cover garchomp, zard y, and tanky water mons like milotic and primarina (who i just got calm mind swept by 💀)
I usually lead fari blast to try and get a fake out, and if they lead a squishier non ghost mon i try to lead staraptor with fari but considering cutting it because of how popular gholdengo and sinistcha are atm. Tbh just lost with what i should be covering and who i should be running in that abomasnow slot. Any help appreciated!!!

Chandelure can deal with sinischa and goldengo, torkoal will help reduce milotic and primarina dmg 🤔
My posted team struggles hard against garchomp and bulky waters so i feel like chandelure might get mauled
I actually created that team after seeing your post
Also tbh i’ve been slowly losing faith in torkoal
Lol
Hahaha can u explain why? Coz he's very strong inside tr
Couple things
If they stalled out TR a torkoal moving second feels really really bad
Outside tr, torkoal can use helping hand to help blastoise
Since i have a coverage set (eruption solar beam earth power) sometimes eruption will get cut down very fast
Also
Since i play torkoal with blastoise, torkoal’s sun cuts blastoise’s water spout by a lot
Torkoal also can’t do much into zard y
Whereas a mon like mega camerupt who kinda fills the same niche can kill zard y with a sheer force boosted ancient power
But camerupt can't deal much dmg without mega, so u can't bring both camerupt and Blastoise 2gether
Yeah that’s one of my gripes with camerupt too
That’s why i have abomasnow on the screenshot cause i was testing it against teams where blastoise isn’t a great lead (ghost types and water types)
Abomasnow can also click helping hand blizzard pretty easily
This mf tanked a flare blitz from incin earlier today btw he is a TANK
Immediately found the problem with the team... No fake out to help giraffe set up tr if we use chandelure hahaha
I'll work on it later and let u know
yaya
blastoise fake out is p nice

i upgraded the team like that
tbh i just added the vanilluxe in the original team sheet
it's super good
Ah... Vanilux speed is also kinda awkward right?
Btw... What Mon do you drop?
Abomasnow
Vanilluxe has water coverage with freeze dry, priority stab with ice shard, and blizzard
Ah. Ic ic, so you keep torkoal and have 2 weather now?
nop, just cut torkoal and added camerupt
camerupt is super consistent
Oke2. Nice nice
How about staraptor, still there?
Coz imo staraptor is crucial to final gambit/uturn to camerupt
yup
people have been reading it a lot though
it's hard
and a lot of meta mons just don't die to final gambit which
sometimes is good tbh
Hahaha, yes sometime you don't want to give them free switch
