eagercipher-31 OP

good evening! I'm looking to revamp my mega blaziken team, but as I'm very new to competitive (I built the team with help from very kind people from other discords) I'm unsure what to do

to help, here's the team and the spreads

as a preliminary move, I've replaced chomp and sneasler with basc and gambit, but I haven't given them sets yet and I'm open to ideas

(also make sure to ping me if you reply)

here

jadeknight-30

i don't think you should play scarf garchomp but id definetely keep it

daringknight-67

have you seen that mega froslass/mega blaziken team floaitng around?

daringknight-67

i think it would be to your liking

eagercipher-31 OP

I saw a few whilst researching online

eagercipher-31 OP

unfortunately I don't have all the pieces but I can improv

daringknight-67

id add trick room to your sinistcha tbh

daringknight-67

you dont have a lot of tools for opposing trick room

@jadeknight-30 i don't think you should play scarf garchomp but id definetely keep it
eagercipher-31 OP

you think it adds more than it takes away?

daringknight-67

why is bro hating on scarfchomp

jadeknight-30

i mean

jadeknight-30

that's just me but i don't like gholdengho here

jadeknight-30

so like life orb garchomp with kingambit black glasses is better imo

daringknight-67

im talking about this one

eagercipher-31 OP

that was one of the ones I saw yeah

eagercipher-31 OP

the only Pokémon I'm missing from that list is toxapek

daringknight-67

toxapex is quite a unique pokemon im not sure if you can replace it directly

eagercipher-31 OP

speak of the devil

daringknight-67

this vexes me

daringknight-67

yeah id give it a shot then since you have all the mons

eagercipher-31 OP

since y'all are already here a question: why do the Sneasler sets run poison jab over dire claw?

eagercipher-31 OP

i remember hearing that dire claw was very annoying to deal with

daringknight-67

dire claw got nerfed

daringknight-67

poison jab + poison touch gets you a pretty good chance of poisoning

eagercipher-31 OP

ooob ok

daringknight-67

so its like

daringknight-67

decent chance of poison

daringknight-67

vs gambling

eagercipher-31 OP

thanks a bunch! y'all are great

eagercipher-31 OP

I'll try it out in casuals before bringing to ladder as I have good success with my mega delphox team, it's mostly a passion project because blaziken's my goat

daringknight-67

51% of poison if that one guy on reddit is right

daringknight-67

the pex is probably meant to be used as a means of bringing in all those frail(ish) attackers

daringknight-67

and to trap weak targets

eagercipher-31 OP

here's what I've got now

daringknight-67

2hp on blaziken

daringknight-67

and max out hp on gambit

daringknight-67

hp takes priority over defences

daringknight-67

also im not entirely sure if the 2 speed evs on gambit are optimal (because of trick room)

daringknight-67

but then again being faster might be better against opposing gambits

eagercipher-31 OP

here's what I've got now

looks good

daringknight-67

btw im not sure what the best spread for the pex is

daringknight-67

someone else can chime in on this

eagercipher-31 OP

I DID IT I DID THE SMART PLAY

I'm trying out a new team (mega blaziken + mega froslass) and their team was farigiraf, vivillion, mega delphox, and espeon

I managed to take out the farigiraf before it set up trick room, but it came at the cost of my blaziken getting sleep powder'd by vivillion

LUCKILY though with a combination of Sneasler (Poison Jab on both Vivillion and Delphox to whittle them down), Dragonite (Extreme Speed to finish those off), and Kingambit (Sucker Punch on Espeon) I managed to win!

eagercipher-31 OP

sorry for the ping again but as I'm a total noob I figure I'd ask

how is the team meant to deal with tailwind? I've lost 2 games because of it (granted one was because I picked the wrong move on gambit like an idiot but still)

eagercipher-31 OP

my previous teams had whimsicott for speed control + taunt and encore but this time I (seemingly, again, I may just be blind) don't really have a plan for that

@eagercipher-31 sorry for the ping again but as I'm a total noob I figure I'd ask how is the team meant to deal wit…
daringknight-67

well for one, toxapex and gambit straight up dont care about speed and dragonite can use extreme speed

daringknight-67

but yeah you are just gonna have to play defensively while their tailwind is up

eagercipher-31 OP

thanks! I'll keep that in mind

eagercipher-31 OP

BOOM

their team was aggron, farigiraf, zard y, and basculeigon

I managed to nuke the giraffe turn 1 with blizzard + close combat, and then did the same to zard Y DESPITE NO SNOW BUFF TO ACCURACY, THEN SOMEHOW DIDN'T GET OUTSPED BY LAST RESPECTS FOR THE BILLIONTH TIME (he targeted the dragonite I brought out in place of lass to keep the possibility of snow alive and) and nuked his aggron with close combat, leaving him with just a basc and the forfeit

eagercipher-31 OP

in hindsight I could've brought blaziken instead of froslass and achieved basically the same result without as much accuracy gambling but you never know

eagercipher-31 OP

maybe then things would've gone very differently and I eat shit
