Mega Chandelure VGC Team Building Help | Pokémon Champions
Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members are collaborating to optimize a Mega Chandelure Tailroom team. The discussion focuses on overcoming common meta threats like Big 6, Charizard Y, and Rain teams by testing replacements like Sableye and Mamoswine. This thread provides valuable insights for competitive players looking to break through the Master Tier rank.
I’ve had pretty good success with this team but I have had a lot of trouble with Big 6 (or teams with Charzard Y and/or Garchomp) or Rain, or bulky water types in general (Milotic, Mega Blastoise)
Some changes I’ve previously made:
- Primarina instead of Sylveon to have a stronger matchup against Sand/Rock Slide users
- Sash Kingambit to help with the Charzard Y and Fighting moves
- Rock Slide/Tomb on Mega Kangaskhan (Ice Punch is too important against Garchomp)
- Sunny Day on Whimsicott to help with Rain and boost Chandelure’s damage (I’ve found it inconsistent and generally locks my team into Tailwind mode)
I feel like this team has been really good but I have hit a block around Master Tier 3, any help would be amazing thank you!

You've kind of got 6 mon syndrome here. Your team works super cohesively together. My thoughts were remove the mega from kang and add something specifically designed to face Charizard and Garchomp. The dilemma is that there is really nothing I'd like to see leave from this team to compensate for it.
Possibly you could leave everything else as is and add sableye over whims. This could give you a rain mode for Charizard, sun mode for rain teams and disruption for the remainder.
Whims is the only thing that really is out of place if you remove it's sunny day
Would there be any way to possibly have a tailwind mode if I remove whims
Also I think scarf Mamoswine could be a really good answer for garchomp and charzard maybe
I really like the sableye though
Realistically not unfortunately. I don't really know if you need a tailwind mode though tbh. I wouldn't be expecting to outspeed much even with it
or could I do sableye instead of kang and then add mamoswine or scarf annihilape>
Scrappy kang looks like it really is putting in work and it's nice having fake out for farig. Realistically you can put fake out on sableye but is that something you really want?
yeaaah
Plus you need 2 megas here. If you swap kang for sableye I would brainstorm a different mega for the whims slot over ape/mamo
If I wanted keep a tailwind mode I could do mega aero?
Also sableye moveset would probably be something like sunny day, rain dance, helping hand, foul play
with possibly hh or foul play being encore
if swapping with whims
That would be good yeah
Aero would work
