This thread provides valuable insights into competitive team synergy and meta-game adjustments for serious VGC players.
Any thoughts on how to improve this team so I could run it in an open team sheet format? One of the main weaknesses I've noticed is Scarf Basculegion, I'm also scared I'm running too much support and lacking in offense.
If scarf basc is a huge issue then I think Gambit might work here
Gambit over who though?
I really like Whimsicott as well as sneasler, so one of the other three
Idk what the others are doing relative to the team
Is the redirection from Maushold super important?
Mausholds idea was to redirect and facilitate knock outs
Well, you stop ghosts targetting Chandelure
Gambit sucker punch does a good job of that
Gambit in general will discourage ghost types
True
Incidentally follow me stops opposing sucker punch though
So does Tsareena
True
I feel like I would but Gambit on instead of Maus, and just being Tsareena to any sucker punch matchup
I'm thinking about the sand matchup too ngl
I obviously haven’t tested this myself but this team looks like it’d have an extremely rough matchup against those tailwind teams with Yard and Garchomp
I've had difficulty on the ladder for any team except that
