Mega-Froslass Team Feedback & Counters
Join CommunitySummary
In Pokémon Champions this announcement shares a Mega-Froslass-based team and asks for feedback on coverage versus threats like Mega-Gengar, Mega-Charizard-Y, Mega-Metagross, Mega-Guardevoir psyspam, Mega-Kangaskhan, and Dondozo Tatsugiri. The poster is unsure about Whimsicott moves (taunt, helping hand, encore), water answers, and whether to swap Primarina for Rotom-Wash. It discusses leads (Whimsicott+Arcanine) and Choice Scarf Arcanine to handle Charizard.

I made a team based on Mega-Froslass, using Pokemon available to Champions and tried to cover for expected threats notably:
- Mega-Gengar
- Mega-Guardevoir Psyspam
- Mega-Froslass
- Mega-Charizard-Y
- Mega-Metagross
- Mega-Kangaskhan (hopefully)
- Dondozo Tatsugiri (hopefully)
I am not entirely sure About the last 2 Moves of Whimsicott. I would like taunt (especially to stop trick room) and helping hand (to boost the spread moves of froslass, arcanine or primarina if needed), but i am unsure if i shouldn't got for encore over one of those above, to punish status and setup.
Also I can't hit water really hard and I am unsure if neutral dmg is strong enough against strong water types like Dondozo
I know we don't know how the meta could look like and I cannot think about every situation, but any Ideas on what else to cover and how?
I think using arcanine as your answer to zard is a good idea, but you're going about it with a bit too much overkill in just this case. Choice scarf is the need here for arcanine to outspeed zard, and zard dies with a rock slide, so you don't have your main answer dead before moving. Primarina also isn't the best answer, since you essentially have to win the weather war, while switching in a mon that dies to heat wave.
The idea was to lead with whimsicott + arcanine so i would outspeed basically everything, unless they setup tailwind aswell. I think prim is the weakest pick, but what other mon could be good, that ideally has a dondozu answer (haze)
I have thought about swapping primarina with rotom wash for electric coverage, which can hit charizard aswell and it could cripple physical attackers like dondozo with will o whisp
