merrykitten-85

I guess the rain mode works a lot better then the garde mode

I mega that packs more of a punch then d nite could be cool their

merrykitten-85

Arch is a tricky Mon but d nite mode needs to be stronger

merrykitten-85

Double dragon bad so like metagross could be cool since he likes rain

merrykitten-85

No

merrykitten-85

Swampett maybe

@merrykitten-85 Double dragon bad so like metagross could be cool since he likes rain

@merrykitten-85 Swampert might be the way
ironpixel-34

The rain mode is missing a mega now we took dnite off :((
Id add swampert over basc for this team

ironpixel-34

If you dont have swampert yet maybe mega Feraligatr?

@ironpixel-34 If you dont have swampert yet maybe mega Feraligatr?
royalpixel-76 OP

r u sureeee

ironpixel-34

Swampert would be better though.. id only use feraligatr if you need an extra mega.

Have you tried testing the team since these changes?

@ironpixel-34 Swampert would be better though.. id only use feraligatr if you need an extra mega. Have you tried…
royalpixel-76 OP

havent builttt my fetaligator nor bascuu

ironpixel-34

Basc is a mon that will fit on nearly every team.
Its a very strong physical sweeper.
Pretty much runs the same set on every team.

But I am a big fan of double mega teams. It allows you to adapt your team to what your facing much easier.
I still say swampert is the perfect fit.

If you have some water affinity tickets id be trying to pull for it asap.

Feraligatr is only if you dont want to wait

@ironpixel-34 Basc is a mon that will fit on nearly every team. Its a very strong physical sweeper. Pretty much r…

@ironpixel-34 Rip 😭 Just keep playing till you get more then atleast you know how for when you get more. 😂
royalpixel-76 OP

soo i really need swampert?

ironpixel-34

I would if it were my team xD swampert is suuuper strong in rain and works with gardi well since she doesn't like poison and steel. And swampert counters them so if your scared to bring gardi you can being swampert. Whereas basc doesn't cover those weaknesses

royalpixel-76 OP

royalpixel-76 OP

wellll, they cant really rewrite my weather

@royalpixel-76 wellll, they cant really rewrite my weather
merrykitten-85

Haha the one turn of set up is a crazy disadvantage compared to them just entering the field and setting weather

merrykitten-85

Turn 1 decides many matches

merrykitten-85

Is why they keep telling you psyspam need to be a option on your team

merrykitten-85

Not the main mode

merrykitten-85

I run psyspam sometimes

merrykitten-85

I’ll try give you an example

I can swap psychic for expanding
When i swap sunny day to psychic terrain on my farig

But my point is her dazzles are boosted too

And the mystic fire also ohkos most the steels in sun

merrykitten-85

Very few matches I get the chance to click terrain and then actually take advantage of it

merrykitten-85

It’s like a bonus mode that’s crazy powerful and visually appealing haha

It’s alot more viable when indeedee is back. Setting terrain when she comes out like the weather setters are in this format

@merrykitten-85 It’s like a bonus mode that’s crazy powerful and visually appealing haha It’s alot more viable when…
royalpixel-76 OP

royalpixel-76 OP

@royalpixel-76 my politoed has low kick!
merrykitten-85

NO

merrykitten-85

Use Pikalytics before making any of these decision haha

merrykitten-85

https://www.pikalytics.com/

@merrykitten-85 NO
royalpixel-76 OP

but its based on weight right?

merrykitten-85

But also takes your attack stat into consideration

merrykitten-85

Attack stat being used - weight determining power

@merrykitten-85 Attack stat being used - weight determining power
