Mega Golisopod TR Team Help (VGC)

Summary

The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server community collaborates on a new Trick Room team featuring Mega Golisopod. This discussion covers essential team-building strategies, including the importance of multiple Trick Room setters, balancing offensive and passive support, and optimizing EV spreads. It serves as a great resource for players looking to refine their competitive lineups for upcoming tournaments.

I’m fairly new to Pokémon and I’ve never really played competitive that much but me and my friends are planning on getting really into it during champions. I wasn’t sure what mega to use but I was really interested in golisopod bec I like its design and I saw some leaks saying it might get tough claws. Any help would be very appreciated!

I haven't really done any EV spreads, bec i dont really know what I need to calc against bec I dont know whats gonna be in the game lol.

Thinking abt swapping rotom for ursaluna

sunnyquiver-34

If it's Tr, you really need another tr setter

sunnyquiver-34

maybe hatterene or mimyku?

sunnyquiver-34

and rotom isn't really the speed you want, it's a bit too fast

wildledger-98 OP

Yeah I think I’m changing that to ursaluna

wildledger-98 OP

I’m thinking about swapping rillaboom for sinistcha if I need another tr setter cuz it also gives redirection, a fighting immunity, and the healing is nice

fleetkernel-50

Yep. I try have 2 or 3 tr setters

On that’s crazy reliable bulky passive
Other two have the tr option but are also crazy offensive

fleetkernel-50

Because you can’t have to many passive tr setters

wildledger-98 OP

Wdym by passive?

fleetkernel-50

Like an indeedee
That learn follow me trick room protect and like dazzling gleam

fleetkernel-50

Doesn’t do much other then supporting the team

wildledger-98 OP

I would say farigaraf isn’t passive

fleetkernel-50

I can’t really tell without the EVs. Sometimes they’re passive
Mines offensive but my lead tr setter is mimikyu and hatterene
If I use far it’s usually in the back

wildledger-98 OP

Mine will probably be a bit more offensive but I’ll see how things go
