Summary
In Pokémon Champions a new thread requests suggestions for a Trick Room VGC team built around Mega-Golurk with Unseen Fist. The discussion covers TR setters and leads like Maushold, Farigiraf, Incineroar and Armarouge, tactics such as Follow Me and Fake Out leads, and handling threats like Mega Charizard plus Garchomp. Community feedback aims to improve reliability and turn control.
Hello, im new on vgc and champions, and i thought of building a trick room team to use mega golurk since he has the unseen fist ability. This is my first build for it, i would like to get suggestions to improve it

Stats

That’s really cool ! I run a similar team to this
Armarouge is a strong pick but also a high skill level pick because of his awkward speed tier
I see people using Maushold on these teams too but I’m not sure if his that good for it
I’d prefer to run incin because incin + Farifiraf is a very reliable TR lead
Maushold helps me in turn 1 to set TR using him for follow me/ sacrifice to secure it
Yeah ! I think the teapot can do the same but no friend gaurd
Also gives you another tr setter that can’t be faked out
But I run hard tr and only lead I can find that’s reliable 99% of the time is fake out % farifiraf
Stops them from double spread attacking me
Lets me live to set tr
The maushold usually dies after getting doble hitting, the focus band helps for that. That eay i can play meha golurk on turn 2
Will your setter live against like mega zard + Garchomp lead ?
That’s what I usually gotta focus on avoiding happening haha
I need follow me on my team but haven’t been game to try him yet
I can say it works 99 of the times, the times it fails is if my opponent makes two spread moves and kills them both, on those cases i lead whit double TR one of them being armarouge for wide guard
Haven't faced it yet, so i cant tell
That’s cool I didn’t think of armarouge for wide gaurd !
The spread damage tends to be fire a lot of the time too
Aramourge could help with that a lot
Starting to see typhlosion and zard leads too
Because of mega Charizard Y, but my armarouge has the fire absorb ability so it just boosts him XD
I like armarouge a lot . His really good on the trick room mirror match too
So the build i made is good like it is, or should I change something?
Incin being another fire type doesn’t actually seem like a good pick
Any other fake out user you can put over the mice ?
Let me check your movesets
Mimi is very reliable too hey
I really enkjoged running curse on it
Messes with bulky targets and hits through protect but that was just me I think
I don’t run protect on Golurk because of his on the field and tr isn’t up his as good as dead I figure . He can’t be faked out so I gave him headlong rush poltergeist (don’t do poltergeist) ice punch for coverage and hammer arm
I need to swap poltergiest for shadow punch as I got knocked out of the tournament today for using it on something that had already eaten its berry
Same as torkoal but that’s just my preference
I figure if his not moving first in tr his also as good as dead
So gave him eruption heatwave earth power and weatherball
Weatherball fun tech
Also you don’t need Mimi I’m gettin on with Hatterne and she’s a little more offensive too
But I need the fake out for a lot of that
I also don’t run protect on Hatterne
lol
Trickroom dazzling gleam expanding force (psychic) mystic fire
I believe protect is slightly less necessary on hard tr teams
You wanna be able to kill everything in your tr turns

Let me read all slowly XD
I have spent to much time on these teams but with indeedee their power level is like x2
Yeah but, its not here yet so
Gotta think in other strats
I have been in scenarios where i protect my main hitter (golurk torcoal) because TR wears off while he is still on field, so i can play another TR without swapping
Or so i can protect turn 1, set TR, and attack on turn 2 without swapping
But like i say, im new so i could be doing unnecessary plays
I don’t get that choice much I think if they know that’s my trick room setter they’ll nuke it
But you could Be right
If I'm lucky, the type and bulk of the TR setter that i pick will make him survive, or in the case of mimikyu because of disguise
For those cases i see protect like an option, so I don't have to worry about a bad swap
