Reply

Yes

Reply

It is

Reply

Start is always Sinistcha / Incineroar or Pelipper / Incineroar

Reply

Pelipper if I want Metagross

Reply

sinistcha for trick room and heracross

Reply

The milotic for fire fire type

Reply

All things could be changed, but no Heracross

Reply

Have you considered Arm Thrust for Heracross? It could help get around any Focus Sash users and won't bring down your defenses.

Reply

It sounds nice

Reply

Maybe better than close combat

Reply

Because my def don't fall

Reply

Double check damage calculations but it could be a great trade off

Reply

And Sinistcha with Rage Powder is great for redirecting any flying type moves away from Hera

Reply

With Skill Link is always the max so

Reply

I will change it

Reply

:)

Reply

And Scald just gives more defense for Hera and Milotic

Reply

I literally taked Pokes from other teams

Reply

I paste it and add heracross

Reply

XD

Reply

But I thought about "What need Heracross"

Reply

Trick room

Reply

What trickroom user I know?

Reply

The tea

Reply

sinistcha added

Reply

Then, Incineroar go good on all teams

Reply

Finally, what pokes I like?

Reply

Trick Room is great for speed control for anything that might out-speed Hera

Reply

Bad part of Hera is not slower than a bunch of pokes

Reply

with 85 is risky

Reply

You're exactly right, and I think that's why you should keep Trick Room, cause if you know for a fact that someone in going to out-speed you like say Ceruledge, you cna respond with Trick Room

Reply

And if they're slower, turn it off and now Hera is back to being faster

Reply

I would take out Pelipper and Metagross for other choices but having a second Mega with Metagross is probably in your benefit so I wouldn't take him out

Reply

So maybe take out Pelipper for a different utility Pokémon

Reply

I think you got a great combo going on here

Reply

What could be other utility Pokémon

Reply

I'm new at VCG xD

Reply

I played 3gen VCG

Reply

I usually run Sableye for his Prankster cause it's so oppressive. Or maybe a Reuniclus for putting up Light Screen and Reflect

Reply

Light screen sounds interesting

Reply

It'll def help with giving Hera and Meta more defenses

Reply

You could run a Pokémon with the move Decorate or Helping Hand which will buff any attacks from Hera and Meta

Reply

And grimnslar (idk how to write it) like screen user?

Reply

Ohhh yea yea

Reply

He also has Prankster

Reply

yep

Reply

So Pelipper -> Grimnslar ?

Reply

Ya I think so

Reply

Time to farm it on Pokémon shield

Reply

You give Grimmsnarl Prankster and Light Screen and you cna put up walls before everyone else

Reply

Cause priority cause of prankster

Reply

Perfect

Reply

Result
