Mega Meganium Dual Weather Team Guide | Pokémon VGC
Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members are collaborating on a unique Mega Meganium dual weather team designed for ladder climbing. This discussion provides critical feedback on team synergy, the role of Perish Song, and speed control mechanics like Tailwind versus Choice Scarf. It serves as a valuable resource for players looking to refine their competitive builds before the new season begins.
Don't have enough vp to train it in champions yet so here's the pokepaste. https://pokepast.es/27d29ce06972e556
My goal is to ladder climb at least to ultra ball 2 but preferably to master ball 4 when the season resets in a couple days. So far testing it on showdown I haven't run into much trouble, it seems pretty well balanced all around but I am also very low elo on the showdown ladder. So far what it struggles with is all going to be in theory as of now and I haven't thought of much, but I'm not good at estimating things like that. And this team was fully built by me, I did use a lot of the most common sets on a few mons but other than that this is entirely me.
Are you asking if the team is good or what?
The Team seems like it wants too do a lot of things but dosint fully commit too one.
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Yeah and just for general revisions you might make
This Purly for Ladders?
Yeah, for ladder climbing when the season resets
Also to explain perish song it’s not necessary to pick up KOs but is more to force repositioning
That works if you have Incinaroar
Because now you also have to Swap
You dont really have much flex too be constantly swapping with this team
Like, You will put yourself on the back heal vs a team that has Regen Tox/Weather Setters/Intimidate Mons/ Fake out Pressure
Why would I run choice scarf on basc? I’m almost always going to have either tailwind or rain up so choice scarf is actively harmful
No like
Im saying with Tailwind
That gives Choice Scarf Speed
Oh
It would be more than scarf no?
Cus tailwind is 2x and scarf is 1.5
naw. Both are Double Unless im bugging
damn
it is 1.5
I think you’re bugging
Yeah
Explains alot
All choice items are 1.5
Time for me too Drop Choice Scarf Bas

lots too fear
Discord sent us an expired image link.
True
I should have stuff for most of those other than meganium though
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Alot....
Also would you say protect or synthesis is better on meganium?
With that many Weakness
I think it’s probably about an even split
Protect %10000
Really?
You Need Too Be Running protect Due too The High DMg Steel/ Poison Types
Meganium is pretty bulky so other than poison it can generally take a hit
Your x4 Weak to poison
Yeah that’s true
Yeah, hence the other than poison
Poison meganium cannot take
One of the most pop pokemon rn
Is Snesler
Both in Ladder AND in Regionals
That’s true
ngl.
So yeah protect is definitely more valuable
If you want too make a team with Megerna
Pick 1 Weather
And Build around it
Shes already a really shaky Mega too build around
& Ice/Water isint the Greatest Weather Mix unless ur running D-night or some off meta, meta counter
True but this team is kind of an experiment more than anything
I wanted to try meganium and dual weather and rain/snow seemed like it would benefit meganium the most
Not Really
Rain Means Hurricane is %100 Acc
Snow means Blizzard is %100
And Charzard Weather ball in the snow is still Ice
True but my thinking there is almost exclusively when hurricane or blizz is on a team there’s already rain or snow on that team too
I think Rain is Great with her tbh
Can you explain Snow?
Snow just feels like you want pelipper, torkoal, or any other weather ball user to nuke mega
Aurora veil mostly, I didn’t like sand because it would be chipping most of my other mons and would break whimsis sash and then sun doesn’t benefit anything on the team because meganium already has mega sol and its partners would generally prefer something other than sun
Grimsnarrl?
What about it?
Screens + Parting Shot > A9
It lets you drop down the power of pokemon ur scare of going BOOM on ur Sol Plant
True but I think whimsi is better overall because without this team doesn’t have a very good or reliable form of speed control
Which it does need pretty badly
A9 = Alolan Nine
Oh yeah
Ehhh
Idk
Is she there just for Veil?
I think aurora veil is pretty valuable
And damage
Yeah
I guess grimm could be better
It gives you Weather War Pivot.
True
And you could Swap Incinaroar for Sneasler then
For Fake out Speed + Covrage
This team was also meant to be dual weather is the thing
Or keep Incin
I see
Welp
Just test it out for now
Yeah
BEst way to make a team is too build, then rebuild
True
Wanna vc?
We can run some
I’ll get everything in champions and then test it some
In a bit sure
Alr, Feel free to ping me when your ready
Aight
We can run it against a mix of MEta and off teams
Yeah
I have 16 ish teams we can test it on
It’ll have to be on showdown though cus I don’t have the vp for all the training in champs
Thats fine
I have alot of them on Showdown anyways
Aight
I think...
Sounds good
I can vc now
Mind if we do it in my server?
Or ykw
give me a sec
aight
Where do you wanna call?
anywhere is fine, do you just wanna go to dms or something?
sure
