Hello im kinda new to vgc and ive seen that salamance will be added to champions so i instantly though of a mega pairing with mawile( since they cover for each others weaknesses pretty well)
Salamance:using it as a special attacker with draco hyper voice for some reliable spread damage tailwind to support the team and protect
Mawile:a standard set w play rough iron head sucker punch and protect
Now im looking for help to fill out the team and im unsure of the duos needs

dustymaple-74 OP

dustymaple-74 OP

Im rlly lost

Mega salamence also generally works best as a mixed attacker, using double edge as it's physical move

quickjewel-96

It is one of the very few cases where a neutral nature is the correct nature for a mon

quickjewel-96

Yeah that works but I really hate sacrificing bulk to still not outspeed a ton of mons

dustymaple-74 OP

Maybe i could use salamance over staraptor in those sandraptor teams

quickjewel-96

It mostly depends on how this new regulation shakes things up. I usually avoid teambuilding until it is announced

dustymaple-74 OP

Okk

dustymaple-74 OP

Can you give an example of that?

dustymaple-74 OP

Could i replace floette for sylveon?

dustymaple-74 OP
