the idea is get corva and quil "buffed to heck" ™ so that in the end game if either one is alive its pretty much GG (unless the opponent is steel type then quil will struggle)
Acupuncture for buffing corvas power trip and quill benefits from anything really but mostly attk
dnight and espartha i barely use so those are good starting points to help deal with the problem that is Ychu
This is not a big complaint but evasion strategies aren't really considered an ethical or consistent way to play the game. It mostly waste both player's time and a good player can shut it down before it even begins. You could use other gimmicks (no one frowns at them) but this strategy is usually considered not very ethical. I can suggest some other gimmicks for you, but if you want you could continue on with it. There is no set way to play the game after all.
yea i know it can be annoying to play against, but i got a shiny quill so wanna use it haha
the team is mostly corva focussed anyway
Okay, how about using quailfish without minimize cheese. I personally don't struggle with it but a lot of people seem to hate that strategy a lot.
what would you suggest?
i've since swapped dnight and espartha with Ychu and grimmsnarl
I'll look through it's movepool for an answer. Gimme a minute.

I think using it's other abilities could give an answer. An example is this one for a rain team that uses swift swim (can catch people off guard).
but this isnt a rain team
Do you want a specifically froslass team?
no she just helps support corvinight with aurora veil
Corviknight also appreciates the rain as damage reduction from fire attacks,one of it's few weaknesses. And grimsnarl screens TM can help with defense too.
yea i already added the grim
