What is venu doing for ya that the rest of the team is lacking in

nobleanchor-28

is it just speed in case TR doesnt go up?

mellowquiver-61 OP

Yeah

ironpixel-34

More or less. Id rather use vileplume

ironpixel-34

Or trade for a better mega since you already got sini

mellowquiver-61 OP

So uh vileplume is the option then

nobleanchor-28

I would add M-camerupt over Venu

nobleanchor-28

gives you a 100% accurate rock move, works well with sun, and that earth power will actually ohko things unlike venu or torkoal.

If you want the speed though, vileplume for sure

nobleanchor-28

or M-Drampa to complete your fantasy core

mellowquiver-61 OP

hmmmmmm

nobleanchor-28

im a big fan of keeping a scarf mon in the back on my hard TR teams, gives you a cleaner way to close out games that last beyond one TR.

Havent met any zards

nobleanchor-28

wat

nobleanchor-28

cap

nobleanchor-28

scarf basc last respects goes hard. But also, could totally do a sun room team and just leave a zardY in the back for a fast second sun.

@nobleanchor-28 I would add M-camerupt over Venu
