Suggesting Pokemon that mega evolve into dragon types is fine too
here it is
Hola
I'm here 🫡
Ts mono?
thank you
np
mono?
Mono type?
i can definitely ping them too (not gonna do it lol)
not all of them
i'm just trying to make a team full of dragon types
U sure bout that
mono or not
So u r making mono
I guess so
Monotype teams
Are team is made up of one primary type
then no
Like they all share a type
???? But all of them are dragon?????
sorry i'm a little confused
thats a dreadful dragonite set
they are all
dragon types
Greg
but they have a secondary
Little help
typing
that isnt dragon
I posted a pokepaste
little help explaining
Ik
I saw
mono dragon means that all pokemon share a type, in this case dragon
Ty 🙏
I didn't know how to say it
😅😅😅
ah ok
sorry i couldnt understand it that much
U understand now?
that was my fault
yeah
Perfectly fine 😊
it is mono
anyways dont run a mixed set on dragonite
Ok what do you?
Exactly want help on
Greg that's actually average
i mean his stats can support it but you have better things to do
Priority you need
So
just pokemon used, move changes, stat changes etc
He's not entirely wrong
Ahh ok
I recommend one
its the dragonite I got from playing the game
drop noivern for scarf hydreigon
I didnt really build it
Altaria
Fairy counter
Tail wind set up
Good mega
Also good to counter other dragons
go get salamence
oh i was kind of hoping noivern didnt get replaced
its my favourite pokemon
Also sturdy
With leftovers
That's bad
Use stamina
ok
And get rid of electro shot
sash is a bad item on kommo o
He has a point
True
I recommend meta coat or lorb
might want to run iron head garchomp for fairies
True
And no fire coverage??
Hmmm
ok
i'm using garchomp z so i dont think earthquake would be suitable
Yeah scarf
Hydregion with heat blast
No I mean
Fire moves
For coverage
ah ok
i forgot people run zchoml
Against ice
Yea it's a thing
its shiny too
thats a part of my flex
👍
But
...
you dont really need fire coverage
???
Ehh
Ig
kommo o and hydreigon should take care of ice types
They don't
👀👀👀
the main ice type being froslass
who is weak to hydreigon
True /Alolan Ninetails
Btw
Very popular
dies to iron head
or aura sphere
Still
2 blizzards and ur done
🤷🤷
is there a dragon that resists blizzard?
Bax
Well it's neutral
is he worth putting on my team?
Perhaps
👀
worth it?
so so far
garchomp -
noivern -
archaludon -
dragonite -
kommo-o -
hisui goodra -
altaria, baxcalibur and salamence?
that good?
Umm
Yea
i dont know who to replace
Oh
Chomp z with sal mega
Goodra for mega altaria
ok
i suppose
I feel like i need to replace dragonite too no?
probably with dragapult or one of the apples
No
i'm saying that because i dont like dragonite all that much
but if he brings me an advantage i'll use him
ok this is my updated version
https://pokepast.es/7ad0505648f1bc66
https://pokepast.es/032f50b2a1993808
is this good?
I also thought of this too
https://pokepast.es/9b033940ffbe9fd2
ty
Doubles team…
But lacking protect
you need protect
yeah true
i've only got it on garchomp so far
This is not good
Base dragonite is a physical attacker
Why are you running a special set
Garchomp Z too
Its a special attacker yet you are running physical set
And the sheer lack of protect
sorry i'm not really proficient in competitive pokemon
Ability of choice is also terrible
Telepathy noivern
Sturdy archaludon but with leftovers
And electro shot with no rain in sight
No dont worry
Everyone starts somewhere
You will improve over time
i swapped out noivern
i'm usign that now
or that
up
did you check them?
srry im kinda busy rn
ok
no problem
up
up
Jesus
A mono dragon team ? D;
Resistances for days 😭😭
can I get some suggestions if you don't mind me asking?
Im looking now
Not 100% sold but have you tried Dragalge?
not really
i always thought it was situational
Its hard without a mega and no trick room
and kinda useless
It is unless it can have a team built around it
Honestly I like your mons of choice.
Ill read through all the comments too catch myself up and post a reccomendation soon
yeah although i don't really have much experience with them
alright thank you
Is anything an issue for you atm
i've kind of got a shiny fraxure that my friend will evolve into haxorus
any chance he can get on the team?
Yes.. but you wont like who needs to be dropped imo
Ig we could drop dragonite for it
But I would wanna drop your boy noivern
Do you count mega Xard as dragon?
We need something to help with the ice weaknesses
yeah thats fine
yeah
any pokemon that mega evos into a dragon counts
as long as i use the evo
I was thinking of using that big toilet mega
he looks fun to use
Bax is really cool and fun to use
yeah true
i've never really seen him in action though
plus I dont know if his mega is good or not
Its good
Keeps thermal exchange too.
Its pretty nice with
glaive rush
Icicle crash
Icicle spear
Swords dance
ok
and who should i replace mcharizard with?
Id drop dragonite and either arch or Hgoodra
so
And drop h goodra or arch for bax
Depending on which one you prefer
Sorry worded it better
mcharizard
mgarchomp
baxcalibur
kommo-o
hydreigon
goodra
?
Id go mega for bax.. but you can try life orb bax
1
mcharizard
mgarchomp
baxcalibur
kommo-o
hydreigon
goodra
2
Mgarchomp
Mbaxcalibur
kommo-o
hydreigon
goodra
Archaludon/dragonite
(Because bax wants fire types in so the fire weaknesses is fine)
2 options
I see
could haxorus replace someone?
Replace
Bax in team 1 ig Hgoodra is nice to have
6th slot in team 2
I think team 2 is better
Tbh
so i'll use team 2
with haxorus at the end
yeah?
Yupp
alright
i'll hop on smogon for the builds
thank you so much
Yeah I havent made an optimised Bax build yet send through a paste when its finished
ok
the moveset i made for baxcalibur isnt too bad here
oh wait
haxorus isnt in champions
woops
Omfg
I wondered about that
should i use
like
dragalgae
instead?
or maybe dragapult
Its hard life orb drag hits pretty hard
Pult!!
Yeah use pult
okay
Fits the team better
I feel like he's really good too
i know how to use him
Dragon darts is great
I wonder about the item
either dragon fang for darts
or spell tag for hex
thoughts?
this is the build so far
Discord sent us an expired image link.
And what willo spam?
ya
Yeah saw the image then 😂
Bigger hex
You dont have ghost coverage as of yet
Can you run a 2nd ghost move tho?
i got hydreigon too
Answer for psyspam
Oh true
Hydre cooks psyspam
i'll send the paste
https://pokepast.es/f0611bd700ccd4b9
good?
Yeah looks good to me
ok thank you so much for your help
i'll let you know when i'm masterball rank 😂
No you will get it ez
i decided to replace garchomp with chariazard x
and i've been winning WAY more
Really over chomp!!
yeah
shiny garchomp is all looks
not really all that good for me
Xard is nice though
yeah
tough claws are tuff
Tuff claws
Thats why I like Golisopod
yeah me too
i just wish he had a better typing
