Perish Trap Mega Gengar Team Guide
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement shares a Perish Trap team centered on Mega Gengar with Shadow Tag, Starmie Skill Swap support, Primarina Perish Song, and stall helpers like Sinistcha and Incineroar. It notes Cloud Nine Altaria disables weather, common threats such as Dynamax dragon+Garchomp and Rotom Wash/Bellibolt, and that the build is hard to wipe with multiple locking and stall options.

Also I keep forgetting you have never seen the full team sheet. Be afraid lmao
Against most of meta this current setup is very hard to wipe tbh three ways to lock mons multiple ways to stall in all combos lmao yeah I miss my old tools but most matches do not last more than 7 turns haha
Tbh the worst of the bunch involve dnite mega
That paired with like chomp is the most threatening thing so far
Rotom wash bellibolt are the other issues on board. But past that all weather's have no bearing on perish floette teams fall quickly to it as well. That covers most of the meta
But yeah in short I miss my gothitelle politoad core 🥲 being almost nothing but ghost and water has been a necessity for defensiveness but so so hard lmao
I may have to look into that
I'm currently set up to all but garuntee all three turns of perish work
