Please dm me if you are good with building strong and well rounded teams! #🔬|team-building
I need help with building a pokemon team for doubles!
I want to build a team around pika but I’m not sure who to pair him with or his stats to set
Idk where to start I’m so ass at team building
Char
Lowkey y
Oh okay!
What stats should I set for pika and what moves? Sorry if I’m asking too much😭
No
What the hell is a premium trainer
Tell me if this is straight ass or if it has something to work with

What’s pikas best moves
Thunderbolt
Does it get the speed down move?
Electro Cage I think
Max speed max special 2 hp light ball Pikachu fake out volt switch tbolt electroweb
Makes Pikachu a glass cannon
Lightning rod ability
Lead into rain cores
Otherwise, you use fake out and volt switch under tailwind, and wait for a better matchup, or fake out for second Mon to set up and tbolt or electroweb and hope they give you another turn to volt switch
Pika currently doesn't fit that great into the current Mon lineup
If you're going yard sun you want more than yard that benefits. Ninetales snow doesn't help here pika doesn't help win your weather war just helps trade at least one electro weak Mon and then you're down
Gyarados doesn't sit great in yard sun either
If you want to run pika with yard you need to build more around sun and let pika deal with the threats to it
So something maybe like yard Venusaur Aerodactyl garchomp kingambit Pikachu would do just fine
Maybe even drop venu for sylveon
Here you go

Yard is built to still hit hard but survive a rock slide from aero
Sylveon is built the same style but for dire claw sneasler
Kingambit is built to survive cc
Pikachu is built for what was listed
Aerodactyl is built for max dmg rock slide and to set tw
Garchomp is built to take at least one of most of it's threats
see anything in that paste you would change?
The beedrill
This isn't my team lmao
Donno what you talking about

Also is supposed to be chople gambit over black glasses
I mean it's a common yard team with Pikachu. The leads aren't much different from usual
Pika is just in place of sneas
But they want pikachu
Which is why it's fitted
Sneas

Fixed paste with chople as intended
Sounds like we're good
If they’re insisting on Pika idk if there’s anything better you can really do in this current meta
here is your pika+yard team.
It is built to be as forgiving and as hard hitting as possible
I really like seeing a Chu on non-rain though, that’s nice to see
The good part is even here it has its uses
Good defensive swap in against bridge for starters
Helps win that weather war

Didnt ping me aka the goat
I don't see y'all helping 😭
Well you didnt tell me to help
This would be exactly that
Pika is ass
What we doing
Oh fuck
I calced 0
Hol on
Pika and yard are the only requested Mon from the op
I stand corrected
That is Raichu not pika
