For ceruledge I'm thinking of protect, shadow sneak and bitter blade. I want to be able to outspeed common threats in tailwind. Also whimsicott would mostly depend on other members but tailwind probably would be part of the set.

My main problem is.most of the megas I have access to either have a very big bounty on their heads, or share weakness with bountied pokemon. Stuff like zard-y, garchomp and basculegeon mean a lot of people carry rock and dark moves,things my megas are weak to. I was using delphox but ended up being weak to incineroar with multiple members of my team

luckywillow-40 OP

Maybe I should go for a team that loves sun, but isn't shut down by rain?

luckywillow-40 OP

Mega golisopod is quite popular for now on the ladder

luckywillow-40 OP

I don't have any pokemon game

luckywillow-40 OP

I got everything from pokemon champions

luckywillow-40 OP

Does my team have any better alternatives to the garchomp here?

Hi everyone, ended up going with this team . But I was unable to get to Master ball despite getting super close because of some very tough matchups. Namely anything with the stupid bridge and other weather teams

merrykitten-85

Scovolian is a common pick
