these are the pokemon i have can anyone help me build a team please
raichu and staraptor can snowball as megas in singles
basculegion or supreme overlord kinghambit can be cleanup options
and garchomp is overall amazing
that leavs you with 2 spots
swords dance sneasler could be funny there for fairy types
and your last mon needs to be some spinner like excadrill or staller like toxepex as a safe switch in and to stop sweeps
you dont seem to have any pkemon like that so recruit them when possible
for now you could have something like scarfed meowscarada in that spot
wait i using kingambit but different ability rn
defiant is better in doubles, supreme overlord in singles
what do i do then
supreme overlord
because i might replace my team with cybertrons rain team for doubles
k
your doing both singles and doubles?
thats quite hard for a single mon when it wants 2 different abilities
also rain teams can come in variants, so one pokemon might fit in a slot better than another
wait wdym snowball as megas tho?
it basically means they can get out of control
wait whats a spinner?
rapid spin user
to clean up hazards
and then how "stall" are we talking stall when toxapex
ah ok
also i need to delete some slots who should i delete?
You usually want it to be fully defense invested and have the moveset as if it was on hard stall
you mean the recruits? whoever isnt doing much
and then do u have build for each one
I dont have it rn, but which 6 are you deciding?
toxapex, ychu, raptor, garchomp, sneasler, ill pick bascu or king depending on the moveset
wait i sound really dumb rn but could you maybe help me explain a little more on what each pokemon does
if u dont wanna its ok
staraptor gets out of control with close combat, and heals with roost
yaichu makes use of no guard to hit those zap canons and focus blasts
Toexepex is a safe switch in, takeszs down opponents slowly, and is just a nusance
garchomp deals big damage overall, and its quite fast
sneasler helps your fairy matchup
and bascu/kinghambit come in later to either sucker punch or last respects
hmm ok
wait
could you bunker and protect or vice versa back to pack?
no
