I got a good chunk of pokemons and want to play something else than my current team of mega aerodactyl and garchomp (in the screenshot). Any teams, preferably good on the doubles ladder, anyone would suggest?
Not sure tbh
I am waiting to get farigiraf to make a trick room team
I do have some shiny pokemons I just got in that I wouldn't mind using
Talonflame, gengar, sableye and Kommo-o
Not all in the same team
Ouuuuuu
Love me a good Gengar sableye perish
Ok let's take a look here
Gengar kommo-o alolan ninetales primarina sableye sneasler
Gengar with kommo o soundproof works very well. And stops him from being parting shot by incineroars
Sableye prankster makes for wonderful disruption into perish trap
Primarina moon blast hyper voice perish song protect gives you a second way to sing and deals pretty solid damage
Alolan ninetales for blizzard spam and laying aurora veil to keep you alive to finish the perish
Sneasler fake out u turn close combat protect
Allows you to set perish song, deals with anything weak to cc u turn allows you to leave perish yourself
Solid setup if you are wanting to try it
If you are wanting something else, you could try a team with kommo-o primarina main duo core and build around that as well
perish trap is fun
do you have a suggestion for their moves and EVs?
I'd go bulk Gengar full offensive speed kommo o full offensive speed Ninetales half offensive half bulk primarina bulk sableye full speed and offense sneasler
Gengar perish song substitute protect shadow ball kommo clangorous soul clanging scales aura ball protect Ninetales aurora veil blizzard protect and the ice move that's always super effective on water
Primarina I would go moonblast hyper voice perish song protect
Sneasler I would say fake out protect close combat dire claw/u turn whatever you value more
Sableye I would say protect disable encore+damage
Unless you feel the need for an attack somewhere in there and in that case just go best in slot
You can also go fake out will o wisp encore taunt
I think he gets fake out
Noted
Admittedly I've also been interested on doing a weather team but I lack archaludon for rain
Archaludon isn't the only one who benefits from rain
I know, but isn't the usual rain cor Peliper, archaludon and basculegion?
It is but it isn't end all be all
I JUST FOUND AN ARCHALUDON
yeah
rain team
W
uh.... how does smth like this look?
apparently it got second in a tournament
or this
