I actually don't have any experience build a great team. So I just use pokemon that I thought good for countering current meta.

You dont need a redirecter exactly.. you can run a fake out user like their Incineroar

ironpixel-34

Farig isnt getting 1 shot

ironpixel-34

I wouldnt use abomosnow can we change to Crabominable?

ironpixel-34

Also i always like having a second room setter when I play hard tr.
Sinischa is good or hatterene
Expecially if you plan to set up gardi with calm mind coz you waste too many tr turns

@ironpixel-34 I wouldnt use abomosnow can we change to Crabominable?
vividpixel-27 OP

Super easy to use
Crabominable @ Crabominite
Ability: Iron Fist
Level: 50
EVs: 32 HP / 32 Atk / 2 Def
Brave Nature
- Ice Hammer
- Drain Punch
- Protect
- Mach Punch

Set up tr for him and drain punch/ice hammer everything

Mach for priority.. but can change Mach for something like thunder punch for coverage

@ironpixel-34 Super easy to use Crabominable @ Crabominite Ability: Iron Fist Level: 50 EVs: 32 HP / 32 Atk / 2 D…

I'll try

vividpixel-27 OP

So I add Sinstcha and Crabominable. And Its actually good to use, but the downside that I feel was how easy Crabominable to get killed. So I always pair it with Sinistcha

tidycomet-49

why are you running ice punch

tidycomet-49

ice hammer also gets boosted by iron fist while making him slower so you're faster in trick room

tidycomet-49

also run hyper cutter so you don't get intimidated before you mega

ironpixel-34

Ice Hammer is better,
If you feel you need protect swap it for knock off

ironpixel-34

You will mostly drain punch and ice hammer

vividpixel-27 OP

Ah ok ok, then what about the other pokemon?
