One of my better teams that I’ve made
Well you alr have 12 eyes on the team
Might be a bit difficult to get more
Honestly, no notes, well done. Unless you want to get cheeky and run sand force mega garchomp. I don't think that would make the team better at all though
The only thing I keep noticing is choice scarf and aqua jet are almost completely useless when paired together. Otherwise everything looks solid
I do have 2 notes, I am a bit worried abt using sash venu on sand cuz you'll break your own sash and maybe basc could be houndstone but I don't think it makes too much of a difference
Yah, after posting it clicked that the Value of Sash was inconsistent
I think sash excadrill and life orb venu makes more sense
Or you could just replace venu with something else bug there aren't that many good grass mons rn aside from the supports
Torterra is pretty nice right now. It gets wide guard, screens, is immune to sand, and wood hammer/headlong rush can pick up a lot of KOs. The downside between it and venusaur is that it can be intimidated and is much slower with 4x weakness to ice.
Torterra is in the game?
oh wow it is lol
Wait shoot ni
You have 5 physical attackers
Adding torterra would mean you literally have no special attackers
