Building Competitive Snow & Sun Teams | Pokémon VGC Guide

Summary

The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server community discusses the viability of Snow and Sun weather teams in competitive play. This thread explores team composition strategies, including the use of Ice-type Pokémon like Mamoswine and Mega Frosslass, while offering advice on optimizing weather setters. It serves as a helpful resource for trainers looking to transition from Rain teams to more specialized weather archetypes.

These are the current few pokemon i have-am i able to make a good snow/sun team? Ive been using a rain team and its boring for me. I also have both whimsicott and mega staraptor-if i cant make another weather team, a mega staraptor team would be fine i guess.

warmbeacon-46 OP

If im missing any certain pokemon, let me know. I can try to get them

the thing about snow is that its very flexible

sunnyquiver-34

you really just need the snow setter, and the rest of the team can be whatever you want

you for sure can run all your ice mon, it just gets a lot harder with lack of resistances

@warmbeacon-46 Oh? Should i replace basculegion for mamoswine on my rain team?
sunnyquiver-34

oh no, it actually loses some benifits from other teams on rain and bascu hits way too hard anyways lol

sunnyquiver-34

water hits it harder which even with sash isnt something you want to encourage

@sunnyquiver-34 water hits it harder which even with sash isnt something you want to encourage
