Pokémon VGC Team Building: Expert Advice & Strategy

I like the team in theory. You cover a majority of threats and the team seems well balanced with no one damage type outweighing the others.

Two things of note, the first being meowscarada. I understand the thought process behind having meowscarada here. To me, this feels like it just doesn't work cohesively in the team. While it is nice to have the ability to use protean and gain a different type when needed, your spreads look good enough that meowscarada hinders more than it helps. In my view, something like tsareena or farig would be more balanced here.

The second thing is the heavy reliance on speed. Just like being too slow can be an issue, being too fast can cause problems. I see attempts to add priority coverage, however you really are lacking an answer to trickroom. Your team cannot be protected with low attack sylveon quick attack and sucker punch meowscarada, especially with the primary trick room setter being farig. My suggestion is use the meowscarada slot to set a trick room blocker. Something with either taunt or roar. Avoid prankster as this will do nothing for farig matchups.

how can i use farigiraf in this team?

farig can be used actually as a spatkr?

or a support solely for armor tail

i wanna change scarada really i thought it was a good replacement for kgambit since it also has sucker punch + i used it also for milotic checks

• i really struggle against fairy types using this team i dont have a clear answer for it

Farigiraf can be used as a bulky support or a decently strong attacker in this format. Since you are working the fast and frail angle, I would personally set farig up as a bulky disrupter. Roar to mitigate pokemon that want to set up to sweep/put up trick room and helping hand for added damage.

Outright, you don't have any noticeable weaknesses to fairy, other than garchomp. If you are having issues with fairy, it may just need to be an adjustment of movesets.

Speaking of movesets, I just noticed Blaziken. Definitely need to remove every SpA move there. That is doing nothing for you. Close combat, and flare blitz are what you need. If you need coverage, I would personally lose the rock slide, as it is covered by garchomp, and add poison jab for fairy.

what can i change in the sylveon set? is it good as it is? and will blaziken mostly ohkos or chip halfway opposing mons to low hp?

Blaziken is generally good with OHKOing most neutral mons. Adding in helping hand puts that damage to the next level.

Personally, I find having quick attack isn't super helpful. I would either use a setup move like calm mind or something like hyper beam. Hyper beam has the drawback of not moving the following turn, But usually that isn't a huge issue.

soo a farig can run
protect
helping hand
psychic
roar?

That would be good in my opinion

with that i could actually run sylveon first without actually having worried that the sash would break that is actually so helpful

can i actually bring incineroar + farig in the same match up though?

I mean trick room guys do it all the time and they usually are fine

You don't have to but you can

thank you so much!

You're welcome, I hope it works out for you
