Pokémon VGC Team Building: Optimizing Archaludon Strategies
Summary
In the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server, members collaborate to refine competitive team compositions. This discussion focuses on optimizing an Archaludon-based team, addressing weaknesses to rain and ground-type moves, and evaluating item choices like the Pasho Berry. It highlights the importance of community feedback in preparing for tournaments and ladder play.
here’s the team
Discord sent us an expired image link.
why is archaludon there with no rain
arch doesnt need rain to function, it just prefers it
infact, this looks like sun arch
the team is really vulnerable to eq spam
it also is quite the risky single mega to run
deals big dmg and tanks big dmg
true
yeha
i had mega kang on it before but never really used it so remove dit
also arch gives steel coverage which is really useful
cuz i tried gambit and never really brough tot
what about metagross
its alr to have a single mega as long as you prepare for the bad matchups it has
yeah
metagross could probs work
my main bad matchup is rain
they're both weak to ghost keep in mind
yeah i did think of that
you might want basculegion then
true
my main bad matchup is basc and rain
if u wanna beat em join em
who’d i replace for basc?
or if thats the case you might want to replace sitrus on incin for pasho
is pasho water berry or ground?
who does the least?
shuca is ground, pasho is water
ah
berry names are so confusing
i remember chople and colbur
currently probs incin
it can survive a wave crash from bascu after an intimidate and get a ko back with lariat
if you have pasho
also tanks weather ball from peli
but i probs havent play tested the team enough to know for sure ive mainly used it in tournament and a lil on ladder
cuz my main mode for this team is chand chomp whims and arch
then typically incin and sini swap out for like chomp normally
you can run that for a bit and see how that feels
true
will probs test on showdown tmrw
