I’ve been using this team but I’m not sure about Armarouge or his item. Should I replace any mons or their items or something else. Also please don’t recommend incin, sneasler, kingambit or farig. This team is supposed to be for bo3

is it? because this is a BO1 closed team sheets from what i can see

daringcomet-52 OP

Can you explain how

daringcomet-52 OP

Also I’m using this team in a tournament in a few minutes so I need to be quick

@daringcomet-52 Can you explain how
tidycomet-49

your team really relies on surprise factor rather than reliable tools
ally switch on armorouge isn't really doing much alongside that berry
without the surprised factor and without spatk investment it isn't hitting that hard or surviving too much
whimsicott can be easily doubled up on

tidycomet-49

and with it being slow you're really easy to get encored tailwind

tidycomet-49

although mental herb does help that

daringcomet-52 OP

How should I change it

tidycomet-49

i forgot it isn't just taunt repellent

daringcomet-52 OP

I tried changing Armarouge’s item to coulber berry
