Ty
Incineroar and rillaboom are like best friends, so that’s always a pokemon you should keep an eye out for
Based off of just what you’ve got gholdengo and volcarona both fit pretty nicely into this as
Well
Zard is like the only real mega you have so i think keeping it is fine
Actually gengar could be an option
Roster is a bit small to make something like 100% concrete but you definitely have the right prices
Oh ok thank you for the advice man

Would this set be good
I just wanna ask before doing since I do have limited vp
Change out one of the coverage moves on Sneasler for fake out, give kingambit sash if you’re doing quadruple offense. Garchomp Z is a special attacker so do Dragon pulse earth power, power gem and protect. Give gholdengo life orb
And that's it i should be done after that?
Sash gambit prefers just max speed max attack adamant, garchomp Z uses max special attack max speed modest
Those are the only EVs I’d say you really NEED to change, the rest can work at just min maxxed for simplicity’s sake
But I can give you some of the calc EVs for let’s say gholdengo
Sure
16 hp, 17 spa, 1 spd, 32 spe, modest gholdengo
I know some Charizards are dropping spa and speed for bulk so if you want a slightly bulkier Charizard I can provide you with a set
If you want full offensive power I’d keep the EVs the same but change your Charizard to timid
Oh ok
All gone..

Vp
Gotta grind quests
Damn 😭
Yea starting out the vp struggle is real
Once you play often enough you’ll get to a point where you have plenty
Especially with the limited box space
Do you think I will be able to go wreck teams easily since this is a new acc with no more than 3 rank matches played
Yh 🥀
If you have a good grasp of what you’re doing yea
All of pokeball tier is essentially bots anyways
1st team I am fighting is just started team of tyranitar the one u get by default
Yea a lot of the early poke ball tier bots you’ll fight are just like pokemon ripped straight from the recruit lineups
Yh
I remember when I first started out one of the bots was using seed bomb whimsicott
My lead is good with rilla and sneasler so this should be fake walk
Sneasler unburden activated This shoul be ez
Once you get the fundamental stuff of your team down it’ll work well for most of the early tiers
Once you reach ultra and master ball your knowledge of the game starts playing a bigger role
Yh I need to clear my fundamentals they are not the best
You’ll be able to build those in the early tiers
Helps you get a good idea of what common leads you have
Due to the 2x speed boost and good moves sneasler is going first doing kos
Yh
Smashed the first team
Keep going at it and soon enough you’ll be doing great
You’re in a perfect spot to learn with this team already it’s basic but still offers you enough that you need to learn that will carry over into future teams
I should prob start clearing my fundamentals with memorizing the typing sheet 🥀
That’s a good start
Most of your team covers it all pretty well so it should come naturally
I am feeling bad for the opp guy he has gholdengo as lead while i have yard...🥀
His blastoise is dead by rilla..
