a few quick answers:
- no, mega floette isn't an option
- I have a crapton of recruit tickets so I can gamble for new stuff
also do ping me if you answer so I check this quicker
ic
my toxapex does have wide guard if that helps
I do think adding Rillaboom or making a new team with it would be very good as psychic terrain especially is proving trouble
I'm open to a whole new team btw not just tinkering
and no pokémon is sacred btw blaziken is my man but I'm willing to drop it

You could replace tsarena with rilla
You could remove earthquake from Chomp and use protec
Given the number of rillaboms in the ladder, I don't see using earthquake as a viable option
oh shit I just realised I sent my other team
Ae
😆
help with this one is appreciated too
it was very good for me for a while
Gambit is pretty solid (but not against Rilla)
ok lemme clear the confusion that's on me
the team I'm mainly using right now

With the number of mon using Intimidate, there couldn't be a better time to use a mons with Competitive or Defiant
the other main team I have which is the one I accidentally attached to the thread post

How are you going to beat an annihilape with Gambit? 🫂
It is neutral
Not super effective
gambit helps with indeedee but I need to remember NOT to use sucker punch
Maybe a +2 I don't think he'll get the kill in base
why?
because of TR?
ooooooh ok
right yeah
ic
and do I swap anyone on my team?
again nothing and no one is sacred
to help
the bottom row of the box is sylveon, whimiscott, aggron, and ttar
given it's a physical set I presume fire punch right?
it does
ooooooh
didn't know that
sure!
only took me 2 games instead of 800 to win today with your team 🔥🔥🔥

it was a team with sableye, farigiraf, oranguru, and rampardos
I did get pretty lucky with the close combat roll (I've never seen it do 66% to the giraffe before) but even with oranguru managing to get trick room up I managed to get the W
and admittedly my opponent misplayed as they encore'd delphox into heatwave...
...which was the move I was always going to use anyways to try and clear the trick room setter
and also used mean look on delphox (did nothing effectively) and kingambit (did LITERALLY nothing?
I DID IT I BEAT A TEAM WITH INDEEDEE IN IT

turns out the trick is to just use kowtow cleave
...tbf the opponent forgot about how psychic terrain blocks priority moves on BOTH sides (they tried to fake out my gambit) so that helped but WE TAKE THOSEEEEE
