rapidwillow-54 OP

Its been a bit since I started out in Pokémon Champions, however Competitive Styles aren’t my field. So I was hoping to get some help!

For singles I was hoping to get a team that revolves very well with snorlax, and for doubles a team that holds well with sharpedo (and possibly chandelure soon, however I am aware of how frail and at a disadvantage their stats are—)

It would also help what behavior or item they should use, tysm !!

If we’re going off of just what you have in the box for doubles, you could build a rain team with sharpedo

wildmirror-28

Pelipper Arch sharpedo

wildmirror-28

You could use mega golisopod and farigaraf for trick room

wildmirror-28

If you’re fine using something like sash sharpedo over mega you could then use mega swampert to round it out

wildmirror-28

Or mega dragonite for more of a balance pick
