Summary
This discussion in the Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server focuses on optimizing a competitive team for pivoting. Community members provide expert advice on replacing key Pokémon like Aegislash and Skeledirge, while debating the best options for hazard control and burn utility. It is a great resource for players looking to refine their team building skills and learn more about current competitive meta strategies.
What you guys, think about this team. I wonder if I should replace Aegislash by Gholdengo, and Slowking by primarina for a more offensive bulky team.

or if I maybe should put excadrill somewhere, to counter hazards.
What kinda strat are you going for?
This one is Mainly for pivoting
Forgot the name in English
Like aegislash & meoscarada mainly for cleaning, slowking & dragonite to tank (if you saw his build, it’s different), lopunny & meowscarada for easy swap.
Skeleridge for burning physical attackers, and to tank too.
Why not use mega Scovillan for burns?
Scovillan is a first slot, so if I use him I have to replace lopunny or meowscarada. Tell me if I’m wrong.
Sorry, I’m "new" on pokemon champions.
Started recently and trying to learn about the building here.
Oh I was suggesting replacing Skeledirge with Mega Scovillan
It's ability can burn anything that attacks it I think
Yes I know, but if I remember Scovillan is mainly a first slots right?
To use
What I'm trying to say is that you can use Mega Scovillan or Mega Lopunny depending on the situation
Alr, so I keep everyone, but I replace meowscarada with Scovillan, and I change the build of skeleridge.
Or I replace skeleridge, idk
Tbh
You replace skelidurge because Scovillan is a better burner that skel
Alr.
& can I do something in my team about hazards? Or should I replace anyone
If I replace aegislash with Gholdengo will maybe help against hazards team.
Not really your team is kinda creative tbh
Thank you
Aegislash is better than Gholdengo
Yw
Alr, tysm for your help?
