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.

@merrypanther-19 What kinda strat are you going for?

Like aegislash & meoscarada mainly for cleaning, slowking & dragonite to tank (if you saw his build, it’s different), lopunny & meowscarada for easy swap.

Why not use mega Scovillan for burns?

@merrypanther-19 Why not use mega Scovillan for burns?
plaidsilver-72 OP

Scovillan is a first slot, so if I use him I have to replace lopunny or meowscarada. Tell me if I’m wrong.

plaidsilver-72 OP

Sorry, I’m "new" on pokemon champions.

plaidsilver-72 OP

Started recently and trying to learn about the building here.

merrypanther-19

Oh I was suggesting replacing Skeledirge with Mega Scovillan

merrypanther-19

It's ability can burn anything that attacks it I think

@merrypanther-19 Oh I was suggesting replacing Skeledirge with Mega Scovillan
plaidsilver-72 OP

Yes I know, but if I remember Scovillan is mainly a first slots right?

plaidsilver-72 OP

To use

merrypanther-19

What I'm trying to say is that you can use Mega Scovillan or Mega Lopunny depending on the situation

plaidsilver-72 OP

Alr, so I keep everyone, but I replace meowscarada with Scovillan, and I change the build of skeleridge.

plaidsilver-72 OP

Or I replace skeleridge, idk

plaidsilver-72 OP

Tbh

merrypanther-19

You replace skelidurge because Scovillan is a better burner that skel

plaidsilver-72 OP

Alr.

plaidsilver-72 OP

& can I do something in my team about hazards? Or should I replace anyone

plaidsilver-72 OP

If I replace aegislash with Gholdengo will maybe help against hazards team.

merrypanther-19

Not really your team is kinda creative tbh

plaidsilver-72 OP

Thank you

@plaidsilver-72 If I replace aegislash with Gholdengo will maybe help against hazards team.
merrypanther-19

Aegislash is better than Gholdengo
