heyy i’m pretty new to team building, i was wondering if anyone could have a look at my team to help with anything im missing
i feel like i struggle to hit ground and water, but unsure if i need a second mega or smth, but i feel like everyone on my team does a certain smth and i struggle if i take them out 😭
I don’t think you need sinistcha
Something like Mega Floette or Whinsicott or Basc would be fine
hm true
do u think it’s fine w no redirection?
Fake out pressure + your using some of the fastest mobs
You’ll be fine
okiii
Just beware of opposing kingambit can one shot your mega Delphox. Position it well and you'll be fine
id drop rock slide on sneasler
I might have to cancel open league 4 and won't be able to host open league 5
I am very sick
okayyy thank you so much!
so kind ❤️
why poison jab over dire claw?
maybe he just wants less volatility yk
more control ig but i’d rather sleep of para
poison touch poison jab sneasler is a pretty neat set
you get like 51% chance of poison
which is more consistent than the 30% of one of three status conditions
its good for whittling down bulky mons and one shotting whimsicott through sash is pretty neat
poisoning a bulky target is a pretty good parting gift for a frail pokemon like sneasler imo
running dire claw and praying on the 10% of para or 10% of sleep doesnt feel very nice to me
now this is more of disagreement in mindset but id rather not need the bs comeback potential at all by running a more consistent set
yes but you can mitigate the effect that rng has in your games by picking more consistent sets
like if you are willingly choosing to rip raw thunder without rain you cant really complain when you inevitably miss
