Pokémon VGC Team Building Help: Beating Trick Room

Did you change the team a bit

I think I saw you change the team in chat so that's why I am asking

I wouldn’t replace anything just yet. I’d start by dropping Counter on Houndoom for Snarl. Counter needs you to survive a physical hit first, and I’d rather use that turn to lower their special damage and help your partner stay alive.

I’d also give Rillaboom Fake Out over High Horsepower. Having it on Sneasler too is fine—you won’t always bring both, and it gives Aerodactyl more opportunities to set Tailwind. Your Rilla has no Attack investment either, so if Grassy Glide keeps leaving things barely alive, I’d move some points out of Special Defence.

Grassy Seed Sneasler is worth trying with your own Rillaboom. You get the Defence boost and activate Unburden without needing to use Close Combat first. White Herb is still a reasonable choice, though.

The other thing I’d watch is how often you can actually click Boomburst safely. It works nicely beside Basculegion, but with the others you’re relying on Protect or Wide Guard to avoid hitting your own teammate.

What have you been losing to most?

That's the entire reason i amusing houndoom to maybe one shot it

But they just fake out houndoom and still get tr up

I changed counter with snarl and invested EVs in atk on rilla

Houndoom be like:

Swap doom for incin or something

But I will give it a try

Yeah maybe something else has to be swapped then
