Im thinking if adding a way to inflict confusion or flinch to para flinch with Yaichu zap cannon

emberheron-96

Ev for Raichu

emberheron-96

Add fake out

emberheron-96

To help get zap cannon off

ironpixel-34 OP

I was thinking of adding sneasler, original plan was to fakeout with chu, then sleep the other with viv.
Due to yaichus speed it usually goes first

But can't para a sleeping target 😂

emberheron-96

Get rid of viv

@emberheron-96 Get rid of viv
sunnyquiver-34

viv is better

sunnyquiver-34

compound eyes makes it pretty much a spore

sunnyquiver-34

milo needs a bit of setup so idk

sunnyquiver-34

scary if its gets doubled

emberheron-96

Switch Milo mabe for king

@sunnyquiver-34 viv is better
ironpixel-34 OP

Milo does concern me a little.
I was thinking of king

Viv has treated me very well between sleep and healing the team mate she has done very well. Alot of bo1 games is just viv and chu staying on the field all game

Milo only came in due to the Ceruledge sini core

emberheron-96

Ok

@sunnyquiver-34 milo needs a bit of setup so idk
ironpixel-34 OP

Testing is needed but with wide lens its like 1 coil to set up.. ill play some ladder on lunch and see if Milo can hold up.. I really dont like double sleep users though hense why I started the thread

emberheron-96

What even is the plan here lol

silvercactus-53

I just see a collection of mons with no particular roles

silvercactus-53

Or synergy

ironpixel-34 OP

Sleep and sweep

@silvercactus-53 What even is the plan here lol
ironpixel-34 OP

Like I said I wanna add confusion or flinch for synergy with paralysis from zap Cannon

But legit so far the team has just been Vivillon and Yaichu 2v4ing the whole team.. viv sleeps and chu kills.. if sleeps up and chu gets para they dead next turn 😂

Also while they sleep viv heals chu
