THIS THREAD IS TO SERVE AS EXAMPLE FOR WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN POSTS REQUESTING ASSISTANCE

This is not an exhaustive list, nor are all of the below items required. This is only as a reference to what we would like to see to best help you.

If you do not provide a description of what you are looking for, the staff team will ask you to delete your thread and repost using these guidelines.

If you are a newer player just starting out, a screenshot of all of your available Pokemon and a description of the archetype you would like to use are acceptable alternatives to the below example. Examples of archetypes include, but are not limited to, rain, sun, sand, stall, trick room, balance, or hyper offense.

"Hello, , I am looking for assistance with my team to brush it up. I am playing a defensive archetype and it just feels off.

My team is centered around Mega Aggron. I am using it's bulky defenses as a backbone of the team. Aggron has a lot going for it. It's ability filter weakens super effective hits and allows it to stay on the field for longer. With body press and heavy slam, it can push out consistent damage that threatens most mons and keeps it a target. Super defensively bulky, I knew it needed some assistance as it was soaking up hits.

This lead me to Hisuian Goodra, the opposite counterpart to Mega Aggron. Super specially bulky, not only does it threaten water Pokemon that give Aggron trouble, but it also provides much needed support with life dew. Getting both super bulky pokemon an extra 1/4 health at any given time provides plenty of time to either set up an iron defense, or allow a protect and get free health back with little drawbacks. Goodra has enough damage output to make the opponent second guess who they need to target in a given turn.

Next up is Galarian Slowking. The knockoff toxapex, regenerator keeps him healthy and he is able to utilize his psychic to take out quick fighting type threats. Super bulky and chips away at the opponents health with toxic strats. I paired it with muddy water. While very inaccurate and lead to a few unclutch misses, it provides wiggle room with its accuracy drops, especially when the opponent is running more inaccurate moves like heat wave.

At this point I realized I was just super slow and had to hope to keep my damage output high enough that it didn't matter. That wasn't going to work. Which brings me to my next Pokemon of choice.

Typhlosion was brought on the team for fast consistent pressure with its eruption. Paired with Hisuian Goodra, not only could I be one of the faster pokemon on the field with a very powerful spread move, I could also use Goodra as a health pack to keep the eruptions going at full power.

Something I did not have a tool for at this point, even with Typhlosion was soaking up fire types. This is where Aqua Tauros comes in. Decently fast and hits unbelievably hard, Tauros is used for a quick priority aqua jet or a complete deletion with wave crash or close combat.

To round out my team, I picked Mega Altaria. Not only does it threaten dragon, fighting and dark types, of which I have very little answers for, it also gives me a useful tailwind against teams with more middling to slightly above average speed. Many times I utilize it's pixilated hyper voice combined with Typhlosion's eruption to give heavy pressure. This allows me to frequently control the boardstate of tougher matchups, as very little Pokemon could resist both attacks at once. I could also use this to predict a pivot and launch a draco meteor into a slot with a clear switch."
