warmbeacon-46 OP

Also WAHHH if ur not comfortable with me using ur team then srry i wont use it

warmbeacon-46 OP

Heres another trick room team im genuinely more interested in but idk if its as good + i dont have camerupt. If theres a good camerupt alternative i will use this team instead (torkoal perhaps?) and change choice scarf raptor to mega raptor maybe. I think this changes on how the team is played quite a bit tho and i think it wont be as good

I mean all trick room related teams I'd consider kinda high skill ceiling

silvercactus-53

And uh torkoal isn't exactly an alternative

silvercactus-53

It's probably mostly a downgrade
