There is actually a story behind this team. I've know pokemon for a while but never wanted to go to tournaments until now. I recently got my mom into pokemon so she wanted a fenimine team and I ofc knew indeedee and Hatterine were the way to go. Somehow I've ended up with this masterpiece of a team, ive used it and went from 1100 to 1500 in like maybe 1 week of playing showdown on carrides home. This team felt really good even up at 1500 elo, im looking to smooth it out a little more. Mainly wondering if mystic fire on hatterine would be good over protect. Also wondering if I can get evs on primarina to okho incin.
