Ur team is very fast to use tr

ivoryunicorn-80

Maybe it could work vs mega aero or base aero but is very gimmicky

ivoryunicorn-80

And if u really want to play tailroom I will recommend to u invest less evs in speed and add the giraf

Hey, thanks for the feedback, I just noticed half the team is weak to fire so I was experimenting with occa sinistcha and garchomp. I was mainly thinking of running trick room to stop opposing HTR teams

daringnectar-33 OP

I do like tailroom balance quite a lot

daringnectar-33 OP

but if I remove sinistcha how do I deal with swampert

I'm not so sure if Floette appreciates the raichu gholdengo

ironpanther-10

floette really struggles against sun matchups
so do they
Yes you can Zap Cannon their Chari Y, but they can also simply protect or switch out

daringnectar-33 OP

so who do I swap floette for since double fake out is a must

ivoryunicorn-80

Ur team is very similar to wolfeys raichu y team. U could take some inspiration
