Rain Team w/ Mega Staraptor Review
Summary
The Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments server is analyzing a new Rain team composition featuring Mega Staraptor. Community members are debating the inclusion of Meganium for type coverage against Kingambit and discussing optimal EV spreads for Archaludon to maximize offensive pressure. This discussion provides valuable insights for players looking to refine their competitive VGC builds and improve their performance in the current meta.
It's a rain team, sableye is basically there for stopping opposing Staraptor. Just looking for any constructive criticism anyone might have on it, started with the mobile release 2 days ago.
Thanks a bunch!

What's meganium for? I run a similar team, mega scovillain can redirect for safety and burn physical attackers further boosting archaludon's bulk--although you'd probably never take it over staraptor.
I try to take meganium if I see Kingambit or another Archaludon, weather ball makes for an easy ohko on em
Make arch more offensive
Since it’s one of the main Pokémon actually abusing rain, I’d put more points into Sp. Atk. Electro Shot should feel like a real threat, not just a utility button.
I just picked the most used spread I saw in the battle data stuff, figured it was running so little because of Electro Shot boosting the special anyway
