Is there anything I could improve? M Venusaur is such a good pokemon right now, and i have found success with this team in particular.
Anything that is bad?

Bulky Offense team that tries to get into the best position possible at all times, hence the double pivot. My idea is that if that M Venusaur is very good at getting positive trades of damage due to its huge bulk + Giga Drasin recovery. In case i find a matchup that punishes me for going second (like rock slide spam), i go with Farigiraf in order to setup Trick Room, or in matchups with a ton of priority. Most games are Incineroar + Another mon, usually M Venusaur or Farig. I cant emphasize enough how much pivot this teams allows for, and how much impact it gains

when i first tried Ttar, i used a diff team, and a lot of Low Kick Gambit and Low Kick Ttar were running aroung. It also lets u survive Kommo-o Aura Sphere in the sand

Reply

i know it doesnt let u survive Sneasler CC tho

Reply

it survives even without berry

Reply

berry allows u to receive two Aura Spheres from Arch if its modest 17 SPs

Reply

so like 178 SpA mons

Reply

its mostly the sand that allows it

Reply

ttar is here bc its a special wall (sort of) and also bc its good into flying / psychic types

Reply

that are usually bad into Venusaur

Reply

ok

Reply

most of thems go for a stat bump, garchomp, saur, rotom-W etc

Reply

Venusaur can take a jolly aerodactyl Dual WWingbeat, and Non Modest delphox psychic

Reply

Garchomp outspeed M Aerodactyl after 1 scale shot

Reply

Incineroar takes a bunch of hits from most top 10 mons, garchomp and floette specially

Reply

Ttar had to take an attack from floette, its calced for that

Reply

i dont remember all of them

Reply

but the general idea of what i did i do have

Reply

also incin can kill frail M Gengar and M Froslass w Flare Blitz / DL

Reply

incin also outspeeds -Speed sinistcha

Reply

and farig always koed sneasler w psychic even if bulky as far as i remember, while taking on a kingambit attack and M Floette

Reply

Ttar takes two/three HV depending on the Sylveon, Venusaur Walls it, the rest dont like it

Reply

garchomp specially

Reply

but Rotom-W can also take 2 bc of Sitrus

Reply

Incin doesnt enjoy it cause of lack of recovery

Reply

oh yeah hold on

Reply

okay Ttar can die by Hyper Beam, its a 62,3% of OHKOing

Reply

rotom-W can die 37.5% of the time

Reply

hyper beam is bad yeah

Reply

Venusaur still walls it

Reply

and 2HKOs it

Reply

Incin can take one HYper Beam

Reply

59% of 3HKOing

Reply

w HV

Reply

Incin aint that bad into Sylveon considering the extra Speed allows me to Parting shot and nerf it

Reply

and flare blitz doing a 2HKO as far as im aware (idk how physically bulky sylveon sets are)

Reply

Cybertron when i find u

Reply

my gameplan is Garchomp + Venusaur and then double up into it, doing damage on both sides, so that it cant wall off all the damage with one screen

Reply

i have a friend that played a ton of sableye and showed me how hard i would lose if i dont remove it fast

Reply

I would love to punch sableye irl

Reply

such an annoying mon

Reply

true

Reply

and it will encore u back

Reply

oh yeah

Reply

farigiraf is somewhat of a check to it

Reply

due to armor tail

Reply

it cant quash thru

Reply

True

Reply

that why its a somewhat

Reply

it allows u to play safer into it without fearing encore

Reply

or disable

Reply

or whatever bs it has

Reply

thx!

Reply

Shinka what happened to your name

Reply

It's almost like the language changed

Reply

Oh that kanji means circus dog

Reply

Thank God I have been using Duolingo long enough to know if I think it's derogatory im reading it right

Reply

And has amazing nicks

Reply

thx a lot

Reply

and yeah the nicknames are indeed songs although i did change some

Reply

like Venusaur was once "Green Day" and Farigiraf used to be a Corviknight called "Black Betty"

Reply

im still figuring out another name that the garchomp could have

Reply

cause his nickname isnt the full song name

Reply

After playing for a while, i think Ttar could be changed for another mon, since the team gets chipped down by sand. I want a pokemon that is good into Psychic/Flying types, and ofc it would be better if it was a physical attacker. Any ideas for that 6th mon?

Reply

or maybe give ttar a diff set

Reply

it just doesnt give me as much value as i expected

Reply

oh then maybe i suck
