Singles Team Advice Climb Ultra Ball Tier
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement requests singles team optimization to escape Ultra Ball Tier 3. Advice covers item suggestions like scarf or soft sand on Garchomp, mega stone on Kangaskhan, and mental herb on Sneasler. It also recommends moveset changes including protect, earthquake, dragon claw, rock slide, fake out, drain punch, and sucker punch plus EV and Charizard swap considerations.
This is my current team, I’m hard stuck ultra ball tier 3 and everytime I win one, I lose one keeping me right at the same spot of tier 3😂
Discord sent us an expired image link.
So there are a couple points of optimization:
items:
Garchomp:
scarf, soft sand or dragon tusk are good items. Each
Meowscarada:
hyper offense + focus sash has good synergy with the overgrown ability. (Shell bell doesn’t do much for an offensive mon)
Kangaskan:
you could give her the mega stone. Mega kan is pretty solid in matchups which your charizard is bad in.
Sneasler:
Mental herb to counter intimidate works well
Moves:
in general your move selection is suboptimal. A clear example of that is that 0 mons run protect. I personally run protect on at least half my mons, but even running it on all of them can be good for a beginner player.
As for the moves I’ll list the most popular sets below for the mons which look the most suboptimal.
Garchomp:
earthquake
Dragon claw
Rock slide
Kangaskhan:
fake out
Drain punch
Sucker punch
(I forgot the name. But the most powerful normal type move with the recoil dmg)
Ev’s:
atm you didn’t share your ev’s, so I don’t know if you have any suboptimal choices there.
I was gonna say I should’ve added I only play singles!! That’s why I don’t have protect but a lot of offensive healing moves or flinching moves like fake out
I did have the mega stone on kang but any suggestions on who I should swap charizard out for? I really only have him for experimental purposes
What needs improvement?? (I only run singles battles)
Even for singles??
