This discussion is essential for competitive players looking to refine their team building and understand the current VGC meta.
I want EVs if anyone has them. Otherwise, I’m open to suggestions
In tailwind gambit is pretty fast
Lemme look up sash gambit spreads
4 attack gambit runs speed from what I’m seeing
Sash gambit doesn’t need hp since sash is your bulk
Nah you have protect
All of my other gambits have 32hp 32atk
Sash gambit seems to be speedy
- gambits natural bulk is fine enough
100 / 120 / 85 is incredible bulk
Only hindered by a mediocre defensive type (incredible offensively though)
Its incredibly strong
I know, but for this team specifically
1. Sash is already taken
2. We need a secondary mega
3. A strong charizard answer
Sash is already on gambit
This team won a 113 player tournament, the sets are good
Thats why I’m asking about evs (they aren’t public)
What flying type is relevant that we can’t hit supereffectively?
Also I reread this message and no longer understand since 3 of our pokemon have rock slide
This player went 10-2, natures are matching to what I have, evs aren’t public
Is he not weak to fire?
He is 1000% scary if he gets an iron defense up though
But rotom is our way
Btw, kingambit would be bulkier than rotom wash if not for his quad weakness
The issue is kingambit is weak to 3 of the most relevant types
It already arguably is
Its between gambit and chomp
I’d say top 2 every day
maybe basculegion and garchomp beat it out
Garchomp eqs, Charizard heat waves, and sneasler close combats all delete him
But basculegion is always a win condition. You aren’t able to use your counters against anything else or you lose
Scarf basc is just such a strong mon
Gambit beats it but if you need gambit for anything else you lose
Thats what makes it strong
It forces plays
Kind of?
It makes it an absurd win condition
If you beat your opponents resists/counters to fish, you win
Same but even with him basc is a threat
Of course, but basc is still strong
Alright gn
Aerodactyl i will take a more bulky build so put in hp spl defence and speed
