This is what my team is rn minus azumarill and kingambit cuz it's
Discord sent us an expired image link.
Keep gambit but give him black glasses. Trade azu for chomp
I would try something like this with this roster: https://pokepast.es/2674064e5fe994f2
Chomp is of course an amazing mon too, M-Gengar is also very slept on
The mega chu is nice that team works nicely
How to use mega gengar effectively?
In case there's no swampert (in which case I forfeit), fairy or ice type I mega altaria with incineroar either use tailwind or protect based on the scenario and use fake out idk why I mega altaria it's basically a glass cannon only useful for hyper voice while mega or tailwind and if needed I switch out incineroar in 2nd turn after parting shot to bring gholdengo if there's ghost or an insanely weak fairy type or that kind of scenario or go for garchomp to earthquake the way out or pick opponent slowly by dragon claw before protecting my altaria if it dies it's spot usually goes to gholdengo
Ok so first altaria learns tailwind and I cook if there's no ice or fairy type but if there is I change to kingambit and azumarill instead of garchomp and altaria as azumarill covers the fairy and also water type in case of incineroar in opposing team (1 aqua jet followed by liquidation) for some reason kingambit hits harder than a truck even if it's shows not that effective or just effective (halved gyarados with 1 sucker punch) I lead with incineroar and gholdengo in these scenarios and use fake out to help gholdengo shine then either fire blitz if I think incineroar can take the threat or parting short to get my incineroar out
Strategy 😭
Greninja and Raichu both learn Grass Knot that can OHKO Swampert, Dragonite should be useful against too (although a lot of them run Ice Punch)
