Sun Team Review With Leafeon and Scovillain

Summary

This Pokémon Champions forum discussion centers on reviewing a user's "Sun Team" featuring Leafeon and Scovillain. The initial poster admitted the team was performing poorly, partly due to including two Water-types, though the Leafeon/Scovillain core was considered functional. Feedback included suggestions for item changes on Scovillain (moving away from Rocky Helmet to offensive items or Heat Rock) and general advice on optimizing the team's synergy, with the original poster clarifying the team...

Oh wow haha how’s it going for you ?

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Horribly

sunnyquiver-34 OP

lol

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Hard to make a sun team with 2 water types

fleetkernel-50

Happens ! Isn’t easy finding synergy

sunnyquiver-34 OP

and just not very good mon

sunnyquiver-34 OP

but the scovillian and leafeon combo work well

sunnyquiver-34 OP

im trying to make a sun team with that core

fleetkernel-50

Leafeon is a hard hitting mon. I gotta go to sleep talk in morning gorey

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Sure you you later ig

coralquiver-12

You could give scovillian life orb or choice specs; i’d honestly

sunnyquiver-34 OP

scovillan is my only sun setter (it being sunny day too) so it wants to be bulky and annoying

coralquiver-12

Yeah that’s fine, but the rockyH isn’t doing much. It only effects physical attackers, isn’t bulky enough to make the helmet useful

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Would heat rock be better? Im also thinking covert cloak

coralquiver-12

I think an offensive item would be better

coralquiver-12

I do like the fact that this team had some good thought! If you want you can link more of your favorite pokemon and i can help you make a team that will probably work better!

sunnyquiver-34 OP

I understand a lot of the move choices, and the item you have them. It’s a good team, but it just has some flaws. Are you making a team to battle with, or just trying to have fun? What’s the ultimate goal

sunnyquiver-34 OP

It's really just supposed to be for fun, I have more teams for actually do win offen, but i do learn from this team and everyone on this team has appeared in a more serious team (Except duosion, I still have to fit it somewhere)

coralquiver-12

maybe give it the magic bounce ability for starters

sunnyquiver-34 OP

It's extreemly bulky on both sides with eviolite (lvl 100 having 360 SPD) and i gain a lot out of regenorator

sunnyquiver-34 OP

if i fit it on another team, it will probably be trick room with hatterene anyways

coralquiver-12

i’d also take half the HP EVs and give it some special attack, trade imprison for protect because u likely won’t be alive long enough for it to be effective

coralquiver-12

OR give it more defense.

sunnyquiver-34 OP

It's really, really bulky. survives helping hand specs draco and elctrodrift if i tera to steel

coralquiver-12

is this for doubles?

coralquiver-12

yeah ofc

sunnyquiver-34 OP

yeah lol

coralquiver-12

Well the problem is, 2 of your hitters get x2 speed in the sun. Which really makes TR a bad choice yk

sunnyquiver-34 OP

I really want to switch that, it was put in for distruption

coralquiver-12

do you have a list of your favorite pokemon ?

coralquiver-12

like is scraggy specifically your favorite? or is the evolution line

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Scraggy is specificly my favorite, and i refuse to put scrafty bc its kinda ugly but solosis is just a straight downgrade of duosion competitivly so i sqeezed that difference

coralquiver-12

gotchu

coralquiver-12

so idk who you were fighting, but Duo is not surviving a helping hands elctrodrift

sunnyquiver-34 OP

Tera steel?

coralquiver-12

ah i didn’t see that one sec

coralquiver-12

yeah not surviving

coralquiver-12

even with -SpAtk nature it still dies

coralquiver-12

not saying it’s not a good mon, just the person you were fighting may just not have built mir correctly

sunnyquiver-34 OP

wait hold up i need to try this in practice

sunnyquiver-34 OP

*my bad i need to try this myself i swear it survived in practice

coralquiver-12
