Team D Review: Trick Room Core Tweaks
Summary
In Pokémon Champions this announcement reviews Team D's Trick Room core featuring Hatterene, Mimikyu, Incineroar, Clefable, Torkoal, and Heracross. It highlights issues: Clefable needs more Special Attack to chip while still redirecting, Heracross underperforms, and the team is considering slow Mega options like Aggron or Steelix. Community feedback is requested to optimize EVs, moves, and roles.
