please ping me if you have anything. i won't respond immediately otherwise
oh and i trained the Klefki
it's got both Screens, T-wave, Protect, max Defense and Speed EVs, and Prankster while holding the Sitrus berry
that's true
Weather is kinda busted rn
that's
okay i guess that explains the entire meta rn
Trick Room is kinda busted
Weather is all the rage
i don't have Floette, so i'm kinda fucked
okay so Gar, T-Tar, and Exca
now what?
Clef, Hisui Arc and Whimsi?
fair
i have a Defiant Gambit with it
oh i am 6 pokemon away from having a full box
i am so fucked
i don’t have Sneasler
but i’ll be on the lookout for one
thank you
i’m scraping by lmfao
all of this was recommended since i don’t trust myself to make a team
i have been
i’ve taken a lot of Ls though
but i finally made it to Great Ball tier
yeah but i have the wrong Basc
Female Basc is more focused on Special Attack
the Male is all Attack, hence why it’s used so often on rain teams with Wave Crash
and it has Swift Swim
i think it does, but its Wave Crash won’t hit as hard
so my Klefki is kinda a dead slot
i just got a female Meowstic
i could use it to cover Glimmora’s Psychic weakness
give it Competitive
max out HP, and split between Sp. Atk and Sp. Def
make it Calm
oh shit it learns Fake Out
okay Meowstic actually has quite a bit of coverage
i could give it both screens, Psychic, and Protect
then again, my Whimsi is an example of why you shouldn’t only have one attacking move
uh oh i just got a devious idea
maybe grab Clefable or Maushold for them to use Follow Me while Meowstic builds up Calm Minds, Baton Passes them to Glimmora, Mega Glimmora annihilates the field with Sludge Wave or Earth Power
chat am i smart?
yeah i did consider that
this was before i built my Klefki, and even then it feels like a dead slot
this was how it came
i gave my Klefki both screens, T-wave, and Protect
i forgot what i did for EVs though
and it does have Prankster
i.e. Toxic Debris
yea
sorry i’m just trying to come up with something that could possibly work
guess it was a stupid idea
i don’t have it
hmm
and i don’t exactly have anyone to cover that
i mean, i have Primarina
she can cover both actually
that’s true…
Corv already covers Fighting
but it’s a bit slow
even in Tailwind
that’s true
and it takes a bit for Unburden to activate in this meta
since Sneaslers usually run White Herb
CC?
ah right
well, i’m just working with what i have, which isn’t much
anything i can do with this?
sorry for the ping
based
you do that
this is the most recently updated version of my box
Idk why you have two Meganiums but these are good mons
What tier are you at?
one was from Recruiting and the other was from the battle pass
Great Ball 4
and i haven't even moved
1 step forward, 2 steps back and all that
Ok so, are the Pokemon being hard to use like lack of resources in battle
Or is it the team composition that's troubling you?
the team feels fine
it feels more like a lack of resources
it feels my team is super under-prepared for everything
Then you might want to change up your Pokemon and adapt them
What are you having the most trouble with?
TR hard counters me
any team with Mega Aggron
my Meowstic also just dies in two hits
You might want a fighting type, also Clefable isn't all that good you could use a better fairy type(like Primarina for example)
Clefable has been actually pretty decent
it just clutched a game for me
but yeah i think Prim is a good mon, but Sneasler exists
You have Meowstic for that
To take down Sneasler
Meowstic is more frail than grass
and i have it with max defense EVs
You'll probably wanna run it fast wouldn't you?
i guess
considering that Meowstic is meant to be there for speed control and not really for bulk
