2v2 Team Help: Sand Mega Staraptor & Grass Picks

Summary

In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement requests 2v2 team-building help. Ideas include a Mega Staraptor team, Annihilape+Maushold, and a sand core using Tyranitar with Excadrill or Garchomp. The poster asks for a real grass attacker and Clefable options, mentions Scarlet/Violet availability, and invites community suggestions and trades.

I wanna start playing 2v2 but its hard to netdeck bc im always missing key pokemon (archaludon, charizard, floette, dengo..)
I own Scarlet/Violet Base Game, so I could get pokemon from that too. Some ideas that I have which you can consider, but dont have to. I really wanna start playing, so any decent team will do :)

  • Mega Staraptor Team
  • Annihilape + Maushold: cant find a good mega for this
  • Sand? (the event gives a free tyrannitar)

sand is strong against sun and snow teams, but I wouldn't build the team all around sand

ironpanther-10

ttar, maybe excadrill
thats it

ironpanther-10

clefable is a perfect addition to these 2
aswell as a grass type, that threatens Pokémon like Swampert or Basculegion to go down easily

eagercipher-50 OP

Oh so its not a very dedicated weather strategy but more like a subtype?

eagercipher-50 OP

ttar + excadrill + garchomp was what I was seeing, not sure how to continue the build tho. Grass attacker could be whimsicott/sinistcha and Clefairy will be hard to get since its s/v dlc :(

ironpanther-10

i would recommend a real grass type attacker

ironpanther-10

yk what i mean?

ironpanther-10

whims and sinistcha are better for supporting their team, than being attackers

ironpanther-10

im sure you can get clefable somehow
otherwise i will try and trade you one soon

ironpanther-10

dp you have sv

amberdolphin-49

ive seen mega mawile work in this situation

amberdolphin-49

of all things

ironpanther-10

idk our team is already weak to pokemon like swampert or garchomp, adding another weakness early on looks wrong to me

ironpanther-10

you got time?

@ironpanther-10 you got time?
eagercipher-50 OP

tomorrow yeah :)

eagercipher-50 OP

So I'll try and recruit for some grass attacker?

ironpanther-10

yes

ironpanther-10

ive seen people use rotom maw, but i havent tried it omw yet
