I have ! I can’t remember why but I landed on Clefairy being the better pick
I should test Amoongus some more
When I first started this team specs/scarf typhlosion was very popular . My tera water + clef was eruption defence haha

Hard TR sometimes tries to avoid protect .
Amoongus is odd tho I have no much experience with it either
Swapped dark pulse back for mystical fire
It was doing very low damage
Sometimes ! Protect on indeedee creates a mind game means it most likely does need to be on Amoongus
What about brute bonnet
My first issue with him is him and king slightly over lap
Just with the sucker punches
It is! I have tried him a little bit haha
People are scared of it
They opt to delete him asap
Unsure exactly just anytime I brought him he was just instantly removed
Unsure if they targeted him or if he fell to easy .

I was looking at vavillion and maushold for their friend gaurd but Amoongus and indeedee better then them
I do have a hard time not having Clefairy haha
I have always danced around the idea of iron hands ! King just worked better I guess with the incin spam
I’ve also considered swapping low kick on king for brick break !

It honestly would it’s quite balanced
Brute bonnet I think might be the key
Bringing indeedee and Amoongus or indeedee and Clefairy can feel passive
Brute bonnet has some offensive pressure also
He would go really good on that team. The amount of time I’ve spent trying to find a Clefairy replacement is crazy

lol
It’s more defensive then amoongus on defence and has same speed stat and move set lol
Item restriction makes it pointless to use it over Amoongus haha
And ability
Throat spray farifiraf annoying
And hits way harder then it should
Hahaha almost everything
I used it in the rain the other day
And nuked em
lol
You’re not wrong
And just don’t be scared of the damage reduction
I hate how Meta pellipeper is
Was on ladder and it was a kyogre
If it can do that it can break through most stuff I figure
I’ve considered chandelure
Heatwave just doesn’t hit as hard and lower accuracy
Chandelure has a beautiful spa stat tho and ability
It Shadow ball is most likely second only to fluttermane
He would lol I guess king does also but it’s two hits if I didn’t catch a defiance boost
They often run focas sash ?
Think I need to commit to amoongus but not coba berry
Choice band dragonite I think could be good
End game cleaners with priority are good in this set up

hey so i personally dont enjoy amoongus and shroomish was just a joke but he does actually work lol
if theirs neither of them two i could consider the rock ogerpon he is a good redirection but and can give the team another mode
ursaluna is a good pick
hard to explain but yeah youre right and the answer was farifraf, also helps SO much with my rillaboom match up
theirs a few variants of this team let me check it out
yeah so this team is amazing, i almost never brought clefairy tho unless i was expecting spread attackers that indeedee couldnt save hatterene against, like choice band arcanine next to fluttermane, hatterne couldnt tank that spread damage without clefiarys friend gaurd. and then also in the t TR mirror match.
clefairy made that easy
then i added grass terra to help with amoongus and rilla
but then after abit of testing i changed to throat spray farifiraf
i liked he also had some offfesive value
because if by some bad chance you ended up with indeedee and clef on the field at the same time youre basically screwed.
that passive trade i consider for torkoals crazy spread damage
and also hatterne was changed to psyhic terra
to make her more offensive
but water tera is like gaurantee trick room in my opinon
more defesive pick
huge difference in changing hatts terras.
ill try find you some other versions theyre in here im sure
Smart.
