This is what I think will be fun to use and win matches haha

Reply

I usually don’t ever use orangu

Reply

Thats the thing i love, fun to use

Reply

But I can see some synergy

Reply

I dont like it either.

Reply

orangaru ist too annoying but it just feels like an akward pkm

Reply

It feels abit simple but it is simple I guess. He can’t be faked out and his man goal is making drampa attack twice and reliably setting tr next to the teapot

Reply

Yes, its super fun when you win with +6 band reckless struggle hitmonlee in singles

Reply

Yeah but the thing is, it cant really do much on it's own

Reply

i really dont like that type of pkmn

Reply

thats why on my scraggy and clawitzeir team i run male indeedee life orb instead of female support

Reply

Yeah the team glue. Tr ones seem crazy passive

Speed ones are usually like incin

Reply

Board stabilizers

Reply

Gotta give her more of a chance

Reply

She’s soooooooo good

Reply

Broken

Reply

Makes tr unfair on the opponent

Reply

And that’s why I’m struggling so much now haha

Reply

I haven’t used this drampa team yet I will later tonight but I assume it’ll win a little more then 50%

Reply

i really cant imgine my teams without psyduck actually

Reply

Altaria

Reply

no like seriously

Reply

She cloud nines too

Reply

Fat thing

Reply

but her typing is bad

Reply

No idea what it’s mega does

Reply

water resists fire, water, and ice. and it has crazy support options

Reply

no seriously, i never had to worry about weather again after adding psyduck

Reply

really, really distruptive

Reply

Water is a defensive typing to I learnt in scarlet and violet hahah

Reply

I had to run it on my hat before I learnt psychic was better haha

Reply

i mean only 2 weakness and 4 resists is bound to be really good

Reply

True
Electric and grass.

Rotom mowe usage has peaked in pre champs vgc

Reply

Mow*

Reply

Im actually not sure how gimicky i can be without NFE

Reply

and in SV, you can tera to dragon which resists both those types

Reply

like look at this and tell me how i can function without NFE

Trick Room Team Drafts with Drampa and Politoed

Reply

Wow lol

Reply

Hahahahahaha

Reply

Ima see who’s most similar

Reply

i like my NFE. I can say that proudly

Reply

I think you have to run both Draco and hyper voice on drampa and choose 1 among other 2

Reply

I agree, its good to have both

Reply

Farifiraf can be played similar or golduck of course hahah

I decided Draco didn’t synergise with instruct very well !

Reply

I do enjoy playing tricks with weatherball

Reply

And idk calcs of life orb politoed but I don't think it hits hard enough. You might wanna do pelliper for that and maybe add palafin for orangaru. This way you lead palafin, opponent attack it , you switch out palafin to drampa, drampa goes low hp and get betserk boost. And from here you need to heal/sustain it. Without the +1 it's not worth it

Reply

for 10 extra bsp and a 20% chance to make you crash out, i like hydro pump :ArcaSmug:

Reply

Makes sense. But orangaru doesn't feel like it fits In the team tbh. Farigirif is enough tr setter.

Reply

I dont think its currently worth the palafin gambit

Reply

Politoad actually hits like a truck to be honest hahah more so with weather ball

Is the birds spa higher ?

Reply

I’ve been really thinking who’s it far or orangu a lot

Reply

Same typing and everything

Reply

Same typing as my love

Reply

Swapping it gives yoy more firepower and sustain. You can try sinistcha for tr as well hospitality synergises will with berserk
