Trick Room Team Showcase — Hatterene Lead

Summary

This Pokémon Champions forum discussion centers on showcasing and refining a Trick Room team composition led by Hatterene. Key members of the team include Indeedee-F for support, Torkoal for sun-boosted damage, and Kingambit as a slow, powerful attacker. Participants discuss specific move choices, Tera types, and strategies for handling opponents, including how to manage threats when Trick Room isn't immediately set up, and the effectiveness of the team's damage multipliers.

so them teams i mentioned that hatterene cant tank, sometimes sitting max damage arcanine thatll outspeed everything next to indeedee can drop one of the things you dont want to deal with then if youre lucky you can swap it out to the back for when trick room ends, or it dies and your hatterene and torkoal comes in and cleans up

fleetkernel-50 OP

bo3 strats

fleetkernel-50 OP

winning trick room team did this but they used choice band urshi

fleetkernel-50 OP

dark urshi

fleetkernel-50 OP

Yep . People also get addicted to the psychic terra hatterne

fleetkernel-50 OP

That expanding force being increase by 1.5 then life orb 1.3 then terrain boost whatever that is then stab aswell

fleetkernel-50 OP

It cleans up

fleetkernel-50 OP

Forgot to add the tera increase

fleetkernel-50 OP

Torkoal similar with sun boost then spec boost

fleetkernel-50 OP

Them things help

fleetkernel-50 OP

Winning team used weather ball over solar beam

fleetkernel-50 OP

Yep. And in regards to megas I think camerupt crabdominal and mawhile all can fit on this team

fleetkernel-50 OP

I’m sure theirs more .

I only recently learnt haha

fleetkernel-50 OP

I should have. A list of the megas in here haha

fleetkernel-50 OP

Wide gaurd can be annoying . Open team sheets are a different game

fleetkernel-50 OP

Yeah does this hatterne have mystic fire ?

fleetkernel-50 OP

Sometimes I drop it for protect

fleetkernel-50 OP

Hard trick room mons arnt as reliant on protect as fast teams are

fleetkernel-50 OP

Haha dark pulse was more of a test definetly swap for mystic fire or protect

fleetkernel-50 OP

Hahaha might’ve been choice band, but follow me + trick room should’ve done the job but some Strats can be surprising

fleetkernel-50 OP

Most the time you do need to trick room turn 1
Does the indeedee your running have trick room ?

fleetkernel-50 OP

King is really good
If it’s a full mirror match king + Clefairy would be best

fleetkernel-50 OP

Just remembered no Clefairy haha

fleetkernel-50 OP

Mirror match king +farifiraf
And don’t worry about bringing indeedee

fleetkernel-50 OP

They’ll most likely bring their own

fleetkernel-50 OP

It is fine in a mirror match I believe ! You’ll find theirs 100
Variations of this team
If you notice a Ursaluna you’re best making sure you get trick room up

fleetkernel-50 OP

Araq is good tho I hadn’t had many issues with him myself
I think you just got unlucky but hit him abit with king and he will die

fleetkernel-50 OP

Solar beam does ok on torkoal too

What team are you using against other reg I teams ? This team would have a hard time in regulation I .

fleetkernel-50 OP

Yeah you’ll need an entirely different team for reg I ! I’m using a weird team for it

fleetkernel-50 OP

It’s not perfect

fleetkernel-50 OP

I’ll find it

fleetkernel-50 OP

https://pokepast.es/844adc940fdc288f

fleetkernel-50 OP

fleetkernel-50 OP

The reg f ladder will be active

fleetkernel-50 OP

People liked it a lot

fleetkernel-50 OP

Should test it their

fleetkernel-50 OP
