Trick Room Team Help Pokémon VGC Tips
Summary
In Pokémon Champions a member asks for help building a Trick Room team. The post details a lead of Maushold and Farigiraf using Follow Me to set Trick Room, with Torkoal and Azumarill as backups and Abomasnow vs Garchomp. They ask about swapping Maushold for Klefki for Prankster and replacing Drampa with Kingambit, seeking strategic tips.
Hi everyone
Im pretty new to playing vgc seriously and am trying to make a trickroom team. This is what I got right now. But im debating between a few things. My strategy right now is starting with maushold and farigiraf using follow me to defend the farigiraf so i can do trickroom and then just using follow me with the maushold till it dies i usually have torkoal and azumarill in the back and use abomasnow when my enemy had a garchomp. The things im debating in is swapping the maushold for a klefki because of its prankster ability also im considering swapping in kingambit for drampa because drampa doesnt rlly do anything only o dont onow how to use kingambit. So do u have any tips.
Much thanks!! Sorry for so much text btw
Yeah I try explain to people that maushold is actually mid in regards to tr set up but a lot of people have a hard time accepting it
I’ve been using farifiraf incin
The only lead that can shut it down that I can think of is an imprison farifiraf
Also made my far full bulk with a colbur berry, since my main lead is incin and farifiraf my incin is built a little different to standard . More offensively so my lead isn’t to weak
You could drop hyper voice and dazzling gleam for twin beam . It helps with sash snealzer and substitute gengar
Torkoal abomasnow and Azumarill all work against each other
When suns up Azumarill damage is decreased
When it’s snowy torkoal is no longer a nuke
I’m having pretty good success with a strange tr team might give you some ideas
Using king - I lead with him against opposing trick room teams
Or sometimes sit him in the back if I think the match up is awkward because his power end game sucker punches can fix that a lot
Gives speed control when tr ends
Ty so much
Still reading everything but ty
Ye i rlly dont get how sucker punch works
Goes first only if they’re attacking
So if they click protect or a status move
It fails
Ahhh
May i ask why you use both a haterene and farigiraf because when i was using a hatterene on my team i rlly had a hard time using it to deal serious damage
Well in trick room hatterne is second only to torkoal in the damage she can deal
Well if I was vsing your team in the team preview I’d easily notice that farifiraf was your only tr setter.
I’d make sure I could nuke it in my lead
But my team actually is now based around floette. When she mega evolves she boost all fairy damage on the field
Then hats holding the fairy damage increase item too
She’s got 2 1.2 boost on her dazzling gleams
And she can set up trick room for me if it ends if position things correct with incins fake out allowing me a turn of set up when I usually I wouldn’t
But what pokemon do u usually take in the back then?
My lead with this particular team. Is almost always incin farif with Hatterne and Floette in the back to do some spread fairy spam
Opposing trick room team most likely lead Floette and incin or king
With this team I use king less then usual
And when do u use torkoal then
Because like i rlly like to use torkoal so idd
Like to not completely copy ur team
Not often at all anymore either
And I put him first in the team to make them bring the wrong mons to deal with me haha
Lol
I’d bring torkoal maybe against an opposing sun team that doesn’t have a check to overwhealming fire damage
Because even charizard doesn’t like getting hit with an eruption
In the back always
Can be used in rain too but once tr is up they win the weather wars
I find it easier to fairy spam instead
Alr ill try out ur team then
I like trick room haha
Ye me2
I almost gave up on it in champions but I found a solid lead
Don’t need to copy the team but feel free to copy the incin and farifiraf
They work really well
But you also rdcommend a second tr setter
Definetly
One bulky one offensive
So u use the fake out on their strongest mon or smth and then just tank the rest to set up tr
Yes
He also intimidates
Which would be hatterene
So the physical attackers arnt that scary
Dark resist berry so even if I proc a defiant kingambit I’ll still fake out the charizard
Could u also show a pic of ur stat spread
Yep I’ll get it now
But isnt the azumarill good aswell i rlly like its versatility in all its moves like i can use superpower fairy type moves and water type
I love azuamrill . Very anti meta
Ye so its fine if i keep it u think
I mean azuamrill would actually go quite well with floette im releasing right now haha
That fairy boost
Yeah I actually suck at fast teams
I can only do trick room
I stuffed myself doing it for to long haha
Apparently everyone’s building the floette like fluttermanes
Max hp and speed
So what should i swap it for then?
Or a kingambit
Ye i think ill do that
I love my torkoal too much
With choice specs item is back he will be better
He really cleans everything up then
But did they alr reveal its coming back?
Eventually it will
Not this format tho
Huh i cant transfer my floette to champions
Ue
Ye
Is it another type or smth
That’s just a floette
could u maybe trade me an eternal flower floette bc i dont have za
Not an eternal floette
If its not too much work
I can give u a shiny or smth
I don’t have a spare right now but I can try. I know one of the admins is doing a give away for 5 of them soon
Is it that hard to get one?
i take my words back i DID NOT know it was that hard to get one
where can i enter the giveaway btww
i rlly feel so stupid rn
Very
It’ll open in a few days
Don’t feel stupid
It’s confusing
What a weird pokemon it is haha
but like do u then have another recommendation for the team bc i cant get the floette
I’ll get you one but don’t expect it to quickly
help him when you can please
nah bro dont its so much work bro
or do u have like an almost finished save file or smth
A friend just 6 spares
Doing 5 in a give away
💀 💀 💀
bro has too much time
Hahahahahahaha. He will pop up here soon I imagine
nah jk jk
Hahahahaah he is a nurse I believe
Always on his phone at work lol
then i deff take my words back
Hahaha yeah he lives and work and study but is keen to do these give aways when his free
ye thats very nice
but did he fr do 6 100% playthroughs
Hahaha I have no idea but I use one of the floettes and it’s good
I was never going to do that crazy long play though
The dialogue is crazy
ye and its fking 45 euros
Yeah and not sure if that includes the DLC you needed to get floette
but do you have another recommendation if i cant get the floette
A dude won some tournament with golurk recently
Was a trick room team
but does that just straight up replace the floette
btw do u think i can get one or nah?
If you can’t get Floette I don’t recommend double megas so yeah I’d replace it with golurk
I’ll check
you can tell him i could trade him smth if he wants to
i dont want to be inpacient but?????
?
hey man he just hasn’t answered me about it yet !
I’m from a different country so it’s 1:30am here I was going to go to sleep haha
We will sort it out tomoz if we can
Oh sorry didnt know
Didnt mean to be rude
