i reached masters i just need some guidance how to improve this team and what r its weakness
why both earthquake and stomping
rockslide would be really useful coverage on chomp
wait why tf does basc have protect
if it's running choice scarf it never wants to run protect
aqua jet would be a better option
Hmmm yea
running protect on a choice mon is never the right move because unless you're blessed by god himself you're forced to switch out or you basically have the ability truant and can't move every other turn, making you extremely vulnerable
Oh shit i forgot
I will take off earthquake for rock slide
ok thanks broski
no prob, good luck on the grind, i will add your team looks a little cooked against mega swampert
your team is more tailored towards mega staraptor so Charizard kinda looked taped one for no reason besides it's strong
it's not bad persay but can lead to you losing the weather war extremely easily
So what things should i add
Or even remove
depends on if you want to keep Charizard or not
If you don't really care about Charizard you could add sinischa for extra healing on staraptor, counter trick room if you need it, redirection, and it basically always one shots swampert without investment unless they're running a really bulky pert
if you want to keep Charizard you can add Venusaur instead of Incin or maybe Basc
with Charizard sun you don't really want to press water move on basculegion since it's power is lowered
Staraptor and Charizard y are both strong but they're kinda awkward pairing with each other
Hmm
Really
Ok then
