In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement reviews a Level 50 team featuring Mega Kangaskhan, Dragapult, Milotic, Hisuian Typhlosion, Sneasler, and Hisuian Arcanine. It highlights concerns about running two frail fire sweepers and recommends swapping H-Arcanine for a grass supporter like Whimsicott or Sinistcha and moving the Choice Scarf to H-Typhlosion.

Looks good, but why two frail fire type sweepers? With all the physical attackers, i'd recommend dropping H-Arcanine for a grass type supporter (Whimiscott or Sinistcha) and moving the scarf to H-Typhlosion.

hmmm i look into switching typloshion with maybe gyarados or some other offensive-support mix because overall, H-Arcanine has been doing a lot more than typhlosion (I even tried scarf on typloshion on shodown and it hasnt been doing as much as arcanince with scarf) I thought for a while when thinking about protect or dragon pulse but i ultimantly decided dragon pulse
