Whimsicott + Glimmora Team Ideas
Summary
In Pokémon Champions | VGC Battles & Tournaments this announcement explores team combinations centered on Whimsicott and Glimmora and asks for partners beyond the common Yard core. It suggests options like Hisuian Typhlosion, Mega Delphox, Garchomp, and Rotom-W while discussing Tailwind speed control, Toxic Debris sash breaking, ground weaknesses, and Sunny Day plays. Community input is requested for unique pairs and megas.
The duo is ALWAYS used in Yard, wondering if anyone has ideas for more unique pairs
The duo provides:
Speed control: tailwind
Yard/Floette counter: power gem/sludge bomb
Prankster encore: whimsicott
(ok) fairy coverage: whimsicott
Sash breaking: Toxic Debris
I want mons that will pair very well with the 2
Its used in zard?
Idea 1: Hisuian typhlosion
Gives the popular fire + fairy core that is very good right now, and more coverage
It won the japan event
Havent seen ts ig
Its a really strong opening
I just want to find partners besides just yard
Any ideas?
Any megas that work?
What matches is glim weak to
Ground moves for sure (4x weak), and cybertron rain mainly
Meta slop just kinda dies to glim
Maybe mega delphox?
what do you think of 2 ground immunities and garchomp
Mega phox plays like zard sorta
Yeah but its less teched for
Do u have any ideas for megas? I’m open to anything just can’t think of much
Idk im just using mega banette
Sunny day bs with phox
Why 😭
Because i was bored
What does skarm do very well into tho
Its too similar to glimm in that it beats floette and zard
Is my issue
The issue isn’t the overlap in types, its overlap in what it beats
I feel delphox is good since ground immune + fire
And fire + whimsicott (fairy) is always good
Yeah fox seems very good next to tw sunny day whims
Yeah
Yeah, its glimms worst matchup by far
For delphox, heat wave/flamethrower/psychic/protect?
Then timid 32 speed 32 spatk 2 hp
Idk, thats what makes it so good lmao
Garchomp is real, since delphox has levitate
We could throw on a second eq immunity and its pretty good
Yeah, covers weaknesses best
I think wash?
Bulky sitrus rotom wash
Actually it might be scarf offensive
Since whimsicott needs the sitrus
Ehhh
Idk
Actually ima use a different whims ev spread lemme get it rq
We need sitrus for rotom
I’ll do bold coba whimsicott
so whimsicott, glimm, delph, rotom, chomp
And who
Prob a secondary mega
But what mega has good synergy here
I think need a secondary mega
No dupe types so far so we can double up
We don’t need 3 eq immunities, floette is what was originally on this team but its just eh I felt
This team got 46th on ladder
I found it… the way…
I did NOT know medicham was built like that tho
Yeah, I need to go catch one rw
Yeah
Just noticed: medicham ALSO gives us fake out pressure
+base medicham is still usable
once I get it into champs I’ll check what coverage he has
Caught one
Lmao
CC: just the best stab fighting, no other real options, drain punch doesn’t do enough
Psycho cut: We have zen headbutt but I hate missing, also a crit will basically ohko everything
Ice punch: ground coverage
Fake out: do I need to explain this?
This guy is frail so just 32+atk to ohko arch through reflect, 32 speed to be super fast under tailwind. 2hp since its just dumped
Its also good into other stuff. Base medicham is very strong
- if we need fake out
Usually since they see whims they’ll go reflect + flash cannon then rain dance + electro
No one is on sturdy bridge
Also ur under tailwind
Stamina bridge is 100% optimal in cybertron core
if they’re cybertron core, they’re always stamina. If they’re non-cybertron (things like super offensive scarf sets) they die to cc from base medicham
Current team if you wanna try
Slide me a shiny glimmora 🙂
Glimm whim / Foxx whim
Unless trick room or rain
Coba whims is so good into talonflame
Kill things before it goes up
Just go medicham hyper offense
I feel like the team really badly wants our own farig ngl
The support sets with trick room imprison
Rotom is on the chopping block if so
Wdym
Why do they have reflect
Yeah so our own farig is the best option
Still good
The issue is medicham getting faked out
Thats why I really badly want redirection or our own farig
I think we cut rotom
I have a support farig set already lemme get it
I think farig is better here imo
Since farig 100% stops tr
Its, like medicham, a pretty much 1 matchup mon since the other 4 are such a strong core
Thats the idea
Final team for the night, gotta sleep now
Yeah team will 1000% need changes
Also I think (?) twin beam is more common to imprison
Also just ohkoing sneasler is good
W
Non-giraffe setters
Uncommon but exist
Yeah but others exist too
It also allows non-medicham to ko it
Since you can ignore it once imprisoned
Alr I’ll be on from 8am pst tomorrow
?
I’m awake now
No
Yes
Fake out and decent damage
Its a bad sneasler with psychic instead of poison
It's bad
It still does stuff
If you really badly want the coverage, it can do damage
Is it bad? Yes, is it AN option with the team? Also yes
It's really bad I'd definitely not recommend
Also this team idea has been a around quite a bit of time
I saw a phox meow team mid last season
Phox meow giraffe glimm chomp aegi
Where
That was like weird multistep psyspam
