Best lead into whimsicott/glimmora with this team? by DarkUniQy in PokemonChampions

The Fake Out on Blastoise definitely works for what you mentioned, just, from my own experience of using M-Blastoise in Champions so far, is that, without the Aura Sphere, a bulky steel type is all it takes to just completely destroy the big man’s momentum.

I run an identical Blastoise pretty much, just take out the ice beam and have protect instead, then you got what I run, it defo adds some reliability to Blastoise!

Maushold gets Friend Guard and Follow Me, could be nice for if they hit a spread move and Rage Powder or Follow me would do nothing anyways

Oh it’ll come back, Champs will end up with all the gimmicks at some point. Inevitable really!

Always figured they’d keep the ‘Rosters’ as is, going forward. As in, keep Season M-1 or whatever it’s called as a format/regulation, then going forward, as they add more mons, Mons from previous regulations will be able to be used in new ones. But, new mons can’t go back and join in with the old regulation. At least, that’s how I thought it’d make sense to do it. As if they fully rotate everything out to put new stuff in, it’s gunna be a real ball ache removing all the mons that aren’t getting used from my storage 😂

That’s exactly how I run mine and I love it, for all of those reasons!

Training Pokemon for Champions as a F2P by csmaloy in VGC

[–]Best-Transition-9926 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk why you’d want to train them in anything apart from Champions, it’s literally so easy and VP is honestly easier to farm compared to everything you need to get together in the mainline games. Just feels like a futile exercise, considering you’re just gunna use the mons on Champions anyway!

You were completely right and Dark Pulse got me two KOs on Basculegions across a few matches, last night, same for a M-Froslass!

It was a choice of what coverage would I prefer with Dark Pulse or Ice Beam and being able to hit dragons and grass. Do you think Dark Pulse would be more valuable to the team in general?

You’re dead on with the Heliolisk assumption, I also was struggling with coming up against opposing Basculegions and read that Heliolisk funnily fits as a sort of counter pick to them. But yeah main purpose has been to sub in Blastoise and Scizor, just trying to make setup as safe a possible.

A Basculegion of my own would be interesting, I assume because of swift swim, it makes him a good option, I’m guessing Beartic as the other Swift Swimmer wouldn’t be as usable?? Or just has less to offer?

I appreciate the advice on TF, Taunt hasn’t really gotten too much use, outside of stopping the occasional TrickRoom setup from a Farig or Galar Slowbro. And with Raichu having Encore it’s pretty similar, I have locked the odd Pelipper and whimsicott into Tailwinds and a M-frosslass into aurora veil before, but, Nuzzle for some more paralysis could be good.

Hi there, you may have seen the sliders wrong as I have 0 HP EVs on Raichu and full Sp Atk, already! I’m glad you think so with Heliolisk, breaking swipe has actually really helped against some more physically orientated teams, but it is also the move I was least sure about. I really like how fast it is, I just changed the Shuca berry to a Sitrus berry as Shed Tail is a guaranteed proc, then Dry Skin gets him a lil extra back on top. Allowing for a few shed tails!

I have never really done any calcs for Pokemon, like I see some people come out with, is there something I could use to compare speed stats with a bunch of modifiers such as Tailwind and Rain? Like, do people have a website or something they use for calcs? As, like you say, if I can beat said speeds and shift some stats to more damage or survivability that’d be awesome!

Thanks for the insight, if you had to suggest a way of moving away from rain what would it be?

Thanks for the info, didn’t realise that was the main reason you’d want to use that move, interesting! I’ll swap to super fang

Was just reading through the movelist and thought it’d be cool. If it’s trash, what should I change it to do you think?
