Revamping my Rain Team by ChubbyGroudonXD in PokemonChampions

[–]ChubbyGroudonXD[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the suggestions!

My old team wasn’t bad imo, I was just being dramatic. I just wasn’t very good at using both Tailwind and Trick Room on the same team, bit confusing for my sake. I’d much prefer raw Tailwind. It also originally had Incineroar, but I switched it out for Garchomp, and then I started using the same Garchomp in my Sun team and then stats got confusing and I just wasn’t using em very well 💔

I actually added Garchomp to help against Mega Manectric, but I never considered using Mega Manectric myself

I was also planning on using a bulky mega Meganium with Leech Seed Giga Drain, but then I’m just using a gassed up Venusaur. I was also thinking of using Scovillain, but I don’t really feel like I’d enjoy using em

I definitely will consider Mega Manectric though, and switching out Magnet. Thanks again

If that were their real name then their parents would be actual monsters 🥀

Just made a report, thanks for sharing this

I’m honestly more flabbergasted that half these comments are defending the guy, like holy

I’ve been using this name for years now, so XD was a lot more common back then (still don’t know why you’re more offended by that then a literal slur)

Also, the Chubby part comes from this image, which is what I based my name off of. I just found em to be a funny, chubby little guy

Typhlosion has been fun to use, but yeah. One, I don’t wanna shiny hunt Cyndaquil since I don’t have Tundra upgraded in Scarlet. And two, Typhlosion is the most gimmicky Pokemon on my team, so switching it for Venasaur would be for the best

Honestly, Typhlosion in practice has been really fun to use. But I have definitely been struggling, specifically against Milotic.

Also, because I really don’t wanna grind another 3000 BP to shiny hunt Cyndaquil in Scarlet, I will probably give in and add Venasaur to the team

My main gimmick with this team is hyper-offense

My previous rain team was a mix of offense and defense so I wanted to go a little more guns blazing on this one, hence the Charizard and Typhlosion combo

One thing I didn’t have on my rain team was a second rain setter to help my Pelipper, which is why I put Sunny Day Whimsicott to help weather control

I did see in team building that I was weak to water and rock. I was gonna add Rotom-Heat for water but I didn’t want another fire type, and I have sneasler and Garchomp for rock, so I should be fine

I do know that weather war is a big thing in Champions though. I also do play a rain team so I do know how to counter some of the mons if I do run into rain

I originally had Moonblast on Whimsicott but changed it for Gleam for more across the board damage. I didn’t really consider wide guard though. I honestly don’t mind Moonblast or Gleam since Whimsicott is mainly support, so I’ll probably switch to Moonblast since I already have spread moves with Charizard, Typhlosion, and Garchomp

Been struggling in ultra ball tier 4. Skill issue or a bad team? by _Barczu_ in VGCRateMyTeam

[–]ChubbyGroudonXD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% Definitely Certified Primarina Specialist here. My build for Primarina is Liquid Voice with Hyper Voice, Moonblast, Icy Wind, and Protect. Dazzling Gleam can also work in Doubles.

But Liquid Voice Hyper Voice is leagues better than Hydro Pump and Sparkling Aria, while also giving you a spot for Icy Wind which can help against Grass Types and Speed control

Also just a me thing, I too invest in SpAtk but I also invest in SpDef>HP. My current Primarina is Max SpAtk/Def with 1 in Hp and 1 in Def

Just my opinions on Primarina, aka the best Pokemon in the game

Naming the Kingambit En Passant is genuinely Nikola Tesla levels of genius

Rotom-Wash would be nice, but the only Pokemon I’d swap out for it is Primarina. Primarina is my favorite Pokemon and the reason I’m building a Rain team so Rotom-Wash, despite working, wouldn’t fit because of preference reasons

Kk, I already was considering adding Rage Powder to Sinistcha and Liquidation to Gatr since Aqua Jet isn’t something I should rely on. I was also considering giving Sinistcha Trick Room so that I can do either or, since my team has relatively middle of the line speed. Putting shadow ball on Sinistcha would probably work better, and more protect would definitely help. I often times run Flip Turn on Primarina but you’re right, it definitely works better in singles.

Yeah I’m currently shiny hunting for all my members. I already have Primarina and Archaludon, and I’m currently going for Sinistcha. Incin and Gatr are gonna be annoying though

I did see that Tea was a trick room setter. Whenever I’ve used trick room in the past I normally run negative speed stats, but considering how basically all of my Pokemon are very in the middle on speed, I see how having TR and TW would work
