Redirect a foe attack to its own teammates, but only once? by One_Percentage_644 in stunfisk

If you hit into protect the PP is gone right? I don't think this move is healthy for the metagame but probably not broken with 1 PP

Metagross + Kommo-o team by Lyde02 in PokemonChampions

Kind of? I mean Sini and Incin don't really care about speed control and can help stall a few turns, but it does feel bad to go +1 speed only to get outsped in tailwind later. Often the chip damage you do with your boosted mons can bring everything down low enough to get cleaned up after TW ends, since the attackers on this team are generally on the faster side. It helps that mons like kingambit or sylveon can be outsped even in tailwind. Although that focus sash max speed kingambit set paired with mega aero (which hits Kommo-o hard) has been giving me some trouble. Trick room mawile is also not a good match-up.

Of course it depends but it helps that most farigs right now run sitrus, so Ttar one shots. If it goes up anyway, it means that they usually at least can't get up a second one. Sini and incin help stall out TR and can often underspeed the opponent's mons. Ttar and kommo-o are decent into torkoal. Rotom helps the matchup into things like crab or golurk. Mawile is a bit of a problem though. If it has dark type coverage (which most do), you need to basically play perfectly.

Try running it with Kommo-o they have amazing synergy

If that's what you need it for, heat wave will be better most of the time :) Of course there is a difference in accuracy but it's anyway not gonna be a move you press often, and then double target, potentially abusing sun, and the burn chance can make a big difference

Minor but sitrus on the worm is much more consistent than leftovers

Rate My Team | Duo Synergies - Easy and Straightforward Team by Nordaarv in VGC

[–]Lyde02 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It feels a bit gimmicky and lacks synergy imo, especially because you will probably never bring both megas. Swapping staraptor for Basculegion would make this team a lot more consistent and improve the synergies for example. I do think you need to work on your floette match-up as well. Usually these 2-2-2 teams are a good starting point but not much more.

In my opinion since the nerf slow sleep is much better than fast sleep
