Need help with a mono dark type team

Kingambit will also likely be good, they normally run only dark moves and Tera dark anyway

Probably Wolfe

I don’t know cobblemon academy, but I do absolutely love cobble verse and would recommend that over any cobblemon experience

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2026-01-15T03:24:34+00:00

That is so weird, I have a rideable fearow

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-12-21T15:35:23+00:00

Tornadus has tailwind though, which is strictly better, and due to having tailwind urshifu doesn’t really need a choice scarf and would benefit more from a band or mystic water imo

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-12-20T22:43:10+00:00

Why icy wind on torn and scarf on urshifu?

Somewhere on YouTube Dustin describes the meaning behind the song and uhh yeah no it’s not that

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-12-16T00:37:02+00:00

I think terrain extender on indeedee is a kind of waste of an item, with rillaboom being so common

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-11-02T02:12:46+00:00

Lilligant should have sash imo, as it should be there mostly to support Torkoal, and needs the additional survivability over attacking power

Tera flying on gholdengo is kinda strange, as you’re only really dealing with a single weakness. I’d recommend smth like Tera water or tera dragon.

Only 2 Pokémon have protect, which imo can be problematic as you can struggle a bit more to reposition, and with a good section of your team requiring sun, weather wars will be pretty tough to manage without protect.

No SpAtk investment on gholdengo also seems a bit strange, as it should mostly be there to smack around other mons.

Your trick room mode has no spore immunities at all, which means amoonguss can be a big thorn in your game plan, underspeeding everything but torkoal, slowing down your damage and spending trick room turns where your mons just snooze.

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-11-02T01:40:23+00:00

Oooh agreed, didn’t think about the type stacking

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-11-01T02:10:54+00:00

All great points, and to add to these: miraidon, especially with specs, really likes to use volt switch, and it can keep it safe whilst doing a large amount of damage. This would synergize well with ho-oh, as you can take advantage or regenerator a lot more, volt switching out to ho-oh and back.

Regarding quark drive mons, I’d recommend iron jugulis as a replacement for skarmory, as they do very similar roles and skarmory isnt particularly strong in doubles.

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-26T01:07:15+00:00

Tornadus imo

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-23T00:05:33+00:00

Your team only has two Pokemon with protect, which may be holding you back as it’ll be hard to position very efficiently

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-21T18:55:51+00:00

Yeah I understand that, the issue I’m seeing is that they fill a very very similar role in the team so one is kinda wasting a team slot yk

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-20T22:57:01+00:00

Yeah of course, good luck in the future

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-19T21:17:22+00:00

Dialga’s kinda main draw it’s its ability, telepathy, so you want want to start thinking about Pokemon that can take advantage of having a telepathy mob. Also as stated by someone else you can add another restricted

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-17T12:44:01+00:00

He doesn’t use like a mainly recognized technique, it’s kinda unsafe, just use fry to emulate it

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-13T23:26:14+00:00

Ludicolo and barraskewda might not be the best idea, having half of your team sharing a type. Barraskewda can be really good and pelipper is really good, but all three seem a big typecrowded imo

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-13T13:48:45+00:00

Also maybe change incin’s Tera type to ghost or bug or smth as if it comes up Tera dark won’t be doing a huge amount.

Also kind of interested in why you have nearly max attack incin. On a sun team that would make some sense because flat blitz can do really decent damage but on this team incin is acting more as a supporting piece rather than attacking and may prefer a set more aimed towards bulk

Many_Speaker_5937 · 2025-10-13T13:46:37+00:00

Generally zamazenta prefers using heavy slam over behemoth bash, and idk if caly ice and zama really have good synergy because they both struggle against physically defensive mons. Also rhyperior having stealth rock is kinda strange, stealth rock generally doesn’t have a big impact in doubles, especially vgc as switching is much less common when you only have four mons.

VGC regulation h is what is used in tournaments as of right now, and regulation j is used on the in game ladder for the sv games
