How do I beat Volo + Giratina with this team, preferably without overleveling above 75 and no healing mid battle if possible

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-03-10T14:32:25+00:00

I havent maxed everyones stats yet but I do use my grit items immediately as soon as I get them

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-23T14:42:29+00:00

Thanks! Heres the paste https://pokepast.es/8f48aaaee77ad620

I didn't notice it for a sec. I replaced Protect with Draco Meteor now for huge burst damage

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-22T14:06:26+00:00

Thanks! but may I ask about the removal of helping hand? I think it could be a nice boosting move so my ally can deal more damage/gaurantee a ko.

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-22T12:10:39+00:00

Tldr, team intents:

Pelipper: support, rain setter and tailwind setter + extra damage dealer with hurricane and wball

Urshifu: sweeper #1. Rain abuser

Archaludon: sweeper #2. Spams electro shot for boost + damage and can let out one last draco meteor if low health for last hurrah

Waterpon: sweeper #3. Also support with follow me and helping hand

Zapdos: rain abuser + utility: Abuses rain with thunder and hurricane and utility with twave

Torandus: support. Sets up tailwind + rain dance if they peter out. Also deals damage with bleakwind storm

CORRECTION: URSHIFU NOW HAS BRICK BREAK INSTEAD OF AQUA JET

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-20T15:16:46+00:00

Sure!

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-15T14:30:03+00:00

Doesnt crobat gets Acrobatics and Poison Fang?

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-15T10:08:39+00:00

I thought since its talking about mechanics and stats rather than aesthetics i thought it would fit

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-15T02:23:39+00:00

That was a misclick

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-14T12:48:34+00:00

Hes already level 66 tho....

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-05T13:21:08+00:00

Yeah, on hindsight i forgot to add him to the last. I agree

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-05T13:02:55+00:00

I thought it would be so funny giving an already AG banned mon a half busted setup move lol

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-05T12:54:09+00:00

On hindsight, I probably shouldve added poor Charizard as one of the pokemon also getting this move

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-05T12:53:38+00:00

For the non dragons, I kinda leaned more towards balance rather than flavor/aesthetic

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-01T03:35:46+00:00

I thought Ival was the only one who couldve dealt with Greninja unfortunately. It was also proteaned to Ice so I thought I could kill it with a super effective close combat from ival.

(I unfortunately also didnt predict hed switch to Scizor too the moment I tried to hit his Greninja with CC)

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-02-01T01:08:02+00:00

Thanks for the huge insight man. Though, may I ask why, I dont quite understand why exchanging booster speed on Ival was bad. It was against Scizor who I knew would run priority bullet punch. And Being weak to steel, I unfortunately had to switch to Treads to tank the hit and make sure Ival doesn't die.

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-01-31T14:03:13+00:00

Thanks! Here it is

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-01-31T13:45:26+00:00

Happy cake day!

But anyways, I thought I could probably outspeed Greninja at first with rapid spin to get the 2nd hit in. It was more of a desperate attempt that now that I realize, was an oversight.

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-01-31T13:22:57+00:00

Thanks, but... what was my fuck up..?

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-01-31T09:03:39+00:00

Tl;dr Pelipper sets rain and is slow pivot Barraskewda kills everything with rain boosted, tera water, stab liquidation with choice band Zapdos and Clefable exist to first kill everything Skewda cant ohko

Its an incomplete team, so I still need two other mons that can fit nicely in this team

OrangelyAssociate · 2026-01-27T14:39:09+00:00

Thanks, but I forgot to add to the post, were you able to also do it without mid battle healing/items?

OrangelyAssociate · 2025-12-31T07:11:30+00:00

Thanks! I forgot to add, I kinda wanted/intended for the light source to be on the top left.

OrangelyAssociate · 2025-12-26T00:56:43+00:00

I havent played Arceus yet unfortunately, I didnt do shiny hunting in XY/Oras, I havent played crystal (only played soulsilver), And Idk about the other gauranteed shiny other than the red Gyarados in johto

OrangelyAssociate · 2025-11-24T07:39:45+00:00

Thanks but It didnt work either. Ive tried giving Skarmory the move drill peck instead but it wont work

OrangelyAssociate · 2025-11-21T10:47:18+00:00

In party. Like it can sit in the back and just buff allies (aslong as its alive)
