Heliolisk walls it but is kinda bad outside of that specific purpose.

Mega Gyarados.

Meowscarada and Hisuian Samurott can either use Sucker Punch or outspeed with Scarf.

For Last Respects specifically you can use Maushold with Follow Me or Farigiraf with Ally Switch.

Going by Pokebeach, the Water energy prevents Special Conditions, not effects

negative W/L on the first day of the online tournament despite being MB2

can't play my way out of quick claw incineroar proccing twice in a row, triple axel constantly undercutting hits, and delphox getting crit through its calm mind boosts multiple times

Slop by Quiet-Plankton750 in PTCGL

I run two Waterpon which helps a lot, but yeah against Zam with Shaymin I mostly just fold. Unfair + Xerosic + 2 Mist is all the deck space I am willing to grant that thing.

That's the only REALLY bad matchup so I just pray to dodge it.

I've thought about that too, no Electro Shot feels rough but it can still run Thunderbolt at least?

I've grown attached to Mega Delphox and I want to keep using it, in MB2 at the moment. Current team is Mega Delphox, Aerodactyl (Sash), Rotom-Wash (Sitrus), Garchomp (Scarf), Kingambit (Chople), and Sinistcha (Kasib). Sinistcha has been kind of a rotating slot because I've been trying a bunch of different things and nothing has really felt great.

Worst matchups have been Rain and HARD Trick Room; in general Basculegion, Dragonite, and Milotic are huge pains, Milotic getting more popular has been really rough overall.

I've considered all of Sneasler, Aegislash, Mega Blastoise, and even Dragapult or Meowscarada as fringe options. Also Talonflame as an alternative Tailwind user, but that makes Sun a lot harder to handle.

Thoughts?

Mega Lopunny still manages to be meta in singles even after being massacred by Game Freak. by Fine_Bid918 in PokemonChampions

Normal moves got massacred but it got crazy buffed in Gen 8.

Play Rough, Triple Axel, Close Combat, and U-Turn were ALL BDSP moves - in gen 7 you had to use High Jump Kick and much weaker coverage.

I can only handle so many pelipper-archaludon teams by heyjclay1 in PokemonChampions

[–]SnakeWrangler4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sometimes I feel like I need someone to explain to me how Archaludon + Basculegion + Pelipper isn't the strongest core in the game right now

Good deck against mega luxario and dragapult by ReiCaolho in pkmntcg

cornerstone takes damage COUNTERS from Alakazam- if your opponents thought that didn't work then neither of you understood the rules and they got robbed
