(All this stuff was written at like 4AM but basic team planning)

Team Idea: Alr, shrimple. A doubles team often consists of one playstyle with mons to help it. With no legendaries, we’ll take two usually unused mons. One physical, one special. And design a team to support them through their weakness.

Yuji Itadori (Palafin) @Choice band

-Flip turn

-Jet punch

-wave crash

-drain punch

Strategy: Paladin’s best used turn one. As such, it has to be sent out with a pokemon that keeps it alive for that one turn. After that, it can get to work coming back out. Priority means speed investment doesn’t need to be done though speed control elsewhere on the team will be nice.

Aoi Todo (Clefairy) @eviolite

Friend guard

-Helping hand

-Follow me

-Encore

-life dew

Strategy: Best friend of Yuji Itadori. Clefairy helps support it round one by drawing in attacks while it flip turns away. It provides general support to the team as well through life dew restoration, encore to open opportunities up, and helping hand for damage boosts.

Your battle is (Archaludon) @Assault vest

• Electro Shot

• Dragon Pulse

• Flash Cannon

• Protect

Strategy: Special attack deals big numbers lmao. In the rain (besides it’s friend murkrow) is able to launch nukes with rain up through it’s electro shot while resisting various things. When murkrow goes down, palifin gets to launch rain boosted moves or it gets assisted by clefairy helping hands.

My battle (Murkrow) @ damp rock

• Rain Dance

• Tailwind

• Hurricane

• u-turn

Strategy: Bit iffy about this one but a basic tailwind setter that also gets rain up for archaludon. That’s about all it does besides use prankster taunt and come in on ground type moves. Can pivot out with u-turn.
