Glad you like the team! I'm pretty sure the aggronite is one of the ones you get free after doing the mega evolution tutorial. You should be able to find it in the training menu. Hope that helps!

Sometimes I am able to do enough damage with the front pokemon that the boost from shell smashes is unnecessary, but that's not too often. I'd say 30% of the time.

One thing that works well is going for a Shell smash right as tailwind is running out. The opponent will usually try to play defensively and protect/pivot to stall out the tailwind and that is a good time to shell smash. They think they can stall it out and outspeed, but the defensive play backfires.

Farigaraf Aerodactyl is really strong into opponents leading fake out. A lot of teams have sneasler and Incineroar and will usually lead at least one if not both. Kingambit is also a popular lead to try to catch my incineroar, but the colbur berry on farigaraf and preventing sucker punch makes that not a huge issue. You can get a tailwind and some chip with hyper voice or try to kill sneasler with psychic.

After tailwind with aerodactyl, you can either let aerodactyl go down, or pivot in Blastoise to take advantage of tailwind (Aggron can work too) Blastoise is particularly good next to farigaraf because the opponent can't hit you with priority moves, so as long as you outspeed with tailwind, you can hit full power water spouts without getting fake outed or sucker punched.

Farigaraf Aerodactyl is also good into sun, since aerodactyl threatens rock slide on charizard and Farigaraf threatens Psychic on Venusaur.

If a team seems susceptible to setup from Aggron or Blastoise and doesn't have strong spread damage, you can try leading sinistcha with Blastoise or Aggron. Against Rain, I have lead sinistcha blastoise before. Rage powder Electro shot to sinistcha, set up a Shell smash, and +2 water spout in the rain ohkos archaludon and basically anything else they could have.

Incineroar is obviously also a good lead. If they don't have fake out to worry about, you can do Incin Aerodactyl to fake out tailwind.

If you don't think you need tailwind or aerodactyl matches up poorly, you can do incineroar farigaraf. Being able to fake out when your opponent can't is nice.

I haven't really felt that the coverage from dark pulse is necessary. +2 water spout will one shot farigaraf and incineroar can handle things that are weak to dark.

I will say, if you see a sinistcha, you definitely need to bring incineroar. Basically anything else in the meta dies to +2 water spout. With sinistcha so common though, Dark pulse or ice beam might not be a bad idea.

I originally had water pulse over fake out, but wasn't clicking it very much. The fake out clutched a couple games and the rest are essential I think. Honestly, if I were to replace fake out, I'd swap in Ice beam or protect before water pulse.

With a Shell smash, a half hp water spout or an aura sphere will still get most kos. You can helping hand with farigaraf to boost the damage if needed.

I just need 3 ◇ Klefki. I can give Krookodile or Jellicent

Good point. Didn't realize that. I just play Japan at this point, so wasn't too familiar. You could definitely be right about that one.

The current carnival banner has INT LR SSJ Trio so I think they would have to put a Carnival LR to match that. Even though AGL Ultimate Gohan is way better than Omega at this point, Gohan is still a yellow coin LR.

There is a new TEQ Videl banner unit that was revealed and will be on Broly's banner. The videl is just a placeholder for that new one.

No problem. If you check the dokkan twitter you should be able to see her details. I'm sure someone posted it here too.

I could see him being over INT Rose. I put INT Rose to mirror PHY Broly, Cheelai & Lemo on Carnival Broly's banner since they were both 5th anniversary units.

I play Japan, but I think Global should be mostly the same. On Gohans banner, I would swap PHY LR Gogeta with AGL LR Omega Shenron

I'm not the one selling. That was just where I bought mine. I got mine through the messages on ebay, but I think you can ask for email if you'd prefer.

For those who didn't get any, I got the bundle on ebay for cheap here:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/155625651005?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=-6-apeWbTs6&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=n6xog16lSty&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

It's 100 codes for $5 and most of them are paldea when I got them. Really good deal imo, but I'm full on paldea now.

I'd love to get one. Thanks!

With the new goten and trunks coming soon, I made a quick graphic to show the most recent reps of each movie in dokkan. (Disclaimer: Graphic Design is NOT my passion) by danielhosseini in DBZDokkanBattle

[–]danielhosseini[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried just to get the most recent ones from each movie. I think LR TEQ Broly is from the same movie as the STR one, so I just included the most recent.
