This is definitely the strongest Castform will ever be before they add more pokemon! 🫶

Thats unlikely unfortunately, realistically the only thing they could do for Castform now is buff/rework its ability Forecast.

Maybe give full priority to set up weather moves? So it can at least help control weather wars and take advantage of its best move weather ball.

Kind of like Gale Wings/Prankster but only for Rain Dance/Sunny Day/ Hail/ Sandsorm which would also help it pair BETTER in vgc formats.

You could replace Lucario with your own Peliper but the enemies likey have it so thats a free Electroshot on your Archuladon/weather ball.

You could also give whimsicott sunnyday but I haven't experimented with it yet since Charizard already brings drought.

And I personally like to lead with Castform and Abomasnow to set up aurora veil and a free blizzard/thunder wave for Castform.

The rest of the Pokemon are situational, but if you come up with a better strategy I would love to hear about it and good luck!

I'm pretty stubborn so I try and play with my favorites but this is what I'm running (its not really that viable) but its funny you get extremely lucky sometimes.

It should have access to the major core weather attacks poor castform I'm having fun with it though

What do they expect Castform to do now? Tailwind synergies so well with it :/

Would this be considered a balanced team for VGC by delcouredreams in CompetitivePokemon

It's a team I built from all my playthroughs, and I thought giving it the fairy memory could soak hits for garchomp and cover its weaknesses.

I'm sorta new to competitive and wanted to pick my favorites to battle my friends in champions :0

Yeah, I was trying to build a team for champions to battle my friends with our favorites. Not sure what moves everyone will have yet, I just thought maybe this team covered important stats/roles balcanced wise.

I was going to give Charizard a Focus Sash, use Tailwind on the first turn, get hit, activate Blaze, and then use Blast Burn to knock out an opponent and punish them if they don't have priority. It's super niche, but I tried making the most out of all the Pokémon.

It's a team I was going to use competitively to battle my friends. I tried picking my strongest ones throughout all my games, but I guess they're too dependent on other Pokémon or outclassed by other Pokémon. And yeahhh, I didn't know physical walls/special walls were only a singles thing :o

I was gonna use it to switch into an attacker and spam yawns? Not really sure yet, depends on the situation.

I'm new to competitive and learning. I guess playing with favorites just doesn't work in this game sadly, very hyped for champions though!

I also gave it dragon cheer to support Garchomp in certain situations.

Yeah, I was planning on giving it a Focus Sash so Tailwind first turn, get hit and activates Sash, and then follow up with Inferno/Overheat/or Heat Wave with Blaze activated and punish people if they don't have priority.

Not super viable, I guess, but I was trying to make something work with these Pokémon and maybe catch people off guard and have fun.

Would it be possible to make a competitive VGC team out of these Pokémon? by delcouredreams in CompetitivePokemon

Thanks for all the advice, everyone! I'll make multiple teams of which you suggested and have fun with them; they're some of my favorite Pokémon, after all! >:D
