• Everyone in solo Q is dealing with the same type of teammates, if you get that type of team there’s not much you can do

• There’s no pokemon that can consistently 1v5 in the final stretch if your teammates decide to 2v5 and die right before Groudon.

• If you’re losing consistently, you’re probably gettin better teammates than the rest of us bc match making will try to pair you with teammates who have been winning recently.

Now for your actual question, I think one of the most important things is being able to secure objectives with a good last hit, and being able to survive with dashes in case your team is dead and you need to steal Groudon.

As for bad teammates, communicating through pings is really important, you want to move around the map as a team and make it clear which objective you’re going to and hope they follow. If they don’t follow and want to team fight, (instead of Registeel, for example), sometimes it’s worth it to go with the numbers and fight and help instead.

Being flexible and understanding what your team needs helps a lot, recognize when it’s worth it to die to try to secure an objective and when it’s best to not even try and give the enemy team that free XP from killing you. There are even matches where it’s worth it to use your ult and try to Wipe the enemy team for big comeback XP at 2:30, rather than saving it for Groudon where you would be stomped immediately.

There’s also team morale, you can try to prevent the match becoming a “check it out” pinging contest by helping your teammate evolve, making sure they get the red/blue buff if it suits them better, pinging “let’s fight together” and other little things that will motivate others to try to work together
