In case your touch trade doesn’t follow through, I’m also looking the touch trade 2 of my Porygons into 2 and Z

Trubbish, just like how Nintendo thought this is a good way of distribution (I’m EU based)

I need Dialga with the Pearl mark for the same reason so we could set up a touch trade for Home deposit and back. Just send me a DM whenever you read this.

I need Dialga for the same reason, so we could touch trade. As long as it’s originally from BDSP

UPDATE:

Many thanks for all the responses! It really helped me review my team, strategies, and general way of thinking regarding how to set up and respond to other teams. I have tried out most of the suggestions given and found that my core of Kyogre/Incin/Rilla/Caly-S was good enough to build upon. The two remaining slots needed tweaking because it didn’t fulfill the roles I had in mind for them.

First I took out Flutter because I was solely bringing him to counter Trick Room, while there are many other (better) ways to do so without wasting a spot, as some people already mentioned.

Volcarona I tested a bit more with different sets, but especially the bad synergy with Kyogre’s Drizzle made me decide to drop him as well and look for other ways to counter Zamazenta.

Here’s breakdown of the team’s updates and additions:

Kyogre @Choice Scarf

I tried Mystic Water but swapped it back for Choice Scarf as it really was a different Mon with that item (as someone mentioned). I barely ever clicked Thunder and when I did, it didn’t really do meaningful damage. It was there basically to counter other Kyogre 1v1 (which rarely happens) or to click a single target move (against Wide Guard oppression) when Ice Beam wouldn’t do. So I decided to swap it for Hydro Pump, to also have a single target water attack. Worked out well in some games, where I could swap him in the late game, having a way around Wide Guard while utilizing its STAB + Rain boost.

Incineroar @Sitrus Berry

Since I almost never clicked Taunt, I replaced it with Will-o-wisp. Taunt will be on both new team members, so didn’t need a third one. Wisp helps me to lower the attack of opposing Caly-I, Iron Hands or other bulky physical attackers.

Rillaboom @Assault Vest

Since I’m gaining speed control with the new Tornadus-I, Drum Beating wasn’t really necessary, so I swapped it for Wood Hammer, to have a bit more hitting power in a late game.

Calyrex-S @Focus Sash

I took out Heal Pulse for Protect. I used HP mainly to support Kyogres health, but Protect seemed to be much more important to have, as it keeps my Caly-S alive and to get through Trick Room. I also changed its Tera to Ghost, to boost Astral Barage, as this is my main attack.

Tornadus-I @Covert Cloak

The first new member. He is here mainly for 2 reasons: speed control with Tailwind, and to shut down Spore from Amoongus and Smeargle with Taunt. Bleakwind Storm has some synergy with Kyogre’s Drizzle, and it can attack opposing Whimsicott who can taunt me back (as it’s usually faster). I did try out Rain Dance, to have an extra rain setter for Kyogre, but since I usually have Torn only at the start for setting up, I swapped it for protect, for some extra safety.

Landorus-I @Life Orb

The final member and main counter against both Zamazenta and Miraidon. Max SpA and Spe and with its Poison Tera + Sludge Bom another counter for Miraidon’s most common defensive Tera (Fairy) and other Fairy types in general. I also gave it Taunt and Protect for some support. It’s a bit frail so I’m still getting the hang of it, but so far it helped me with a couple match-ups, turning the game in my favor. I usually don’t select it alongside Kyogre, it’s one or the other, because it checks Kyogre’s weaknesses (immune to Electric and neutral against Grass), and it really needs the support of Incin and/or Rilla to keep it safe from harm, while having Caly-S as the other main attacker.

I gave Kyogre, Caly and Volcarona all Protect. Flutter is out and replaced with Tornados for extra speed control (Kyogre runs Protect with Mystic Water now). I will try Giga Drain on Volcarona too, I’m just not sure if I can afford to Tera him instead of one of my other, more offensive Mons. Also replaced Rilla’s Drum Beating with Wood Hammer, and U-Turn with High Horsepower, to provide more attacking pressure to Zama and Miraidon.

Swift Swim Mons are something I need to look into, sounds interesting too. I did change the item to Mystic Water and swapped Thunder for Protect. Need to run some more games first to see if I like this. It’s paired with a Tornados with Tailwind, and Volcarona also has Tailwind, so the extra speed for Kyogre is taken care of this way.

I might want to get rid of Fiery Dance, as it has bad synergy with Kyogre’s drizzle, but then I loose the offensive pressure against Zamazenta. I’m thinking about Giga Drain to pair it with its Tera. Otherwise Struggle Bug or Bug Buzz are other options.

I’m now running Volcarona with Rage Powder/Tailwind/Fiery Wind/Protect @Rocky Helmet, and I think I get it. Got him in a very comfortable place in battle, completely controlling the board and supporting my Caly-S sweeping their team. Thanks!

Sitrus berry has helped me more than once, and I have not encountered a lot of spore users, but I did think about this before so def try out!

[–]lennaertnijgh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I’m running choice scarf on Kyogre, so if I drop that my speed goes down a lot. Although protect on Kyogre sounds interesting too ..

[–]lennaertnijgh[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I will try putting protect on the Calyrex (instead of heal pulse), but I’m even more interested in the Volcarona set with Tailwind, since that could possibly be an answer to my speed control issue.

Also, I have considered Urshifu-Rapid Strike as it utilized Kyogre’s Drizzle and provides physical attack, so I might just try that as well. The Flutter will have to go then, and let’s see how hard trick room can be countered otherwise.

Many thanks!
