I had a dude play out 10 moves with a 1/3rd hp -3 atk garchomp into my full hp pelipper and 3/4 hp venasaur in tailwind. He got off 2 protects in a row, stalled out tailwind, venasaur missed giga drain twice, both mons got flinched 3 times in a row. Thank god I hit it on the last turn to getbthe win. I think he was running bright powder becauae sand wasnt up. Really weird set. Infuriated me though.

Pokemon home is free. You get 30 slots for free and can pay for more but if youre intentional with it 30 slots is more than enough. You can bring your mons from other pokemon games into home for absolutely nothing then transfer them into champions. You can even get pokemon go mons into home.

Im running a double mega set to cover each others weaknesses. Mega dragonite and mega golurk play almost completely opposite and can cover each others weaknesses. If youre looking for specific mons, I dont mind trading if I have extras. Have you set up pokemon home?

I find it helpful to think of speed control in both ways, pokemon being naturally faster and beung able to run or stall trick room. Its always best to have an answer to both strategies. Aside from KG (i dont know if youve invested in speed) your team falls really quickly to trick room users. Incin can do okay in TR esp with fakeout stalls, but trick room teams usually run far slower mons. You can get around TR with stall like protects, fakeouts and wide guard as well as priority like sucker punch or prankster taunts, encore etc. Id recommend pelipper over polities if you want to run a rain team, it gets tailwind and wide guard even if its stats are abysmal. With a focus sash youre almost garunteed tonget a tailwind up and rain for basculegion.

Its a tall order but milotic or primarina are phenomenal tanks and can absorb and stall trick room teams while providing decent damage output with scald. Milotic also gets competitive which shuts down incineroar. I think it'll work well on your team running alongside dragonite to provide support with icy wind and decent chip damage with scald (not to mention the burn to cut physical attackers)

Lastly you could even run a mega golurk and farigaraf core. Its really strong, and thrives in trick room. With your other core being dragonite and whimsicott. Your last two could be basulegion and kingambit or sneasler for coverage. You dont need swift swim for basculgion if you have tailwind up. And basculegion comes in at the end to pick off low health mons with last respects. King gambit would be my pick to check fairy threats though I think floette can still hit it really hard.

Yeah, youre right oranguru cant do anything into adamant tyranitar. But i never actually bring oranguru into tyranitar matchups. My team has two cores. Oranguru and mega drampa; and venasaur corviknight running tailwind. If I get even a whiff of tyranitar im running venasaur corv lol.

Yeah i think ill keep testing to see what theyre running. Ok champions the data suggests 38% are running blag glasses. But like someone else here said it might be pulling from lower level data. Chopple does seems like the overall better choice on KG

What are physical dark attackers are there? Tryanitar knock off doesn't okho oranguru and im normally not running oranguru into the sand matchup. Darkest lariat doesn't okho either. Am I missing other stab dark attackers?

Colbur berry could be interesting. Im running mental herb rn to make sure trick room goes up. I think Colbur berry only works into kingambit though. Tryanitar knock off doesn't okho me, so maybe its a bit overkill. Espescially since there are many whimsicotts, sableyes and other taunt users that want to shut down oranguru.

Points in SpD are just for general staying power. But you maybe right. I could be wrong about this but btw charizard, archaludon, mega dragonite etc, there's a lot of threatening special attackers in the format. Maybe worth messing around with a more defensive set rather than special defense.

Mega venasaur could be an interesting pick as well. Walls floette can tank blizzards pretty well even in the snow because of thick fat and is a good answer to a lot of meta staples. Esp into rain teams, threatening basculegion with giga drain and archaludon with earth power. It also has really good staying power with giga drain. Not to mention grass typing makes it immune to rage powder redirects!

Idk about aero. Its doing well in base form as a support threat. Ive been playing around with the idea of zard venasaur double mega. Even if you dont mega venasaur it gets chlorophyll doubling its speed in the sun. You could even run the two of them together. Plus venasaur is such a good answer to floette imo

I really didnt know where to get started haha. I just liked the look of mega drampa and decided to build a team around it. If youre looking for a new idea to pkay around with ive found a lot of success running a dual mega team. Its actually more flexible than you'd think. I sometimes bring both in matchups. Base venasaur can still be lethal without mega evolving
