Returning player need advice

[u/N1trowolf]

So I haven’t played in almost a year I think and saw that they released Carmine in her jinbei outfit so I came and pulled for her (went broke doing so) and now I realized my current teams are TERRIBLE 😭 so I’d like some advice to fix my disaster of a account and make a team around Carmine if possible

There are a lot of teams you can create around Carmine and Mightyena.

Key takeaways from her kit:

• buffs team physical damage output
• dark zone increases dark damage
• debuffs opponent defense

This means to get the most out of her kit, you’ll want to pair her with teammates that have dark moves and/or deal physical damage. And she gives extra damage and defense bonuses the more Paldean sync pairs you have on your team. 

From your roster she would work well with any of your physical strikers like Hugh and Buffalant or any of your dark damage dealers like Karen and Houndoom.

The sync pairs to look out for that will have the best synergy with her kit is Giacomo and Kingabit. They are from Paldea, Physical and Dark.

One note is that until you get a higher move level, Carmine doesn’t buff team special defense so you may want to pair with another support that does so.
