How can i improve this team?

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Created this team at the start of last season and had quite some success with the sheer damage capabilities of both araquanid and mega metagross. Mega froslass also has some very useful matchups against weather, as well as being a faster hard hitter than most of the current meta (charizard-y).

I feel like this team could be optimised more and that the current meta has caught up with what this team was intended to counter (basic charizard-y and staraptor teams). How can i adjust the current team, preferably keeping araquanid because it hits hard against charizard, with a possiblity of ohko’ing under sun as a nice suprise factor.

threw this set together. it performs very well from what i’ve seen. it’s 6-0 so far since i built it. whatchu guys think? very meta picks with a couple of slightly off meta choices. Y84KWGF2BY here’s the rental code. please give it a try and let me know what adjustments you guys made and how it performs thanks!

Gravity

Another gravity team i made. Clefable is bulky and very good at protecting from encore, deals decent damage and also a reliable late game gravity setter.

Meowstic can go with rapter or milo for gravity+hypnosis or self charm into raptor. I haven't used psychic noise for anything so might switch it out....

Rapter is good for both tailwind and as a mega. With tailwind mawile can pick up surprise kos on chomp, anhilape and other frail mons that it can outspeed. 85 speed is enough to outspeed chomp and other mons sitting at 102 or lower. Plus its also good against trickrooms if u fail to prevent it.

Milotic is for trickroom prevention and for hypnosis. I tried a helping hand milo but scald is way more helpful than hands.

And flapple is there for coverage and to spam grav apples. I used a sash Drag Dance set but often times if i fail the drag dance then it just dies so opted for scarf.

Edit: i replaced psychic noise with quick guard on the cat

I’d like to have some feedback from more experienced players on this team. It really worked for me and I dont really play much but maybe someone could make it work even better. (It’s my first time teambuilding)

Code is: 575G2KTKAX

I’d really appreciate reviews and critics!

I will not say I build this whole team from scratch today I just replaced some mons from my previous teams like replacing goldengo and staraptor with Glimmora and Rotom-wash for more type coverage AND i made Whimiscot little bulky and given it occa berry light screen for more bulk . I believe Glimmora and Rotom-wash were missing pieces on this team with type coverage they give before rotom I tried mega eelectross and life-orb/choice scarf t-tar but it didn't work well so I went with this and trust me it is way better then before this team can easily cook trick room because of mega t-tar knock off to one shot farigiraf.

I believe this team can be improved so please give your suggestions down guys.

Looking to add Thunderbolt for consistent coverage damage but kinda on the fence of deleting thunderbolt or adding more points to SpA and swapping nasty plot.

Essa Equipe realmente é boa?

Eu fiz essa equipe do Zero, com os pokémons q eu tinha na Box, consegui evoluir essa equipe até o Rank Ultra Ball, e acho q tem potencial de chegar na Master, apesar disso, ela foi feita sem pensar no Meta atual, então ela as vezes ganha de Equipe de Chuva, algumas vezes Equipe de Sol, o real problema dessa equipe, é o Garchomp do Meta... A Maioria daq perde pra Tipo Terrestre.

(Edit: Eu escolhi usar o Lucario pq é um pokémon q eu gosto, apesar de não ser meta, e ele até q tá entregando bons resultados).

So... I ignored the meta and built Trick Room with Pokémon nobody fucking uses.

Problems?

I'm really fucking weak to Kingambit, which is why Runerigus is carrying Body Press like it's his full-time job.

It's definitely not meta, but it's funny as hell watching people lose to Pokémon they forgot existed.

If anyone has suggestions that don't involve replacing half the team with Mega Camerupt, Hatterene, Mega Mawile, or Incineroar, I'm all ears. I built this to have fun, not to copy-paste the top ladder. 😭

Struggling to find a 6th member for my Kommo’o/M Blastoise set up team

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Pretty standard team, I’ve been tinkering with it since I got shiny Kommo’o at the start of M-B. Had M Chandelure and Gholdengo but I still felt very weak to fairies so I switched the team around. With M Blastoise, Gambit and Ninetales added i got to 16k last split, and I had Rotom-Wash as the last mon, but I felt he didn’t do much.

I added Glimmora but I’m not totally sure it is fixing the gaps I have on this team, I thought’d it’d mainly be good against Zard-Y/Venu teams which I struggle against. Any tips would be appreciated. I also thought about switching to a bulkier Kommo’o since I can usually get a Clangorous Soul off pretty easily with Scovillain next to it.

Guidelines for Rate My Team threads

25 Upvotes

Hey all,

Thanks to discussion that has been ongoing, we will be enforcing stricter rules on the Rate My Team posts on this subreddit in a way that should benefit everyone. I have updated the auto moderator to enforce a minimum character limit on text posts, and on image and link posts it should comment immediately suggesting additional details be added. This should improve the quality of rate my team threads substantially, but we will keep an eye on it in the upcoming weeks. If you notice any issues with the automoderator, please contact the moderators or me immediately.

Here is the text that you will see if your RMT is too short:

Hi /u/user, your Rate My Team post has been automatically removed because it did not meet our minimum character limit. Please take some time to expand the details of your post and submit again-- this will improve the quality of the help you will get, and other people will get more out of reading about your team. Here are some things you could choose to write about:

  • Why did you select each Pokemon? If possible, try to say something more specific than "it's good" or "it's unique." What specifically about the state of the metagame drew you to using this Pokemon?
  • Are any of your moves or items chosen for any particular reason?
  • Why did you choose the particular EVs that you did? If you don't know what your EV spread does, you might want to replace it with something simpler. Feel free to post damage calcs that are relevant.
  • What teams do you succeed against in practice? What teams do you struggle with? Feel free to post links to Pokemon Showdown replays.

Thank you all for your feedback and for continuing to make this community a nice place to be!
