Rate My Team: What Mon’s Would Fit Well on this Mega Mawile Team Comp?

Team Idea

I have the below core that I have been climbing quite easily with on the ladder, just broke into MB3 with relative ease. I’ll have explanations for decisions I’ve made against each of the mons but the first 4 in particular are working fantastic.

I am looking for advice on the final 2 mons at the moment. Currently running Sinistcha and Vileplume but I never bring Vileplume, and Sinistcha has been helpful in rain matchups but I never really bring it otherwise.

The main matchups I’m struggling with are sand, but the Staraptor/Y-Chu matchup has also been a bit tough. I’ve almost been exclusively leading Sneasler/Farigiraf and having some more flexibility would be nice.

Team Description

Poke Paste wasn’t working for me when trying to upload. Have had to do some formatting to make the below compliant with post rules, sorry. https://pokepast.es

Mega Mawile with Hyper Cutter
32 HP / 32 Atk / 2 SpD
+Atk, -Spe Nature
- Rock Slide
- Play Rough
- Sucker Punch
- Protect

Classic Trick Room Mawile, Rock Slide for the ZardY matchup mostly. No complaints with this set.

Farigiraf with Sitrus Berry and Armor Tail
15 HP / 31 Def / 20 SpA
+SpA, -Atk Nature
- Trick Room
- Energy Ball
- Psychic
- Helping Hand

Farig for setting Trick Room of course. Spread allows me to OHKO Mega Swampert with Energy Ball. Energy Ball over TBolt as it works just as well into the meta Water types but energy ball lets me handle Swampert.

Torkoal with Charcoal and Drought
32 HP / 32 SpA / 2 SpD
+SpA, -Spe Nature
- Eruption
- Weather Ball
- Protect
- Helping Hand

Again, classic Torkoal. I’m not 100% committed to the Helping Hand set, but it’s helpful for games where Trick Room turns run out and I need more damage from the Mawile sucker punch.

Sneasler with Iron Ball and Unburden
32 HP / 32 Atk / 2 Def
+Atk, -Spe Nature
- Close Combat
- Fake Out
- Poison Jab
- Fling

Maybe my favourite mon on this team. Max Attack and Max HP Sneasler with Iron Ball/Fling/Unburden combo. Sneasler is slower than 0 Speed Kingambit which allows for easy OHKO’s in Trick Room. Having the slow Sneasler under trick room is obviously not expected but genuinely the combo of Fighting/Poison coverage under trick room is great. I love the option of immediately OHKOing opposing Farigs/Gholdengos when they normally feel very safe in front of Sneasler with Fling.

Sinistcha with Kasib Berry and Hospitality
31 HP / 7 Def / 28 SpD
+SpD, -Atk Nature
- Matcha Gotcha
- Rage Powder
- Trick Room
- Protect

Bulky Sinistcha. Only really been bringing this to Rain Matchups so that the Archaludon matchup is more manageable with Rage Powder, then positioning Sneasler to hit it with Close Combat.

LF: Vileplume via HOME to be a bit nasty on Champions with my Torkoal…

I don’t have really anything good to trade, just random mons from my years and years old Pokemon go account.

Unburden is such a weird Ability with how the game represents it

It’s one of the only abilities that doesn’t show any information when it activates, like it doesnt show that your speed essentially gets a sharp increase.

And then the second dumbest thing about it is that the boost is one time and lost on switch out???
There’s no indication that this is the case whatsoever in the description of the ability. My mon is still unburdened when they switch in, they don’t have an item, why is my speed back to normal??

It just makes no sense whatsoever. Just show that I got a boost to my speed like a normal ability (e.g. Defiant), then it’s clear that when I switch out I’ll lose it like everything else.

So stupid

Looking for Sneasler for Champions, RNG has been unkind

Looking to do a Pokemon home trade as I don’t have a switch due to budget

Looking for a sneasler for my new team and have put a Squirtle into GTS. Username is HorsheCra

Presenting: Lifegain Lorehold, the Historian

https://manabox.app/decks/AZ39igUucsahcu4jtA1\_tQ

Brewed up this B2 / Low B3 deck for [[Lorehold, the Historian]]. I wanted to do something a little different so I loaded it up with expensive to cast life gain cards.

Win Cons include [[Storm Herd]], [[Aetherflux Reservoir]], and [[Angel of Destiny]]. Otherwise, it’s basically pillowfort-esque and a bit grindy, but fun!

Curious to hear people’s thoughts, anything they’d recommend including and more!

Thanks!

Help Finding a 3x4 Hipster Door Design

Hey all, been hunting the internet for a design that is a 3x4 hipster door (3 wide, 4 tall and slides downwards) for Bedrock Edition.

I’ve been trying my hand and trying to adapt designs I’ve found but I just can’t do it after several hours in creative. Has anyone got this design?

I’ve found 3x3 no problem but this doorway I’m working on really needs 3x4 for the effect I want to work.

Let me know, and thanks in advance for your help.
