I'm New to Teambuilding. Help with Mono-Dark Team?
I'm not new to competitive pokemon and even placed MB 4 in the last pokemon champions ranked session, but I've always struggled building my own team from scratch. (For MB4 I used CybertronVGC Mega Blastoise TR set, but replaced Basculegion and Kingambit with Bellibolt and Runegrigus.)
Now with my 50 pc slots secured from reaching masterball, I want to try my hand at making a team with my favorite type and favorite mons and am looking for some advice.
The team would preferably include Absol(mega or normal) and Mega Gyarados. Absol is my favorite pokemon, and dark my favorite type, hence Mono-Dark.
I'd also prefer to leave out Incineroar, as it's my least favorite dark type, but since the team roster is limited and I need the team to be competitively viable, I'll deal.
Couple of ideas I've had:
Anger point Krookadile with Earthquake/protect/Rock Slide/Throat chop(for hyper voice spammers). This paired with Super Luck Absol with Scope lens using Shadow Claw for basically guaranteed crit. It's been working, but Krookadile isn't bulky enough to survive more than getting off one or two Earthquakes. Hence my issue with that trick.
I also thought about the Beat up into Justified Absol then going Mega as an option, but not what the rest of the team would look like with that.
Oh, forgot to mention this is for doubles in champions, but I'd be fine with a singles team if that might be better for Mono-Dark.
Last thing, I'm more comfortable with Trickroom/Stall/Tank teams, but am willing to try a speed team to make this work.
Any pointers for team building or full team suggestions welcome! Please, and thank you in advance!
