My sandstorm team absolutely sucks, how can I fix it, or does it need a complete makeover?

So I wanted to make a sandstorm team just because I noticed how many pokemon seemed incredible in it, almost too many, the problem with a lot of them, is that they share the same weaknesses, and barely allow for coverage for water and grass, arguably the worst weakness they have.

I’m thinking mega garchomp just isn’t worth it at all, and I might replace it with mega glim or lucario

Another thing, I want this team to have usage in both double AND singles, but in singles it’s absolutely atrocious, I just don’t know how to build a singles team, doubles i can work with, but how the hell do you make a singles team?

This Aerodactyl will haunt me forever.

Playing a fan-thing of Gale of Darkness that predates Champions entirely, and I just got rock-slide-flinched by an Aerodactyl opener on 71 of Mt.Battle.

Just felt like sharing.

u/MaikoHerajin — 7 hours ago

has something like this ever happend(you can to share you stories like this if you want to)

(oh yeah it happens not long agao when i post this)soooo basicly when im on ultra ball tier 4 and in one match i chose one of my two pokemon and i start with toxapex and pelipper(if you want to know what my team looks like just ask me)and they were using hawlucha and snorlax and they mega there hawlucha and use protect on snorlax and hawlucha used a move i remember called entertament and becaus snorlax use protect it block the move and the stupidity doesnt really end here when its the 2nd turn they did the same thing but snorlax doesnt use protect this time becaus of that the move entertament actuelly hit this time and let just say i learn what it do which basicly swap you ability and when i saw the ability no gaurd and i knew what strat there trying to do which basicly uses snorlax fissure and no gaurd lets the user have no accuracy that means now snorlax fissure can now always hit but the dumb thing is that... i dont think my opponent nows the type chart becaus he use fissure on pelipper... who is a flying type... after this dumb move and now i know what hes trying to do he try to do fissure on my toxapex and becaus i know what he tried to do i just use the toxapex version of protect so fissure doesnt work(again)and for some resone after this instead of him using fissure on my toxapex instead... idk if he miss click or something becaus he click on my pelliper... again... and thats all then i destroy him... yeay?

Wave Crash - New Player

Hey ya'll, new to champions and I don't quite get the value of moves like wave crash and flare blitz. They seem to be quite strong, and can OHKO mons pretty reliably, but also result in huge backlash on your mon.

If your mon is the backbone of your composition versus the enemy comp, it sometimes feels like the opportunity cost of not having a different move can be very costly.

This for me is more true when used on pokemon that used up your mega evolution. The 30% hp loss may not be worth OHKO on an enemy mon that is relatively less useful.

It's obvious to me that these types of moves are prominent in the meta, so I'm missing some of the logic and math that underpin the strength behind these moves.

Basculegion for example does so much damage as the back-end pokemon that I almost never need wavecrash. It feels much better on support incineroar for example where his natural bulkiness makes the health trade feel better.

Help me learn and improve, it's clearly a logic bias and not rooted in the reality of the game and what is strong.

I searched previous reddit threads and didn't find anything definitive.

Give me suggestions for my team

Hi guys,

First time posting. I finally hit master rank. I am so happy I got to do this with my favourite pokemon mega charizard y (i know it's basic😐 ). But I have always thought mega charizard Y is the coolest looking pokemon. Just wish it got the dragon typing when it came out. I don't like the design of mega charizard x. So I was so happy when I learned mega charizard Y is the most viable pokemon right now competitively.

Any getting off topic. I got to master rank. But it wasn't easy. I kept loosing to so many teams. Can you guys give me any suggestions how to make my team better? I am on a mission to make the best mega charizard y team possible for the current meta. Help me out. Thanks

What's the best turn one you've had in the lab?

Currently testing Rain Dance on Talonflame as a disruptive support option with a few benefits to the team and, as you can see, I hit the jackpot.

Yes, they used Solar Beam
Yes, they forfeit after the Liquidation OHKO

Have you had anything similar in the lab while testing?

What Pokemon has saved your life during a match against a Top Meta opponent?

For me its focus stash Swampert with the move Stone Edge to 4x deplete Charizard Y

u/PokemonFan587 — 15 hours ago

How useful would Stonejourner be in Double Battles right now?

It ONLY has the ability Power Spot which increases the ally’s attack power by 30%, but not itself.

Any Italian Show Experts here

I'm stuck at around 1700 Elo.

Got some queries to understand the team better and the strategies around it.

u/Foreign-Sun9512 — 13 hours ago

Sir, a second Zard X enjoyer has hit the playing field.

Shot out to this creative fella, bamboozled with me that Skill swap Sap Sipper into Swampert from Wyrdeer. Then hit me with that surprise Zard X transformation lmao.

Hey guys I'm trying to make a team around skeledirge, oranguru and empoleon and I need help!

So I've been taking a tweak at this team I've conjured up. It's a trick room setup team. Kind of. The problem with it is that skeledirge is my favourite starter next to empoleon and I've been trying to use them to the best of my abilities but they keep falling short. The stupid gambit and fish keeps ruining my game and I was hoping to see if you guys have any idea on how to improve his team. I've been trying different Pokémons to fit the fire-water-grass core but none of them fit. You might be wondering where is sinistcha and well, it's an awkward fit. Like really awkward. I don't want to get rid of oranguru but it seems that I have too more and more. Please keep empoleon and skeledirge on this team and keep it as a trick room team. Need help with a solid team.
