    I could see those four working decently in Tower, though personally I'd still be worried about the lack of Protect. Besides that, Dracovish is a weird one for you, at least in the front. With no reliable way to make it go first for Fishous Rend immediately, something like replacing Whimsicott in...

    Well for one, if you're gonna play in the Battle Tower, you only have 4 Pokemon you can work with, not the full 6, so you'd have to reduce your team down from there. Secondly, especially for Doubles, in my opinion, this team lacks quite a bit of Protect. It's a fairly good move for doubles...

    I'm certain that a Togedemaru/Mega Gyarados would be viable, for many of the reasons you stated, however it's a somewhat old strategy. I remember seeing talk of that general core back in early/mid VGC 2017, and nowadays in USUM, with new toys like Clangorus Soulblaze and the more popular Tapus...

    I think Couer was saying that your team should have Tailwind or some type of speed control of you included Kommo-o on the team, since it can sometimes struggle to get into a position where it can Soulblaze safely. I am kinda interested in seeing how a more physically based Soulblaze Kommo-o...

    I actually disagree with Mega Salamence in this scenario because it gives him no really good STAB to hit Rock types, while having three Pokemon weak to them. Gyarados at least has a super effective STAB on them while being able to take neutral hits from Rock types when Mega Evolved. Perhaps...

    Looking at this, I wonder if what you lead influences who would set Trick Room, specifically like you had in your second test. If you had two different leads, with different super effective targets, would there be a consistent pattern in who would set Trick Room. Cause when I tested it out with...

    Curious, Burning Abyss, you mentioned when you were at 400 or so that you felt like Greninja was too weak to function well on your team, and you wanted to replace it with Blacephalon or Pheromosa or some other UB, if I remember correctly. Why did you end up sticking with Greninja after you...

    With my recent streak loss, I decided to look into the I've done a few tests regarding double Trick Room leads, to try and find any consistencies with who sets Trick Room in these scenarios. I've tried two tests, mostly cause I got a little bit bored with testing, and I'm not really sure what...

    Copyediting Battle Tree Mechanics and Guide [GP 0/2]

    I don't really remember seeing that conversation on Discord, but the closest thing to "novice-proof" Doubles team I can think of are KangaKoko and PheroLele. Basically, anything that can hit incredibly hard on their own, but at the same time doesn't need a heavy amount of support and synergize...

    I'd be quite wary of Aurora Veil in Singles, simply because there's only so many turns you can take advantage of the defense boosts. A Focus Sash can help ensure that Aurora Veil goes up, but then you only have 3 turns at most to take advantage of it. On the contrary, if you have Light Clay to...

    I'm not fully sure about who you could pair with these two, but have you considered Stomping Tantrum instead of Earthquake? Does more damage than Earthquake does to a single target due to the boost from Tough Claws. You miss on the ability of a spread move, which you may find more valuable, but...

    So while trying to get higher on the leaderboard, fixing up my Charjabug team, I decided to try out some new ideas that I had come up with while playing with my other team. None of these are leaderboard streaks, with only one team making it close to that point. One of them didn't even break past...

    Congrats on the rain streak you got with Kabutops there! Really neat writeup, though just having Stone Edge scares me to be honest. However, what really interested me were the other team ideas you've had, especially that second one involving Mega Gengar and Kommo-o. I guess the core you built up...

    Fair point, but it's kinda needed. My best guess, assuming only Salamence attacked the slot that swapped out, is that it was a Fairy type on Turn 1, since the AI doesn't seem to know about abilities that change the type of attacks when it comes up when they Mega. Or the allied Pokemon hit that...

    I think the question should be, what was the Pokemon you attacked first, was it turn 1, and what did your Pokemon do the turn before the switch?

    Can't upload how? Have you tried going into the PC in Festival Plaza to upload it there? Or is the battle video from the previous version of the game?

    Yeah. I forgot who, but someone used Totem Kommo-o to prevent Sky Drop things.

    Barely made it up there, much like my other leaderboard-worthy streaks, but I guess it counts. Reporting a streak of 91 wins in Super Doubles. I've used this team before, it's my Mega Absol + Tapu Lele team. I've quoted in below. Battles: Battle 50: ZF2W-WWWW-WWWA-EWQJ Battle Legend Blue...
