[Do you have a signature Pokemon ?]

SANDSLASH

Sandslash is like Sonic. But Sandslash is better than Sonic. 

 

I always pick up a Sandshrew / Sandslash whenever it's available in a Pokemon game, including Reborn. Good lil' sweepy boy with rocks/spin.

Came back to reborn after about 7 months, discovered that I'm stuck on Adrienn. Any team edit / strat suggestions would be appreciated

NOTE:  I realize that Sandslash isn't the strongest ground type possible, but I don't plan on removing him or swapping him out for even one fight.

I've tried everything with my current team that I was able to think of, still haven't managed to beat Charlotte. I don't have the Rainy Day TM.

 

I ended up catching Absol and Bronzong, and used them in place of my Bisharp and Garbodor.

 

@Razkar I probably would use a Rhyperior, or Camperupt if I were wanting a better ground type, but I always use a sandslash on my team if it is available, regardless of game. I appreciate the tip, though.
