Kooks Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Wow you actually bothered to get 731 pokedex entries for poipole damn. anyways, I see some weakness in your team (coverage). Flying, Fairy, Dark and Water types. I recommend switching kangaskhan for Magnezone, as it can deal with flying, fairy and steel types. Magnezone- Modest Ability- Sturdy, 4 special def, 252 spec attack, 252 speed Item - Electric move-boosting item or choice scarf -Thunderbolt -Flash Cannon -Reflect / Hidden power -Volt Switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Volcarona can deal with most Dark types, I think except Tyranitar. But Mega Kanga handles it. He has plenty of coverage against Flying with 2 Ice-type moves and Thunder Fang on Hippowdon. I'd recommend swapping Heat Wave out for Thunderbolt on Naganadel. And instead use Whirlwind or Toxic on Hippo instead of Thunder Fang. Also I'd swap Hurricane out for Psychic on Volcarona. Or Giga Drain to give you the option to run Grassium-Z. Kind of depends what you're looking to take down. But overall your team consists of 3 uber-tier mons and the rest are basically the strongest there is available. It's a solid team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooks Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I swear nasty plot + draco meteor combo is the best (not in competitive pokemon like showdown, I mean like in normal playthrough) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see the general idea with the classic Hippo lead -> hazards -> setup -> sweep. Personally not a huge fan, but if it works for you by all means you should keep rocking with it! Preferences aside, though, 5 out of 6 mons focused on setup seems a bit redundant and you could probably use more flexibility in the form of speed control or terrain interactions. As mentioned by @Siv, you could drop Heat Wave on Naga, Thunder Fang on Hippo and Hurricane on Volc. Instead you could try additional coverage as he suggested or go for some utility: Struggle Bug (Volc) or Snarl (Naga) for debuffs, Tailwind (Naga or Volc) for speed control, Roost (Volc) or Slack Off (Hippo) for recovery, Light Screen on Volc for durability, Sunny Day if you need to get rid of your own sand, even cheeky stuff like Double Team, Substitute or Gastro Acid to screw with your opponent's abilities. Experiment and see what works best! Fake Out on Kanga also looks very good (maybe drop Sucker Punch, even if it sounds like blasphemy?), it's free chip damage in singles and helps your setup strategy in doubles, plus if you change the ability to Scrappy you can even use it on ghost types before mega evolving! Other than that, Thunder Wave on Gyarados? Even post gen 6 para is still broken, so might as well try it. As for items, not sure. Razor Fang on Gyara to boost Waterfall flinches seems fun, but it's likely to be useless if you are planning to just sweep with it... At that point just keep your water boosting thingy, or switch to Muscle Band/Expert Belt if you wish to take advantage of the other moves as well. Or totally go the opposite way and slap a Waterium-Z on that bad boy, Hydrovortex your way to your first Moxie kill and start snowballing from there, what the heck. Hope I gave you some ideas! And if everything else fails don't worry, you always have an auto-win button on Aegislash, lmfao. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
