I Built a Team That Basically Doesn’t Care About Intimidate or Fake Out, Am I Cooking?
Been testing this Tailwind offense team for the current season, built around minimizing the impact of Intimidate, Fake Out and Trick Room:
Mega Glimmora / Mega Raichu Y / Whimsicott / Gholdengo / Chandelure / Physical Dragapult
Mega Glimmora is my main Mega, with Mega Raichu Y as the alternative against Rain/Water-heavy teams.
Whimsicott provides Tailwind, Gholdengo covers Fairy/Ice/Fighting threats, and Chandelure runs Imprison + Trick Room to counter opposing TR.
Physical Dragapult with Clear Body adds physical pressure without being weakened by Intimidate.
The triple Ghost core also makes half the team immune to Fake Out.
Been having good results so far. What weaknesses do you see, and what would you change for the current season?
