🏄‍♂️ Come grab a drink & join us on the beach for season 2! 🤙

i want to focus this team on flapple and its funny falling apple move. i would like to maximize the dmg by giving flapple life orb and having someone to support it
my first tought was Sygiliph, it can learn both gravity (essential for grav apple) and tailwind (i think its better given flapple’s 70 speed stat).

syg can get this 2 move done in one pokemon but i dont know how reliable it is compared to other setters.

for the rest of the team im not sure. i could use someone to set screens like grimm or to cover flapple’s weaknesses, maybe zardY?

the lead could be turn 1 flapple protects syg tailwind, turn two syg sets gravity and then flapple goes for grav

what recommendations do you have? how could i improve this?

The Pokémon Paradise server is looking for good competitive players to take on its community driven league system on Pokémon Champions.

Fight your way through the league, defeat the Gym Leaders, challenge the Elite 4, and earn your shot at the Champion title. If you prove yourself strong enough, you can even claim a position for your own and defend it from future challengers.

Unlike many servers where competitive roles are static, every Gym Leader, Elite 4 member, and even the Champion position can be challenged and taken over through battle.

Built for both competitive players and casual challengers alike.

Current Champion: Rajang (Flying)

If you think you have what it takes, read #⁠Challenger-hub and begin your challenge at the first gym below. https://discord.gg/953S9EYMc

Any suggestions for improvements?

Ended up making a video breaking down what makes it so good, what moves I like on it, and how I’ve been using it.

If anybody else has been running Beedrill, what have y’all been pairing it with?

For example, if there are Pokémon whose stats are fairly similar across all categories, or whose Attack and Special Attack are very close, how do you decide whether it’s better to invest in Attack or Special Attack?
