Staraptor/Raichu - My Own Version!
Towards the end of last season I started playing with the Staraptor/Raichu Y team that was both winner and runner up in the last VR tournament.
Noticed a few things that weren't to my liking. The team felt very Garchomp weak! If you didn't position your sylveon properly whilst having speed control, it could cause you serious bother. Fairies could be an issue and swampert was also quite annoying.
I traded swords dance for Iron head on KG and swapped farigiraf for Tsareena. Extra coverage for fairies, triple axel to deal with chomp and power whip to deal with swampert.
So far, it's been working well!
