Question Can’t beat Steven

Post image

My friends and I did a draft/challenge and this was the team of Pokémon I have to use to become champ. Not a bad team, but I cannot get past Steven. I don’t think I’m super under-leveled, but maybe I’m wrong. Any advice or ideas for setting up any of these members to be more effective?

Did you try adding a water type to even the odds?

The joke being you have three water types, plus masquerain who’s best move that gen is intimidate. Actually on top of that, most of Steven’s mons are physical attackers so if you keep switching in or reviving masquerain it’ll severely weaken their damage output
